Unreal man......since he was going to make a comeback he was probably loading up like crazy and hitting the steel too hard. Pretty shitty.

A number of years back...I think it was in 95 or 96. He was preparing to make a comeback, and rumours were that he would do so in the WWF.
Due to a back injury, he hadn't wrestled for a few years.

Rick Rude died of heart failure, apparently brought on by pain killers he was taking (addicted to?). He died in his bed; he was in his early 40's.
Then again, you never really get the real story about such deaths in the paper.

I was upset over Rude's death- he was, in my book, one of the greats.
Owen Hart and Davey Boy are sore losses- Owen's star was rising, and he was a gifted wrestler.
Anyone remember Dino Bravo's death? Gunned down by mob hitmen in his Montreal home, around 1991 or 1992. He was a Great Canadian.
