I was surprised WWE didn’t acknowledge Crash Holly’s death. It took me about a year to find out about it.
I'm pretty sure I found out watching the In Memoriam part ECW One Night Stand.
I just found out about it from the thumbnail.
I loved Crash as a kid. Something about a little small dude being a complete bad ass was awesome. I also really liked Spide Dudley too.
Jeff Jarrett can't let anyone know he's screwing his cousin
They acknowledged Crash Holly's death at a non-televised event the week it happened. In Poughkeepsie, NY before a Smackdown house show, they tolled the bell 10 times for him. (I was at that show, that's how I found out he'd died).
These wrestlers deserved to be treated better by wwe but then again I'm not surprised this is just another in long list of screw ups by wwe
These wrestlers didn’t even treat their bodies and health with respect
@@ITSHIM1294 so they don't deserve to be mentioned by wwe
You're also forgetting about Tom Zenk. They never acknowledged his death.
He’s dead??? He was so good!!!
@@spittinvenom9843 yeah. He died in December of 2017
@@supercool2999 I usually hear about most of these, but some do slip through, so I googled his career and he travelled around a lot and had some success, glad he died of natural causes because he didn’t strike me as a guy who had issues like a lot of them do, seemed like a genuinely good guy and I really liked the CA connection
It's worth noting Kanyon was bipolar. 'Struggling' just doesn't do it justice. I have the same illness. As does AJ Lee. As did Daffney.
Wait, AJ Lee has bipolar disorder?
@@WrestlingGod-f4v sure does
@@WrestlingGod-f4v yep. Bipolar 2, I have Bipolar 1. BP2 is more common with women, BP1 is more common with men.
Sorry to hear about that.
You can also put Luna Vachon in that category.
@@mikeburnette2190 yes she was also a very great wrestler and also underappreciated. She didn’t even deserve for what happened to her. God bless her soul. I wish she was still here.
That Bruno salute(2018) is crazy, you have main event Bobby Lashley and main event Braun Strowmen directly in front. Both of them only 2nd to Roman(in the mens division)
Thats crazy they both wrestle on Main Event nowaday.
Test had the absolute best running big boot ever
Damn good elbow drop too.
I agree. Getting the big boot over is one thing, but an elbow drop? Just goes to show although Test wasn’t the best worker, he sure did have a presence in the ring. Rest in power Andrew.
I remember thinking that he and Bradshaw would've made a great tag team with two of the most violent looking finishers ever...
@@jjfromthebigland781 imagine test big boot into jbl clothesline as a finish
By far.
I'll always question what exactly happened between Jack Tunney and WWE for them to distance the way they did.
Simple, with the gamblings debts and Vince McMahon no longer needing Keyfabe. He just dump the guy, because of his ego won't share the spotlight anymore
@@BeyondDaX still pretty weird that they wouldn't at least give him a mention or anything of that matter after he passed
@@BeyondDaX They never really stopped using on screen authority figures. He was basically the OG.
@@jefferyjones8399 Yeah, none of them were in the same 'ranking' that Jack was. The GMs were still just glorified assistants to Vince
@@andrewsd.r.7180 I do agree it's weird considering how many times they've inducted people that Vince didn't like very much. It could be that he passed before they were able to patch things up like Vince did with Warrior.
I loved how Crash would sometimes get into the ring. He'd climb up the ropes, go over the top and climb back down the ropes like they were a ladder...
😂
If Vince can't make $$ of your death he doesn't give a sh%t
Also missing are Umaga, Chyna, & Mike Awesome.
No wwe mentioned chynas death and umagas death and awesomeness death all on TV
They mentioned but without any tribute videos.
They mentioned it on a ticker running at the bottom of the screen. They did just mention Umaga on live TV. It was on a ticker
At least Chyna got acknowledged at the 2019 HOF and was inducted into it part of DX
Yeah I’m pretty sure they mentioned Chyna, but they ignored Viscera’s death initially until the backlash from fans then they gave him a package.
For the vast part of my childhood, I thought Jack Tunney was the WWF President. I had no idea he was just some guy Vince put in there, so I have always held him in great reverence. He felt...important. Sad to see he got no love after he passed. RIP, Mr. Tunney.
