12 Wrestler Deaths WWE Ignored 

Was thinkin the same thang ✌

Video is monetized so it’s distasteful.

@@ItzTruthHurts Ah, I didn’t realize it, I went straight to the comments to comment what I had to comment. Hopefully they remove it.

Respect to all these men, R•I•P.

@@heelgill The sarcasm drips from your words so eloquently. So wry, yet so subtle while so humouress. I salute you.

just like his Yokozuna was always a gentle person in the ring.

@@0fficialdregs Yeah I just rewatched his (Umaga) match with Maria. He was keeping a close eye on her after he delivered a Samoan Drop. He was making sure that she was still ok when he’s about to do the Running Butt safely. I might also add props to Maria for taking sick bumps like that.

@@giantswingallday7001 agreed. even cornette said Yoko went for his drop, when he came down and hit jim's chest, he said it was like touching a mattress

@@0fficialdregs who knew that a tattooed brute can be a gentle giant in the ring. He had a good run.

@@giantswingallday7001 exactly and was a good friend to cornette too. They are deeply missed

Fan's will never forget star's we all admired like Doink the Clown & Umaga with their drug related deaths sadly

Hard to say if some of them were "ignored" or if their deaths just slipped under the WWE's radar. It's a 24/7 business with no off-season, and it's not like they wake up everyday and check to see if anyone in the wrestling world has died. If it's a lesser name, then the news of there death isn't even going to make most news outlets. That said, they should have definitely known about a few of these guys and given them the proper sendoff.

TEST DIED bro i’m late i didn’t know😢

@@vibinwithvon9294 me too bro i didn't know, Rest In Heaven to the Man, he was a legend, and deserve to be in HOF.

@@marloaleman9539 umaga was terrible

The Anoa'i family. He was even a distant relative of The Rock.

He was a pretty good wrestler too.Too bad drugs took his life.

I think too that Vince was trying to make up for what happen to Yokozuna.

@@lonniehowell9593A damn shame indeed.

So yoka was not a Asian.. in fact from the legendary sumo bloodline.. I’m 34 and still love learning facts About the era of wrestling I grew up on…..

It’s crazy to think that someone as all American 🇺🇸 good looking and in shape as Test was a drug addict. Addiction doesn’t discriminate. RIP. Never understood why the company disassociate Andrew, he was very popular wrestler when i was a kid

@@donttalktomeyoureannoying8736 agreed 100% addiction is invisible and hits everyone in different ways. I miss him to this day, he actually was from a town not too far from mine in Ontario Canada. I miss him, he was a very kind man at least with me and my family. I remember a lot of good times seeing him at my father's gym.

Not denying he was but there's a laundry list of wrestlers who said he was one of the worst people they've worked with.

Yeahhh I call 🧢

@@Lewise512 why would I lie about something like that?! You have 0 idea of who I am or who my family knows but okay bud 👌

i remember seein him live in 07 before he died

Mmmmmmmmmm ye

Love his finisher with the taped up thumb.

According to Vince he didn't because the fans know the reason he was released and he died from that..

One of my favorite wrestlers as a kid

Most definitely.😥

It’s a shame that the wrestlers who passed are being ignored by a business they wanted to be apart of since childhood or just later in life.

@@heelgill fr The WWE didn’t even care about them at all. They just care about the money

@@Itsmwahh let's boycott WWE

Wwe should do better, whether Unknown wrestlers or top dogs, respect the fact these wrestlers chose to wrestle in wwe

it was obvious even at the time that he would never reach the main event just so he wouldnt look good again therefore Steph wouldnt have a change of heart or something.......the more i watch wrestling stuff lke that the more i see the insecurity is running rampant in the WWE

I didn't know Test passed. I liked his character. And yeah, he had the gravel to be title card. 🎉

@@bold810 Same, was a shock to me now hearing that he died.

Test was great. Very underrated.

I mean…tony wasn’t a good man. Had the SS symbol tattooed on his body. Was a bigot towards gay people, even made songs and writings about it Joined the far right political group of his country. And then almost killed his wife…apparently multiple times.

hey

A human business would acknowledge all workers whether top tier or less known, wwe isn't a human business

