WRESTLING BABYLON: List of 11 Wrestlers Under Age 50 Who Died in 2007
(See also: “Why Wrestling Dodged the Congressional Bullet”)
I’ll go out on a limb here and predict that no more pro wrestlers under age 50 will die in the last three days of 2007. If so, the number will hold at 11. The appendix of my book Wrestling Babylon listed 89 other performers from 1985 through 2006 who didn’t make it to their 50th birthdays. That study was far from complete, but it occurs to me that our little corner of wrestling necrology has now counted an even 100.
