A somewhat morbid topic I know...

[LK]

But I'm just watching some of the interviews wrestlers did on news channels in regards to Benoit. Just watched an interview with Vince on the Today Show in which he mentioned that since he has owned the WWE, 5 wrestlers have died whilst under contract. Now obviously there is Eddie, Benoit, Pillman and Owen but who's the 5th?

[Xero]

Might be Russ Haas.

[BigDaddyCool]

Russ was only developmental, so maybe. Also, I think WCW has had far more many deaths.

[LK]

He did mention Benoit (suicide), Owen (accident) and the other three were down to heart failure, which I believe is how Russ Haas died so it must be him.

[BigDaddyCool]

Russ Haas's heart failure wasn't due to drugs, btw.

[LK]

That I know, same kind of thing as Pillman, wasn't it.

[Jeritron]

Andre

[LK]

Pretty sure Andre didn't work for the WWE when he died.

[ozzman6669]

Andre was retired when he died

[Hanso Amore]

Probably in the 80s....cant think of any recent ones.

[The Mackem]

The 5th is Russ Hass. Although it's a WWE development contract, it is still a WWE contract.

[Loose Cannon]

yea, it's Russ.

Andre actually appeared on WCW programming like 4 months before he died

There was a 6th WWE TV Personal that died while under contract. Referee Joey Marella in 94

[Vastardikai]

car accident, IIRC.

[hb2k]

LK - Pillman's heart attack was greatly accelerated by his long-term steroid and drug use.

[Dave Youell]

You know, 5 deaths in the 27 years he's been running the ship isn't that bad

[Xero]

What about before he took over? How many did Vince Sr. have to deal with?

[Kane86]

XERO! should be on the list.

[Afterlife]

You know, 5 deaths in the 27 years he's been running the ship isn't that bad

That's kinda what I'm thinking.

[Hanso Amore]

That's kinda what I'm thinking.

Yeah, Vince knows how to chew people up and spit them out BEFORE they die.

[Dave Youell]

Yeah, Vince knows how to chew people up and spit them out BEFORE they die.



Granted, but when you consider that there’s quite a few workers who were popping off in their 40’s it’s surprising that there’s not been more deaths when they have been under Vince’s control, heck, they weren’t even all drug related.

I mean, when you consider how many people he’s employed over the years, there would be an expectation of a higher death rate, just because of all the travelling his employees do and the high risk activity they take part in

[Zen v.W.o.]

Wasn't Crash Holly under contract?

[Juan]

No

[Xero]

I think he was under TNA contract, actually.

[Mr. JL]

Curt Hennig died while working with TNA... and Malice (The Wall for WCW fans) died a short while after working for TNA.

[Mr. JL]

There's someone else I feel like I am forgetting too.

[Gertner]

Al Wilson.

[Gertner]

The 5th could be Quick Draw Rick McGraw. He died of a heart attack after a match with Piper in 1985.

[loopydate]

Curt Hennig died while working with TNA... and Malice (The Wall for WCW fans) died a short while after working for TNA.

Chris Candido also died while he was working for TNA after the first Lockdown PPV.

Rising Disney star Selena Gomez has certainly found herself in the spotlight over the past few months. Best known for starring as Alex Russo in Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place, Gomez is not only a talented actress and singer but has a keen eye for fashion as well.Clevver TV in Beverly Hills did a spot on this incredible teen and her sense of style. Selena Gomez loves boots, including tall sleek styles and (of course) her favorite UGG boots (http://www.inugg.com/), which she claims keep her warm in the winter!Check out this video to see Selena’s UGGs (http://www.inugg.com/) as well as tons of her casual and red carpet outfits!