Jack Tunney should be in mainstream lexicon as the telegraphed NOT the real power authority.
@@sampleoffers1978 It was more complex. In a nutshell, Tunney (and his family) was running the Toronto Market and handed especially the Maple Leaf Garden to Vince - which allowed him more ir less taking over the rest of the Canadian Market. (Funny enough, when he was fired, Tunney took the right for Wrestling shows in the Garden with him, but the venue closed entirely in 1999)
I got into an argument with a kid on the school bus, who insisted that Jack Tunney was in charge and Vince McMahon was merely an announcer/host.
He also refused to believe that the wrestling was choreographed and the matches' outcomes were predetermined.
@@max__p1765 Left us speculating what Tunney got in exchange beyond the rass'l presidency figurehead
@@sampleoffers1978 At least the five words at the beginning of Ted DiBiases-entrance theme 😂
Honourable Mention must go to Umaga (Edward Fatu), The Former Intercontinental Champion passed away on December 9th 2009 from a Heart Attack brought on by a Toxic Cocktail of Prescription Drugs in his System, After he was Let Go on the 8th of June that year for Violating the Wellness Policy for the 2nd Time & Refusing to go to rehab by WWE, The Samoan Bulldozer received No Tribute, Much to the Outrage of fans.
I remember Jericho mentioning this on his podcast and I found it strange, especially since he claimed Vince was really distraught after he found out he passed.
i remember i googled Umaga one day cuz i was wondering what happened to him and if he was still wrestling, come to find out he had passed away a couple years earlier.. i was stunned, i couldn't believe they ignored it and didn't mention it, both of his runs as Jamal and Umaga were memorable
Also apparently Umaga and WWE made a deal in which he would return at the 2010 Royal Rumble, would've been interesting to see how that would've gone
Yeah still no clue why WWE never gave him a tribute
His cousin Rikishi wants WWE to include him in the Hall of Fame now - good luck trying
RIP, Crash, I remember him being wildly entertaining whenever he was on screen.
If I remember, Hercules got a graphic image when RAw aired.
Also, don't forget Doink(Matt Osborne), Luna Vachon, and Bastion Booger never got mentions.
Luna Vachon is in the Hall Of fame section with a complete bio page. But it doesn't mention how she passed away.
@@versansky75 Sorry for the delay, as I haven't checked this in a while.
Its true Luna's in the HOF, but she's in the legacy wing, not what majority of fans want.
I think that was more backstage politics.
@@versansky75 It was never disclosed but it's generally believed it was a drug overdose as she struggled with that off and on up until she passed away.
Man these people passing away are tragic. Rest in peace to those that passed away.
Yeah
They really do be passing away, it sucks when wrestlers pass away too
Mavens tribute to test was a nice tribute to him something wwe wouldnt of done
RIP Daffney 🖤
She was awesome
HUGELY under rated and under appreciated, there was only ONE Daffney!
Picture walking past her grave to hear
Laughing and cackling?😱
1:36 - Kerry Von Erich's passing was absolutely mentioned by the WWF in 1993. A year-end edition of WWF magazine had a series of "awards" for various WWF personalities. One of them was the "Gone but not forgotten" award, which was given to both Andre the Giant and the Texas Tornado "who both passed away in 1993." Notable here was that Dino Bravo was not mentioned. In contrast, Andre the Giant's passing was mentioned multiple times, including the first ever 10 bell salute on RAW, and was the inaugural/first inductee in the WWF Hall of Fame was it was launched in the spring of 1993.
So a year later
@@kryceksangel yes...well to be pedantic, about 9 months later
Chris Kanyon's lack of push, and the way he was treated post-WCW will never stop bothering me.
Amazing underappreciated talent.
I'm convinced that Chris Kanyon's lack of a push and the way he was treated in WWE after the sale of WCW was primarily because he was a WCW wrestler. (I don't doubt that his sexual preference played a role in how he was treated.) No denying he was talented and underappreciated in WWE.
