Fightful is sad to report that Jimmy Rave (James Michael Guffey) has passed away at the age of 39.
In November 2020, Rave revealed that doctors found an infection in his arm which forced his left arm to be amputated. In October, Rave revealed that due to a MRSA infection, both of his legs had been amputated. The amputations were a result of Rave's struggles with addiction over the years.
Rave started wrestling in 1999 and is best known for his time in ROH where he was part of The Embassy. He also made appearances in TNA/IMPACT where he teamed with Lance Archer as the Rock and Rave Infection, wrestled on a 2005 episode of WWE Sunday Night Heat, and competed in the 2008 NJPW Best Of The Super Junior XV.
Rave is a former two-time NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion, a former, CZW Iron Man Champion, and a former FIP Tag Team Champion.
He last wrestled at CZW Cage Of Death XXI in December 2019.
