Boxers Who Died Young

[KillaMane26]

Pro wrestling list would be 4 times longer, and that's just wrestlers from the 80s.

Facts! Pro Wrestling might be hands down the worst!

The crazy schedule, steroids, drug abuse, no union, damage to their bodies. Shyt real for something known to be so fake.

How about the Cuban Am hit by a train? I'm not sure it was mentioned or not?

Yes, it’s pretty extensive. Wrestling deaths were touched upon on page two of this thread. Here’s a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...estling_deaths

Good find.

Yeah man. If you combine the NFL, bodybuilding, and the crazy rockstar lifestyle, then you get a good picture of pro wrestlers were putting their bodies through.

Roberto Balado (25): 1992 Olympic gold medalist in the super heavyweight division; three time amateur world champion; 238-12 amateur record. In 1994, Roberto was killed when his car collided with a train in Havana.

Thanks for the entry.

As a kid I loved pro wrestling. I stopped watching decades ago, but the memory of some of the legends of the game remains with me. Ric Flair is right up there. If you haven’t yet seen the ESPN 30 for 30 dedicated to him, do so right now! The feature is a fascinating look into “Nature Boy’s” life and the pro wrestling lifestyle you just described. Those dudes are something else. Woooooooo!!

If pro wrestling were any more real, there would be a whole lot more deaths. Although the outcomes are pre-determined, there’s nothing fake about the punishment these men endure. They really are impressive physical specimens. Lesser beings wouldn’t live half as long.

Wow, 15 years, I mean...

The Ric Flair 30 for 30 is a great documentary. He's one of my all time favorites.

Sad to hear his Ric and his daughter Charlotte describe her brother Reed's death, heavy stuff. Charlotte basically became a wrestler to honor her brother and live his dream for him, while Flair mentioned how guilty he felt trying to be the "cool dad" who was more like a friend than an actual parent.

I'm glad Flair is still alive being over 70.

Ric has lived an unbelievable life. Actually, several lifetimes. Knowing what he’s done, it’s incredible he’s still alive. Some people are just special. But, of course, no one is perfect.

Seems rather lenient, I know. Probably a combination of factors affected the sentence.
