@@steveblizzard4281 Ok, Eve Sizzored. I remember the exact moment I heard Owen Hart Died in my city. I was watching Walker Texas Ranger, when during a Commercial Break, and they said something about, "Coming Up, News of the Death at Kemper Arena this evening." It's the same Kemper Family as Ellie Kemper. Those RICH PRICKS!
This is a really well thoughtful and respectful way to put a list like this together. So much tragedy but their names and contributions will not be forgotten.
*I love how you gave props to some of the older, founding members of Wrestling. My 2nd Cousin was Haystack Calhoun, I was like 5-6 years old the last time I saw him. He was Wrestling at the D.C. Coliseum and my Grandparents took me. He threw me into the air so high that it frightened me. He then handed me a silver dollar which of course, back then was a lot of Candy for a kid. I then met a big Fella in Jamestown, N.Y. with these **_huge hands_** years later, in the 90s. I stated, **_"You should've Wrestled with those big hands"_** then telling him who my Cousin was. He had a tear in his eye when he told me, **_"That was one of my ol' Tag Team partners!"_*
Those were memorial days back then; Bruno Sammartino, I met when I lived in Pittsburgh. The Claw lives in Jamestown, NY where I live now, although I've not seen him in several years. I didn't really remember too much about him but when we got to talking at a Bar, eventually he was surprised that I even knew Haystack and said, with a tear in his eye, he'd been Tag Team partners with him, back in the early years. Those were the days my friend!!
Eddie wasn’t found dead. Chavo said when they went in his hotel room he was lying on the bathroom floor with a toothbrush in his mouth making a gurgling sound. Chavo was holding him trying to keep him awake and then he said the gurgling stopped and he knew Eddie was gone
@@brooklinwebb9546 that was something that was scripted between him and JBL. JBL even said that it was something that Eddie came up with for the story line
The Perro Aguayo Jr. incident happened in a tag team match wrestling against Rey Mysterio. He went cold after Rey hit his finisher, 619. It's sad that it happened...
It's feels so strange to hear about many of these wrestlers you grew up watching, dying in mysterious, or sad ways, what's sadder still is that people still honestly think these wrestlers are intentionally hurting one another, like they could literally have all those fights day in, and day out, the matches are predetermined, rehearsed, and choreographed to give you best show they can while keeping the wrestlers safe, enjoy the show, but realize it's a show.
Thank you so incredibly much for the Luther Lindsey shoutout...his is a story of triumph...all races, colors and creeds converged in one, truly brave, young man.
My husband, a bunch of our friends, and I were watching Over the Edge on pay per view at a bar the night Owen Hart fell to his death. Something went crazy at one point, and we thought "technical difficulties".... Then Ross came on and said about Owen's tragic demise. The entire place went from cheerful and crazy to somber and silent. I remember crying a bit. One of my coworkers at the time was a huge Hart Foundation fan, and she was so upset over his passing. She had met him several times and thought he was such a nice guy. It was so sad. Adrian Adonis died in a car accident in Newfoundland, back in 1988. I remember hearing about it on the radio.
It’s when you look back you realise just how good Eddie was, don’t think I appreciated watching him at the time as much as should have but he was incredible.
You could add Mexican wrestler Perro Aguayo Jr. (son of Mexican wrestling legend Perro Aguayo) to this list. He wrestled his final match against Rey Mysterio Jr. at the age of 35. His death was from a snapped vertebra and cervical damage as a result of his neck hitting a ring rope during the match.
I still think that there’s a lot more to the Chris Benoit story. Before everything happened, Chris was on the phone with Chavo Guerrero and told Chavo that someone was at the door and he had to go. So I still believe that it’s possible that someone else was involved, possibly Nancy’s ex husband. When I lived in the Georgia mountains, I met a man named Chet Grimsley who used to be the manager for JYD. I heard a lot of stories about the wrestlers from that time. I was so sad when I heard that the Ultimate Warrior passed away days after being inducted into the HOF. Thank you for a great video and I hope all these wrestlers RIP.
Owen and the Von Erich family are the most heartbreaking to me. For the Von Erich's, how many tragedies can one family endure!? Kevin's sons, Marshall and Ross, wrestle for MLW and i pray for them because wrestling and that family seems to be a curse. Theyre like the Kennedy's of the wrestling world ffs. And what happened to Owen never shoulda happened. He was an amazing wrestler and would've had a long career had that not happened.