@@stevegallo8483 I think you're mostly right. All the WCW guys got the shaft, but that Boy George parody where he got got the crap kicked out of him by Biker-Taker? That's was pretty suspect.
@worlds-in-conflict spot on. That chair shot to the head was so unnecessary and, to be honest, an utter disgrace. Seeing as Taker likes to talk on his podcast maybe he should explain himself.
The guy was bland and he never deserved a push. I never got why people loved him. He was just bang average.
@@kingeatking Looked like a generic Rhino to me as a kid.
WWE also failed to acknowledge Umaga's death
The guy behind the "Umaga" character Eddie Fatu is the brother of Rikishi and the uncle of the usos. Now he made a brief appearance in 2003 under the ring name Jamal as part of the 3 Minute Warning group. Then 3 years later he debuted under the ring name "Umaga". He fought many other wrestlers which included CM Punk in 2009. He was released in that same year after failing a wellness policy test that WWE implemented. He died on Friday December 4th 2009 at 36 years old. WWE failed to acknowledge Umaga's death because he was not under their contract
Uncle to Roman too
@@cherigreene3957 that's right yes thank you I forgot to include it in the comment
R.I.P Crash
Never forgotten. One of the most underrated wrestlers ever.
Its a little surprising that Mabel/Viscera wasnt mentioned until his wife pushed.
Crash Holly was remembered in WWE's ECW in 2005 during the video package that showed late great ECW members
Yeah they said that in the video
also 2 years 2 late
2 years 2 late though
@@tamzidmohsinkhan3333 remembered late but remembered nonetheless
@@AquaLeaderJesse TH-cam commenters try to finish the video before commenting challenge (Impossible)
Bruh I didn’t even know Vicera passed, wow.
Crash walking to ring holding the scale always killed me.
Lance Cade in a interview in 2010( the year he died) he said he was in pain and he would sleep one hour a night due to that and he said he doesn t wanna die , truly sad
When Chyna Died She Didn't Even Get A Ten Bell Salute And Then After Umaga Died He Didn't Even Get The Same Treatment.
Beyond messed up I’m just going to say it they never give a damn about any of them. Even their families never gave a damn
Chyna was especially sad. 😢
IRL Joannie Laurer was a very feminine and-for her size-remarkably dainty woman who wore skirts and makeup everyday. Vince Russo, though, made her into a bull dyke character who wrestled men, acted dominant and masculine, and degenerated herself on TV.
After WWE, she tried to work in other (women's) athletic pursuits, but because of her reputation and typecasting, nobody gave her a chance. The only work she could get-despite being a phenomenal athlete-was in a celebrity boxing match against Joey Buttafuoco.
The match (naturally) had to be stopped in the 1st round before he would have crippled her or worse. Apparently, everyone forgot that she was a woman. 🤦
Because she went into the sex business , and umaga was a useless drug user who REFUSED to get help,lied multiple times about it and was difficult about his drug taking for NO REASON,not really that surprising if you actually thought about it
@@zachall101 i’ve been thought about it for the last past fucking years now and another thing just because she used to put a fucking porn hub stripper or whatever the fuck that doesn’t mean people should treat her like shit and as for Umaga the dude had demons but I think he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame
@@zachall101 Plus after what happened to Chris Benoit when the WWE gave him a tribute before they learned all the facts about how he died maybe the WWE doesn't want to give tributes to a wrestler before they know how he or she died first.
Crash and Kanyon hurt me the most on this list. What an entertaining and hard working wrestlers.
❤
Test will always be one of my favorites, along with Kanyon and Sean O'Haire
Test was soooo underrated
Who betta than
❤
I remember WWE making a tribute for those who passed away in 2003. I remember Classy Freddie Blassie and Crash Holly there. They used My Immortal as the song
Yep, just looking for this comment. It also showed Mr Perfect throwing, chasing down and catching a football as part of the tribute. I think the tribute video was well done and remembered them well. However, the fact that WWE doesn't pay the respect that the athletes (who make their business successful) immediately after they pass away, is a tasteless joke. I thought after the night Owen Hart died, they would learn their mistake in terms of 'the show must go on' and instead remember the wrestler who died properly. And it doesn't matter if that person was a jobber or a champion, they keep the Business alive just as much as the fans who pay to see them.
