Klinger underwent three different stints for TNA in 2011, 2014 as well as 2017 and shared the ring with the likes of Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe.
The German grappler’s death was announced by wrestling promotion wXw, which is based in his homeland and revealed he was planning to retire soon.
The announcement read: “We say goodbye to “Bad Bones” John Klinger.
“John Klinger was one of the defining wrestlers at wXw for over a decade.
“He won all of the major titles at wXw and won both 16 Carat Gold and Shortcut to the Top.
“In his almost 450 matches in the wXw ring, he always worked hard and did his best to excite his fans.
“At just 40 years old, John died far too early, shortly before his planned retirement. We wish his family and friends strength in this difficult time.”
Bad Bones’ last match took place only nine days ago as he beat ex-WWE superstar Flash Morgan Webster at PWT’s Total Blast From The Past.