I totally agree with you. He had a feeling not to do it but he was pressured my Vince McMahon. He should be ashamed to realize that he killed a wrestler.
I was expecting a lot of the wrestlers mentioned and there was a wrestler I was not familiar with, Chief Don Eagle, but I feel that a HUGE omission was John Huber who wrestled as Brodie Lee outside of WWE (most recently in AEW) and Luke Harper in WWE who tragically died in 2020 from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
As much as it hurts and at this relatively young age, but I think an illness as the cause of death is too common and not as tragic as a murder or accident. I mean, a lot of wrestlers die of illnesses.
Before I watched I was like Owen Hart definitely had to be on this list the fact he died in the ring and he was that rare wrestler that not alot of people had a bad thing to say about is still crazy to me
All wtestlers are pity they are good peiple there tries themselves for looking good carrer ti earn money in.the good way through thuer firce all.if them.are good people i.pity fir them.they truesuch bye yomthem.condolences ti.thier lived families oo
I saw him wrestling 9 days before his accident. I think he was the most tragic of all of them. Can you imagine the crowd's reaction see it happen right before their eyes? Especially the children?
@@lavanderwilliams794 yea I definitely couldn't imagine. If that happened today so many people would catch it on their phones to which would make it worst
Shocking that body's killer still gets to walk around and have his life like that. No justice in the world, in this day and age something so high profiled wouldn't go away so easily
I've seen that, so many of the greatest wrestlers are nothing more than shells, or straight up train wrecks, they put their bodies on the line for years, had to wrestle injured, then were just tossed aside, and forced to wrestle for peanuts if they get anything at all, some made to retirement with money and security, I had no idea that Randy Savage, and Lanny Poffo were brothers..
There were a number of other wrestlers who could have been mentioned in this video: Andre the Giant, Yokozuna (Rodney Anoa'i), Curt Henning, John Huber (Luke Harper in WWE/Brodie Lee in AEW), Chris Kanyon, Test (Andrew Martin), Rick Rude, Adrian Adonis, Chyna and Brian Christopher (Grandmaster Sexay of Too Cool and the son of Jerry Lawler).
I suspect they're focusing more on deaths what that were completely unexpected. Andre had a medical condition, and while his death was very sad and upsetting to a lot of wrestling fans, it wasn't completely unexpected
Its really sad what happened to these wrestlers, and the majority of these I've heard of because of having 3 generations of wrestling fans as well attending various events, but the most horrific death was Owen Hart's death, and Chris Benoit murder suicide.
Randy's brother inducted him into the Hall of Fame for WWE.. n said every year when the area Randy lived had Special Olympics games, Randy would get WWE to donate a truckload of merchandise, n Randy would happily sign autograph n take pictures with tge athletes 🙂🙂 His brother said the best thing for me was when tge athletes would tell Randy " you're my hero " that Randy would always reply.. thanks but you're the hero I'm just a wrestler" ( or words to that effect ) Randy was a class act in and out of the ring ❤❤
Dying in young age,doing this sport,speak volumes to me ❗️but I love ❤️ the 80 th so much watching my heroes 👍thanks for all the joy you have given to me 😎R I P all 🙏💕🙏
In the past 20 years more than 200 pro wrestlers have died from heart conditions, suicides or overdoses due to rampant steroid and prescription drugs/illegal drug abuse. Hard to stamp it out when the head of WWE McMahon was a heavy user and trafficker if steroids.
I work at a hotel near the stadium Owen Heart died at and my co-worker said she saw his death live. When people ask her if she thought it was real she said, “yes it’s real. I work with those people.” She was talking about the medics and police. She’s a security guard so we do work with the police other first responders.
My mom knew the macho man from her job.He used to live in Treasure Island Florida not far from where i used to live.Mom said he was a nice guy.She didn't know he was famous because his credit card had his legal name Randy Poffo on it.He explained to her that he was a professional wrestler.
On Monday Night Raw when they announced Randy's passing everyone had a moment of silence for him, cameras showed the audience as well as performers in the locker room with tears running down their faces.. Kofi Kingston n CM Punk paid tribute to Macho Man by coming out with pink n yellow wrestling attire ❤❤ I was blessed to grow up watching a lot of these performers... Macho Man n Ultimate Warrior n Junk Yard Dog were some of my faves.. my brother n I even had their action figures ❤
For sure a trip down memory lane. Grandad was manager of old West Palm Beach Auditorium in 60s and 70s. Buddy Fuller was big promoter back then. Still have audagraphed pictures of some of those guys from meeting them after there matches.
