Remembering WWE superstars

There have been many WWE Superstars that have dominated over the years but passed away. A good example would be Michael "Hawk" Hegstrand. Michael Hegstrand better known as "Hawk" dominated over all of the other tag teams with his partner Joe "The Animal" Laurinatis. Animal and Hawk were awesome tag team partners and they were so good that they ended up winning all of the major tag team titles in the history of the WWE. Hawk then died from heart failure in late 2003. Animal's son is now a really good college football player who should be getting drafted into the NFL really soon. Another good example would be Eddie Guerrero. He was good in both tag team and singles matches. He won tag team titles with Chavo Guerrero, Chris Benoit, and Rey Mysterio. He probably would have won the Tag team titles with Batista if he was still alive today. Eddie Guerrero also won the WWE Championship from Brock Lesnar at a certain pay per view which I can't remember the name. Eddie Guerrero passed away from heart failure in late 2005. It's also known that Eddie Guerrero was scheduled to win the World Heavyweight Championship from Batista at the time of his death. Anothe unforgettable WWE Superstar would definitely have to be Chris Benoit. Chris Benoit better known as the Rabid Wolverine was very dominant when he wrestled. Chris Benoit won Titles in just about all of the Wrestling leagues that he wrestled in. He also won the Tag Team Championship with Eddie Guerrero like I mentioned earlier. He had a good long 22 year wrestling career and would still be dominating in the ring if he were alive today. At Wrestlemania 20 Chris Benoit made Triple H tap out to the Crippler Crossface to get his victory for the World Heavyweight Championship. Chris Benoit ended up getting drafted from Smackdown to ECW in the 2007 Draft Lottery Picks. Benoit would probably have won the ECW Championship but in June of 2007 Chris Benoit commited a Double Murder Suicide on his family killing both his wife and son then himself. Chris Benoit is still remembered by WWE fans all around the world today. I doubt that anybody will ever forget, Hawk, Eddie Guerrero, or Chris Benoit aka "The Rabid Wolverine." I hope that reading this article reminded you of some awesome wrestlers that have passed away during the years. Hopefully I will be writing more articles about Wrestling very soon. Another wrestler that I really miss is Bam Bam Bigelow. I don't know much about him but I know that he was a very dominant wrestler. Well that's all I have to say about this subject.