Not gonna lie, I had completely forgotten about Kanyon. I wonder if his struggles out of the ring, his depression and later his subsequent suicide, was a result of how Vince and the WWE as a whole treated him and the other WCW talent. Could explain why the company only acknowledged it through a little blurb on their website instead of on tv. Like the video said, Kanyon had the wrestling chops and was making moves in WCW prior to the merger. Then the McMahons purchased WCW from Ted Turner and pretty much every one of the WCW wrestlers got screwed over, except Booker T. Who was willing to stand up for his character’s sake. I’m glad Sting didn’t make the switch after the acquisition, because I’d have hated seeing the WWE treat Steve Borden’s persona like crap. Sting has said he doesn’t regret not making the jump, because he was fearful McMahon would have done just that. DDP has even said he wished he had walked away with his guaranteed contract through WCW instead of being involved in the invasion. Vince and the WWF did a lot of damage to the careers of a lot of former WCW wrestlers after they bought WCW. Whether on purpose, by thinking they know all, or a combination of both, the WWF/WWE pissed all over the careers of a number of talented WCW wrestlers with how they handled those characters during the invasion. Jericho was lucky he decided to jump ship after his WCW contract was up long before WCW was sold to the McMahons. I’d hate to think what might have been had he joined the WWE after the WCW acquisition and he had been a part of the invasion angle. The Ayatollah of Rock-n-Rolla might never have been what he became. Joining when and how he did allowed him a lot more freedom than what the former WCW wrestlers got when the invasion angle took place.

Doink the clown especially

God bless you your a good man

@@bradmyers5354 he was gay

@@SmegulonPrime yes ,and?

hey

That's what it means to spend time and life to a job, wwe should acknowledge everyone as their workers

@@JustinCarbaugh hey

@@EnergeticSpark63 👋

The old OC food court he was demolishing NYF

Your parents are rich?

😪

@@kylein9869 bro ...... what an ignorant comment

@@raytorres5830 it's not often someone lives across the street from a celebrity, that's why I asked

God, 🙏 YEesWWE

No joke, as a kid I thought they got Xena and I was so stoked😂 Chyna was and still is my fave. She was so cool❤

This seriously made my whole day. Those were my childhood heros

Fr that’s awesome

you painted the story very well too that is amazing for some that would be like if a movie wrapped up and all the stars decided to go to a restaurant randomly to celebrate and a big fan sees them there

@@chrisa8283 it was a highlight of my young life. Not a single one of the two dozen wrestlers I talked to that day made me feel like a pest or that I was bothering them. For the most part, I was the only person who approached any of them in the airport. But out of all of them, Hercules was the absolute coolest. Meeting him was like meeting a comic book hero. He wasn't really real to me until I met him and shook his hand. He signed my shirt, Roddy Piper signed my shirt, Kerry Von Erich signed my shirt, Junkyard Dog, The Dragon,.... I had 2 dozen autographs on my shirt of all of my wrestling heroes. Unfortunately, that was before camera phones.

My dad once called out piper for the fact he wasn’t even Scottish

I subbed bro

@@awesomeheat2569 ok

Yes you all deserve a better motivation

@@awesomeheat2569 unsub from him he obviously doesn’t care about you.

@@undisputed4821 whats your problem

Rip

Billy Jack Haynes against the Mighty Hercules at wrestlemania, bobby the brain Heenan in Hercules corner, good match and ending.

If i remember, they did mention the passing of Dynamite Kid and Jack Tunney in small thumbnail articles in WWE Magazine back in the 1990s, that much i remember.

thank you ♥️

Just to say, you people that make these timed table of contents on RU-vid are the biggest mvps out there. All the best to you and your kind. You do a important thing lol

Rest In Peace to all those forgotten the wwe may have forgotten them but we never will

An that’s the weird thing I think it’s more too it

While you are trying to make a company look bad over people’s death, Did you ever think of maybe they didn’t from the way they died ?

Watch the film The Wrestler and you'll understand. It's not always the life that kills these guys, it's having to give up the life.

Wait what sean ohaire is dead

@@hittingthegspot sadly yes

Test was limited in the ring and definitely way way behind on the mic, he was crazy lucky to have had the push he had.

Hell yeah

Seems unlikely now, considering...you know

I completely forgot about her

She was mentioned. Watch the beginning of MITB 2019

She died? Wow

remember when she really gave out her legit phone number lol

They never mentioned Chyna

Vince doesn't care about wrestling. He only cares about every thin penny that he can squeeze out of wrestling.

That's very ignorant to say given wrestling lives on mostly because of his influence.

@@heyzeushoards1405 Wrestling was destroyed owing to McMahon. He purchased the territories. We would still have the NWA, if we still had the territories that comprised it - but McMahon bought them, nearly all. The WWE is single handedly responsible for the destruction of wrestling, because as their ratings went down, so did the entire product. If everyone figured out that the UFC was a work, it would be destroyed too.

WWE is a fuckin disgrace to wrestling

@Scott Robinson no, he's not. McMahon is responsible for nearly destroying the entire industry, and it only exists today in spite of him, not because of him.

They both died of drug overdoses. WWE did not want to bring attention to that.

Others also died because of Drugs and they still didn't ignore it... Especially when Umaga died, I was surprised that WWE didn't do anything. Wwe and Umagas family go way back and have so much history together.

Umaga died? Whatttt

@@Sirkuru Yeah a long time ago, in like 2008

@@Sirkuru He died on December 4, 2009

Umaga, as stated in the video, was definitely the biggest recent star (probably along with R-Truth) to never win the title. It wasn't like he was someone who was barely on TV but he was a legit star so it's mind blowing why they never mentioned his passing on TV

I just saw him on an old rerun of Baywatch! 🤣

@@RobertEDelGuidice1969 yeah. He was Manny the gentle giant.

