Most Shocking Deaths

[cnoslim]

Which wrestler(s) who sadly passed away was the most shocking to you guys and why?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

When they all came in quick succession like Bulldog, Perfect, Bossman. It was hard coming to wrestling news sites back then. It was a relief when you didn't see a notice of somebody dying.

[road doggy dogg]

Super "no-shit" obvious one but the whole Benoit thing and the events surrounding it still fucks with me

[Bad News Gertner]

The Shockmaster

Who would have thought snorting massive amounts of cocaine, popping 50 Somas a night and shooting up jars of steroids would contribute to an early death.

[Shisen Kopf]

Mae Young. She said she'd be in the wwe on her 100th birthday. Lying old hag!

I think the obvious one is Owen Hart just because it happened during the show. The Benoit one was a slow shock depending on how you were getting the news. With Owen, it was all happening while watching a fucking PPV. I remember it all just being really surreal.

Bobby Jaggers dying sent the forums into a depression in whatever year he died. RIP

[Savio]

That was a work.

[Shisen Kopf]

Was pretty upset when undertaker killed Paul bearer. So sad.

[Simple Fan]

It was Warrior for me that whole speech on Raw and then he dies it shocked the hell out of me

[Shisen Kopf]

The ultimate death

[Corndad]

Eddie was a shock. Guy was close to the top of his game when his past caught up to him. He was also the first "active" guy who had passed away in a while, since Owen from my recollection.

Warrior the day after he was on Raw was a pretty big WTF too.

[Rammsteinmad]

When Undertaker buried Paul Bearer in that Concrete Crypt Match at the Great American Bash 2004. What a bastard.

[Shisen Kopf]

When Vince Mcmahon's limo got blown up. Tragic.

[#1-norm-fan]

Let's not forget Al Wilson.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The Shockmaster

Uncle Fred is still alive but his career died that day.

[Seth82]

Shinya Hashimoto, Owen Hart, Eddie Guerrero & Mitsuharu Misawa were all shocking deaths imo.

[Rollermacka]

Road Warrior Hawk was a huge shock, he was one of my favorites growing up. Same thing with Macho Man, never thought he would die....

[Jannettyzilla]

Marty Jannetty. :(

[Bad News Gertner]

God damn it, I thought Marty was dead for real. I have him in my TPWW Death Pool.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Sorry, sometimes I forget the Barber Shop window wasn't a real murder.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Lol that Benoit death thread is hilarious at times. Just skimmed through it. People accusing Vince of killing them all because Benoit made him alter his plans for a PPV.

Like page 9 I think it was when people started accusing Vince. Didn't have time to read more of it. Probably some more funny posts throughout though.

Think I found my favourite:

Holy shit! I'm still up and looking around for more info. And on the ABCnews.com comment page, one person is even blaming Vince for this!

Has anyone even considered the fact that Chris Benoit canceled his appearance for a world title match at the pay per view at the last minute for a family emergency, which would shake the foundation of WWE's original plan to name him champion of the world?? This would totally change what Mcmahon's plan for the ppv. Then suddenly he and his family are dead???? One thing you don't do is back out on a billionaire at the last minute. Now we all see the power of money and its power over law enforcement as well as the media. Why are all wrestling chat rooms closed down and why has Mr. Mchahon not made a statement himself? We all truly believe Benoit would never do such a horrendous act. This was the works of a billionaire on a power trip who will go as far to have two people and a little boy murdered just for his publicity acts. Benoit would never do this, but we all know Mr. Mcmahon would in a heartbeat just for another 0 to be added to his bank account.

Eddie's death got me a free drink at a local bar.

So I was at this little bar in 29 Palms. I'm pretty buzzed. When I get buzzed, the slightest thing can sway my emotions. The littlest thing that would normally make me smile would make me elated, while the littlest thing that would normally make me kinda sad would reduce me to a puddle of tears.
Now I'm already feeling a little down about something. Might have been my crippling alcoholism, dunno. Well some dick decides it's a good idea to put "Hurt" by Johnny Cash on the juke box. Even sober I was getting emotional when this song played. Hell, I can't listen to that song nowadays without having to take a beat to regain my composure. So I'm sitting at the bar, trying not to cry my fucking eyes out when the bartender sees me. She refills my beer, and says it's on the house.

That's not a story I would probably feel comfortable sharing more than once.

That is sad, but in a different way than it's supposed to.

[Shisen Kopf]

Eddie Guerrero died the same day as my grandfather. True story. And thats your Shisen #KOTF fact of the day.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Eddie's death was the most shocking one to me. He was just on TV 2 days earlier in a match against Mr. Kennedy on TV and he was his usual hilarious self, seemed so alive. Eddie was always fantastic but his run from his WWE Title win in 2004 right up until his death was pretty much must-watch TV. Just a brilliant performer.

The Benoit death was shocking too of course but right from the get-go it seemed way more suspicious. WWE's press release initially was like "Chris Benoit and his family were found dead" and it was just like WTF. I don't think I got anywhere near as emotional watching his tribute on Raw that night as I did with Eddie's because something just wasn't sitting right and I was looking for answers. When the superstars were giving their testimonials I noticed a few of the guys, Regal especially, clearly knew something just wasn't adding up with how everything went down.</font>

[Sixx]

Eddie's last match was brilliant and hilarious. I loved that gimmick, too bad he didn't get to continue.

Yeah that speech gave me a sense of "well look at that, he's gonna be okay now that he got to say his real goodbye." Next thing you knew he was dead.

[Savio]

Evil Heel Tank Top Eddie Guerrero was my fav.

[cnoslim]

Just wondering would you guys be interested in a poll game like better wrestler?, but with this "most shocking deaths" scenario?.

[Emperor Smeat]

Eddie or Macho Man.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Eddie Guerrero died the same day as my grandfather. True story. And thats your Shisen #KOTF fact of the day.

So sad. I hope your grandfather got a 10-bell salute. R.I.P.

[Shisen Kopf]

No but he got a ten drink salute later that day!

[Bad News Gertner]

Easy, Ken Lucas.

[Fignuts]

Guys, I realize I am a jobber in this place....

But please...just remember that Zeeboe a.k.a. Val Venis was the one who first predicted that it was a work.

Infact, I am starting to believe more and more that this is all staged.

You'll all be laughing at yourselves later for this and for many years to come...mark my words...hell, I already am laughing at some of you.

As for you who are sickened by McMahon...I bet you'll still watch his product and really hate his guts....which is what he wants.

McMahon has figured out once again how to shock people...I wish I were related to him...I'd be so rich....


Good call, zeeboe

The death of Sandow's career has been pretty shocking. Such a cruel way to go.

I'm always shocked by the guys I forget have passed away. Saw Lance Cade on the Jericho DVD the other day and had that "Oh yeah, that guy died".

Mike Awesome is another one. Still get a little bit of that with Test. Bam Bam is another.

So was this thread just a ploy to give a reason to bring back an old Chris Benoit thread?

No man, just thought it was a interesting topic and wanted to see your guys thoughts about it.
