Guest Report post Posted May 18, 2002 ERICH KULAS PASSES AWAY Updated: 5/18/2002 10:58:16 AM Erich Kulas, whose one match stint in ECW as Mass Transit led to one of the most infamous moments in recent wrestling history, passed away at his home in Cranston, RI, on 5/14. He was 22. No further details are available on his death. In 1996, Kulas, when he was 17, worked a tag match for ECW in Revere, MA, subbing for Axl Rotten and teaming with D-Von Dudley vs. the Gangstas. New Jack destroyed Kulas, billed as “Mass Transit”, during the match, including cutting him open with an Xacto knife. Anyone who saw the tape of the match will not soon forget the sight of Kulas pouring blood out of his forehead. Charges of criminal assault were brought against Jack. He was found not guilty. Kulas later sued Jack and ECW (among others), claiming permanent disfigurement and emotional distress. That suit was also dismissed.
