**Melena** · 2011-05-20 18:35

Yea, Luna was about 6 months ago. She legit scared me half to death as a kid with how big she was.

**AoE** · 2011-05-20 18:36

Yeah she overdosed. Made a joke about her at a party then we all got curious to see what happend to her and discovered she died last year. What's kinda sad is she was living with her mom and her mom found her dead.

Seems to be a trend with pro-wrestling and depression.

I was surprised as shit when my little brother told me the other day Ric Flair is still wrestling. Guy must be running on pure cocaine at this point.

Here's a link to wrestlers who have died before the age of 65 since 1985. It might be a little outdated though.

Reunited with miss elizabeth

Super Jail just featured a Macho Man head shaped bong. No idea if that was intentional.

**kuronosan** · 2011-05-23 00:56

Had no idea Chris Kanyon and Elizabeth both died. Texas Tornado (Kerry von Erich) was one of the von Erich brothers who died? Who were the others? Hell, I was even saddened when I heard Test died.

Man. I'm actually really sad Macho Man is gone. Besides the steroids, the dude was essential to my childhood.

Copy pasta from Wikipedia

The Von Erich family is a professional wrestling family. Their actual birth names are "Adkisson", but every member of the family that went into the wrestling business used the ring name "Von Erich", after the family patriarch, Fritz (real name - Jack).
Patriarch Fritz lived until his natural death, but 5 of his 6 sons died before him (3 by suicide). The oldest son, Jack Jr. died at the age of six. In 1984 David Von Erich died in Japan from acute enteritis of the upper intestine. Michael, Chris, and Kerry all committed suicide in 1987, 1991, and 1993 respectively. Mike died after taking an overdose of Placidyl. Chris shot himself in the head with a 9mm at his parents' home in East Texas. Kerry shot himself in the chest behind his father's house on Shady Shores Road. Kevin Von Erich is sole surviving child of Fritz Von Erich (Jack Adkisson) and Doris Adkisson.
The third generation of Von Erichs are in the process of forming, as Kerry's daughter Lacey Von Erich is now in the business, and Kevin's son Ross Von Erich is contemplating entering the squared circle himself.

**Qalbert** · 2011-05-27 19:10
