Indie Wrestler Jordan Saint Dies at 23
Independent wrestler Jordan Saint, known to fans as “Black Flash” Jordan Saint, died Friday after a head-on crash on Long Island. He was 23.
Saint, whose real name was Jordan Nasir St. Fort Colin, was driving a 2012 Nissan Altima on the Bethpage State Parkway when a 2019 Hyundai Sonata crossed over the double yellow line and struck his vehicle head-on, according to New York State Police. The crash happened around 9:30 a.m. Friday and closed the parkway in both directions for several hours.
The driver of the Hyundai was taken to a hospital with serious injuries. Police said there were no passengers in either vehicle.
Saint was from Patchogue, New York, and had been part of the independent wrestling scene since 2022. Naptown All-Pro Wrestling said he had been involved with the promotion since 2023 and had loved wrestling for most of his life.
He wrestled as “Black Flash” Jordan Saint and had recently returned to the ring after time away. In January, he announced his return to wrestling, writing, “Professional wrestling was the only real love of my life. I didn’t want to step away, but life lifed.”
Saint later appeared at Shooting Star Fest in Las Vegas during WrestleMania week and had been scheduled to appear at Pandemonium: Pro Wrestling’s Burst and Decay event Aug. 2 in Austin, Texas.
Pandemonium announced Saint’s death in a tribute Sunday.
“Jordan was a very talented wrestler but those that knew him, know that he was truly an unbelievable human,” the promotion wrote. “Nobody I’ve ever come across has loved pro wrestling more than Jordan Saint.”
Naptown All-Pro Wrestling also paid tribute to Saint.
“Hardheaded & dedicated to his craft, Jordan was quick to soak up knowledge,” the promotion wrote. “Combined with his superb athleticism, he took to all aspects of in-ring competition lightning fast. A true diamond-tier prospect, we’re heartbroken to know we won’t see his full potential achieved.”
TNA wrestler Bear Bronson wrote that Saint’s death “broke my heart.”
“This dude was ALWAYS smiling,” Bronson wrote. “ALWAYS happy, ALWAYS so polite. And man, did he have incredible ability that blew away everyone in the room. He loved learning & absorbing information. A beautiful soul gone way, way too soon.”
