Of the 51 Participants From Wrestlemania 7, a Staggering 14 Have Died Prematurely

It’s looking like perhaps Wrestlemania VII was cursed. It took place in 1991 (at a time I was just losing interest in the “sport”). It featured the reunion of Macho Man & Miss Elizabeth and the debut of the Undertaker (he beat Superfly Snuka). In all, 51 wrestlers took part. Fourteen of them are already dead. A list to make you queasy after the jump.“The Texas Tornado” Kerry Von Erich – died at 33 from suicide one day after he was “indicted on a drug charge for prescription forgery”
Dino Bravo – died at 44, shot to death in a hotel room
Andre the Giant – age 46, congestive heart failure
Joey Marella – died at 31; fell asleep at the wheel
