Wrestlelamia, thank you guys for giving all these men who’ve contributed to the business a proper 10-Ben salute. Class act.
Was thinkin the same thang ✌
Video is monetized so it’s distasteful.
@@ItzTruthHurts Ah, I didn’t realize it, I went straight to the comments to comment what I had to comment. Hopefully they remove it.
Respect to all these men, R•I•P.

The sarcasm drips from your words so eloquently. So wry, yet so subtle while so humouress.
I salute you.
I remembered the time when Maria was forced to wrestle Umaga on a Raw storyline. She said in an interview that he was one of the few people she liked to be in a ring with. She also said he was very gentle on the ring and made sure she was ok and not injured. What a gentleman. RIP Umaga you will surely be missed.
just like his Yokozuna was always a gentle person in the ring.
@@0fficialdregs Yeah I just rewatched his (Umaga) match with Maria. He was keeping a close eye on her after he delivered a Samoan Drop. He was making sure that she was still ok when he’s about to do the Running Butt safely. I might also add props to Maria for taking sick bumps like that.
@@giantswingallday7001 agreed. even cornette said Yoko went for his drop, when he came down and hit jim's chest, he said it was like touching a mattress
@@0fficialdregs who knew that a tattooed brute can be a gentle giant in the ring. He had a good run.
@@giantswingallday7001 exactly and was a good friend to cornette too. They are deeply missed
Umaga came from a huge family of wrestlers. Rikishi - brother, Yokazuna - cousin and many others including his future star cousin Roman Reigns and nephews The Usos. RIP Legend
The Anoa'i family. He was even a distant relative of The Rock.
He was a pretty good wrestler too.Too bad drugs took his life.
I think too that Vince was trying to make up for what happen to Yokozuna.
@@lonniehowell9593A damn shame indeed.
So yoka was not a Asian.. in fact from the legendary sumo bloodline.. I’m 34 and still love learning facts About the era of wrestling I grew up on…..
Andrew "Test" Martin was a friend of my fathers and worked out at my father's gym all the time. I have very fond memories as a child sitting on his shoulders while he would do workouts, I remember hearing of his passing and immediately just broke down. He was such a nice guy, still think about him to this day.
It’s crazy to think that someone as all American 🇺🇸 good looking and in shape as Test was a drug addict. Addiction doesn’t discriminate. RIP. Never understood why the company disassociate Andrew, he was very popular wrestler when i was a kid
@@donttalktomeyoureannoying8736 agreed 100% addiction is invisible and hits everyone in different ways. I miss him to this day, he actually was from a town not too far from mine in Ontario Canada. I miss him, he was a very kind man at least with me and my family. I remember a lot of good times seeing him at my father's gym.
Not denying he was but there's a laundry list of wrestlers who said he was one of the worst people they've worked with.
Yeahhh I call 🧢
@@Lewise512 why would I lie about something like that?! You have 0 idea of who I am or who my family knows but okay bud 👌
I enjoyed Umaga's run in the WWE. His matches and his storyline were top tier entertaining. Then when he passed away I felt deeply saddened yet confused why WWE didn't choose to pay any tribute.
Same here, he had all these matches with greats, i thought that would mean that WWE deeply had plans for him
Dude I legit didn’t know he passed I assumed he retired wow bro I’m legit upset rn…
@@fenixbueno27 you're late af
Vince McMahon loved Umaga alot and was sad wen he died that was his own created idea
No $ in it for Vince or that particular wrestler Vince had grudge against
Even though they ignored all these superstars deaths their legacy will live on forever
Fan's will never forget star's we all admired like Doink the Clown & Umaga with their drug related deaths sadly
Hard to say if some of them were "ignored" or if their deaths just slipped under the WWE's radar. It's a 24/7 business with no off-season, and it's not like they wake up everyday and check to see if anyone in the wrestling world has died. If it's a lesser name, then the news of there death isn't even going to make most news outlets. That said, they should have definitely known about a few of these guys and given them the proper sendoff.
