RIP Crush.

Perhaps he didn't die of drugs like so many of his contemporaries, but of shame from doing this video?

@mn5 He sounds like the belters from The Expanse.

Same, he was my favorite as a kid.

I actually thought he was already dead - i.e was Owen Hart.

He was a good character though.

[Bovidae]

The list of dead former WWF/WWE wrestlers is a very long one. My favourite was The Ultimate Warrior.

Back in the late 80s/early 90s a mate's younger brother used to get all the big events sent from the USA on VHS so we used to watch them all.

Ultimate warrior was such a legend

the Warrior was immensely strong and one hell of an athlete but his skills were pretty limited in the ring apparently.

I also heard Ravishing Rick Rude gave him a legitimate beating backstage after he worked too 'stiff'

Wrestlemania tomorrow, Hall of Fame today. Some moron thought it would be great to tackle Bret Hart while he was giving a speech, and got somewhat messed up by the attending wrestlers...
