Damn heart issues, drug overdoses, and suicides. Most of those deaths from heart problems and suicides were most likely cause by steroid overuse for years. It's really sad.

Honestly I feel for the wrestlers that actually knew all these people.

Chyna is twice the woman than any of today's so-called "Divas". Rest in peace, Joanie Laurer...

What is ridiculous is all of the overdoses and also the suicides, It is really sad because there were some awesome wrestlers in this list, some that I remember from way back in my childhood.

Let this be a lesson kids.... the human body wasn't designed to tolerate steroids and/or 300+ pound bodies.....

Thanks for putting this long list together, watched a lot of these wrestlers in the 60's & 70's, lots of good memories!!! RIP ALL...

There are so many wrestlers in this video who died from Heart attacks, suicidal, and Cancer!! May they all Rest In Peace ;( 😭💔

We miss Andre the giant

A lot of these wrestlers I used to watch when I was a kid. Roddy Piper, Earthquake, "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert, Eddie Guerrero, etc. I miss watching these guys and the more wrestlers that die, the more my childhood dies with them. 😔 Rest In Paradise to all of them.

Out of all the fallen wrestlers that have come and go, Eddie was the one who made the most impact on my life in regards to his passion, dedication, his love for the fans and with the locker room, ring skills, as well as his mic skills. If only i would have gotten a chance to meet him, but never did. I still miss him, dammit! 😢😢😭😭😭 R.I.P Eddie Guerrero Viva La Raza!

Thanks for doing this with actual good background music.

I sat down and did an interview with Junkyard Dog two weeks before he was killed. He was such a motivational speaker. The night after the show he had stayed around after we had packed up and called us into the dressing room. One by one he spoke to us as if he had known us all of our lives. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. Such a great person. RIP JYD.

Breaks my heart rip gone but never forgotten.

May all the superstars continue to wrestle in heaven. Thankyou for giving me the memories you provided when you were wrestling. God bless all the superstars and their families.Amen.

11:47 Rip My Favorite superstar Rowdy Roddy piper

RIP to All the Wrestlers on This List! That Music is Awesome.

RIP to All of These Great Wrestlers and Managers! Thanks for the Great Memories!

I think it's sad that when an athlete ruins his (her) life with drugs or alcohol there are waves of scorn, but when an actor or singer does the same thing we cry an ocean. I think Kerry von Erich's and Sherri Martel's lives were every bit as valuable as Phillip Seymour Hoffman's or Amy Winehouse's, but the public's reactions are very different. It's too bad that anyone succumbs to that poison, and I lament their passing equally.

This was very fascinating and informative, I must say that I was totally shocked by some of them. Because I didn't know that they were Dead. But what WAS most shocking to me WAS the number of suicides that occurred. This was very sad in a lot of ways. In some cases it just goes to show that money doesn't ALWAYS buy you happiness. So SAD, So Tragic. REST in peace to All of them.✝️🛐☮️💟❤️🙏.

God...that's a roster and a half!

Kinda hurts seeing all the guys & gals that entertained us as kids gone, many way too young.....Rest up guys🙏😥

So many drug deaths and heart issues. I'm in tears watching this bring me back to when I was a kid.

To me the saddest one in the video is David Von Erich. No just because he died young, and from something that could easily been prevented. But because it started a chain of events in his family that led to three of his younger brothers (also wrestlers) committing suicide.

Hawk of the Road Warriors was one of my favorite tag teams! Those Vonn Erichs had tragedy after tragedy in their family! RIP!

The Von Erichs introduced me to wrestling. Their feud with the Fabulous Freebirds was epic. I feel for that family, I can't imagine losing 5 of 6 sons. Hopefully the remaining members of the family have found peace

"I burn my candle at both ends / it will not last the night But, oh my foes and oh my friends / it makes a lovely light"

Born in 1974 and grew up watching many of these folks entertain me and my grandfather, uncles, cousins, etc. Thanks for sharing the video here. Rest in Peace to all of these individuals.

Thanks for posting👍

The pic of the chief was a good memory. So many greats, all dying to young, 40's average.

RIP..Man,A Wrestler Really Doesn't Have Much In his life rather than the fans..

