Wrestler death | Wrestler Who Died

Pro-Wrestling is tough on every wrestler’s body. Hard-hitting matches, crazy stunts, constant traveling, hectic schedule, multiple surgeries- all things combined to ultimately take a toll on a wrestler’s physical and mental health.

Many a time, wrestlers either turn to medication, or other drugs and recreational stuff in order to overcome this. We might have come far from the days when steroid usage was common among wrestlers. But such times have resulted in many health complications and premature deaths of many wrestlers.

Here we are presenting a list of all the wrestler deaths due to any cause, the date, and the cause of those deaths.
