10 most shocking suicides of WWE superstars

Suicide never was, is not and never will be a remedy.You would think professional wrestlers, being larger than life characters, would be aware of this fact, but there have been several episodes that prove otherwise. The wrestling business has seen a lot of tragic incidents of wrestlers taking their own lives, and each of those stories shocked everyone to the core.All the critics point towards the problem drugs and the hard hitting blows that a wrestler takes during his career as the reason for the suicides. And while these are valid reasons, we can never truly know what the motives are in the context of the bigger picture.There have been many such cases throughout WWE history, and here is a look at some of the most tragic ones from the lot.

#10 Chris Von Erich

You are going to see a lot of Von Erichs in the list. They were a prominent wrestling family back in the 80s just like the McMahons and the Harts, but tragedy struck them hard.

Chris was the youngest and wanted to become a wrestler just like most members of his family. He wasn’t as big as his brothers and suffered from asthma throughout his teenage years, but despite all the odds, Chris made his debut in 1990. By that time, three of his brothers had already passed away.

Chris grew increasingly sad about his brothers deaths and his career only lasted one year as he shot himself in the head just days before his 22nd birthday.