Thanks for the memories. Love the background music👍🏾👍🏾

Back during my teens I had imagined myself being one of these wrestlers, the American Shepherd was going to be my ringside name. Maybe it's best that that never happened after seeing this. I wonder if I'd still be alive today.

nice song.

Sad to see 'em go. But Death never loses. RIP, Ring Warriors!

Great list. Great memories. Did not see Gene Kiniski . A champion who defeated Lou Thez in Madison Square Garden. Thanks

its sad how many people that i wrestled with in the early 2000s are gone so soon. Wrestlings hard people and the road might be worse yet. we all need more love and hugs

To update people on the wrestlers who have recently passed away we have the following: Mr. Fuji Timothy Well Jimmy Snuka Chavo Guerrero Sr. George the Animal Steele Nicole Bass Ivan Koloff Larry Sharpe Matt (Rosey) Anoa'i

I was very sad when I saw those wrestlers who passed away who used to entertain us on tv rip😢😢

The very first Wrestling match my father brought me to was in Worcester MA. at the old Mechanics Hall in the late 50's and on the card was Haystacks Calhoun. I was awestruck by his size and agility and from then on I was a FAN!!

I think that there should be some sort of investigation into the WWE - it is not normal for this many people to be dropping dead in their 30's and 40's

wrestling won't be the same without you.

RIP Brian Pillman, one of my favorite wrestlers

RIP elizabeth😤😧😧😷😷😭😭😭😭

38 of those superstars I remember. It’s sad how things end but their memories are kept alive by fans

Rest in Peace to all who have fallen.. and as for today.. rest in peace Bruno Sammartino! ♥

I remember a lot of these wrestlers from my youth. Sad to see them all gone.

Eddies death Was the saddest Moment in Wwe history

im not watching any of this video. im only here to make this comment. regardless of who died and how they died doesnt matter. lets all let em RIP. AND just be upset that they arent here anymore to entertain us or be with their families.

i miss Eddie and dusty Rhodes my favorite WWE superstar i said i love you please rip Dusty Eddie junkyard dog i love them all

I met Paul Bearer in a bar in Dallas in the late 80s. He was a real friendly guy. It's sad all this death. But it comes for us all.

Oh dear, I remember how I admired and envied guys like Davey Boy Smith or Crush for their physique, and they hardly made it past 40.

I don't want to sound mean, but many of these deaths are actually drug-related. I think that heart attacks are rare in people under 50, yet there are whole lot of them in wrestling. I believe 90% of these are from drug use or years of drug abuse wrecking their internal organs, thus bringing on the heart attack. Many of the older ones (60+) died from things which people that age die from, but with few exceptions, most died from drug related causes or suicide. Also, in the cases of Sherri and Miss Elizabeth, I heard that their overdoses were deliberate, so wouldn't that then be classified as "suicide".

So many died so young. Heart attacks in their 40's and 50's? Rest in peace Captain Lou Albano.

What’s really sad is a lot of these guys died before the age of 40

Actually, Crash Holly's death was a suicide by drug overdose. There are like 10 people on your list that committed suicide on different ways including: Eddie Graham Mike Von Erich Kerry Von Erich The Renegade Crash Holly Mike Awesome Chris Benoit Ludvig Borga Chris Kanyon Sean O'Haire

Man, i had no idea about some of these guys. this made me sad

Please do this list again, but update it with more recent people too. Same list, same music, just add the recent ones too and anyone else you may have forgotten.

This was posted 4 years ago there’s so many more that could be added to this list, we’ve lost a lot over the years. RIP to these legends.

RIP ultimate warrior though. Rest in peace

Did you know that Mr perfect was Curtis Axel's dad

I don't follow wrestling, just wanted to comment on what a clean, watchable video this was.

Suicides, heart disease and drug addiction seems to be rampant in the wrestling industry. May they all rest in peace...

Common theme here, heart related or drugs

These guys had something in common because just about all of them died of a heart attack. I think they should drug test them just like professional athletes. I believe that would stop all this death in the sport of wrestling

Amazing how young some of them were. I just turned 50, most were younger than me...wow.

Very well presented. Great photos and appropriate music. If this is ever redone, I would suggest putting their ages, next to their cause of death.

