I was trying to find a list of all the wrestlers that I grew up watching that have died. I was born in 82 so this list is pretty close. there are a few names I never watched but still. wow

[ghettooverlord]

That's a rate of one wrestler a little over every three months.

That's f***ed up.

I was born 86. I've seen most of them. WoW. I remember like yesterday watching them. Either Im getting old or Life really is short.

I didn't know Randy Anderson died. That list is really depressing, I can't help but think how many more names will be added to that list over the next 20 years.

[The Line]

The consequences of the little to no regulation in professional wrestling and the reasons behind why not.

[OtisMaximus]

That is a huge list but I think it's important to remember that some of these were not wrestling related that there are car accidents, medical conditions and stuff like that also too for a fair number of these people.

I'd actually like to read that.

[Dr. Marzvon Zombie M.D.]

Unless i am blind you are missing David Von erich

[Throwback]

you're right. he died when he was 25. he's not there. but to my credit I simply copy amd pasted the list

[threev]

Gorilla Monsoon was far younger than I thought.

My grandma died in her 60's. While the 60's isn't ancient, and it is still below the average to die in your 60's, I don't think that those that died in their 60's are all that "wow".

[destrucity]

Von Erich died in 84
