This is so heartbreaking. I grew up watching wrestling. It was literally my only escape from my extremely abusive stepdad. I was never allowed to go out and do anything, except for school. I was basically a prisoner in my house..my only escape from reality was watching wrestling. I was constantly made fun of for loving something that was "fake", but i didnt care. Its so emotional when ur favorite wrestlers either die or retire, cuz they became a huge part of ur life 💙
Adrian Adonis was a standout both solo and in tag teams (most notably with Jesse Ventura). He drowned after a car he was a passenger in drove into a canal. He was 35.
Roids, drugs and alcohol will eventually get you. Sometimes sooner than you expect. Several suicides in there, too. Such is the price for fame and fortune.
One of the best Saturday afternoons I've ever spent was in 1987 watching Bruiser Brody & Abdullah The Butcher in a No Disqualification Match on TV from Puerto Rico.
Alright alright alright you got Chicago Illinois interested 0:40 o my, i love 💕 that music. 40 seconds in i realize im watching the video of a great one, alright congratulations 👏🏿🎉 you have earned yourself a subscriber ✍🏿 chicago il salutes you
I'm surprised the Canadian crippler got a mention in this but it's tragic how many of these wrestlers who passed away died from drug overdoses and suicide related deaths may they all rest in eternal peace
You know it is hard to feel bad for people who kill themselves through addiction. Sorry it just is. Also how many of these heart attacks were actually caused by steroids and the accumulative effects of addiction? There is no one on the planet that doesn’t know drugs will kill you.. there are also very few that doesn’t understand drinking and drugs will kill you… I am sad that folks kill themselves like this but I am not very understanding… stupidity wins every time..
Why do so many of them die from heart attacks? I know most people will say steroids but I don't think that's the main reason, if a reason at all for many of them because most bodybuilders from Arnold's era lived long and healthy lives as they were eating healthy and only did low doses of a few different steroids. And yes, many of today's bodybuilders die of heart issues but that's because they gain an awful lot of weight during the off season while they eat huge amounts of unhealthy food and use huge amounts of many steroids in very high doses for most of the year, every year, combined with also using HGH and insulin. I'm digressing but my point is, is that I think saying many wrestlers from the past that died from heart issues died because of steroid use is an easy and incorrect answer. So *IF* it wasn't steroid use that was the main cause of death for many of their heart related deaths, what was the cause?
How in the heck do you NOT say anything extra about some of them????? Especially Rowdy Roddy Piper!!!!!!!!!!! Road Warrior Hawk???????? And others?????
As I read through the comments left on this video. There are few people who miss Bray Wyatt . I get the fact that he was an okay midcard talent and his own vision. None of his gimmicks/ characters never got over except with the social media generation fans. Example: Husky Harris = Fail, Bray Wyatt original = 1/2 fail, Fiend = 1/2 fail. The only thing Bray Wyatt was a rip-off merged version of Raven and Waylon Mercy characters. It is almost like L.A. Knight is a merged version of Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock. Bray Wyatt, aka Windham Rotunda, would still be here today had he ahered to his doctor's direction. He went to the doctor the day he passed. The doctor told him that he needed to use an external defibrillator when sleeping. But Bray Wyatt decided NOT to ahere to the direction. He left the defibrillator in his vehicle and then chose to take a nap. So Wyndham Rotunda, aka Bray Wyatt sorta caused his own death.
Im surprised not to Scott Hall aka Razor Ramon, mean Jean Oakland, Paul Barrer, Crash Holly, David Flair not be on this list they made their marks in the wrestling industry
@apexchampionshipwres I will say this I was living in Florida when I heard the news about Randy Savage, but I decided for myself not to get interested in watching wrestling anymore.....
I don't know what anyone else thinks. But, I think Owen Hart was murdered. He told Vince McMahon that he was scared of heights and that that cable was unsecure...... And, Vince in turn told Owen, If he didn't do what he was told, He would be looking for a new job tomorrow. Good going there, Vince!
Shad died a true hero giving up his life so his son could live
No offense, but Randy Savage died in a car crash in Miami Florida. Heart failure while driving.
So many heart attacks and suicides 😢😢
Still miss Bray Wyatt. No one will ever come close to him
This is so heartbreaking. I grew up watching wrestling. It was literally my only escape from my extremely abusive stepdad. I was never allowed to go out and do anything, except for school. I was basically a prisoner in my house..my only escape from reality was watching wrestling. I was constantly made fun of for loving something that was "fake", but i didnt care.

