As an American I appreciate this video from you guys from the UK remembering so many people, not all but many of them, Americans. It’s wonderful knowing that so many people around the world shared my love and passion that I had for wrestling as a kid. Thank you again
I went to Nikolais funeral since I knew his niece. God, it was sweet but so sad. He was such a nice, sweet man, and taken too soon. Rest in peace, Nikolai.
I booked him for an ECW show back in the 90s and he kept calling the niteclub a Culb. I felt so bad because at intermission he stood in the ring and no one wanted his picture.
I find some comfort in knowing some wrestlers die of old age natural causes. So many young wrestlers die, it’s calming for the soul to know not all die so young. Vader was a really nice man. He was incredibly smart in business. Sad that he’s gone.
Johnny Sky you are right good sir and I apologize. But I really did see him once at a party for real. Most people said he was a real "swinging" guy. But when I met him he was just hanging around.
@J-Hamm H: You know, when my friend Rodney told me Dynamite had passed, I struggled with that, myself. And that was weird, because for one thing, that's not who I am, and I never even met the guy. Whatever he was, though, he was still a human being. And my guess is he probably suffered more than he deserved for his attitude, let alone his physical condition. My reaction was pretty unacceptable to me and all it was was a somehow-bitter "Ok?"
Richard Schepmoes I doubt that 1 incident is big enough because it’s not like he never came back to wwe hundreds of times after, he’ll get in eventually
Man I Remember Seeing Many Of These Wrestling Stars at the Park Center , Independence Colosseum In Charlotte , In the 60's my brother Billy and Me Were One of those kids always @ Ringside and Arena It was a Blast will never forget.
Man, I didn't know Grandmaster 2 Sexay died. That really hurts because when I was a kid, Too Cool was one of my favorite teams and I always used to dance when they danced. 😞
I remember the Grandmaster, that's Jerry Lawler s son , it was a tragedy. I remember Dynamite kid, he was good with the British bulldogs, world tag team champion s 1986 .
I grew up watching Brian Christopher on the Memphis Wrestling Saturday mornings, so learning of his passing was heartbreaking. He was such a huge talent, with tons of personality, I always hoped that his career would soar. Hope he found peace.
It's interesting how some of those who died were instrumental in others' careers who also died. It shows how much of an extended family this business is.
Wasnt sure what to think since the beginning of the video did have the standard whatculture tune. But it ended up being very respectful. A worthy list. Thanks whatculture/Jules.
Didn't know about Nikolai ... he was a great strong man tag team heel in the era of by far the best tag teams (late 80s) - The Bolsheviks, along with the Powers of Pain, Demolition, the Hart Foundation, the Bushwackers, Strike Force, the Rockers, the Twin Towers, the Mega Powers and others provided some great childhood memories.
Someone also mentioned this, but I thought I should second: Don Leo Jonathan, one of the first ever agile big men, passed last year as well. His 1972 feud with Andre was instrumental in creating Andre's legend.
Also they're saying Vader wasn't big in the WWF are you joking he was huge in the WWF he almost won the championship belt several times and don't forget the boy Meets World episodes so not only did he have that rough its time its time it's Vader time he also seemed like he was a nice guy so that's a sad one for real
@@raveoreynolds6049 not everybody remembers everything about every wrestler or person. It's common nature to forget. I mean, I just remembered that Bray Wyatt hasn't wrestled on TV since August...
Edward White I just started watching wrestling full time 2016 and I got the network September of that year, so excuse the shit out of me for not knowing every old time wrestler or their nicknames
I actually couldn't make it through the video. It was too sad for me. But WhatCulture team, I do thank you for the tribute to these great performers. I wish the best of health for all wrestlers, and you who is reading this, in 2019.
