Professional wrestler Ice Train, real name Harold Hogue, died on January 23 at the age of 56. The Houge family kept the details under wraps. The cause of death of the former wrestler has not been confirmed, although he died in a hospital in Los Angeles. The former wrestler was most likely sick.
Harold, a former Central State University football player, began his professional wrestling career in 1991. The wrestler’s last appearance was in 2019 for European Wrestling Promotion against Dave Taylor. The wrestler left behind his wife Tiana and four children: Mykal, Yuri, Bishop and Myles.
The cause of death of the wrestler in the ice train
Former World Championship wrestler Ice Train, also known as MI Smooth, died on Tuesday at the age of 56. Harold was admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles and died there. On January 21, Igne Gullicksen established the Meal Train for the Houge family. In her message, Igne said Harlods’ wife, Tiana, was on her way to see her husband in Los Angeles. In the meantime, their four children will live in Georgia. Igne started the dinner train so that the four children would not be financially stressed. The goal of $4,200 was reached in just a few minutes. Diamond Dallas Page, one of Hogue’s close friends, was the first to alert fans to the wrestler’s death.
On Tuesday afternoon, Page said on Instagram: “It was very sad to learn that one of my closest brothers has passed. Harold Houge, alias H, Ice Train or Smooth, was a fighter and one of the kindest individuals I have ever met.”
Harold’s younger sister, Sanya L Weston, later posted a message announcing her brother’s death. Sanya said the wrestler died peacefully in his heavenly home, surrounded by his wife, children and siblings, physically and digitally. She further said, “He leaves a legacy of excellence in family, faith, football, professional wrestling, mentoring and protecting his younger sister.” From what Igne and Sanya revealed on their social media profiles, it seems that Harold has been suffering from some illness for a long time and the family may have been aware of the consequences.
Ice Train Wrestling career
Ice Train was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia and made his professional wrestling debut at World Championship Wrestling in 1993. He would appear on WCW Worldwide and Saturday Night, quickly becoming a fan favorite. After one year in WCW, Hogue joined the Catch Wrestling Association, where he stayed for three years.
In 1996, he returned to WCW and formed a tag team with Scott Norton. The two will become known as Fire and Ice. Norton symbolized fire, while Hogue represented ice. The two would defeat multiple teams and establish themselves as contenders for the World Tag Team Championship. But the two soon parted ways, and Harlod returned to singles competition. After an 18-year hiatus, Hogue returned to wrestling in 2019 for a one-off match against Dave Taylor. Harold is a football Hall of Famer at Central State University, in addition to being a noted wrestler. In 2021, Central State University will induct Harold into its Hall of Fame. Harold was named a three-time All-American while attending Central State University.
