Wrestling World Rembers Joe Doering
The wrestling world sadly lost Joe Doering on June 26, as he passed away at the age of 44 after battling brain cancer.
Doering competed all over the world during his career, including NJPW, AJPW, and TNA Wrestling.
On social media, a number of wrestlers including Josh Alexander, Adam Pearce, Sami Callihan, and promotions like TNA and AEW shared their memories of Doering.
July 1 2022 I wrestled what would be Joe Doering’s last match.
A month prior I’d noticed something was off with Joe. But it never crossed my mind that his cancer might have returned. In my mind he’d already faced that battle and won.
I’ve thought about it all countless times… pic.twitter.com/xsjzvcYzey

On August 30, 2022, it was announced Doering would be stepping away from wrestling as his brain cancer had returned and he would need to undergo surgery. In December 2025, it was revealed that he was battling a third brain tumor. Doering has spent nearly ten years fighting brain cancer.