I get people want entertainment, it's what they've paid to see, but like Bubba Ray Dudley said during the 10 bell Rick Rude tribute on ECW to a heckling fan - 'This Is Real F***ing Life'!
There's a difference.
@@chriskay1449 Not with Every wrestler though. I mean Vince really liked Umaga and yet showed no respect or tribute to him when he died
@@SuperDonny21I mean to be honest it’s a blurred line.. they probs have thousands of wrestlers in history. How do they decide who gets a whole tribute show or who gets a picture , etc. I feel like they should always post a graphic on socials but yeah the rest kinda depends .
I remember that!
What a bleak topic
Ludvig Borga was completely understandable. He was a very awful human being. Nobody, not even his wife had any sympathy when he passed away. That shows you how terrible he was as a human being
Ludwig Borga's death was no loss, infact it was well overdue
No he was a good guy and played a great heel in WWF/E
^ found the racist
@@rko1487 Good guys don't have Nazi tattoos.
@@rko1487 excuse you do realise the guy was openly racist and homophobic
Ludvig Borga died? I didn't know that.
The passing of Nature boy Buddy Rogers, the very first WW(W)F champion was not at all acknowledged
by the company when he died. Very shameful.
Wwe were really scum for most of these
They acknowledged Crash Holly's death at a non-televised event the week it happened. In Poughkeepsie, NY before a Smackdown house show, they tolled the bell 10 times for him. (I was at that show, that's how I found out he'd died).
Chyna was so hated they didn't even give her an honorable mention. Wow
She was no longer in wrestling when she died.
@@KentPetersonmoneybut it’s still kind of wild that they did ignore it considering her contributions to wwe but idk
Yeah they did her so dirty, she did a ton of important work for the company- only to not even get a simple 'thank you'
Crash was one of the greatest hardcore champions ever. The 24/7 challenge was too funny man could barely get any sleep. Everybody tried pinning him 😂😂😂😂.
crash couldn´t even get some sleep if he did someone pinned him and took the 24/7 title from him even spike dudley
Herc was only 47 when he died? WOW... I thought he was in his 40s in the early 90s. Hard living.
He still looked good sad though they look older than they are and sometimes pass away at a young age.
I still can't believe WWE did pay respect to Shad Gaspard with at least the greyed out photo after he SACRIFICED HIS OWN LIFE FOR HIS SON'S LIFE. And how is he not on this list?
They gave him The Warrior Award posthumously didn't they?
They paid tribute to him with the Warrior Award. What were they supposed to do in 2020 ? A video package with him singing “money money yeah yeah”?
@@ITSHIM1294 I was hoping for the greyed out face. There are people who bad no clue he passed until the Warrior award
@@TheBubbajoe7 read my above reply. Don't feel like sending it twice, sorry
@@Beast_the_smash_guy it was everywhere on WWE’s social media channels. They even uploaded some of his matches which is better way of paying tribute than a greyed out face
WWE actually did make a tribute video for all the wrestlers who passed in 2003, Crash was in the video
I can't help but sigh and shed a tear. It's just truly sad. We only get one go at this game of life. To lose it so early for such pain and hurt. To anyone out there remember your never alone. Find help, talk to someone, do whatever you can !!! Life is just to precious. Don't ever give up!!!
You are a good person :)
I wont shed a tear for Borga. Had WWE eulogized him they would be called n4zi-sympathizers, something they already somewhat face criticism for b/c they keep hiring so many people who cant seem to keep certain political opinions to themselves.
As a Finn, it sucks that the only wrestler we’ve had in any major promotion is Halme. Glad he’s gone, good riddance.
I forgot all about Lance Cade passing. This one definitely went under the radar.
He's one of those guys that I always expected to be bigger
I had no clue untill now
I think there's more than 10
Yeah, and I know what you’re talking about
wrong about KVE, his family, mainly kevin asked macmahon and associates to keep his brothers and other family members deaths out of the news. People dont realize how loved the were and still are. Things are handled differently in Texas. show some respect.