Randy "Macho Man" Savage's heart attack was a little different to many of the others. Apparently, it had nothing to do with lifestyle. I heard that it was an aortic dissection, the same thing that killed John Ritter. It is often genetic and a birth defect. It is often undiagnosed and the person is like a ticking time bomb. So Savage could have died at any time from it in all his years. He was fortunate to get to the age he did. It happened when he was driving his car with his wife. But he had the heart attack at the wheel, and died. The car crashed because it started to veer into the opposite lane, and his wife turned the wheel and drove it into a tree. So the accident didn't kill him, the heart attack did. Savage's wife was credited with saving lives by driving the car away from traffic, but couldn't save Randy, who was dead behind the wheel.

R.I.P Yokozuna How he died: Pulmonary Edema and R.I.P André The Giant we all miss these people who died R.I.P all of them

To all Wrestlers who had have passed away even thought, you still in our's heart forever.

May they all Rest in Peace! So tragic! The one that broke my heart was Chyna, she died a week after my birthday. May they all be resting in Peace in God's loving arms!

Hawk from the 'Legion of Doom' died? He was a legend...."Oooh what a ruuuussh'

Randy died in a car accident and also why are there so many suicide in here but still RIP

a quick update for this video. Balls Mahoney was recently posthumously diagnosed with CTE. It's pretty common in contact sports, multiple blows to the head leading to trauma. It can add up overtime. It's not official as of now, though.

Very good and some facts I did not know. Some of your dates are wrong.

Most wrestlers die in their 40's just like many of these did.

By the way, you can convert AT LEAST half the heart attacks and heart failures to death by drugs...

Nices top 100 but missing guys here!!

RIP BAMBAM

Rip terry bam bam gordy 23april 1961 - 16 -7-2001

RIP for all Westlers is was a great Time . The pure Goosebums

I’m not a huge wrestling fan but I did watch it once in a while. It’s so sad that many of them died so young. Overusing steroids probably contributed to their early deaths. Suicides, murders , drug overdoses. Oh boy the wrestling life isn’t an easy one. May they all Rest In Peace.

Excellent video

It's shocking to See so many of them were murderd

I miss eddie guerrero😢😢😢😭😭

It is sad to see most of these wrestlers you grow up watching gone one after another. RIP till we meet again 🙏🙏

The average life span for most of these guys in this video seems to be 40-50, that is sad, and the prevalence of heart attacks & cancer or diabetes for such young men, is undoubtedly related to steroids & obesity, plus the destructive lifestyle of wrestlers, which means non stop travelling, no sleep, constant use of pain killers, as a result of all the physical abuse their body takes on a regular basis, and add to that alcohol & drugs, and there you go, really really sad, no money in the world, is worth dying at 40 ( and the people that got rich the most from all of this, are the promoters, that never step foot in the ring.....)

R.I.P to all of the fallen WWE Raw/smackdown superstars and divas we lost do to the hands death itself we'll miss you all.

R.i.p Owen hart

What's the music????? Love it

Eddie rest in peace

Some are wrong Crash Holly died from choking on his own vomit from being drunk and bertha faye committed suicide

Ashley died recently.

Yes, this is VERY sad! Similar statistics for bodybuilders, but they don't have to endure so much Physical abuse that wrestlers endure. I often wished I had a body like Kerry Von Erick, but when I read how TRAGIC his life was, and that he was arrested many times for drugs, and finally committing SUICIDE, I just THANK GOD that I did not have to live like that! The pressure, the travel, the physical abuse, etc. God help us all. I'll be 63 in a few days, and though I probably with NEVER bench press 500 or wrestle in Madison Square Garden, I thank GOD for a good long life and for GOOD health, and plan to live ANOTHER 60 plus years. Thank you JESUS.

the real face of american entertainment

So many suicide

God bless all we have lost thank you for the wonderful memories 🙏

What's the name of this music? i tap shazam but it cannot find it

Crazy how more people have died young (under 80) from pro wrestling than they have via MMA. Fake fighting seems to be more dangerous than the real thing. Or we could just put it down to steroids and CONSTANTLY performing (always exhausted, wear and tear,etc. whereas MMA fighters fight 2-3x a year)

I miss Eddie Guerrero so much that I feel bad for Rey mysireyo and this is heartbroken