Wow I didn't know that he was that young when he faced Taker

@@davidkosiba624 he’s younger than the undertaker himself

I think they did idk I remember hearing something about that

No R.I.P. for atheist.

Umaga and Test had so much potential. Hate that they kept their talent hidden

Uuuuuuumagaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Me too

@@timothyvanhorn909 If there is a God I'm sure those who will go to heaven will be the ones who put more good into the world, not people like you who make such disgusting comments about people who have didn't have the same beliefs as you.

Was Doink Eugene?

@@Samuelfish2k nah. Doink once teamed up with Eugene and Kane in a tag team match.

@@ParticleBomb Doing was Matt Borne then, right? Didn’t Matt Borne aka Doink have a match in Wrestlemania 1? I’m getting weird memories about all this.

@@Samuelfish2k No Matt Osborne was Doink "The Clown" as heel Doink

@@Samuelfish2k he did yes

Great call I used to love the position b4 general manager title

@2:09 .....

@@NeeNee3210 he meant no mention by the WWE

Heck to add insult to injury, NO ONE went to his funeral

@@justinterry7853 I wonder what the falling out was about. Must have been pretty major.

I agree. They still left their mark.

They don’t acknowledge them as it makes their industry/company look bad as if it drives them to drugs. Welcome to life in a capitalist’s world !! Same why sports companies don’t talk about the bankruptcies and divorces of its stars.

It was my birthday on that day, so I always remember the 2 events WWF-wise, Pillman's death and Kane's debut.

@Jarrett Powers You favour a stupid number over 12 deaths. Disgusting.

@@HeartsGloriusHearts ikr it's messed up how he or she hurt cares if it's about 69

@Jarrett Powers 🤡

@Jarrett Powers so you got a vigigi and a ding dong

They thought enough of Viscera to keep bringing him back despite those cases.

Another big man that was real slow in the ring.A few of the these guys were just tragic.Period.

I'm a Sean O'haire mark and I 100% agree

i always thought they let him go because his swanton bomb made jeff hardy look like a child. compare the both of them. rip, brother.

They probably don't because they're use the character every now and then and it'll ruin it if they reveal the death of the original.

@@convictionnotice1 it’s still not right though.

I subscribed and hit the notification bell😀😃😄😍

I loved watching Umaga when I was growing up will admit I was scared of him tho lmao

DAMN BRO SAME HERE i always thought he died from cancer but not this smfh rip

And Jack Tunney

Chyna?

@@GalenMarek1988 they did a thing for her, I'm pretty sure. These are the ones they didn't acknowledge

@@garyhall7867 yeah, they also did a thing for Benoit initially but then pulled it once the circumstances of the deaths came out.

@@GalenMarek1988 yeah, what a shitshow that ended up being

Doesnt deserve to be in it to begin with

@@radbradmusicartist why? Owen was probably better than Brett.

@@captainenaad9579 Well not really better than bret but he was very close in the talent perspective

@@captainenaad9579 first of all spell his frickin' name right🙄..secondly no..not better than bret..amazing talent yes, and severely underappreciated(by management)..but not better than bret😎

@@radbradmusicartist I ain't bothering to say nothing massive, your evil & your lack of respect is absolutely disgusting

Same here man RIP

Crash went through one of my coworker’s closets when he was a kid because he was looking to buy the house

Same here.

Same

Pfp is crazy 😂

Yes because all anthology series should do so.. right?

I understand not remembering Ludvig Borga, he was there for brief time and lived over 10 years before dying so there wasnt much of a connection to him and the show.

Yes and his feud with Bobby Lashley and Cena also

I loved his stupid Mortis gimmick character in WCW. It was a cool look and had cool moves and style.

Badda Bing Badda Boom Badda Bam! Jersey Triad were actually entertaining! Kanyon got buried after the WCW buyout. Damned shame. He could work in the ring and on the mic. Sad that him and Bigelow were both dead so young.

@@Fektthis Don't compare Kanyon to Bam Bam...Chris like Sean O Hairs didn't accepted people offered to help him...like DDP said some people were self destruct...as for Umaga...for Test I don't think so..

@@user-ns7tv2li1u don't compare them both dying young? that's literally all I said and it's a shame and it's also accurate. I'm not here to dig up whatever got them to that point. It's in poor taste to speak ill of the dead. It's a damned shame that anyone dies at that age no matter what drives them to it.

@@Fektthis Its so sad but it is a fact in wrestling... Don't forget we had Luke Harper recently...

Don't forget he made the Elroy Jetson part of his character... Great creativity...

Elroy from the Jetsons cartoon? Lol. I don't get it

And now New Jack is himself pushing angels off scaffolds with murderous intent... =/
