A Tribute For The Wrestlers, Managers & Owners Who Died

[rtisi]

Thanks for the work you put into this.

[lepoetress]

Had no idea that Sherry was gone. I think she managed Shawn Michaels in the 80s at 1 time. I also didn't know Bam Bam Bigalow was gone ..... man, so many left under sad conditions. May they and their souls rest in peace.

[rorrt]

I wouldnt include Chris Benoit...hes a dick.

But otherwise a great list, i mean TYT did a great episode where they showed that from Wrestlemania 10 (i think it was 10). Like 7 or 8 wrestlers have since died.

Which really does show how much strain wrestling does on the human body, included with the thousands of miles of travelling between shows.

[Goel11696]

Is he seriously Dead like WHAT THE FUCK !

[gamelvr1]

@Goel11696 Care to actually say who you're referring to. That's the intelligent thing to do

[TheNumber1Alainn]

Love the video. Especially the point where it shows the picture of Mike Von Erich just as the guitar solo begins. Thanks so much for posting.

[ohcaz262]

boss man was fucking boss

[45322viking]

this is sad my fallen comrads are just fallen like a deck of cards i was at wrestlemania 7 not to many guys i worked with there are alive anymore the saddest was recently randy savage he was a good friend not only to me but my family my kids loved him and were devastated when they found out he passed on.

[richiemonsterking7]

Breaking News: "Macho Man" Randy Savage has died today in a car accident earlier this morning in Tampa, Florida. He was driving his 2009 Jeep Wrangler when he veered across a concrete median. He then went through oncoming traffic and collided head on with a tree. Savage was transported to Largo Medical center, where he died from his injuries. He wreslted in WWE and WCW and TNA briefly. He had been WWE Champ twice and WCW Champ four times. He was 58

RIP Randy Savage

(1952-2011)

[bronxboyXXX]

@richiemonsterking7 Initial reports of his death indicated that he had been killed in the collision, when in fact he and his wife had been wearing seatbelts and suffered only minor physical injuries in the crash. Later tests conducted by the Pinellas-Pasco Medical Examiner's Office revealed that Savage had suffered from an enlarged heart and advanced coronary disease and determined his official cause of death to be atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

[pazios2002]

@richiemonsterking7 my understanding is that he died from the heart attack while driving and not from the injuries, while they would have killed him otherwise.

[Realdeal232005]

@richiemonsterking7 did you see the shitlist video of Jim Cornette?

[richiemonsterking7]

@Realdeal232005 i did and it was very entertaining

[Jennaflip]

@ 3:38. that looks to be Charlie Haas who is very much alive and living in Houston TX with his wife, Tough Enough alumni Jackie Gayda

[gamelvr1]

@Jennaflip That's Russ Haas, Charlie's brother you moron

[richiemonsterking7]

Breaking News: Oliver Humperdink who manged wrestlers such as Bam Bam Bigelow, One Man Gang and "Mr Wonderful" Paul Orndorff, has passed away today... He was battleing bladder cancer.. He was a wrestling manager in WWE, Jim Crocket Promotions, FCW, and WCW in the early 1990s.. he retired in 1993..

RIP John Sutton aka Oliver Humperdink (1949-2011)

[seankid1390]

if you look down the list of all these people most of them died of some kind of heart failure... the cause is steroids.. such a shame soo many talented and young people died from those fucking things

[gamelvr1]

@seankid1390 If you're trying to say that all the heart related deaths were caused by steroids you're mistaken. Not all the heart problem deaths were caused by steroids. Eddie Guerrero is a prime example. He was a former drug addict and alcoholic (clean and sober for the final 4 years of his life). The previous years of drug abuse caused irreparable damage to his heart. Steroids weren't a factor in all those heart related deaths.

[seankid1390]

@gamelvr1

eddie guerrero also did steroids as well along with those drugs..... also it is known that long term steroid use can lead to heart failure. im not saying every wrestler who did of heart problems was cause of roids but at least 75% percent was and no one can disagree with that. especially cause all of these guys were before the wwe did drug testing....

