Wrestling in general, and this wrestling circle in particular, has suffered terribly lately.

At one time or another Curt Hennig, Davey Boy Smith, Rick Rude and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart were all married to sisters in the famous Hart wrestling family.

So Hennig dies this week at 44. Rick Rude died in 1999 at 41 of a heart attack. Davey Boy died last year of a heart attack at 39 years old. As mentioned earlier on this thread, right before his death Davey Boy Smith was dating the wife of his ex-brother in law Bruce Hart. And the matriarch of the family, Helen Hart recently died of diabetes complications. Owen Hart died in 1999 at 34 years old in a wrestling accident. Brian Pillman, who was trained by the Hart family, died in 1997 at 35 years old of a heart attack.

Pillman died of an overdose I think. I was swapping forum messages on AOL with him before he died. He was always in character.
