PWInsider.com is saddened to report the passing of Ralph Mosca, who wrestled for years in the Northeast before relocating to the Florida area. Mosca was only 55 years old.
Mosca, who performed under that name as well as Ralph Lemieux, made a number of WWF enhancement appearances in the early 1990s, including working as Kevin Nash's opponent when Nash made his WWE in-ring debut as Diesel.
Mosca was later a regular for a number of Florida promotions, including Florida Underground Wrestling, Full Impact Pro and ACW. He had held a number of championships in ACW, including four reigns as their Heavyweight Champion. He also made in-ring appearances for then-WWE developmental FCW.
On his Facebook, Fidel Sierra noted, "Just want to say it’s a very sad day Finding out Ralph Mosca passed away lot of great times together we Booked FUW together for a While and he would Come by my Bar Crazy Dave’s Sports Bar We always laughed together had some crazy times at the end of the day. I lost another brother in this pro wrestling business rest in peace condolences to the family and friends from Fidel, Sierra, the Cuban, Assassian, and fantasy."
Tony Devito, who knew Mosca dating back to 10th grade in High School and helped break him into the business, paid tribute, writing, "RIP Ralph Mosca I love you forever."
Mosca had been dealing with several health issues in recent years. He last wrestled regularly in 2014 and last appeared in 2022 working a Bunkhouse Battle Royal on a FIP event.
PWInsider.com sends our deepest condolences to Mosca's friends, family and fans.