TEST DIED bro i’m late i didn’t know😢
@@vibinwithvon9294 me too bro i didn't know, Rest In Heaven to the Man, he was a legend, and deserve to be in HOF.
@@marloaleman9539 umaga was terrible
I miss Test. He had the potential to be a great star and was well on his way but some people felt threatened by that, thus keeping him under. RIP Andrew.
it was obvious even at the time that he would never reach the main event just so he wouldnt look good again therefore Steph wouldnt have a change of heart or something.......the more i watch wrestling stuff lke that the more i see the insecurity is running rampant in the WWE
I didn't know Test passed. I liked his character. And yeah, he had the gravel to be title card. 🎉
@@bold810 Same, was a shock to me now hearing that he died.
Test was great. Very underrated.
@@kokocaptainqc It really is a very corrupt and broken business. I am sure there's books worth of material on Vince being crooked and screwing over people alone.
All the names that are listed in the video will never be forgotten by us fans. RIP to all of these legends. 🙏
Not gonna lie, I had completely forgotten about Kanyon. I wonder if his struggles out of the ring, his depression and later his subsequent suicide, was a result of how Vince and the WWE as a whole treated him and the other WCW talent. Could explain why the company only acknowledged it through a little blurb on their website instead of on tv. Like the video said, Kanyon had the wrestling chops and was making moves in WCW prior to the merger. Then the McMahons purchased WCW from Ted Turner and pretty much every one of the WCW wrestlers got screwed over, except Booker T. Who was willing to stand up for his character’s sake. I’m glad Sting didn’t make the switch after the acquisition, because I’d have hated seeing the WWE treat Steve Borden’s persona like crap. Sting has said he doesn’t regret not making the jump, because he was fearful McMahon would have done just that. DDP has even said he wished he had walked away with his guaranteed contract through WCW instead of being involved in the invasion. Vince and the WWF did a lot of damage to the careers of a lot of former WCW wrestlers after they bought WCW. Whether on purpose, by thinking they know all, or a combination of both, the WWF/WWE pissed all over the careers of a number of talented WCW wrestlers with how they handled those characters during the invasion. Jericho was lucky he decided to jump ship after his WCW contract was up long before WCW was sold to the McMahons. I’d hate to think what might have been had he joined the WWE after the WCW acquisition and he had been a part of the invasion angle. The Ayatollah of Rock-n-Rolla might never have been what he became. Joining when and how he did allowed him a lot more freedom than what the former WCW wrestlers got when the invasion angle took place.
Doink the clown especially
God bless you your a good man
@@bradmyers5354 he was gay
@@SmegulonPrime yes ,and?
Umaga deserved a tribute on television, he had quite a bit of potential too.
i remember seein him live in 07 before he died
Mmmmmmmmmm ye
Love his finisher with the taped up thumb.
According to Vince he didn't because the fans know the reason he was released and he died from that..
One of my favorite wrestlers as a kid
Austin leaving a beer in the ring for Owen Hart is one of my favorite wrestling memories. Especially considering the history between those two
RIP to all of them. They deserve better..😔
Most definitely.😥
It’s a shame that the wrestlers who passed are being ignored by a business they wanted to be apart of since childhood or just later in life.
@@heelgill fr The WWE didn’t even care about them at all. They just care about the money
@@Itsmwahh let's boycott WWE
Wwe should do better, whether Unknown wrestlers or top dogs, respect the fact these wrestlers chose to wrestle in wwe
Test lived across the street from my parents. He was such an incredibly nice guy. My parents loved him. I always found it hysterical that they had no idea who he was and just called him Andrew. I think my Mom might have had a little bit of a crush on him. 🤣 RIP Andrew.

@@kylein9869 bro ...... what an ignorant comment

Had the SS symbol tattooed on his body.
Was a bigot towards gay people, even made songs and writings about it
Joined the far right political group of his country.
