I’m just learning now of the death of Xavier. He was the second ever ROH champion, and very highly respected by his peers. So sad to lose someone so young. #RIPXavier pic.twitter.com/1CXVhw4xC0

Wow, just such an underappreciated talent, bangers against London/Styles/Briscoe as ROH Champ, and some really good stuff with Daniels & John Walters when he returned, and even a solid forgotten title match with Danielson during Bryan’s run. Just sad news. #RIPXavier

Xavier, le 2ème champion du monde de l’histoire de la #ROH, est décédé à l’age de 43 ans. Aucun détail concernant les causes du décès pour le moment. Xavier devait faire son retour à la ROH en mars dernier mais les shows ont été annulés à cause de la pandémie. #RIPXavier.

Aww, man. He’s one of the first names that came to mind when I thought of early @ringofhonor because of his battles with @OneWorldWarrior back when. Bummer to hear. #RIPXavier

Sad news to report as long time Indy pro wrestler, #Xavier has passed away. I had to honor to witness his start in NYC 20 years ago with his rival against #LowKi to his run in #ROH to his #MMA career…no word on cause of death, he was 43#RIPXavier pic.twitter.com/DLPLq30WVX

Sad to learn of the passing of Xavier. From Jersey All Pro to Ring of Honor I saw him wrestle alot. Like so many of that era he was a victim of changes in the business. He deserved better. #ripxavier #rohchampion…

I was completely stunned to find out of Xavier passing. I still remember the classics you would put on with Low-Ki in the Elk’s Lodge in Queens NY. I always appreciated your talent in the ring. Thank you for all you did for wrestling. You will be sorely missed. #RIPXavier pic.twitter.com/RBYgksgFu5

Shocked to log onto Twitter & read of the passing of Xavier. I did not know him well but I spent a little time with him when he came to WCPW in 2001 for a few shows. I was his chaperone each time & this man was strictly business, which I appreciated. 42 is too young.#RIPXavier pic.twitter.com/LvQyukbwzO

I never got to watch one of his matches before his passing. So I’ll be watching a bunch of them now. But I’m still really sad to hear about this.

Wow, I cant believe it, Rest In Peace Xavier. One of the very first ROH champs, a Tri State Indie legend, almost had a match against Jay Lethal back in March but due to corona it was cancelled. Devastating news, sending my thoughts and prayers to his family and friends #RIPXavier

Xavier was the NEW Champion when I was first knew about “indy wrestling”. His intensity in the ring was something that stood out to me from the moment I saw him. Saddened to hear about his passing. Only met him a few times, always cool. Condolences to all who are hurt. #RIPXavier
— Patriarch (@Only1Vlad) August 17, 2020
Xavier’s title match with Low-ki was one of the 1st matches that made me a fan of ROH. He was seriously underrated as an wrestler, and one of the best during the early days of ROH. Gone too soon, he will be missed. #RIPXavier pic.twitter.com/AtIfcYwE6z

Condolences to the family & friends of John ‘Xavier’ Bedoya. He influenced not only the growth of the NY/NJ/PA indie scene but pro wrestling as a whole.

Pretty sure @Chris_Miccio and I were in attendance for this #WWE #Smackdown taping in 2003 which saw this Brian Kendrick vs. Xavier match for Velocity. I recall being happy at this “#ROH reunion”, so to speak, and the match was pretty good. #RIPXavier

Absolutely stunned to see Xavier has passed away. Xavier was one of my first discoveries back when I was first getting into indies. Early ROH was everything. Xavier was a big part of that and man… it hurts the heart. August is rough, Mitch Ryder and now Xavier. #RIPXavier

#RIPXavier man I remember first looking at his wiki page and he was the only ROH champ I thought “I have no idea who this guy was or how he was champ” but watching his old stuff, he was pretty awesome heel champ prior to the monster Joe reign

When I first travelled to NY in 2011 and on a whim went to @HOGwrestling training, Xavier was there. He was so kind upon meeting him, and he was incredibly humble. Even allowed me to lead him and others through a drill, which was totally unexpected. #RIPXavier pic.twitter.com/WJ1vksEoPM

Respect to #RIPXavier. We did not meet or talk. Certain things indicate that we would have very differing opinions on politics. But if you put in the work, and took the bumps, and entertained the people, you are my brother no matter what. God bless and keep you and your family.

When I first learned of wrestling outside of the WWF (I’m old) it was ROH. Absolutely floored by 3 guys on that DVD. Brian Danielson, Low-Ki, and Xavier. He was an innovator and a total package performer. #RIPXavier