All great legends that were part of my childhood watching along with my siblings. Tragic endings to their lives, but they live in the memories of their fans.
The Blue Blazer was Owen's way of tributing Luche Libre wrestling...typically not very welcoming to outsiders...proving both both the respect Owen EARNED, and the respect he wanted to repay the community.
This is one of the reasons why I love wrestling so much and even if the shows nowadays aren't as good as they used to be and I'll be the first to me I don't watch him nearly as much as I used to but it's one of those loves I just can never let go. And this is a big part of the reason why wrestling was always so interesting to me it's far crazier behind the scenes than what they actually show us. Out of all shows that should be made into reality show wrestlers in their everyday lives definitely should be would have to be unscripted of course but yeah that's not the way they do things unfortunately, sadly not forget to hear about it afterwards and videos like this
Of course she knew. He got in because her family was big in the mafia. Then he makes a big F up that turns him into a huge liability. So yes, she 100% knew what was going down as they probably told her what was going to happen and to make sure she was out of the house.
Eddie's dad would put on wrestling shows in small places like the Olympic auditorium. Well Eddie and Chavo would do their practicing during intermission, well Eddie's dad had to stop them because after a couple months people. Weren't leaving their seats because Eddie and Chavo were that entertaining
I was a big Test fan when I watched the Attitude Era. Test had all the tools to be a bigger star than he was. WWE didn't use him right,he should have been in main events. His death was a shock to me,sad that he died of an overdose. Eddie Guerrero,Chris Benoit and Owen Hart were also shocking. I hope these wrestlers are resting in peace
What about "Adorable" Adrian Adonis, who died with two other wrestlers, when the van they were travelling in to a show skidded on ice and crashed, killing all on board?
Randy Savage lived longer than I expected - always in character, always amped on 10, he had to be jacked up on an inexhaustible supply of cocaine, amphetamines, steroids to operate at that level.
Rewatching all the WWF episodes on Peacock, seeing Chris Benoit is really weird, all the moves that you can see his head clearly getting hurt. The whole CTE came out because Nowinski, who was runner up on Tough Enough and later got a concussion that cause post concussion syndrome for a year before he retired from WWF and started researching it. So many of them had CTE 😑
Okay Jack let's get the story straight.. My mom used to clean savages home... She always mentioned messes he used to leave every weekend. On his continuous cocaine parties. Yes the heart will give out on cocaine
We all definitely need to check and take better care of our hearts. One of the reasons alot of older wrestlers died of heart issues is from the amount of steroids and drugs they all used to do back when they were in their prime (and for alot, they continued drugs after they left the business)
So sad. Had a chance to meet several of these athletes and Macho Man was the best. If interested, I honored him with a nice & respectful story about him on my channel.
Very tragic stories, specially the ones of those who were victims of accidents or never quit before it was too late. One could think that the event being so physically demanding the safety regulations od real sports should apply, but Pro Wresting has avoided regulation by labeling itself entertainment.
I live in Hillsborough County Florida Macho Man Randy Savage lived in Sarasota Florida it was so sad to see that happen to him and I was watching over the edge on here for you before the whole screen out when Owen Hart fell down and hit the ring post
We misidentified Kemper Arena as Kempel, sorry about that! RIP to all mentioned here.

The fact Macho Man never came back really sucks, Warrior made his peace just in time
Warrior was always my favorite wrestler. Bummed me when he died, but glad he made peace, like you said.
Savage had no interest to return he was financially well off unlike most who keep returning
Randy Savage was a legend in wrestling,enjoyed watching him in the times..top wrestlers in the ring
No one outworked Savage.

Well Eddie and Chavo would do their practicing during intermission, well Eddie's dad had to stop them because after a couple months people. Weren't leaving their seats because Eddie and Chavo were that entertaining
As a life long wrestling fan you did a great job
Brian Christopher's death is suspicious and tragic. So is Mike Awesome and Test's deaths.
I was a big Test fan when I watched the Attitude Era. Test had all the tools to be a bigger star than he was. WWE didn't use him right,he should have been in main events. His death was a shock to me,sad that he died of an overdose.
Eddie Guerrero,Chris Benoit and Owen Hart were also shocking.
