I dunno if this has been discussed but I just watched it on WWE.com out of curiousity.. Kinda late in the interview, they start discussing wrestler who've died at a young age.. They start showing pictures of said wrestlers, with the death year, and cause of death, etc.. Anyway, they show Owen Hart and put the cause of death as "heart attack"..
![]() You would think their reserchers would do a better job than that.. Also, Vince said that since they've been in buissness, five wrestlers who were under contract have died.. Owen Hart, Pillman, Benoit, Eddie, who was the other one?? |

I'm pretty sure neither of those were still with WWE when they died (wasn't Crash actually working as a bouncer somewhere?)

Crash wasn't under contract, and I believe he was working for TNA at the time under the name Mighty Mikey. May have been Russ Haas...he had a developmental contract, but don't know if he was the one, or if Vince was just giving a rounded number. |

Only other person that springs to mind is Andre as I don't think they technically released him and he did die of heart failure

I remember Andre was still apearing at shows from time to time in late 1991 even though he didn't wrestle, and died I think in January 1993 (?) I think Freddie Blassie mentioned in his book (something along the lines of) that Vince didn't want to release the guy because 'everyone would miss the big fuck'.

Alittle research turned up that his last TV appearance was "a brief interview on WCW's Clash of the Champions 20" special that aired on TBS on Sept 2, 1992.. No way MacMahon let a contracted wrestler appear on a WCW event..
It might be Freddie Blassie because he was doing alot of on air shit around the time of his death.. Promoting his book and whatnot.. |

Pretty sure Perfect had been released. Wasn't he released because of the Plane Ride from Hell?

Also, Crash Holly was out of WWE for a while when he died. He even appeared on TNA a few times.

Yeah, I just went back to watch it again it's not up.. The One seems to think they said Davey Boy Smith not Owen died of a heart attack but I'm pretty sure it was Owen..

I just checked (I tivoed it). They had Owen's picture but Bulldog's name up. They had the right information, wrong picture.
