Below is their post:

“The Quebec wrestling community has just lost Ludger Proulx, who passed away at 61. He made his mark both as a wrestler and as a promoter.

In addition to working notably with Lutte Internationale, Ludger Proulx co‑founded ICW in 1990, helping build a new generation of Quebec wrestlers.

“An all‑category champion in ICW, respected by his peers and admired by the public, many still consider him today the most complete wrestler ever to step into a ring in Quebec. A legend? Yes. Alive? More than ever,” wrote ICW on its Facebook page.

In a message posted on Facebook shortly before his passing, Ludger Proulx shared a moving text.

“I told you before and I’ll tell you again: you have to fight to live. I did it until the very end. My train may have left, but yours is still on its way. Take good care of it,” he concluded.

Serge Proulx thanked everyone who expressed their support for his brother and the family.

“We want to sincerely thank you for all your kind words, your messages, and your tributes. They touched us deeply. Some of your messages were even read to him, allowing us to bring back beautiful memories and share a few more precious moments with him,” he wrote on Facebook.

No ceremony—funeral or otherwise—will be held, in accordance with Ludger Proulx’s wishes.”

Proulx had been in the wrestling business since the 1980s. He mainly wrestled in Quebec, Canada.

Fightful would like to extend our condolences to the family and friends of Ludger Proulx.