And then almost killed his wife…apparently multiple times.
hey
A human business would acknowledge all workers whether top tier or less known, wwe isn't a human business
I met Hercules in Detroit Michigan at Metro Airport back in the 80's. I was just a kid but I recognized him right away. I remember letting go of my dad's hand and walking towards to Hercules. I asked him if he was really Hercules and he said, "I am sure kid. There's a lot of us in town this weekend." I talked to him for about 3 minutes and thanked him for talking to me, and wished him luck in his match. I walked back to where my dad was and I saw Kerry Von Erich sitting at a bar. He was having some whiskey, he was wearing sunglasses and had a black eye. I walked up to him and asked him if he was the Texas Tornado himself. He looked at me, pulled his glasses down to look me in the eyes and he said, "Every day buddy. I met so many wrestlers that day. Tony Atlas, Hogan, Rowdy Roddy, Junkyard Dog, Ricky The Dragon Steamboat,..... Every single one of them treated me like I was welcome and appreciated.
This seriously made my whole day. Those were my childhood heros
Fr that’s awesome
you painted the story very well too that is amazing for some that would be like if a movie wrapped up and all the stars decided to go to a restaurant randomly to celebrate and a big fan sees them there
@@chrisa8283 it was a highlight of my young life. Not a single one of the two dozen wrestlers I talked to that day made me feel like a pest or that I was bothering them. For the most part, I was the only person who approached any of them in the airport. But out of all of them, Hercules was the absolute coolest. Meeting him was like meeting a comic book hero. He wasn't really real to me until I met him and shook his hand. He signed my shirt, Roddy Piper signed my shirt, Kerry Von Erich signed my shirt, Junkyard Dog, The Dragon,.... I had 2 dozen autographs on my shirt of all of my wrestling heroes. Unfortunately, that was before camera phones.
My dad once called out piper for the fact he wasn’t even Scottish
Umaga was one of my favorite wrestlers when i was a kid. I miss him every time i watch anything involving wrestling

If i remember, they did mention the passing of Dynamite Kid and Jack Tunney in small thumbnail articles in WWE Magazine back in the 1990s, that much i remember.
thank you ♥️
Just to say, you people that make these timed table of contents on TH-cam are the biggest mvps out there. All the best to you and your kind. You do a important thing lol
When Eric Bischoff mentioned Umaga and Rosey in his Hall Of Fame induction, it was the biggest moment in his HOF speech, period... It was so great that he mention them, showing his respect to these two guys 👏 God rest their souls 🙏🙏
Giving each of these men some respect and tribute is what makes this channel special. Even though they may have not been major top cards they were still a part of memories and entertainment.
hey
That's what it means to spend time and life to a job, wwe should acknowledge everyone as their workers
@@JustinCarbaugh hey
@@EnergeticSpark63 👋
Uhhh 40 something here been watching wrestling off an on for a few decades now, what in the god damn are you talking about not "top cards"? Half of these guys won belts and were headliners!
Breaks my heart hearing that most of these guys took there own life or died of an overdose... Rest Easy Guys us fans thank you and we will never forget you
Rest In Peace to all those forgotten the wwe may have forgotten them but we never will
An that’s the weird thing I think it’s more too it
While you are trying to make a company look bad over people’s death, Did you ever think of maybe they didn’t from the way they died ?
Watch the film The Wrestler and you'll understand. It's not always the life that kills these guys, it's having to give up the life.
Says a lot about wrestling too.
Tests passing really shook me. The big boot was one of my favorite finishers next to sweet chin music
When I was a kid, I remember watching 'Chyna' and thinking she was the coolest ever as she was the first WWE (WWF when I was a kid) female wrestler who was in the ring with the boys. And I remember the controversy years later when I heard about her passing and how the WWE refused to acknowledge her until fans called them out and then they gave her a half-assed tribute.
