Is this wrestler dead. I was watching the news this morning and saw the end of a sentence on the bottom of the screen: "......th dead at the age of 39" Is this correct ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The British Bulldog?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes He's dead |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
isn't Big Daddy dead as well?...real name Shirley Crabtree...lol... And Giant Haystacks...he's dead as well I think... I'm showing my age here...;).. |
||||||||

NOOOOOOOO!!!! That really sux, he's was my favorite wrester as a child, it's makes me feel like crying. |

Isn't Ultimate Warrior dead too? I know Hulk Hogan died a long time ago. |
||||||||

I didn't think Davy Boy Smith was dead, his brother-in-law Owen Hart is. He fell to his death from an arena rooftop. Hulk Hogan isnt dead though! I used to watch WWF (as it was called), but haven't in about 3 years....it got a bit corny! Too much like a soap opera and not enough blood and guts! |

OMG!!! Davey Boy Smith (1963-2002) heart attack. Smith's titles included: 2 time WWF Eurpoean, WWF Intercontinental, WWF Hardcore, 2 time WWF Tag Team, Stampede British Commonwealth Mid-Heavyweight, 4 time Stampede International Tag Team, Stampede Wrestling World Mid-Heavyweight and 2 time Stampede North American Heavyweight. http://www.deansplanet.com/deadwrestler.html |

Yeah man, it was in the paper today |

The Hart family were one of my favourite superstars from the WWF. I actually met Brett Hart and shook hands with him (Jedi Chris' claim to fame!) ....I'm gobsmacked! BTW Jarworski, who's the guy in your pic, its been bugging me, he looks familiar |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OH NO! Tragedy always strikes the Hart family! Owen Hart died tragically, and Davey's tag team partner from the day's of old, the Dynamite Kid, had an amazing career ended prematurely. DAMN THE WORLD! I'm sad. |

Seems to be a lot of dead people in wrestling nowdays... |

Its a risky business when you keep getting smacked in the head by metal chair (or some other object).... |

Talking about wrestlers, I was watching Spiderman last night (the movie) and I thought the wrestler that Spiderman was battling against was Randy Savage - not sure though! Could've been, so many wrestlers seem to be in films lately. For example The Rock, and both Hulk Hogan and the Undertaker have been in films...(crap films, but nevertheless...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, the Macho Man is in Spiderman! I hope he comes back to the WWE. Randy Savage is one of the greats. |
||||||||
|

When I was living in Colchester the Bushwackas were at some local dingy community hall. How the mighty have fallen. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Macho man Randy Savage was so, so much better than Hulk Hogan! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

They were just fools! |

Shawn Michaels and Diesel were great favourites of mine. I used to like the way Shawn Michaels would refuse to fight matches with certain contenders, because he didn't think they were worthy enough of the title. The pair of them used to do a 'sketch' on the show called 'The Heartbreak Hotel' were they'd invite other wrestlers on stage, and just ridicule them!! Great stuff - anyone remember it? It's gotta be about 1995ish! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wasn't he the blonde dude in the Rockers? They had class A mullets. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah...Shawn Michaels carried that tag team...Marty Jannitty was a grade 'A' jerk! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Shawn Michaels is one of the most talented wrestlers ever, his Iron Man match at Wrestlemania 12 with Bret Hart was amazing... Shit, it's just sinking in that Davey Boy's dead, fucking hell! Depressing! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think that the WWF is as good as it once was, with the likes of Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart |
||||||||
|

I came home from work today, and phoned my cousin, and said "Did you know that the British Bulldog was dead?" . . he too was shocked! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you remember 'ravishing' rick rude - he died of a heart attack...jake the snake is a crack addict (watch "beyond the mat") and dino bravo is dead also |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Rick Rude wasn't 39 years old though was he? He was about 55! Jake the Snake is well famous/infamous for his drug problem - I'm actually surprised he isn't dead! (Or is he???) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Brian Pillman died of an overdose didn't he? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dino Bravo got killed by the Mob or something, they broke into his house and blew to bits with a shotgun. Junkyard Dog got killed driving home from his daughter's graduation last year or so. :-( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
rick rude was only 41. the real tragedy of wrestling is the doomed von erich family (remember the texas tornado?? shot himself aged 33) they all either killed themselves or died of overdoses - the youngest killed himself at 21 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So sad! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, I know... the Von Erichs... brother after brother suffering tragic deaths... the first died at the age of 5 or something, electrocuted in a storm... God doesn't like wrestlers, apparently. |
||||||||

Being put through a table can't be a healthy living can it? I know its all fake, but some of that stuff has gotta hurt! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you seen some of the crazy shit that shane mcmahon did? like that huge jump down on big show? that was pretty insane |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I know - asking for trouble! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Ladder matches were allways fun! |

The WWF peaked in 1992, it's all been downhill from there... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i haven't seen spider-man yet, but isn't bruce campbell the ring announcer? so are the dynamite kid and ultimate warrior really dead as well? r.i.p. british bulldog |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There were actually three different people who portraided the Ultimate Warrior, and one of them died of a drug overdose |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There was the early one, then the most famous one who everyone loved (who died of the drug overdose), then the crappy imposter who returned to help Hogan at the Sid Justic match |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Actually, the Ultimate Warrior thing is an urban legend. Jim Hellwig has ALWAYS been the Ultimate Warrior. Right from when he teamed with Sting pre--WWF to when he was with WCW. He's still alive... but he's clinically insane, or something... he changed his name, legally, to ''Warrior'' :-/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Are you sure? I know AT LEAST the warrior who returned and bailed Hulk out at Wrestlemania (VII was it?) was a different person. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think that happened at WM8, from Sid Justice. I haven't watched that in years... but I'm sure it's the same guy as it's always been. I think he wasn't as buff or something, so he might have looked different... they were cracking down on steroids at the time. And I'm pretty sure he WAS on them. ;-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
One urban legend I've heard about him is that those crazy armbands he was wearing cut off the circulation in his arms, and he died of a blood clot after a match. 0_o |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, it was on JUST that occasion, the body was the same, but he looked completely different... afterwords it went back to the same guy, but watch that match again.... you'll see |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Seriously??!!? Now I really want to watch that Wrestlemania. Plus it's got that awesome Savage/Flair match, so I think I'll rent it. But I think you're full of shit! :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ohhhhhhhh you just wait ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
While your at it you should rent Royal Rumble 1992, that was the best WWF event ever imo |
