I am not going to catagorize one persons death over another. They all sucked their own way and were hard to accept in their own way.
One person's death is not harder than another in most cases. I will say this, they all were unfortunate. If I had to choose though I would not mourn the loss of a wrestler I've never met over my own family. My heart goes out to their familys for the one's they've lost. At the end of the day though, my family and the people I've lost on a personal level will always out weight those whom I did not know.

I watched Raw is Owen a week ago and I cried. And this is coming from a bloke who didn't really watch wrestling when Owen passed away.

In no order of significance: Davey Boy Smith "The British Bulldog"- one of my ALL time favorites. I grew up watching him from his days with Dynamite to his IC run, heel tag title run with Owen to his European title run and his last run with WWE in the early 2000's. One of the greatest talents wrestling ever had. R.I.P. Owen Hart "The Rocket"/"Black Hart"- from his days with High Energy with Koko, to his feud with Bret and eventual reformation of the Hart Foundation, Owen was special. A truly gifted athlete who I think certainly could have carried the WWE title. I remember watching the PPV where he tragically passed away. R.I.P. Curt Henning "Mr Perfect"- one of the top 5 greatest technical wrestlers to ever step inside the ring, Henning was perfection. Great mic skills, charisma, and athletic ability he had it all. His matches with Bret and Summerslam and King of the Ring are some of my favorites of all time. I remember him re-debuting at the Royal Rumble not too long ago and marking out. R.I.P. Hawk from "The Legion of Doom"- Hawk was half of the greatest tag team in wrestling history. A rough and tough no nonsense kind of guy, he was almost intimidating as Animal was. Unfortunately his demons got the best of him. R.I.P. Rodney Agatupu Anoa'i "Yokozuna"- like the wrestlers mentioned above I grew up watching the mighty Yokozuna. His '93 Royal Rumble win sent him on a ride to the top. A truly gifted athlete for a large man, Yoko always kept a great pace and had so many memorable matches. R.I.P. John Tenta "Earthquake"- another large athlete who was extremely skilled in the ring. He was part of one my favorite tag teams "The Natural Disasters." Their feud with the Nasty Boy's was great and I really enjoyed seeing them win the tag titles. R.I.P. Scott Charles Bigelow "Bam Bam Bigelow"- like Tenta and Yoko, "Bam Bam" was another large athlete who had tremendous agility, quickness and strength for a man of his stature. His aerial assault for a man that large was unheard of. Loved him as a face and a heel and could of made a great IC and maybe even WWE champ. R.I.P. My heart started acting all kinds of weird reading this...Perfect! I will add Big Boss-Man he was apparently a fantastic guy with the same birthday (not year lol). Loved when he came back to the WWE. Always wanted his Hasbro fig when I was younger. Eddie was always a big favorite as I'd just started getting back into the WWE when he and The Radicals joined! Benoit's was the biggest as I was not even watching wrestling at the time and it was on the news in the UK which is very rare. I also found out about Bulldog the same way  . Owens was awful as I remember been in my last year of school getting to my mates house so we could walk up together. I couldn't watch the PPV as we didn't have Sky but he'd taped it. I got to his house and he showed me the part....just horrible I have found all there deaths harder since I went back and really did research on them (esp Owen & Mr Perfect DVD) and there wrestling history. Such a shame. |

Benoit, just because of the circumstances. How can you accept that a guy you've spent your whole life idolizing is a murderer?

I'd have to agree, I don't like to rate people's deaths over others, they are all tragic, but I remember rooting for Benoit at WM 20 (despite being a HBK fan) and then for that to happen....I mean....I just couldn't believe it. |

Owen was the hardest for me. Just seemed like a good dude who never got into any mischief like the other wrestlers did that died too soon.

Great question.
Chris Benoit was and always will be, one of my favorites wrestlers despite becoming a disturbed twisted person.
It still pains me to really think about the entire situation.
That day, I had just gotten a copy of Danzig's Lost Tracks CD and the song "Bound by Blood" will always remind of Benoit and the events that took place.
Everytime I hear that song, it's like his entrance music and I have to switch the song to stop from thinking of it.

I'm still having trouble accepting Luna's death. She's pretty much the only wrestler who's career I followed completely as she was the reason I started watching in the first place. It's even worse to know how badly she was treated during her time in WWF.

I would have to say Miss Elizabeth cause honestly who could have seen that? I mean if you told me Benoit would go on a killing spree because of roids......Id believe it. If you told me Guerrero would die of heart failure because of years of drug use......Id believe it....If you said Owen would die from doing something stupid.....Id believe it......but if you said Miss Elizabeth would die from a drug overdose, id think you were a damn fool. She really seemed like a pure, head on straight woman. Totally shocking.

Benoit for me, Rewind: March 14, 2004 I'm cheering on Benoit to win the title, when he does I mark out like crazy. Fast forward 3 years and I'm in my living room on my couch watching TV and witness CNN covering the news of his death, I just couldn't believe the guy I idolized took the lives of his wife, son, and himself in just a blink of an eye and just a snap of a finger.

I don't think I had a hard time accepting these deaths but the 3 that come to my mind [for different reasons] are: Eddie - I was never a big fan but he was someone who I had watched for a long time in wwe. So for him to just die was very sad. Benoit - Again not a big fan of him; sure he was a great wrestler but to me mostly boring. When I first read about his death I thought someone had killed him and his family. The tribute show they had was very sad. But then on the way home from my grandma's house [who didn't have internet so it was news to me] I heard that HE killed them so I was like really?! I just watched a murderer for 2 hours? So yeah I don't have anything really good to say about him but he's listed since it is obviously the most talked about one.. Sensational Sherri - I was sad when I heard she died but never really thought much about it. But recently I've been watching some of her old matches and damn was she good in the ring and just in general! I wish she could come back and still wrestle.  RIP to her. |
