big daddy never really recovered from his episode of when he sat on one of his opponents and actually killed them.
My apoloigies, it was the 'belly splash' that killed his opponent.
'In August 1987, Big Daddy bowed out of the professional wrestling spotlight after a turn of events during the final moments of the match against Mal "King Kong" Kirk. After Big Daddy had delivered his belly-splash, rather than selling the impact of the finishing move, Kirk turned an unhealthy colour and was rushed to a nearby hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival. Despite the fact that the inquest into Kirk's death found that he had a serious heart condition and cleared Crabtree of any responsibility, Crabtree was devastated and nevertheless blamed himself for Kirk's death. He continued to make sporadic appearances into the early 90s, but eventually retired from wrestling to spend the remainder of his days in his hometown of Halifax.'Last edited by el duder; 11 July 2007, 09:44.

Shouldn't Pat Roach be on that list too?
Met him a few times, bought some memorabilia off him. Was sat with him once at Hopwood Services on the M42 in the diner. Three lads trundled over asking if he was Pat Roach to which he replied "No ...... Now f*** off i'm busy."
Very amusing.