God, 🙏 YEesWWE
No joke, as a kid I thought they got Xena and I was so stoked😂 Chyna was and still is my fave. She was so cool❤
R.I.P. to everyone who sadly passed away that the wwe ignored
I subbed bro

Honorable mention to the WWE's literal tallest star Jorge "Giant" Gonzalez. Setting the record for tallest star in wrestling at 7'7" and the only person from Argentina to ever compete in pro wrestling as well as being the 3rd match on Undertaker's legendary streak at Wrestlemania 9. Sadly he would pass away at age 44 in 2010 due to diabetes and heart attacks. R.I.P. Jorge. 1966-2010
I just saw him on an old rerun of Baywatch! 🤣
@@RobertEDelGuidice1969 yeah. He was Manny the gentle giant.
Wow I didn't know that he was that young when he faced Taker
@@davidkosiba624 he’s younger than the undertaker himself
I think they did idk I remember hearing something about that
Umaga was on the that Yokozuna/ Rikishi level of good in the ring. Big dude but moves like a Cruiserweight. It was really sad when he passed away. He should have been a huge name in WWE.
Kanyon was very liked backstage in WWE and was planned to get a big push but he got hurt and Vince seen that as a liability, I believe thats why Finn never got the title back also....
Umaga, Test, Sean O'Haire are so underated. I wish they would win a world championship. RIP to all of them
Wait what sean ohaire is dead
@@hittingthegspot sadly yes
Test was limited in the ring and definitely way way behind on the mic, he was crazy lucky to have had the push he had.
Hell yeah
Seems unlikely now, considering...you know
I think Ashley Massaro should have been mentioned. She may have not been a big star, but she was really well known during the ruthless agression era.
I completely forgot about her
She was mentioned. Watch the beginning of MITB 2019
She died? Wow
remember when she really gave out her legit phone number lol
They never mentioned Chyna
Considering he was part of the legendary Anoa'i family WWE not recognizing Umaga is even more shocking
Based on what Jericho gave about Umaga, I don't think they were really "ignoring" any of these deaths. I honestly think in most part since a lot of these deaths were after Chris Benoit and since they were either suicides or accidental ODs, I think they just wanted to tred carefully about if they should acknowledge them or not and if they did, how they should go about it.
In Viscera's case, his may have been motivated by backstage politics since, in his first run as Mabel he broke The Undertaker's face and broke Diesel's rib cage, a lot of the wrestlers didn't like working with him and thought he was still too stiff even after all his repackagings and, since they were repackaging him again & again they had been giving chance after chance but in the end they got unbearably fed up with him.
They thought enough of Viscera to keep bringing him back despite those cases.
Another big man that was real slow in the ring.A few of the these guys were just tragic.Period.
R.I.P Umaga, poor guy. He was one of my favorites and it saddened me a lot to see how he wasn’t acknowledged.
No R.I.P. for atheist.
Umaga and Test had so much potential. Hate that they kept their talent hidden
Uuuuuuumagaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
Me too
@@timothyvanhorn909 If there is a God I'm sure those who will go to heaven will be the ones who put more good into the world, not people like you who make such disgusting comments about people who have didn't have the same beliefs as you.
6:29 I literally had no idea whatsoever he passed away. I feel embarrassed that I’d forgotten that Crash Holly is sadly no longer with us but as for Test, I literally had no idea until I watched this video. He was fantastic to watch and I have some great memories of him from what I considered to be the best era of the WWF/WWE. 😢
WrestleLamia cares more about wrestling than Vince McMahon. Sad indictment of the WWE right there - but shows how great his channel is !
Vince doesn't care about wrestling. He only cares about every thin penny that he can squeeze out of wrestling.
That's very ignorant to say given wrestling lives on mostly because of his influence.
@@heyzeushoards1405 Wrestling was destroyed owing to McMahon. He purchased the territories. We would still have the NWA, if we still had the territories that comprised it - but McMahon bought them, nearly all. The WWE is single handedly responsible for the destruction of wrestling, because as their ratings went down, so did the entire product. If everyone figured out that the UFC was a work, it would be destroyed too.
WWE is a fuckin disgrace to wrestling
@Scott Robinson no, he's not. McMahon is responsible for nearly destroying the entire industry, and it only exists today in spite of him, not because of him.
I never understood why they ignored Test and Umaga deaths at the time.
