<<BACK TO WRESTLING-NEWS.com REMEMBERING THOSE WE LOST Reported by Anthony DeBlasi December 20, 2003 I received quite a few requests to post the list of wrestlers who passed away in 2003. If I am missing anyone, please email me webmaster@wrestling-news.com. This list is in chronological order: Please credit Anthony DeBlasi, Wrestling-News.com Webmaster, if using this research: Naoto Morishita The Sheik Ox Anderson Curt Hennig Audie Hager Michiaki Yoshimura Tony Altimore Sailor Art Thomas Kodo Fuyuki Bruiser Brian Cox Les Kellet Ray Mendoza Babs Wingo Jackie Nichols Kurt Von Poppenheim "Miss Elizabeth" Elizabeth Hulette "Classie" Freddie Blassie Core Jack Curran Danny Johnson Mickey Gold Tug Wilson Giant Ochiai Marva Scott Great Antonio Pitbull #2 Anthony Durante Frank Zela Chip Douglas Stu Hart "Road Warrior Hawk" Michael Hegstrand Floyd Creatchman Mitsu Hirai "Crash Holly" Michael Lockwood Dick Hutton Joey Rossi Moondog Spot "The Wall" Jerry Tuite Mike Anthony "Lozansky" Here's another list I've been working on. Jerry Tuite recently passed away, and left us way too soon as he was only turning 36 years old. I researched and complied a list of wrestlers who passed away the same age or younger than Jerry Tuite. Of course if I'm missing someone, please email me webmaster@wrestling-news.com. Some on the list might surprise you.  Adrian Adonis 34 Gary Albright 36 Shiochi Arai 36 Art Barr 28 Jimmy Beal 26 Basil Bozinis 26 Yukon Braxton 24 Bad Business Brown 31 Elmer "Pet" Brown 36 Carnage (James Eggelston) 22 Dave Casanova 35 Dennis Clary 31 Sir Dudley Clements 28 Rocky Columbo 35 Core 29 "Bruiser" Brian Cox 33 "Slick" Robbie D 32 Chip Douglas 19 Chris Duffy 35 Bobby Duncam Jr 34 "Pitbull #2" Anthony Durante 36 Eric The Animal 34 Espanto I 35 Masakazu Fukuda 27 Ed "The Bull" Gantner 31 "Hotstuff" Eddie Gilbert 33 Russ Haas 27 Owen Hart 34 Gino Hernandez 29 Lance Idol 32 Sangre India 23 Super Destroyer (Scott Irwin) 35 Jerry "The Wall Tuite 36 Emiko Kado 23 Kasavubu 26 Andy Kaufman 35 Eric Kulas 22 Pierre "Mad Dog" Lefebvre 30 "Big Daddy" Eugene Lipscomb 31 Michael "Crash Holly" Lockwood 32 Yuel Lovett 28 Mike Anthony "Lozansky" 35 Joe Lynam 31 Randy Mansfield 23 Plum Manko 29 Joey Marella (Referee) 30 Bull Martin 34 Moondog Lonnie Mayne 34 "Quick Draw" Rick McGraw 30 Billy McGuire 32 Mark Mendian 20 Wayne Munn 35 Tony Nash 30 Giant Ochiai 30 "Oklahoma Kid" (Elmer Gearlds) 30 Brian Ong 24 Oro (Jesus Hernandez) 21 Jerry Oski 32 David "DJ" Peterson 33 Scott Peterson 31 "All American" Jeff Peterson 22 Brian Pillman 35 The Renegade 33 John Ruffen 23 Buzz Sawyer 32 Iben Seleem 27 Shane Shamrock 23 Bobby Shane 29 Big E Sleeze 22 Haru Sonada 31 Louie Spicoli 27 Stanley Stasiak 36 Ric Stuart 32 Neil Superior 33 "Kelly Tabor" 28 Chris Taylor 29 Rudger Terry 28 Chief Thunder Mountain 33 John Tunney 32 "Delicious" Dave Vicious 32 Chris Von Erich 21 David Von Erich 25 Kerry Von Erich 33 Mike Von Erich 23 Baron Von Heisinger 33 Clarence Whistler 29 Princess White Dove 28 Jeanette Wolfe 18 Tex Wright 28 Mr X (Douglas Scoggins) 30 Yokozuna (Rodney Anoai) 34 Jay Youngblood 30 Thank you to all the various almanacs for this information in order to comprise this list. This list should be complete and goes back from 1890 to the present. Some are going to interpret this list in different ways. Some will say this list is surprisingly small, others will say that many died over the last 15 years. However you view it, let's just hope we don't have to update this list frequently.
