    Wow, so many legends, such a tragedy. You should be commended for composing such a list as it must have took some time to do. I for one would like to thank you because some of these are news to me. Good job, starred, most def.

    Your question- you know how the media is. They find something they want to attack(i.e pro wrestling) and wait....wait for one opportunity to strike and the Benoit was that one incident. So they basicly found all the dirt that they could and used it as ammo for the press to attack the WWE. They do this with everything that isnt completely socialy accepted and G rated. It really makes me sad for the news. And this is why I dont watch the news.

    This was a fantastic question and thank you for the list

    Just read in a magazine at the barbershop that 63 wrestlers have died of unnatural causes between 1983 and 2003 apparently this gives wrestlers a much higher rate of unnatural death than the general public and even far more than other contact sports such as football but I dont remember what the rate was noted as.

    wow what a list

    but WWE shouldnt be responsible for deaths of wrestlers where they did drugs themselves

    its a choice for wrestlers to take steroids , wwe doesnt make them

    but still something has to be done