Still heartbroken over a Brother in Christ, Bray Wyatt. Rest in His Kingdom, my Brother!!
What makes this so sad,they died so young 😔
Crazy, I grew up watching most of these guys and now I outlived them
WWE don’t talk about Chris Benoit anymore
R.I.P Eddie Long Live Latino Heat Even If Your No Longer With Us Your Spirit Lives On In Our Hearts.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊🕊❤️❤️
I don't think I've ever heard a bad word about Owen Hart...
I actually seen when Owen Hart died on TV I was so scared
R.I.P. Legends 🙏
Those who have died in the wwe may God rest their soul's
Adrian Adonis was a standout both solo and in tag teams (most notably with Jesse Ventura). He drowned after a car he was a passenger in drove into a canal. He was 35.
Rest in peace Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper AKA Brodie Lee
Forgot Jimmy snuka
And somehow Vince is turning 79 this week.
Bray wyatts death still makes me cry 😢
I still can’t believe Bray Wyatt is gone, he was the same age as my mom too may the legend rest in peace
Owen Hart died on the same day my great grandmother died but he died in 1999 and she died in 2020
WWF Referee Joe Marella, Pass Away due to Car Automobile Accident in 1994. True Fact.👍
All these wrestlers were my hero while growing up they all are missed😊
Heart attack and drug overdose is what kills them the most. Heart attack is because of steroids?
Andre died of a broken heart 💔 😢
Rip to all of them

Makes you think about how quick mortality fades. Live better, stay strong. ❤
So many missing, one of my favorites, Leon White (Vader), rest easy big man.
Shad is a true champion RIP CHAMP 💔😢😢💔
May they all RIP and thank you all for their contributes to the sport of wrestling
Too many heart problems
The majority were suicides heart attacks overdoses
Alright alright alright you got Chicago Illinois interested 0:40 o my, i love 💕 that music. 40 seconds in i realize im watching the video of a great one, alright congratulations 👏🏿🎉 you have earned yourself a subscriber ✍🏿 chicago il salutes you
Video is well made but kinda sad that you didnt elaborate on Umagas story what a legendary run he had
Eddie is my heart❤️🔥I love and miss him so much ❣️👑❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥he was the best! My no. 1 forever❤️🔥
Lots of WWE Superstars died from heart diseases some died from overdoses and last but not least some had died from suicides
Too many of them passed away at a young age.
What's this epic song called from who??
Still remember back when i watched Chyna and always wondered how a woman could lift such big guys
Viva Eddie, may you rest in peace single-handedly the greatest wrestler of the ruthless aggression era
Had no idea Roddy Pipper had died.
I'm surprised the Canadian crippler got a mention in this but it's tragic how many of these wrestlers who passed away died from drug overdoses and suicide related deaths may they all rest in eternal peace
Which Doink the Clown? There were three who played the "character" at different times.
When my sister told me Bray Wyatt died I thought it was a hoax until I realized that it was true😭😭😭😭
John Tenta deserves to be in the HOF!
...now that i think about it... Bray wyatt is the same age as my older sister. Only 3 years older than me. Damn...
You all are deeply missed and will never be forgotten ❤💪❤💯💪❤💯
At least I don't feel as bad dying in my 30s. Heart attack seems to be pretty common for men in their 30s. Or something to do with the heart 😢
Great Tribute❤
Mostly heart attack 😢
I'm pretty sure Bray Wyatt died because he had covid. And because of covid, he had that heart attack that was a pretty bad one.
Bruiser Brody was real thing...Goldberg use much of his moves to finish opponents .
You know it is hard to feel bad for people who kill themselves through addiction. Sorry it just is.
Also how many of these heart attacks were actually caused by steroids and the accumulative effects of addiction?
There is no one on the planet that doesn’t know drugs will kill you.. there are also very few that doesn’t understand drinking and drugs will kill you…
I am sad that folks kill themselves like this but I am not very understanding… stupidity wins every time..
Still sad that a superstar in 1995 died rip Brian pillman aka flying brian
For heart attack read steroid abuse,RIP all.
I had the pleasure of meeting Rowdy Roddy Piper some years ago. Really nice guy.
I loved me some test!!!!!!!! Oh man. The one that really got to me though was Chris Benoit 😢😮
14:58 The Sound Effect 😂
Also, I'm very sad that these wrestling legends [You list your favorites] died!! 😭
My sister loved wrestling, back when it was real especially Bo Bo Brasil
WHATS THE NAME OF THE MUSIC ????

R.I.P.

Mike and David Von Erich were never wwe they were world class
British bulldog died too
Frog splash for Life
Bray Wyatt rip
Art Barr was Beetlejuice
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤RIP ALL🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
They people died so young because of use more medication and steroid
some didn't last long
Rip shad
Heart failure is from a lasy coroner. Everybody going through a heart failure Prior to death. The cause of death is the reason for the heart failure.

It's safe to say it doesn't pay to be a wrestler. When Vince McMahon calls to cash in your contract. Your time is up.
Rip🙏🙏🙏
😢
58 years is not young to me
Good that you didn’t say anything about Chris Benoit. As decorated as he was, he doesn’t deserve to be memorialized after what he did.
Neither does Jimmy Snuka. He should get the same treatment as Benoit as what he did is almost as heinous.
RIP Chris Benoit
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Iamhealing #thankYouAllah
May Allah bless all of these wrestlers souls
Covid
Wore the dress. That's sus
