BREAKING TRAGEDY: RIP — WWE Mourns the Loss of Maxx Justice, Also Known as Mike Diamond, Killed in Bike Crash
The wrestling world is reeling from the sudden and tragic loss of former WWE star Mike Raybeck — better known to fans as Maxx Justice and Mike Diamond. The 63-year-old veteran was fatally struck by a vehicle while riding his bicycle near Chabot College in Hayward, California, where he was commuting home from work.
Raybeck, a towering presence in the ring at 6’6″ and over 300 pounds, carved out a respected legacy during the 1990s and early 2000s. He was best known for his time with All Pro Wrestling (APW), where he was a five-time Universal Champion, and for his appearances in both WCW and the then-WWF. He also competed internationally in Mexico and Japan, earning recognition for his powerhouse style and dedication to the craft.
Wrestling fans may also remember Raybeck from the acclaimed documentary Beyond the Mat, where he appeared during his time in the APW Boot Camp training program.
News of his death has sent shockwaves through the wrestling community, coming just days after the passing of hardcore icon Sabu. Tributes have poured in on social media from fans, fellow wrestlers, and promotions across the globe, all honoring a man who gave his heart to professional wrestling and left an unforgettable impact.
Outside the ring, Raybeck worked as a maintenance mechanic for the City of Hayward and was admired for his work ethic and humility. His loss is being felt not just by fans of sports entertainment, but by his local community as well.
The wrestling world mourns today. Rest in peace, Maxx Justice. Your legacy lives on in every fan you inspired.
