It's sad, cause a big amount of those wrestlers were still "young", even if their wrestling career was over they would still have some good years of a "normal" life ahead...

Often the most talented individuals, in any walk of life, are those who are also the most self-destructive.
Many of these people died of old age/natural causes/genunine accidents but there are also far too many who died before their time due to substance abuse. I don't think the WWE should take the full blame for it but I think they should do everything they can do prevent/discourage it. They can do that without taking responsibility.

I'm always sad to hear of another star thats burned out to soon.
And sadly this list was a small list of wrestler that have died.
for a full list of all wrestlers that have past google "GARY WILL: Deceased Pro Wrestlers" you should get a link to a full page of all/most wrestlers that have pasted on and when.

Nice copy/paste job Schem. You never fail to give my day a bright spot.

Hey Genius incase you havnt quite noticed the articles itself its written by schem yet the list copied, and if you were smart enough you'd put 1 and 1 together and noticed you would get the SAME list if it was written.
so get it off your back whatever you got against schem because for some reason you appear jealous of some decent writing, compared to your own.

Lol. Good one Schem. In my eyes, if the list were typed out rather than copied and pasted, it would look quite different. Would there be the annoying gray background? No. Articles are to be in one's own words.

every year the list of wrestlers i knew when i was late in my teens grows with the number of deaths. this is one of the reasons i don't watch it anymore.

how many of these guys died of old age or cancer, or car accidents. how many of them were overly Obese during their career. or worked for countless other organizations beside (W)WWF(E)
so how are they to blame?

All my favorite wrestlers are gone. It is so sad. Chris Bienot, Eddie, Umaga, Test wao!
The rate of death in year 2000 is taking a geometric form. Something has to be done about it.