LOL
Loved Crash Holly...so underrated! 👍🏿
Bt of you're samoan you get that 10 star treatment!
Even inducting rocks mom when she never set foot in the company 😭😭😭
Personally I think these were more of Vince ignoring them and making the company follow suit, because when Brodie Lee died, you know damn well that Vince DID NOT want to acknowledge him after that tongue and cheek spoof Brodie did of Vince
Surprisingly it wasn't mentioned in this video, or did I miss it?
This is why Vince is heartless
@@JaimeD. Brodie actually was acknowledged by WWE, most notably by Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods during Smackdown (or RAW, I can't remember) wrestling fans and fellow wrestlers basically had to twist Vince's arm to the point of breaking for Brodie to be mentioned
@@tamzidmohsinkhan3333 A real mfr.
@@daltonpinell6251 I believe they also waiting a bit before doing a proper tribute for the man because he was in AEW and wanted their tributes to go first as to not clash, since it's supposed to celebrate his life.
Ludvig Borga didn’t deserve a mention on TV. Horrible people shouldn’t be celebrated.
If you have a SS tattoo I'm ok with you not being given any recognition after your death.
I guess he followed his leader. 😉
Same to you
Omg I didn't even know Crash wasn't with us anymore. Wow. R.I.P. to him and the others on this list.
Woh, 2:11
Davey Boy looks like Mike Awesome for a second here.
😄👍
I always that they and Brutus Beefcake looked alike
@@AnAdorableWombat1 oh yeah, they really are kinda similar. Never thought about Brutus.
😄👍
Really appreciate Crash being #1 on the list, honestly, it was years before I found out about his passing, and I always enjoyed his work with WWE a hell of a lot.
grandmaster sexay(jerry the king lawlers son) died, he was murdered while in jail and they framed it to make it look like a suicide to remove their own culpability, i don't think WWE ever mentioned it
There is no evidence or proof of that. It was suicide.
There is no evidence they "framed it". He did it to himself, Jerry ended up suing because they had specifically told him he'd be closely monitored to avoid that happening.
Cultaholic, I am a bit shocked there was no mention of Crush on the list.
Though, considering the timing of his passing it was understandable.
“Who’s better than Kanyon?”
Nobody
RIP to Eddie Guerrero
Never knew Linda McMahon responded so callously when hearing about Lance Cade's death. Just abhorrent.
Also, Test not getting eulogised by the 'E is shocking
It’s incredibly disgusting.
@@multiyapples it really was and showed you how cold-hearted of a person she truly is
@@mattalan6618 She was running for office. She didn't have time to care about people.
@@patrickdepew4976 thats no excuse for he to be a cold-hearted bitch either
i guess it was a little cold but i can also believe that she did only meet him once. its not her company and she was focused on her own career after her on screen role diminished (which was before cade was even in ovw let alone on the main roster). i really dont see any reason for adam to say she was lying in her statement as she only ever really worked closely with main eventers anyways. if your spouses employee dies and someone asks you about it what would you really say other than "i didnt really know them, but its terrible that they died". she left out that second part but i dont think it came out of any bad nature.
I really liked Kanyon, but his sexuality story changed too many times, he didn't help anyone.
Wwf talked about Kerry’s death in one of the wwf magazines , not sure what issue tho ?
It was said that Test didn’t kiss ass or follow directives quietly. Basically, the same as Shawn Michaels but did not have the same clout.
Shawn kissed the right asses. Big difference.
@@A_TH-cam_Commenter sounds about right base on what I’ve heard. He was not liked by many. Now, he is allegedly a big time Bible thumper.
The Von Erich family had the unfortunate occurrence most male members back in the classical days of professional wrestling dying too early. 😔
Six sons from that family, five of them died quite young:
* Jack Adkisson, Jr.: Died in a very freak accident at the age of six that involved an electric shock and falling face first into a puddle of melting snow. (Adkisson was the actual family name, and he was named after his father, who would become known as “Fritz Von Erich” in his wrestling career.)
