them to the ring, and breaking them over his knee while Hall made sarcastic comments on the mic. This resulted in a match between Spicolli and Zbyszko being booked for SuperBrawl VIII on February 22, 1998. However, the match never took place due to Louie Spicolli's death one week before the match. His last match was on February 9 on WCW Monday Nitro losing to Chris Adams by disqualification. Death Spicolli had stopped taking drugs after renewed fears for his health, but the news that his mother was terminally ill with cancer led to a relapse. Spicolli died on February 15, 1998, five days after his 27th birthday, after overdosing on Soma and wine, choking on his own vomit in his sleep. Investigators found an empty vial of testosterone, unspecified analgesia and medication for the management of anxiety. The Los Angeles County coroner's office determined the drugs might have contributed to his heart condition.
