Wrestling's Dark Side: Deaths, Injuries & Family Tragedy Explored

Have you ever wondered why the world of professional wrestling seems to be plagued by tragedy? The harsh reality is that death casts a long shadow over this industry, with performers often facing mortality at a younger age than their counterparts in other fields.

The year 2024 was a monumental one for professional wrestling, filled with triumphant moments like Cody Rhodes finally "finishing his story" and Sting's emotionally charged retirement match. Yet, behind the cheers and applause, the ever-present specter of mortality lingers. Outsiders often dismiss the sport, spouting the cliché that makes wrestling fans wince, failing to grasp the physical toll and the dedication these athletes pour into their craft. The line between entertainment and genuine risk is often blurred, and sometimes, the consequences are devastating.
