The wrestling world is saddened by the loss of Scott Henson. The wrestler tragically passed away at the age of 40.
News of Henson’s passing was shared by Canadian Apex Wrestling on Facebook on June 16, 2024. In their statement, they acknowledged Henson’s status as a Tag Team Champion for the promotion and shared their condolences to those who knew him.
”Canadian Apex Wrestling is deeply saddened to announce the passing of one of our Tag Team Champions and beloved friend, Scott Henson. Our hearts are heavy with grief, and we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. Scott, your impact on the Pacific Northwest wrestling community is immeasurable. You were a driving force behind the careers of many, and your contributions often went unnoticed. We love you, Scott, and your absence leaves a void that words cannot express. You will be profoundly missed.”
On Twitter/X, Henson’s long-time tag team partner Sarian Soft Paws shared a lengthy tribute to Scott, an extract reads:
“Today was the first day I woke up knowing I didn’t have my tag team partner, my best friend, the funniest, most outrageous and ridiculous person I’ve ever met in my life. I spent almost 24 hours straight with you and in the very few hours after we parted ways, you were gone.”
Henson had started his career in October 2002 and has worked for various promotions across Canada and the U.S. In his ‘Big Cat’ gimmick, Henson wore gloves that resembled parks and would squeeze his hands to look like paws and fans would replicate the gesture.
Outside of the ring, Henson had been an active podcaster and gamer and hosted the The Worst Year of Our Lives podcast with Sarian.