* David Von Erich: Died in 1984 under mysterious circumstances during a tour of Japan. The official cause of death was given as “enteritis” (inflammation of the small intestine), but many suspect he may have died of a drug overdose. He was just 25.
* Mike Von Erich: Died in 1987 from suicide via overdose at the age of 23.
* Chris Von Erich: Died by suicide in 1991 at the age of 21.
* Kerry Von Erich: Mentioned in this video, died by suicide in 1993 at the age of 33.
The birth order, by the way, is as follows: Jack, Kevin, David, Kerry, Mike, and Chris.
The Von Erichs sadly called as the Kennedys of Professional wrestling.
I mean if WWE acknowledged some of these deaths, they’d have to acknowledge their hand in the deaths.
If Test was a steroids abuser it was nobody’s fault except his.
@@ITSHIM1294 definitely not in a company with a history of encouraging it.
@@jackryan444 Just curious as to how you feel that WWE played a role in these deaths when none of these people were in the company at the time? Drugs and alcohol are a PERSONAL choice along with crime (Dino Bravo and Kerry Von Erich).
@@korywilliamsO.G.1 sure… but when the company pushes an entire couple generations of workers into certain habits, it’s worth noting that even if they technically died after their time with the company. WWE isn’t to blame for everyone’s choices… but a few definitely are the fault of the company.
@@jackryan444 Curious again, which few do you feel are definitely, as you put it, the fault of the company?
I liked Cade and Murdoch tag team
I remember watching crash holly as a kid, I love seeing them on screen, I had no idea He was dead until many years later, I don't understand why WWE Did that to him, It still makes me sick.
I met Crash Holly's brother at a show. He got my Mom's poster sized Undertaker Drawing autographed. My sister had dropped her Painting of Kane over a rail and he retrieved that as well. My mom had grabbed a random dude to look for me in the bathroom at the Arena because i used a different set of Bathrooms. He turned out to be Crash's Brother.
I love cultaholic
Jack Tunney deserved better. No one from WWF showing up at his funeral is beyond sad
Sad but typical.
Considering he left the company on bad terms it's not surprising. Sad but not surprising.
Dino Bravo’s death was definitely brutal. I heard he was shot seven times in the head. Talk about overkill 😬
Mafia does not mess around.
Given his line of work, and from my understanding of it, it seemed like it was to send a clear message and overkill is certainly a way to describe it
Over smokes wtf??? He was a god in Montreal wrestling, a Quebec legend
@@spittinvenom9843 we mean the way on how he died
@@andrewsd.r.7180 my cousin who is a lifelong Montreal native told me Dino was expecting the visit, no coincidence his family wasn’t there (part of the deal), he was a legit old school tough guy strongman
What about Shane O'Haire?
For once we get the respect shown for nelson fraizer jr
First ever Black King Of The Ring Winner and never gets mentioned for it.
@@PeaceDweller not to mention with some hardcore title matches i seen with him in. A 450 hard hittin big badass
RIP Umaga.
He should've beaten Cena for the Wwe championship.
RIP to everyone else on this list as well. It seems as if Vince only acknowledged the wrestlers who he deemed important to his pockets.
Lmao Umaga what?
@@ITSHIM1294 should've beaten Cena for the wwe title.
@@cchisolm92cc oh sorry. I thought you were kidding for a second but apparently you’re serious; marks and their fantasy booking lmao
@ITSHIM1294 Like ya, Daddy was a mark for ya mammy.
BS. There was a video package about Crash Holly alongside Freddie Blassie, Road Warrior Hawk and others on Raw in late 2003
I BET most people don't even remember Jack Tunney!!
Crash was better than Bob within the first 2 months of them working together. His spot was never going to have the longest run but he made good on it for a very long time. The scale gimmick was great.
When Vince dies later this year I wonder if they'll put anything up on him
How do you know it'll be this year?
WOW, chill Out Nostradamus
Considering he's banished from WWE I doubt it.
Test was Next in line but triple he’s obvious sacrifice cause of Stephanie McMahon
The biggest two WWE ignored should on been on here…
Umaga👍& Brian Adams AKA Crush👊
I agree with you.
