The passing of Joseph Hudson, aka Jocephus, aka the Question Mark, is one that floored so many of us when the news first broke.

At just 44 years of age, Joseph died on 24 February, with NWA Worlds Champion Nick Aldis having since detailed how Hudson had an undiagnosed, undetectable congenital heart defect.

Jocephus' final match saw him (as the Question Mark) and Aron Stevens go up against the legendary Rock 'n' Roll Express for the National Wrestling Alliance; an organisation he also played a pivotal role behind the scenes for until his tragic passing.