[gamelvr1]

@seankid1390 There have been allegations that Eddie did steroids, but that's all they are. There has never been any proof that he ever did steroids. Considering that there's no evidence, just allegations, it's wrong to claim that steroids had a role.

[sinnoh2014]

the death of vince mcmahon = TV-14 wwe!!!!! cant wait. Who will rule wwe donald trump,again?

[number1hulkamaniac]

[ivenstorm]

man russ haas looks just like his brother, if it wasnt for the 2 year age difference you could almost say they were twins

[34D2234]

drugs played a big part in some of those wrestlers deaths

[elizabeth880]

[MrAmzingkid1]

[soubagh]

A salute to these legends who entertained the whole world with their skills ...... They still lives in a million hearts.... "True Heroes, lived and died and still living ..."

[Crowrocker71]

I didn't see Jake the snake Roberts.

[gamelvr1]

@Crowrocker71 That's because he isn't dead.

[richiemonsterking7]

Breaking News: Jorge "Giant" Gonzalez has passed away from complications of diabetes. Gonzalez had a run in WCW as EL Gigante, along with a run in WWE as Giant Gonzalez (including an early loss on The Undertaker's WrestleMania undefeated streak run) ,and stood a legitimate 7'6'' and weighing around the 400 pound mark. He was 44

RIP Giant Gonzalez

@richiemonsterking7 What about HayStack? Where is his tribute?

[RIPOWENJAMESHART99]

[richiemonsterking7]

Breaking News: Mike Shaw, known predominantly as Bastion Booger in WWE, Norman The Lunatic/Trucker in WCW, and Makhan Sing in Calgary Stampede Wrestling, has passed away. The cause of death was a heart attack, and he passed away yesterday. He was 53.

RIP Mike "Bastion Booger " Shaw

(1957-2010)

[PligomenosAetos]

To be honest i cried for these guys ...... so young most of them !!!!

[richiemonsterking7]

Breaking News: Luna Vachon, who wrestled in WWE, WCW and ECW for a bit, was found dead today at her mother's home. She was 48. Vachon wrestled from 1993-1994 and then returned to it in 1997-1999........

We'd like to send our condolences to her family and friends

RIP Luna Vachon

(1962-2010)

[richiemonsterking7]

Breaking News: Former WWE Star Lance Cade passed away today at his family home in San Antonio, Texas. His cause of death was heart failure. He was 29 years old

RIP Lance Cade

(1981-2010)

[Realdeal232005]

@richiemonsterking7 I met him back in 07 he was with Tervor Murdock wasn't he?

[richiemonsterking7]

@Realdeal232005 he was and how was Lance

[Realdeal232005]

@richiemonsterking7 he was cool as shit! real polite

[richiemonsterking7]

@Realdeal232005 damn.... it made me think about me meeting him one day but i can't now :(

[flamingdragon7777]

Chris Candido and Umaga can be added to this list now :(

[usacyrano]

Wow! A few of them I didn't know had died! RIP and thanks for the memories! Thanks for the post!

[Slayton1978]

What's up with the Von Erich clan? Are they cursed or something? O_O

[gamelvr1]

@Slayton1978 if they all died by accidental deaths it would make me wonder, but considering most of them committed suicide, i don't call that a curse, for the ones who committed who suicide, they did it to themselves (obviously) so no curse

[Realdeal232005]

@gamelvr1 The VE couldn't deal with the loss of their brothers!

[wfhs77]

@Slayton1978 yea all of the brothers except one is dead and all of the ones that are dead committed suicide. it's sad such a great family

[gamelvr1]

@wfhs77 not all of the brothers who are dead committed suicide, the first one that died, essentially died of food poisoning, and also they had a brother who died when he was only 7 because of accident

[Realdeal232005]

@gamelvr1 Jackie got elctrocuted as a child not food poisoning!

