Stunned when I heard about Bray. RIP

RIP Bray one of the most creative guys in the history of the business

RIP Bob Barker - former guest host of raw (who was brilliant in the role too), not sure if he’s in the wwe hall of fame but will likely be the celebrity inductee in 2024 if he’s not.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

RIP Ole Anderson

It's bizarre, I was thinking of doing some fantasy booking stuff based on the mid/late 90s WCW, and was thinking of how I would re-work the Horsemen. I did like the iteration which included Malenko, Benoit and McMichael but I probably would omit Benoit from it due to reasons, and Mongo because he was far too green (I did like him at the time, but that was watching through an 8 year olds eyes lol)

Just seems one of those weird things when you think about something, then something related to what you thinking of happens.

Same thing happened to me when Hall died, I was watching his stuff then he passes away!

RIP Vincent

He'd been unwell for a while from I seem to recall

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

RIP Kevin Sullivan

 

[Valheru]

RIP

Not the greatest worker and best known for writing his own divorce.

Gave his life to the business though.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

RIP Sid Vicious

 

[Valheru]

Another one gone to soon

Very underrated worker. Not the greatest in ring but had epic Charisma. The way he had the MSG crowd in the palm of his hand at survivor series 1996 was a thing of beauty.

His character in 96/97 for me was terrifying. That entrance music would always give me chills, so went so good with his intensity.

It's a real shame about THAT leg break at the Sin PPV in 2001. I reckon he'd have continuously been in the championship merry go round until WCW ended. How he would have been used back in the WWE (if he went) would have been very interesting to see.

Real shame he hasn't been put in the HOF while he's alive.

Yep completely agree

Check out his work in JCP/WCW as part of the horseman in 1990/91 if you haven't already, that's his best in ring work IMO.

It's hugely disappointing he isn't in the hall of fame, he main evented two manias FFS.

RIP Sid. He had a few moments which became a meme but at his best was a great big man.

Fun fact: Sid is the only person to have more than one mania match and only ever appear in the main event.
