Dead Wrestlers List
This is the most complete dead wrestlers list on the Internet. In it you will find wrestlers who have died in the last ten years, twenty years, and going all the way back to the late 19th century.
While many people think of wrestling as a big joke, there is one thing about wrestling that isn’t funny. The death rate among wrestlers is alarmingly high. The first time time this story was covered by the national media was in 2003 on HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumble. That segment featured Vince McMahon mocking the interviewer and slapping the notes from his hands. In addition, the only wrestler to speak up for the wrestlers, Roddy Piper, was fired after the piece aired.
There is much debate about how much effect steroid use has on the premature deaths of professional wrestlers. As this list will be updated with causes of death, where available, it is beneficial to have some idea of the side effects of steroid use. While the true long term side effects are not fully known, it is believed that just a few of the side effects of steroid use include: heart disease, liver damage, kidney damage, cancer, strokes and blood clots, depression, thoughts of suicide, paranoia, hallucinations, severe mood swings, and ‘roid rage’ – severe, agressive behavior that may result in violence.
RIP Rowdy Roddy Piper
RIP Dusty Rhodes

what about butch reed ?
Holy Chr-st! Has ANY SINGLE PERSON posting here gone to school EVER? The spelling is atrocious. Don’t you people have at least a little respect? You’re talking about someone’s life, not just a career. Read the friggin’ list before you ask a stupid question. NO, Benoit wasn’t a victim, he was a MURDERER. He even killed his kid.
The lessons here are:
1. Don’t do steroids. Just don’t. Mick Foley didn’t need a physique so maybe you don’t, either.
2. Put down the pain pills. No matter how much you hurt, they will KILL you.
Do those 2 things and every wrestler alive should live another 20 years. Let’s not encourage death-defying acts and maybe say “thanks” to your favorite wrestler. Even your favorite heel is just a guy doing a darn good job. Say thanks. They’re killing themselves for your approval.
A very long list of great people that many of whom I grew up watching, and now reading they have sadly left us!
I may of missed his name but Wat about Jake ‘the snake’ Roberts?
I send my love out to their families friends and loved ones!

What the Admin. is holding back about\ Miss Elisabeth is that Lex Luger had part of her during of an over dose. She was at the time living with Lex the big steroid user. She was found dead in his apartment. Check now and your see Lex is claiming he change and ihe see God now. Well Mr Steroid I don’t think you can change you been on drugs since you enter wrestling and now you want everyone think you change BS. And your so called buddy Sting has been on drugs for years. I’m an Old time Wrestling fan and these 2 with many more like Hulk destroy wrestling with drug use
Why alot of these people die by suicide I don’t understand

Enrique Llanes, “Dr Death” Steve Williams,
man Jack Brisco was so awsomemet him as a kid and because he was so professional and nice and kind to a 12 year old loved him forever will miss him and his great persona loved the fiqure 4 hes the best
I didnt see Dr. Death Steve Williams who died about 2 weeks after Umaga from Throat Cancer, and Sherri Martel died from an overdose of Hillbilly Cocaine… not of a heart attack…
And all those that keep asking, Rikishi is still alive, as is Rowdy Roddy Piper, and Nancy (Woman) Benoit was on the list, directly above Chris Benoit, but she was under her maiden name… I also didnt see Bertha Faye whom died in the late 90’s of a heart attack… rick rude is on the list, as is Sherri Martel (wrong cause of death tho…), Dino Bravo, Hawk…
Magnum T.A.(dead), must admit I dont know Devillion, Road warriors Animal (alive) and hawk (dead and on the list), co-co b-ware (alive), x-pac and road dogg (both alive, I think they are in WWE currently…)
Great list tho to the person whom put it all together 🙂 thanks for sharing it all with us
Reid Roode (rude) 25 year old son of Ravishing Rick Rude (roode) died at the end of March of this year… 🙁
You missed a very popular legend. He a title holder and world class wrestler, one of the nicest people I’ve ever known and was my father in law. Some knew him AD Tug, but the world knew him as Lord Carlton. He deserves his place here. Please add him, I’ve worn his robes and belts, I could never fill his shoes. Thanks http://www.lordcarlton.com
is rowdy roddy piper dead
whatever happened to all those midget wrestlers?
How about Hans Schmitt?
Chief White Owl?
Paul Bearer died at Great American Bash I forgot the year but he’s was “murdered” by undertaker and Paul Heyman by cement poured on him
dont forget my cousin mohamed jihad saad. he died at age 40 from a heart attack. best known with cris carter (freedom fighters)
Hey u forgot Paul bearer. The original doink dies the other day.
all i have 2 say is sorry 2 all the wrestling familys who have lost a family member, espesially the harts, the benoits,the usos,the gurreros &the hennings. thanks for your time.
I have nothing but respect and the best memories of going to see live matches with my dad
u 4got about doink
Doink The Clown 55 died to accidental drug overdose.
Sailor. Art Tomas. Lord Layton. Lou thez. Fred. Curry.
Triple H…..well his career is dead anyway
I’m not sure who said that Rowdy Roddy Piper was dead, but they’re wrong. Just saw him on Celebrity Wife Swap & he looked pretty good for a dead guy.
Paul bearer is not on this list or Doink the Clown is not on this list either?
Paul Bearer
What is the caused of death of Paul Bearer?
Can you add Jay Strongbow to this list?
I noticed you don’t have the following in your listings. I understand that you may be in the process of adding two of the names, because they just died within the past few days, but the third is one who passed away a couple of years ago.
Angelo Savoldi (99 years of age; possibly the oldest living former pro wrestler at the time of his death) – died of natural causes
Frenchy Bernard (Andre the Giant’s personal assistant, ranch caretaker and longtime friend; also former wrestler and referee) – unknown cause
Donna Christanello (great “heel” woman wrestler; former women’s tag team champs with Toni Rose) – died of a long illness; at the time of her death was a former Wal-Mart employee
Thanks for your consideration!
i miss Chris Benoit and Eddy Euerrero RIP guys
I cant believe that eddie gurrero died
R.I.P. eddie gurrero