They both died of drug overdoses. WWE did not want to bring attention to that.
Others also died because of Drugs and they still didn't ignore it...
Especially when Umaga died, I was surprised that WWE didn't do anything. Wwe and Umagas family go way back and have so much history together.
Umaga died? Whatttt
@@Sirkuru Yeah a long time ago, in like 2008
@@Sirkuru He died on December 4, 2009
Not having one for Test, Viscera, Umaga or Hercules was surprising. They all were a big part of helping WWE become what they’re today. It’s just sad. This is just my opinion. Thanks for another great video.
That's because WWE is ran by greedy asshole who could care less about others lives. Its all about the buck.
Respect Wrestlelamia, for ringing the bell for the departed. That was beautiful
If some of the deceased wrestlers of the 2000s were still alive today, they would be world champions, backstage employees, managers or join commentary
Giving the bell at the end of the video was pure class! It doesn't matter what circumstances end a superstar's life. What matters is that when they were in the ring, they gave it their all! And we should acknowledge that and show appreciation for that, and the struggle they went through to give us, the fans, that level of performance.
I agree. They still left their mark.
They don’t acknowledge them as it makes their industry/company look bad as if it drives them to drugs. Welcome to life in a capitalist’s world !!
Same why sports companies don’t talk about the bankruptcies and divorces of its stars.
Love the 10 bell salute at the end of the video, Umaga became one of my favorite wrestlers when I was a kid and realized that WWE was just a show. I miss him and his character. I love the honor and respect you show to these performers especially the salute at the end.
Umaga, as stated in the video, was definitely the biggest recent star (probably along with R-Truth) to never win the title. It wasn't like he was someone who was barely on TV but he was a legit star so it's mind blowing why they never mentioned his passing on TV
That last image of all 12 wrestlers and the ring of the bell was heavy, this video was very well done thank you.
The fact that there was no mention of Jack Tunney's death blows my mind...
Great call I used to love the position b4 general manager title
@2:09 .....
@@NeeNee3210 he meant no mention by the WWE
Heck to add insult to injury, NO ONE went to his funeral
@@justinterry7853 I wonder what the falling out was about. Must have been pretty major.
It's sad to see that once you're no longer seen as valuable you get forgotten about by the company. Thanks Wrestlelamia for giving those individuals the 10 bell salute they deserved.
WWE finally knowledge Umaga after ignoring his death for more than 10 years. Although some of his family members like his twin nephews the Usos were using some of his moves especially the Samoan Spike even their dad Rikishi used that move to pay tribute for his late brother.
“When a wrestler dies Vince McMahon gets away with it” -New Jack
R.I.P Test and Umaga.
You will both be missed among ruthless aggression fans.😞
Matt Osborne's Doink was so far ahead of its time its crazy. In fact that was his biggest issue, as Vince McMahon didn't "get" his Doink, and as a result had the others who took over the character just play it like a straight clown.
Osborne's psychotic, creepy, evil clown character was legit one of the best and brightest parts of the New Gen, and WWE had no idea what they had.
I was a kid when Umaga was in his prime. I never got to truly appreciate his work back then. He was an amazing talent 🙏
I subscribed and hit the notification bell😀😃😄😍
I loved watching Umaga when I was growing up will admit I was scared of him tho lmao
DAMN BRO SAME HERE i always thought he died from cancer but not this smfh rip
I was devastated when I found out Sean O'Haire had passed away. He should have been one of the top men. He had the athleticism, the charisma, the look... He was the quintessential wrestler.
I'm a Sean O'haire mark and I 100% agree
i always thought they let him go because his swanton bomb made jeff hardy look like a child. compare the both of them.
rip, brother.
Thank you for commemorating these Hero's. They may be gone but never forgotten ❤
Rip brian pillman u are missed
It’s really sad when all the wrestlers who have passed away at a young age are put up on the screen together like that. You truly realize how short life is, and a lot of these guys have already been gone 15+ years. RIP to all.