I hope these wrestlers are resting in peace
MY HAT OFF TO THESE PEOPLE OF THE WRESTLING FRATERNITY. I GREW UP WATCHING WRESTLING. FROM THE NEW ZEALAND WRESTLING OF THE EARLY 70s TO WWF ONWARDS
What about "Adorable" Adrian Adonis, who died with two other wrestlers, when the van they were travelling in to a show skidded on ice and crashed, killing all on board?
This was sad but beautiful to watch, thanks 🙏
So sad.
R.I.P.
Randy Savage lived longer than I expected - always in character, always amped on 10, he had to be jacked up on an inexhaustible supply of cocaine, amphetamines, steroids to operate at that level.
Hmmmmm, I always thought Eddie Guerrero died in the Ring from a heart attack...you learn something new everyday, RIP to all these great wrestlers.
if you watch the chris benoit episodes of dark side of the ring, it goes in depth of the day eddie died and how it went down.
Then u didn’t really watch wrestling then
@@montana10155 well, I guess I didn't.
Probably confused by the time they faked a heart attack from Eddie Guerrero on an episode it wasnt too much earlier than before he died either
That was a wrestling angle
I still have a few of their trading cards. Macho man Randy Savage was always my favorite.
I'm surprised they didn't bring up Rowdy Roddy Piper.
His death wasn’t really as tragic as these
He certainly seemed like a tortured soul.
Rewatching all the WWF episodes on Peacock, seeing Chris Benoit is really weird, all the moves that you can see his head clearly getting hurt. The whole CTE came out because Nowinski, who was runner up on Tough Enough and later got a concussion that cause post concussion syndrome for a year before he retired from WWF and started researching it. So many of them had CTE 😑
Randy Savage was my idol back in the days
I still live all the wrestlers then and now.rips.god bless
.
...It is so hard to hear what happened to Owen Hart....
Owen Harts was so tragic as he was so young and healthy . Could have gone far
May all the great wrestlers that have passed away,MAY you all R.I.P.
Stole from the mafia, and was found shot 17 time in his home, but we have no idea who did it🤣🤣🤣
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !!!
THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES !!! .
MISS YOU MUCH *** BLACKJACK MULLIGAN & DUSTY RHOADS
Never realized how many wrestlers suffered tragedy
This isn't even close to all of them either.
And even the ones that live long do suffer a lot during their life. The human body is not made for this.
Macho Man was the most impressive Influences in my childhood, truly a great father figure
Sounds like they need a physical to make sure things are going well with the current wrestlers!
Okay Jack let's get the story straight..
My mom used to clean savages home... She always mentioned messes he used to leave every weekend. On his continuous cocaine parties. Yes the heart will give out on cocaine
Kinda left out Hayabusa :-( man was creator of so many high flying moves. One being the Phoenix splash
You miss Andre The Giant.He should been in here too..
Thank you for speaking kindly about Warrior
This scares the ish out of me, heart problems and it being ignored by many, we gotta check our hearts and RIP to those wrestlers who went thru it.
We all definitely need to check and take better care of our hearts. One of the reasons alot of older wrestlers died of heart issues is from the amount of steroids and drugs they all used to do back when they were in their prime (and for alot, they continued drugs after they left the business)
So sad. Had a chance to meet several of these athletes and Macho Man was the best. If interested, I honored him with a nice & respectful story about him on my channel.
Not even you're interested in listening to you.... just saying
Randy “Macho Man” Savage was a good guy in and out of the ring.
Awesome video!!
Can only imagine how big Gino would have been, 1 of the greatest Heels ever, Was great on the Mic too, Flyin Brian was great too, They all were
Very tragic stories, specially the ones of those who were victims of accidents or never quit before it was too late. One could think that the event being so physically demanding the safety regulations od real sports should apply, but Pro Wresting has avoided regulation by labeling itself entertainment.
Randy savage is still awesome to watch
Jerry "The King" Lawler said he walked by and he was blue and Owen Hart couldn't breathe, May 23 is my birthday and I was watching the PPV
Heaven got a little warmer, thanks to Latino Heat.
RIP Eddie. We miss you.
I live in Hillsborough County Florida Macho Man Randy Savage lived in Sarasota Florida it was so sad to see that happen to him and I was watching over the edge on here for you before the whole screen out when Owen Hart fell down and hit the ring post
