Misawa’s death is an absolute tragedy. By that point of his career he should’ve absolutely been wrapping it up and stayed within a backstage role, but he really wanted to build up the promotion more. He knew there was a good chance he was going to die in the ring and had a letter written specifically FOR that moment so he could try to reassure the wrestler who he’d be facing that it wasn’t their fault and he wanted them to continue their career.

[@KingCordster]

If I remember correctly, he was set to retire in 07, but due to health complications from Kobashi (cancer, and nagging injuries and such), Misawa felt that he had to continue wrestling a full-time schedule. It’s absolutely tragic, I agree. The tag match that he ultimately died in was rumored to have been one of his matches anyway, as he was going to retire sometime later in 2009.

[@retromintman8450]

Silver King ended up becoming my uncle's friend in his last years. My uncle was a wrestling promoter for his own promotion and Silver King actually wrestled for him on a few occasions. My uncle was absolutely gutted about his death because they really did become good friends. In 2020, my uncle passed away due to Covid complications. I can only hope he's reunited with his friend.

And almost all of them had underlying health issues at the time, too.

Great video. Just wanted to add to the snoring point - snoring is essentially your airway being blocked by your soft tissues, and reverberating as air is forced in and out. Some people do it while they sleep (obviously) and it isn't necessarily a concerning thing. But, there are several situations where snoring is scary. If someone is knocked out, has collapsed or is difficult to rouse, and they're snoring, their brain isn't working effectively in telling their muscles to stay tense. An obstructed airway will kill someone quickly. Learning how to perform a few basic maneuvers can save someone's life.

[@patrickcallison2167]

It's been seven years and I still find myself wondering how Ray feels about Perro's death. I imagine something like that has to weigh heavy on peoples minds. I hope Ray doesn't kick himself to much about this. It was a freak accident and all the training and expierence in the world can't discount that.

[@SirPunzalot]

According to an interview I saw, Ray isn't that troubled. He said he was initially shocked, but realised that this stuff happens in wrestling - so it doesn't bother him anymore. He hoped that Perro's family could get over the incident and move on, like he had. Of course, he hoped that he wouldn't be involved in something like this again - but if he did, he'd just chalk it up to the whims of the sport and get back to entertaining the crowd (he mentioned being disappointed, in hindsight, that the match didn't have a proper conclusion).

[@suoquainen]

@@SirPunzalot I understood that he was devestated at first. But obviously once the report came out about how he died he realized that there was nothing anyone could do. It's no different than tripping over a crack on the sidewalk, hitting your head and dying. A freak accident that can happen to anyone. That doesn't lessen the fact that Rey does have to live with it in his memory for life. But wrestling is a dangerous sport no matter many precautions they take.

I'm not going to use the term "honorable mention" here, but Alberto Torres and Ray Gunkel were keyfabe-killed by Ox Baker's Heart Punch.

@@FordPrefict42 To be truthful, it's doubtful he truly ended either man's life. The other wrestler who died after a match with Ox was Ray Gunkel, but his death was likely due more to a gastrointestinal issue similar to the one that took David Von Erich. Allegedly Gunkel overindulged at a local restaurant sometime before his match, because he didn't die until afterwards in the dressing room. After showering, Gunkel was about to towel off and collapsed on the floor. According to authorities, Gunkel was likely dead as soon as he hit the floor. Alberto Torres however died in the ring, and the actual cause of his death was pretty inconclusive.

Having watched a video of that Rey vs Perro match I can honestly say that if the dropkick didn't kill Perro then Konnan's rough handling of his unconscious/dead body would've done it.

[@alejandrosagredotapia8106]

It wasn't just the Dropkick. Just prior to that, Rey sent Aguayo out of the ring with a headscissors takedown (which was an apparent miscommunication as Aguayo was supposed to fall onto the 2nd rope for the 619), and unfortunately, Aguayo's neck hit the ring apron, which likely caused the initial fracture of his cervical vertebrae. When he rolled back to the ring inmediately after, he was moving slower as if he was on auto-pilot, and as soon as Mysterio dropkicked him in the shoulder and propeled him into the ropes, his neck snapped as he had 3 broken vertebrae (C1, C2 and C3). He died pretty much instantly, since the 3 fractured vertebrae were the ones that attach the skull to the spine, which made him a quadruplegic and led to cardiac arrest since he couldn't breathe on his own anymore. The same thing happened to Misawa, although the wear and tear after years of taking high-angle bumps had really damaged Misawa's spine. It was that one more high-angle belly to back suplex that caused Misawa's neck to snap at the base of the skull (he snapped the C1 and C2), and it led to cardiac arrest.

I still can't believe that Owen Hart died in that way, honestly when I first heard of WWE I've seen a lot of people unfortunately die, Like Scott Hall, and Luke Harper, but when I watched the death of Owen Hart (on KZbin) I was shocked that people don't call him the GOAT.

The fact that WWE suffered 0 repercussions for their negligence in using cheapest materials possible

[@graemew7001]

I've never understood why, when these men and women are taking such risks in shows, especially the larger ones, why there isn't an ambulance and paramedics in the building as a precaution because as is proved here, time has been the enemy of some of these wrestlers. Hang the costs of having these provisions on standby, there's enough profits to pay for it, far cheaper than the immesurable price of a life.

If Plum Mariko required brain surgery, she likely had either an epidural or subdural hematoma (collection of blood on the top of the brain). This often has an associated overlying skull fracture. An abscess is an infection of the brain. An autopsy isn't necessarily required in the light of surgery since the cause of death is readily apparent. Prior concussions don't predispose one to this type of injury, but to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (still a darn good reason to not wrestle though).

Considering most viewers are well aware of the subject matter, there is video footage for some of these incidents that should be included.

Correction: Archie Moore was, is and always will be known as the KO king. Unless you have someone in mind about to score his 140th KO in pro boxing.

I was supposed to go to the Gary Albright show, but something happened and I ended up not going

How about Alberto Torres and Ray Gunkel? Gunkel was shortly after a match but I though Torres died in the ring.

I'm a simple man. I see "wrestler" and "died" in the same sentence, I click on the video immediately.

As tragic as all of these are, nothing ever hit me quite as hard as Misawa's death did...