Michael Lockwood's, aka Crash Holly's, death was acknowledged by WWE. While there was no RAW/Smackdown tribute show, those of us who watched the recap shows on Saturday and/or Sunday mornings, Livewire (hosted by Michael Cole, Jonathan Coachman and Marissa Mazzola) and Superstars respectively, found out about his death when those aired. They even played a small tribute video of him.
R.I.P Andrew Martin, Matt Osborne,Tony Halme,Chris Kanyon, Crash Holly,Viscera,Lance Cadeand, Raymond Fernandez, Sean O'Haire, and Edward Smith Fatu, we will never forget any of you.

It's really sad that the WWE did not recognize these guys. They gave their bodies to the industry only to not be given a small on-air tribute after their deaths.
Yes because all anthology series should do so.. right?
I understand not remembering Ludvig Borga, he was there for brief time and lived over 10 years before dying so there wasnt much of a connection to him and the show.
All of these wrestlers and more will all be missed. It's a real shame they deserved so much better
The sound of bells at the end of the video is really moving. Appreciate it brother!!
2:55 Kanyon was severely underrated. He was an innovator and a hell of a worker in the ring. A wrestler's wrestler. RIP to all of them.
I loved his stupid Mortis gimmick character in WCW. It was a cool look and had cool moves and style.
Badda Bing Badda Boom Badda Bam! Jersey Triad were actually entertaining! Kanyon got buried after the WCW buyout. Damned shame. He could work in the ring and on the mic. Sad that him and Bigelow were both dead so young.

There are a couple exceptions on the list but there is a definite pattern to those that were not acknowledged: drugs and/or suicide. It is sad but it seems like they have a pretty consistent stance on those situations.
It has nothing to do with drugs it's who is best for publicity and who the company liked and ratings the WWE has drug addicts and guys who died of overdoses in the Hall of fame they have publicly mourned guys who were addicts and guys have died of overdoses it's all politics

And now New Jack is himself pushing angels off scaffolds with murderous intent... =/
Umaga’s Jeff Hardy feud was fantastic. I remember it well.
Yes and his feud with Bobby Lashley and Cena also
its stupid how wwe failed to properly recognize these superstars passing. Thanks for giving them the 10-Bell salute they deserved
Umaga was legendary and it really makes me sad they left him or anyone who passed unacknowledged

If there is ever a video that could be done that is flat out heartbreaking, its certainly this kind of video. All of these guys deserved more respect than they got. Very well produced. Thank you for showing the respect they deserve here.
R.I.P. to all the great Superstars we lost along the way 🥺🙏🏾🕊️🕊️
Thanks you for recognizing them RIP BROTHERS
The only one I knew of was Doink, seen him at a small local show when I was a kid and he was one of my 1st favorites I had in wrestling. I had no idea about Crash, Test, and Viscera. Loved their work growing up during the attitude era and it sucks they were pushed aside like this. Rest In Peace and thank you for the good memories.
I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one. It absolutely blew me finding out test died through a god damn TH-cam video many years after the fact.
i heard about Crash right after it happened and the word going around at the time was that he never overdosed but rather was so drunk or high or both that he fell asleep laying on his back but then he puked like that....and drowned
Had no idea Crash had died, figured he'd just retired. RIP, always liked him.
Same here man RIP
Crash went through one of my coworker’s closets when he was a kid because he was looking to buy the house
Same here.

They were my childhood heroes! I grew up watching Hulk Hogan, Randy "Macho Man" Savage, the Ultimate Warrior, Andre the Giant, The British Bulldogs, Dino Bravo, just to name a few.
Any wrestler that has entertained us, will never be forgotten.
I didn't know Test's passing till now. Rest In Peace legend.
One of my fav matches of his.. test vs brock lesnar
That’s why I haven’t watch him the old ones
I didn't know he passed till I seen this
@@stephanielee935 🤦♀️🤦♀️
O'Haire was special. He had all of the tools, and to this day I am still shocked that Vince never really pushed him a singles wrestler. He was a surefire star, and I am still in shock that it didn't happen. He was green, but he had barely been in the business a year when he got to WWE. He could have been really good if he had gotten more time.