Wrestling is a brutal and grinding business, constant travel, sleeping in cheap hotels/motels, road food (processed , restaurants), performing several times a week sometimes hours away from each other. To say nothing of the documented steroid, drug, painkiller and alcohol abuse many used over the years to deal with pain (physical, emotional, spiritual). Promoters and employees have come to recognize the brutal grind of the business and the propensity for addiction. WWE travel schedules these days compared to the 70s, 80s and 90s is not even a comparison (still a lot of travel though) back then the guys were on the road 300 or more days a year. Still the body can only take so much without proper rest and recovery. The joke these days from the old schoolers is that modern wrestlers are more addicted to video games than any drug. As a 40 some thing year old who has seen many of his favorite characters/kid idols suffer tragic deaths and life situations - I kind of think it’s a good thing.
I can remember when I was a kid, going to watch wrestling in a small town in England called Kings Lynn. There were some great names in British wrestling that night, Johnny Kwango and Jackie Pallo just two of them. Then there was this scrawny kid who wowed everyone when he beat the man everyone loved to hate Mick McManus, a legend over here. Little did we know that kid would become legend over the pond. He was Dynamite. So sad when he passed
Awesome! And then he left to Calgary which is where I got to see his debut at Stampede Wrestling where everyone instantly knew he was above and beyond anything the wresting world had ever seen. Wrestlers come and go but there will never be another Dynamite Kid, he was without a doubt, the greatest of all time and anyone disputing that just has to go back and watch his legendary matches against Tiger Mask to understand he was light years ahead of anyone else. He was so good he was the ONLY wrestler ever in the WWF to have an open contract so that he could continue to go back to Japan where he was already a legend and wrestle.
The Dynamite Kid was the Greatest of all time! It's why he was still to this day the only wrestler in the WWF to have an open contract with Vince McMahon allowing him to continue wrestling in Japan where he was already a legend long before The British Bulldogs. I got to see him debute in Calgary where I would go watch Stampede Wrestling every Friday night where he instantly became a star with his superior speed, agility, and high-flying acrobats that nobody had ever witnessed before in their lives. Despite his life out of the ring and the dark clouds that seemed to follow him, nobody who watched him can deny that he was truly light years ahead of everyone. The GOAT! Don't believe it? Go do yourself a favor and watch his legendary matches against Tiger Mask 40 years ago! Nobody can deny that he was one of the most influential wrestlers of all time.
Dynamite Kid is probably the most underrated wrestler of all time He's also proof that CTE from concussion injuries goes back many, many years That he mentored Chris Benoit puts a lot of pieces of the puzzle together
Rest in peace great wrestling Lagends. Rest in piece Anvil qnd Big van vader and Ivan koloff. I remember u guys mostly so much nostqlgia. Ypu will be missed.
I usually can't stand Jules but on this I gotta say he nailed a video. Thank you Jules for showing the respect these guys deserve. A much loved bunch who the wrestling world will miss
Hey all, I love your videos and this one is no exception. I do want to point out one thing in case you guys ever edit this. In the case of Nick Busick: "cerebrospinal fluid" is not a medical diagnosis. Its something we all have, all the time. CSF is important in physical protection of the brain and spinal cord as well as nervous system support. I say this from a place of respect and figured you'd want to know.
I was searching to see if anyone else commented on this. I know that A CSF leak can kill you. I am wondering if that’s what he meant. I had to have a surgery to fix a leak that I had, because the spinal fluid was leaking out my nose. So it’s possible he just skipped a word.
To everyone complaining it was disrespectful or poorly timed, calm down. If they released it before the year was over world wide and another died new years eve then it would be incomplete. Also sure they made a couple small errors but they were not cracking jokes and thank God there was no "one per list."
Paul Jones (1942-2018) also died April 18th in Ga. (same day as Bruno). His career spanned from the 60s to the 90s. I liked him in the 70s but after that he became a heel. He won several championships, including the NWA World Heavyweight Tag Team Championship with Chief Wahoo McDaniel, Ricky Steamboat and several other partners of that era. He was also the promoter at the time Mr Wrestling I & II was signed in Ga. Mr. Wrestling I was also involved in the same plane crash in 1975 that ended Johnny Valentine's career and broke Ric Flair's back. He also received injuries but returned to wrestling, as did Flair.