Crush didn't get recognized because his death was smack in the midst of the Benoit tragedy.
Kerry Von Erich was the GREATEST WRESTLER EVER I think..
sad no one from WWE showed up to Tunney's funeral
It’s messed up he must’ve treated him like shit
@@WrestlingGod-f4v we may never know
@@WrestlingGod-f4v you aren't far off on that. From what I've heard he wasn't liked by a lot of people
@@mattalan6618 who are we talking? Jack Tunney or someone else and I only asked because I forgot what we were talking about and I forgot who do you mean by that?
did wwe acknowledge the death of Brian Christopher?
RIP Owen Hart and Chris Benoit
I mean during some of these deaths , the wwf was trying to be more....pg or tv friendly.
So to learn about their stars deaths via mob ties, drug ODs and suicides kinda puts a damper on those things so i can see why
And ludvig
Test should have been way bigger. Shame he never got the credit he should have. Being part of the Corporation, Union and potentially a feud with Hunter.
He was doomed the moment they decided to go with the Triple H/Stephanie storyline. They weren't going to have him go over Hunter at that time, which was a defensible position, so he was always going to look like a chump, unfortunately. It just seemed like they'd only ever let him go so far throughout his initial run. But the ECW run was pretty bad. He was obviously over-roided and not nearly as good.
He was supposedly difficult to work with and pretty stiff
@@patrickdepew4976 Agreed, but they could have had a nice feud with him and Hunter. They could have come up with something like she planned for it all along and Test comes out as the face at the end after everything.
He wasn’t THAT good unfortunately. That’s why they did Vince vs HHH at Armageddon 1999
Sherri Martell died during the week of the Beniot murders/ suicide & wasn't mentioned😢
Sherri was mentioned on Raw by Jim Ross.
Wow
Okay I get I am really old and todays Fans cant really be expected to even know who Hercules Hernandez was , but he was a good worker and a WWE staple back in the day and while he may have never won "the Title" he was a legit Contender and threat and it's a disgrace he isnt in the WWE HoF as well as him not being acknowledged on his passing , doubly so because the reason he wasnt was primarily so Vince could "cover his ass" over the steroid scandal .
Kanyon was another of the abuses that Undertaker committed but that is never mentioned because he did not want to stain his legacy
Boo hoo
How did he abuse him?
@@chad12345678 unprotected chair shoots.
@@chad12345678 causing him brain concussion
I think there was mention of Kerry Von Erichs passing in that months WWF magazine. Only a very small article though.
I had to look at that thumbnail twice to realize who it was lol 🤣
I thought Brian Adams/Crush would be on this list
Jack Tunney was the one that angered me the most when he wasn't mentioned. He was a very important figure in one of the hottest points in WWF's history.
Then we look at how AEW honoured Jon & Jay's death. With pure honour and even helping the families financially. TK fought againist Warner to get Mark on TV to honour his brother. Very proud of them.
Crash was a great MFer
A (admittly rather petty) correction. In 1993 WWF magazine published an article listing " Slammy" award winners. One of these awards was the "may they rest in peace" award. Which went to both Andre the Giant and Kerry Von Erich. Strangly Dino Bravo was not acknowledged.
The WWE doesn't mention a lot of there wrestler who died
Kanyon was awesome! One of the most underutilized talents WWE ever had
Really!? The audience never cared about the guy.
@@kingeatking he was over in WCW and his offense was innovative especially for his time. I grew up watching him and know how good he was away from Vince
@@hutrod7721 I remember watching him in WCW as well and he definitely wasn't that over. He just never came across as a main eventer. He was a solid performer but was never the guy to put asses in seats.
@@kingeatking dude shut up and show some respect
@@kingeatking that is a dumb ass opinion in a dumbass hot take he was over and he was great and he would’ve been world champion, in WCW if it never went out of business so I think you’re just talking out of your own ass right now so next time don’t talk just shut the hell up
Canyon trying to blame his deviant lifestyle for being fired rather than the fact that he complained about his contract qording and wasn't over enough to make him worth that hassle
Shad Gaspard and Bad News Brown RIP KINGS
