Another missing one: Gorgeous George, he was 48 when he died. He's probably out of the memories and lifetimes of the majority of the board, but he died young as well. Great list though, it's hard to believe all of these fatalities

I think he died on the same weekend as Chris Benoit, which was very ironic considering they began their careers together as a tagteam.

Scary to think how many guys I grew up watching are dead. I can hardly watch Wrestlemania 7 now necause 11 people on that show ahve passed away.

Quite a sad list, as a bunch of my favorites are no longer with us. But, there are also guys like Verne Gagne, still around after all these years. Would Verne now be considered the elder statesman of the wrestling business as it used to be?

Not to make the list even more depressing, but it's also missing Emory Hale, who died last year.

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. Yea Like Mike Von Erich had mental issues due to medical problems
