#2 Adrian Adonis

Adrian Adonis

Adrian Adonis joined WWF in 1980 as a no-nonsense and rough wrestler. But WWF made him wear scarves, dresses, eye shadow, and pink dress to portray womanish "Adorable" Adrian Adonis. The fans hated him due to his actions and looks, but he played his part with absolute honesty.

Adonis was with fellow wrestlers in a minivan when the driver lost control of the vehicle while trying to avoid hitting a moose. The van fell into a creek. He died at 34.
