Wrestlers deaths that still echo – The wrestling industry has been rocked by the premature deaths of many high profile people over the years. We could list so many different important performers, like Umaga, Curt Henning, Sherri Martel Paul Bearer, Crash Holly, Mike Awesome and Bam Bam Bigelow, who’ve died too soon. Unfortunately, the high numbers of wrestler funerals at times have led to a level of indifference.

Nelson Frazier Jr. died after working for the WWE off and on between 1993 and 2008, as Mabel, King Mabel, Viscera and Big Daddy V, and few people batted an eye. Even the lawsuit his widow hit the company with has resulted in little fanfare or attention. That isn’t always the case, however. Some deaths seemed to rock the WWE and its employees to their core.
10. Owen Hart
A storied prankster who loved his family more than anything in the world, memories of Owen brings smiles to the faces of nearly anyone who knew or watched him. A member of the Hart Family, alongside The British Bulldog who we also considered including on our list, Owen’s feud with his brother Bret was one of the best ever, let alone the early nineties. If his career in the WWE took place before your time, all you have to do is go back and watch his antics after he won two Slammy Awards to understand what made him so delightful.
Then one night, something went horribly wrong. Set to make an incredible entrance from the rafters, the gear that held him in place released and he fell in front of an arena of fans, which led to his death. The fact that the event continued was highly controversial but Vince and his higher ups couldn’t have possibly seen what happened coming made their situation impossible. Other wrestlers have died while under contract with the company but Owen Hart, the popular and hilarious Owen Hart, is the only man to die as a direct result of his employment by them. They continue to celebrate him to this day, despite his widow’s best efforts, because he was great and his death changed the company forever.