I miss the spark that wwe used to have, it's way to repetitive now since Vince pretty much bought all major competition, when wcw and ecw went away so did their originality and flare

Thats because they arent true wrestling fans, just typical "wrestling didnt exist before Summerslam 92 " late to the dance UK millenials who call Mario Brothers "brows". Bros is pronounced "brothers". Never once as a kid did anyone I know call it Brows.
I became really interested in wrestling this past few months and because of that I started to watch and follow a lot of wrestling channels here on UA-cam. It's sad to see how many important names of the sport, whom I only recently discovered, passed away last year.
My former boyfriend Edd had cancer as well no he didn't have brain cancer but he had Acute lymphoma leukemia. It's was in his white blood cells and he had 2 hours to live it was enough time to say goodbye to him and reached down and put my and on the pluck on the life spent and trouned my head and pulled it. I feel to my knees and cried he was only 23 when he died.
Ultimate respect to the Wrestlers in this video. Many of who paved the way for the stars of today. I never knew Lathario had passed. I remember first seeing him at Wrestlemania XII

Nikolai was one of those guys you never heard anything bad about.
My parents actually call me Nikolai since my name is Nick and they remember watching him😢
@TITAN I'm guessing you're intimately familiar with lots of guys' nuts.
I booked him for an ECW show back in the 90s and he kept calling the niteclub a Culb. I felt so bad because at intermission he stood in the ring and no one wanted his picture.
I saw Nicali Volcoff fight this past year at his age a good man
Thank you for this video. It’s refreshing to see people that really do thorough the research on these wrestlers that they deserve. Big thumbs up guys.
I find some comfort in knowing some wrestlers die of old age natural causes. So many young wrestlers die, it’s calming for the soul to know not all die so young. Vader was a really nice man. He was incredibly smart in business. Sad that he’s gone.
My mother was a wrestler she died September 12,2018. Bertie M. Hodge.. She wrestled 1957-59 Florida.
Well may she rest in power
I’m so sorry for your loss
Thankyou. I'm trying to get Florida to honor her achievement of being the 1st fully uniformed police woman too.
Awsome wrestler

Thank You to all the wrestlers we lost last year. You entertained us all!
Rest In Peace to these amazing legends
Yes they entertained me so much
I agree
Bruno Sammartino’s death was the one that shocked me the most. I always had the feeling he was gonna live to be 100.
DJDoubleCee eddies shocked me ge was literally about to appear in my town i found out at the library i was 15 years ild i cried so hard
Our Italian Superman's legacy shall live forever
Brian Christophe. I saw him the night he died. I told him to hang in there.
Too soon
Johnny Sky you are right good sir and I apologize.
But I really did see him once at a party for real.
Most people said he was a real "swinging" guy. But when I met him he was just hanging around.
Watching Dynamite Kid’s body transformation from athleticism perfection to a whisper of his former self is heartbreaking.
Ikr? That part was scary and dark imo. As terrible as he was, hopefully he found some kind of acceptance and peace just before his death
Until you find out what a total scumbag he was in life
@J-Hamm H: You know, when my friend Rodney told me Dynamite had passed, I struggled with that, myself. And that was weird, because for one thing, that's not who I am, and I never even met the guy.

So sad the number of WWE stars who get into the HoF after they pass away. Get your crap together Vince.
Another way to look at it: Vince will be inducted after his death as well so they'll be in elite company.
Can you imagine Shawn Michaels said "Naw... screw that! Michael Hickenbottom is my name! I ain't changing shit!" hahaha
And....The Iron Sheik is still alive and making people humble.
So
He is a amazing person.
From legendary actors and legendary musicians to legendary wrestlers may they all rest in peace
