- Bret Hart paid tribute to Andrew Martin on his web site.
Hart said he knew of Martin's battle with drug addiction and wished he
could have helped him: "I’m sorry I didn’t see his pain and suffering;
had I known I’d have tried harder to save him. He slipped and we lost
one of the good ones. Nobody has anything but the nicest things to
remember about Andrew Martin. I will miss him. He was a dear friend, one
of very few I had left in a profession where too many die too young. My
thoughts and prayers go out to him and his entire family. Somehow, as
hard as we all tried, we lost another good soul forever."
