10 wrestlers who passed away in 2018

#3 Dynamite Kid (5 December 1958 – 5 December 2018)

Dynamite Kid may be the most underrated legend in wrestling history. Long before the age of high-flyers, Dynamite Kid brought it in a way that had never been seen before. He was a wrestler who was far ahead of his time, but his style of wrestling caught up to him and by the end of his career, he had lost a leg and was partly paralyzed.

He had several health issues through the years ended up catching up to him and he spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. Though his exact cause of death isn't known, it likely was a culmination of all the issues put together.

#2 Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart (February 8, 1955 – August 13, 2018)

Jim Neidhart was an icon and an integral part of the Hart Foundation in both runs. It's hard to imagine the Golden Era and New Generation Era without him. He undoutbedly stands as one of the greatest tag team specialists of his generation and his contributions to the business will never be forgotten.

He had suffered a seizure on August 13th when adjusting the thermostat. He fell to the ground and that was reportedly what killed him. Though EMTs arrived on the spot quickly, it was too late to save him.

He has been honoured by his family, friends and peers.
