104 Dead in a Decade
 

Pretty morbid stuff I know, but well worth a read. The Sun here in the UK have compiled this comprehensive list of those wrestlers who've passed away prematurely in the last decade.

Here it is:

The comments at the bottom of the page, the usual you get from wrestle-phobes, are infuriating but I suppose they're what you should expect whenever wrestling gets mainstream exposure.

Someone also said the Dynamite Kid is missing of the list, which is a bit bloody harsh.

HOLY FUCKIN' SHIT! THEY LIST MASS TRANSIT IN THIS LIST!!!!!

Dynamite Kid is dead?

Also that pic is pretty depressing how it describes Benoit and Guerrero both being dead within 3 years. Two of my fave wrestlers right there.

In fact the whole list is pretty damn sad. :(

No Mr Billington is alive and we....he's alive ok?

Man i just wasted my 9000th post on that unfunny joke

DAMN!

Yeah, sorry if it made it seem like I was saying he's dead, he isn't indeed.

I just think it's harsh that soemone seems to think he should be on the list!

List does make very, very grim reading though. I didn't even know Hercules was dead. Shocking.

Apart from Mass Transit, I have honestly not heard of any of those other indepenant guys. BTW ROFL:

Shane Shamrock (Brian Hauser) 23 1998 Murdered (actually shot legally by police during raid)

A lot of these guys probably had a cup of coffee in wrestling, and thats it

A lot of these deaths were not the fault of any wrestling group. Seriously, how could wrestling give you cancer?

piper was right in that hbo interview
