10 wrestlers who died before turning 40

E

#1 Eddie Guerrero 38

The wrestling business would’ve have been a lot different if most of the wrestlers in this list hadn’t died early, but the wrestler who could’ve made perhaps the biggest impact of all was Eddie Guerrero.

Eddie is known for his excellent in-ring skills, which were a combination of the technical and Mexican high-flying styles. But more importantly, he was a best friend to many, and the shoulder to cry on for Chris Benoit.

It is believed that Eddie’s death was a catalyst for Benoit’s murder-suicide controversy, as Benoit lost a great friend. And that’s the difference a single person can make to the whole business, which shows how interconnected everyone is in the professional wrestling universe.