David debateable, Mike, Chris, and Kerry were suicide

[gamelvr1]

@Realdeal232005 i knew about jackie, i meant the first one that was involved in wrestling, i guess that happens when i'm not as specific as i usually am

[Realdeal232005]

@gamelvr1 oh ok my bad, You must have been thinking of David. My mistake bro.

[guintojabs]

who is the dude in 1:32 and 0:53

[gamelvr1]

@guintojabs 0:53 is chris candido, 1:32 is eddie guerrero, how the heck could you not know eddie guerrero. also ALL of the names are included in order in the description you idiot, so you would have saved yourself and me time, by using common sense, and would have saved yourself from looking like an idiot

[wishsamich]

Damn, dude all the greats are gone! Flair's next...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[elc1960]

And I would be totally remiss if I didn't say this: What the hell is all the anger about here? Is YouTube nation just a bunch of spoiled, petulant little kids? When you see something posted, there's always a bunch of jerks who'll jump on it like a pack of feral dogs, just to snipe at and insult someone. Nothing irks me more than to see people trash talking on YouTube. They even act like jerks on posts of old TV commercials. GROW UP, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!!

[elc1960]

I would add the following that have passed since: Lou Albano, Gene Kiniski, Umaga, Baron Mikel Scicluna, Playboy Buddy Rose, Chris Kanyon, Kinji Shibuya & John Tolos. Also Professor Toru Tanaka, who passed in 2000. Still, a nice tribute to some greats and near greats.

[richiemonsterking7]

@elc1960 and don't forget Mitsuharu Misawa, one of the best wrestlers of all time, who died in a terrible accident

[elc1960]

@richiemonsterking7 Thanks man - I forgot about him.  BTW - on a different subject, read my post about YouTube civility. I can't be the only person who's put off by the asinine behavior of so many on YouTube.

[richiemonsterking7]

@elc1960 i can totally understand what you are saying

[gamerkid199998]

@richiemonsterking7 is the renegade and untimate warrior the same person?

[richiemonsterking7]

@gamerkid199998 nope..... The Ultimate Warrior is played by Jim Hellig and while The Renegade was played by Rick Williams.... WCW just try to make a parody on the warrior and it failed miserably

[Realdeal232005]

@richiemonsterking7 Was Russ the older or younger?

[richiemonsterking7]

@Realdeal232005 Charlie, by two years..... both of them shared their birthday which was March 27th

[Wayneman117]

Whats the guys name with Chains @ his neck?

[gamelvr1]

@Wayneman117 hercules hernandez, for the record you could have just figured that out yourself by reading the description, he lists everyone in order of appearance. try using your brain next time you lazy idiot

[Wayneman117]

@gamelvr1 - yeah,it would take someone like you to punk out by calling someone names on youtube...the comfort of your PC

[gamelvr1]

@Wayneman117 it gets irritating see so many comments asking dumb questions that are easily answered by using common sense. yours fell into that category

[Wayneman117]

@gamelvr1 -I see the description now....only ting is,I JUST found out it gives you a drop down list,first time I have tried that.

[gamelvr1]

@Wayneman117 it took you that long to figure that out, what the heck did you think that double arrow button was for in the description box. you never wondered why it would cut off. sometimes. took a quick look and your page said you've had an account for 3 years. that's kind of sad that it took you that long to figure out how the description box worked.

[jgraham0987]

it's weird because this is my dad's funeral song (hercules hernandez)

[hatchetman42789]

Missing andrew "test" martain.

[robesz03]

rest in peace!

[LucidDream]

I didn't even know some of these guys died. Crazy...

[darklordojeda]

Gamelvr1 you are a fucking dick and a retard. Pretty sad that you have to be a youtube troll.

[gamelvr1]

@darklordojeda even if i were a troll, it's better to be a troll then a brainless idiot like you

[darklordojeda]

You left off Lex Luger.

