WWE's Handling's on Wrestlers Deaths

Jacob WaringJun 18, 2010

As wrestling fans we are used to hearing the news of a wrestler dying. It comes with theย territoryย when being a pro-wrestling fan.ย 

The way wrestlers are honored by their wrestler promotion varies greatly depending on the wrestlers popularity,ย politicsย of theย promotion, and the manner that theย individual died.ย 

The issue with the honoring of wrestlers deaths is that itย variesย too much that it ends up being unfair. Umaga and Test were notย mention at all during Raw and Smackdown as they both got no tribute video package.ย ย

Owen Hart and Eddie Guerrero both got tribute shows where their fellow wrestlers spoke on their behalf and video packages were shown and had a ten-bell salute.ย 

Chris Benoit had a three hour raw show cancelled in order to pay tribute to his life in an emptyย arena.ย 

Caption Lou Albano simply got a video packageย announcingย his death and showed the highlights his career.

Theย inconsistencies with honoring the death of wrestlers through out the years are unfair in my opinion. Why is it that Lou Albano gets a video package and Test is onlyย mentioned on WWE's website? Why doesย Eddie Guerrero get a tribute show and Umaga is onlyย mentioned on WWE's website?

In my view both Test and Umaga deserve as much as a tribute asย Lou Albano andย Eddie Guerrero. Test and Umaga gave up their time with their families and worked theirย assesย off for the WWE.ย 

Iย believe that the WWE should payย tributeย to recently deceased wrestlers the same way regardless ofย whether or not they were main wrestlers or low carders on their respective shows. Also regardless of theย companyย politicsย as-well.ย 

This is what the the tribute should be. At the start of the show they should haveย someoneย in the middle of the ringย announcingย the passing of the wrestler. He then asks everyone to stand for aย ten-bell salute and show a video package highlighting their career and video message from other wrestlers concerning about the deceased wrestler.

I hope it will be years beforeย anotherย one of our beloved pro-wrestlers die from any means. When that day does come I hope WWEย management pay their proper respect by doing more then posting the news of the wrestler passing on their website.
