Another wrestling deathâŠ
The first ever post I made on this site made reference to this guy.
Found dead in an apparent suicide, Chris âChampagneâ âInvasion MVPâ âWho better than?â Kanyon.
RIP
Who??? :o
From one of the sites I read:
In light of Chris Kanyonâs passing over the weekend, itâs interesting to note that a total of twenty-two talents who performed for World Championship Wrestling in 1998 have since passed away - nearly equal to a 25-man MLB roster. Likewise, a total of six wrestlers who performed for the World Wrestling Federation the very same year have since passed on (Big Boss Man, âDr. Deathâ Steve Williams, Golga, Owen Hart, Road Warrior Hawk and Test). However, only two WWF performer deaths have been attributed to drug use while the WCW list is significantly greater.
In its entirety, here is the list of deceased talents who performed for WCW in 1998. With the exception of one performer, all deaths listed occurred before the age of 50.
» Bam Bam Bigelow - 2007 / 01 / 19 (45)
» Bobby Duncum, Jr. - 2000 / 01 / 24 (34)
» Brady Boone (referee) - 1998 / 12 / 16 (40)
» Brian Adams - 2007 / 08 / 13 (44)
» Chase Tatum - 2008 / 03 / 23 (34)
» Chris Adams - 2001 / 10 / 07 (46)
» Chris Benoit - 2007 / 06 / 24 (40)
» Curt Hennig - 2003 / 02 / 10 (44)
» Davey Boy Smith - 2002 / 05 / 17 (39)
» Eddie Guerrero - 2005 / 11 / 13 (38)
» Elizabeth - 2003 / 05 / 01 (42)
» Emory Hale - 2006 / 01 / 28 (36)
» Johnny Grunge - 2006 / 02 / 16 (40)
» Joey Maggs - 2006 / 10 / 15 (37)
» Kanyon - 2010 / 04 / 02 (40)
» Louie Spicolli - 1998 / 02 / 15 (27)
» Mark Curtis (referee) - 1999 / 09 / 08 (37)
» Randy Anderson (referee) - 2002 / 05 / 05 (42)
» Ray Traylor - 2004 / 09 / 22 (41)
» Rick Rude - 1999 / 04 / 20 (40)
» Renegade - 1999 / 02 / 23 (33)
» Rocco Rock - 2002 / 09 / 21 (50)
Additionally, six more talents who joined WCW after 1998 have since passed on - Chris Candido, âDr. Deathâ Steve Williams, Mike Awesome, Rhonda Singh, Sherri Martel and The Wall. All six deaths listed occurred before the age of 50.
On a final note, Kanyonâs passing marks the fifteenth consecutive year in which at least one talent who performed for WCW between 1991 and 2001 has died.
Thatâs insane when you think about itâŠ
On another note, i was surprised to see that Christopher Daniels has been released by TNA. Iâm not sure about the way they are going tbh. I must say i now agree with Flanoâs thoughts on the subject. Theyâre going down the same route as WCW did. TNA arguably had a better product this time last yearâŠ
Candidos deat was fucked up. Complications from surgery is what got that poor bastard.
Anyone catch Raw? I think we are all suffering post mania burnout. I cant imagine it was any good.
In more interesting news Karen Angle is engaged to Jeff Jarrett. How will Kurt react to that?
I watched the replay alright, it was not goodâŠ
Any signing in?
YesâŠ
Will you be showing up yourself?
As its a London show I read the spoilers already. I doubt it.
So itâs not live??
No. Its been taped.
Read that Sheamus got some crowd response at the 02 dublin show on Saturday against Cena. Cena gave him the belt after he beat him and let Sheamus have the ring to himself. I believe Bret Hart was meant to have put Sheamus in the sharpshooter as he was the guest enforcer but this was changed on the fly.
Nice little tag match there on Vintage. Bret/Bulldog vs Owen/Neidhart.
No logic the Hoff making matches for Smackdowns champion Jack Swagger.
It seems that the flight ban has left the Raw crew stranded over in England and they will be unable to make tomorrows live Raw. The Smackdown crew have got back to the Us so it is looking like they will be taking over Raw tomorrow night.
Shame on Dunph for forcing me to bump the thread again. :lol:
Its going to be Monday Night Smackdown tonight. And Hunter apparently.
Whoâs signing in for Extreme Rules tonight??
Also, i must head out to the shop for a few snacks for tonight - Any suggestions folks???
I cant sign in tonight or tomorrow. I shall try and catch it tomorrow afternoon.
You can never go wrong with a bag of jellies or some Pringles.
HHH v Sheamus first upâŠ