[gamelvr1]

@darklordojeda luger isn't dead you retard

[KillerDreck89]

Good video, precise description.

[napolean34]

@KillerDreck89 hello Dickhead !!!!

[dezmen725]

this video makes me want to cry!.

[LucidDream]

Man, what's up with the von erich family? I never knew about them but apparently three of them committed suicide.

[LucidDream]

@LucidDream correction, 4.

[Rayla840]

@LucidDream Actually, you were right the first time. 3 committed suicide and one of them (David) died of possibly an overdose. But I think he had some health issues. Either way, it wasn't a suicide. But yeah, that family has been through hell

[LucidDream]

@Rayla840 Yeah, I never even knew about them. But it makes me wonder what their family was like.

[rock2dashy]

andre the giant is still live dud

[gamelvr1]

@rock2dashy no he's not you idiot, andre died 17 years ago

[rock2dashy]

@gamelvr1 sorry bro yur right i am a idiot xD

[cheyennewolfmoon25]

you shouldn't have put Chris Benoit on there...he deserves no respect or to bememorialized. but I do miss Eddie Guerrero..

::sniffles::

[Realdeal232005]

@cheyennewolfmoon25 you cant write a person out of history! We have to learn from it. If we don't learn from it, then were letting history repeat itsself! He didn't even know he done it.

[TheAwsome301]

@cheyennewolfmoon25 

[richiemonsterking7]

John Kronus, who was with Perry Saturn with the team called The Eliminatoors in ECW and the legendary Stu Hart who trained bunch of wrestlers like Chris Jericho, British Bulldog and Tyson Kidd

[estsoldat]

THIS IS SAD MAN !!! i WATCHED THESE GUYS FROM VINTAGE COLLECTION AND THEY ARE DEAD!!! SO MANY GOOD WRESTLERS BUT WHY? I WANT TO BE A WRESTLER TOO BUT I WOULD LIKE TO LIVE ALSO. THEY ALWAYS WILL BE IN MY HART!!

[richiemonsterking7]

Breaking News: Former WCW/WWE star Chris Kanyon has died of an apparent overdose at the age of 40. Early reports are suggesting that it was a suicide, however that has not yet been confirmed. Kanyon was believed to have been found dead in his New York City apartment earlier this morning, with a bottle of prescription medication near him. He was very open about suffering from bipolar disorder, and had talked about and threatened suicide many times in the past.

RIP Chris Kanyon

(1970-2010)

[egg64]

Makes you think that the wrestling business is poison....for the most part it is but, they're probably the most overused and durable athletes ever. Constantly used up and spit out.

[lightshanks902]

Steve Williams is Alive. hes known as Dr. Steve now on TNA. He was on it last night. Against Bluepint and Hernandez

[richiemonsterking7]

no. Dr Steve's real name is Michael Manna who did Big Stevie Cool and Stevie Richards in WWE and ECW. just to correct you

[Realdeal232005]

Dude, Steve Williams is Stone Cold's real name. Stevie Richards is Stephen Richards. Dr. Death Steve Williams is bigger that Stevie Richards.

[SLiebherr]

Steve Williams died. You are thinking of Stevie Richards.

[Realdeal232005]

I havent watch wrestling for like at least 3years, And i didnt know that Chris Benoit has passes away... And why did he suicide?

[sethdawg21]

he couldn't take it no more... the steroids got to him..

[emersonmauricio1]

benoit die because of depresion, not steroids, old wrestlers use stereoids, but the problem is mental i think....

[powerliftingmama]

he was using oher drugs

[25209098]

Maaan u didnt hear? Benoit killed his wife n kids then himself in 07.

[gamelvr1]

@AnhVanYeu3m how the fuck could you not know about that. it was INSANELY WELL PUBLCIZED. then again when a celeb (of sorts) kills his wife and son before taking his own life it is big news.
