Absolute Intense Wrestling's Co-Owner John Thorn issued the following statement:


Absolute Intense Wrestling mourns the loss of Ohio-based Indy Wrestler, Matt Lowry. Matt, age 21, wrestled under the name "Matt Riot." Originally training under Shark Boy, Matt worked AIW, American Luchacore, HWA, IWA:MS and many more. Matt held the AIW Tag Titles with Sami Callihan in 2008 also teamed with Sami in other places as well. Matt who over the last few years had great personal loss, took a hiatus from wrestling in early 2009. Matt recently returned to wrestling moving to New Jersey to try and get into CZW and other local Indies. Reports are that on Monday during a routine training session a bump went awry and Matt received a bleeding of the brain. No other info is known at this time. Matt will be remembered for his great sense of humor, huge heart and his passion for the business of professional wrestling. RIP Matt Riot!