I was actively watching either WWE or WCW from 1999 to 2004 when it was still airing in the UK on normal TV channels. And a few of these wrestlers were ones I had watched a lot. I remember when Crash passed away I think that was the first wrestler that had that I knew about and seen. Then I heard about Sean O'Haire and Chris Kanyon because I had been watching latter end of WCW. Used to get 4 PPVs and Heat and Test was like on EVERY episode of Heat. He was kind of one of the ones you'd have a crush on I was so sad when I found out he had passed.
I'm so old that I remember as a child back in the 70's Chief J. Armstrong. He was my favorite wrestler growing up. Nobody knows who he is.
Regardless of how they passed away, every wrestler should be given the respect and recognition they deserve. They give so much to the business and some give everything, they should be honored.
Damn that was legit heartbreaking 😔
Hey guys. You need to know this. This was one of the very best videos you ever put out. Thank you for bringing awareness to this.
Every wrestler that passed through that company should be given a 10 bell salute on TV. "But we would have to start every show if we did that" is what they would say. Good, maybe people would notice how dangerous this business is mentally and physically to all of the wonderful people we cheer for.
Just an amazing bunch of talent for a lot of guys I didnt even know had passed away....like thats crazy.
Never knew Test had even died!!! I remember seeing him a lot when I was young!
Thank you for the tribute. I know a lot of these guys just were on the wrong path....
Of all the things I've watched on your channel I have to give it to you for remembering and giving tribute to those the WWF refused to pay homage too.. Regardless of how they passed they were soldiers in your world of entertainment.. They deserve to be thanked, they deserve to be remembered.. They deserve better Vince..
It’s disgraceful Matt Osbourne has never been acknowledged as the original Doink by WWE.
They probably don't because they're use the character every now and then and it'll ruin it if they reveal the death of the original.
@@convictionnotice1 it’s still not right though.
Thanks for making this, so many of these guys die young. It's important they're remembered & celebrated.
It doesn't matter what happended in their past cause every single one of these superstars are LEGENDS no matter what
You use that word. I don't think you actually know what it means. And by using it with several of these wrestlers, you make the word meaningless, just like WWE does.
even though they may have passed away, the fans among our generations will never forget their legacy and careers.
You my friend, created a tribute these men deserved. Class act!
This is an amazing video. Between the music and how well you spoke about these wrestlers. Kudos mate.
As a kid I didn't liked Umaga but years passed and I realized how talented he actually was, he played the heel role so good and very agile for his size. I wished he actually became a world champion in his career. RIP all these great wrestlers
Thank you for the 10 bell salute at the end.
Bro,you made a beautiful tribute for these men. And I know they saw it, and they thank you.
I only vaguely remember Tunney but it’s unfortunate his death was overlooked considering what an important role he played
I still got my full set of WWF cards I bought off the shelf as a kid. Bravo, Tunney and Hercules are in that set. Good memories. RIP to all these stars.
And to all those struggling with addictions and other such demons.
To play the Devil's advocate, I think the WWE treated Viscera like that since Viscera's wife tried to sue them almost immediately after he died, blaming his work in WWE for his death.
That's sounds nice and good but he was a fan favorite and he made them alot of money.
Remember them. Say their names, shed tears, and remember. Do what we can as fans to keep their legends alive.
It's a little hard to be an older fan seeing the dark side of pro wrestling come to light. Could any of us have seen it at the time? Could we have helped in some way? It's ridiculous to feel this way considering how old I was at the time, but a little bit of guilt always pops up when I hear about the tragedies that affected so many of the athletes I used to watch.
At least this channel paid homage. Mad props and RIP to all of the entertainers mentioned
Test was one my favourite super stars growing up through the Attitude Era. I always think of Test when i saw Big Cass. R.I.P
Rest in peace to all these wrestlers who have died in the past but that last one Umaga upsets me the most I grew up watching him and there was so much more they could have done with him what what upsets me even more is I don't even see Umaga on 2K anymore
