WRESTLERS WHO HAVE DIED

A few I didn't know had passed. Many we less than 50 years old, a lot under 40.

Didnt know the Fabulous Moolah was dead. I thought she was alive.

The use and abuse of pain pills and illegal drugs was at such levels in wrestling, especially in the 80s and early 90s, that all other major sports combined would have been shocked.

Long before there was a Mitchell Report, the feds tried to send Vince McMahon to prison for steroid distribution.

Awww man, I didn't know Mad Dog had passed...

Anything to get to the top I guess. Wonder how all the hulkamanic kids who said their prayers and took their vitamins feel about Hogan these days?

Very sad, a lot of former wrestlers on that list I didn't know were dead. Sad how young many of them were at death. Hopefully things change. RIP

I swore I justbsaw classy Freddie on the Legends House promo. Guess not.

 

[OregonDucks]

and some of the ones that are still alive are walking dead.

Scott Hall
Jake The Snake

These are guys who have hit rock bottom and I am amazed they are still alive. It's absolutely amazing what these guys put their bodies through.

when I was sick of WWE fluff with the pink tights, I followed what led to the WCCW down in texas and the Von Ericks were huge stars and all died young, three from suicide.

It says that Kerrys daughter Lacey was in TNA, part of the beautiful people, and former tag champ, she is already retired. Marshall and Ross are Kevins sons in the business.
