30 wwe wrestlers who died in the ring and committed suicide before the age of 40 Behind The Titantron Episodes (Wrestling Most Controversial):

1. Top 10 Female Wrestlers of Now
If we gaze across the winners of the last Money in the Bank matches in WWE within
the previous 3 years, you will see that all of them neglected to secure a spot in the
primary event. The three wrestlers who have won money in the bank at the previous 3
years are CM Punk, CM Punk back, and now Jack Swagger.
The problem with WWE's new concept is that they allow a wrestler who does not
have sufficient credibility nonetheless, to win the amount in the Bank match. What I
mean is that neither Punk nor Swagger were built properly prior to their big wins. If
they win, the crowd doesn't care and the fact that they were even world champions at
one point gradually dies out.
The first two winners of this game, Edge and RVD were properly built up prior their
win. To put it differently, they did have the correct credibility that a wrestler needs to
develop into a main event wrestler. And both of these did become main event
wrestlers following their triumph. Mr. Kennedy was also treading the right path, but
he had been released by WWE within an episode.
WWE can quickly turn this around by simply putting in more effort in building the
wrestlers before they actually win the briefcase. This season at Wrestlemania 26, the
real winner of the Money in the Bank match should have been Christian, or Kofi
Kingston. Both of them had the suitable building required.
I realise that WWE is simply making these wrestlers win these matches to be able to
grow the surprise rate of the fans. However, in the process, they're ruining these
wrestler's future principal event spots. When a wrestler's first effort in the main event
is awakened, then it is really difficult for WWE management to generate the fans take
the wrestler in the main event again.
This scenario can easily be turned around if the existing WWE management would
take off their lazy caps, and put more effort to creating prospective principal event
wrestlers. Hopefully, Vince realizes soon that the Cash in the Bank concept is
becoming ruined, and determines to do something about it himself.
Prior to Inoki's rise to fame, wrestling in Japan was little known outside of Japan.
Inoki showcased his talents all around the world for numerous years, and in doing so
he made audiences in America, in addition to several different countries around the
world, take notice of wrestling in Japan. Upon retiring as a supeurstar, Inoki has
remained in the wrestling business, as a wrestling promotor, and Inoki has revealed
himself to be a guy that has made a massive difference to professional wrestling.

2. Inoki's first sport was actually not wrestling, and instead he began his sporting career
as a baseball player. This was short lived, and from the age of 17, Inoki had a standing
in the Japan Wrestling Association, where he'd learn the trade where he would move
onto create a legacy. In the time he had been the protege of Rikidozan, who died due
to stabbing whilst in America. This left Inoki alone, and up till 1966, he fought in the
shadow of the bigger, stronger superstar, Giant Baba.
DID YOU KNOW? Antonio Inoki won the regional Brazilian championships in
Discus and Javelin, and then the All literary championships in both Shot Put and
Discus?
Inoki then went on to make Tokyo Pro Wrestling, and this was Inoki's first taste at
being the surface of a company. In this period of time that he gained much of his
expertise. Although this business was not moving ahead, other firms now became
aware of exactly what Antonio Inoki could provide to their businesses, and as a result
of financial problems in TPW, the company folded just a year after Inoki had began to
direct them. From here he returned into the Japan Wrestling Association, where he'd
started his wrestling career seven years earlier.
It was during his second stint in the JWA which Inoki first faced a celebrity that had
been held with high regard by enthusiasts in America, in the shape of a legitimate
wrestling superstar, Bruno Sammartino. He was now tagging with Giant Baba, and
through a tag match in which Bruno Sammartino was involved, Sammartino claims
that Inoki tried to "take" on him during a match, meaning that Inoki was landing real
strikes on Sammartino. Sammartino responded by beating Inoki, leading to Inoki
walking out to the match, clearly unhappy with the reaction from the then world
champion. However, at this stage in his career, Inoki was still learning a great deal
about the company, and he'd start to become recognized by wrestling fans from 1972,
when after being fired by JWA, he moved onto create Brand New Japan Pro
Wrestling.
Whilst in NJPW, Inoki stopped Bob Backlund's reign as WWF Champion, although
this reign isn't recognised. Under contentious conditions, Backlund regained the title
the next day. The championship belt has been provided back to Inoki, but he denied
the title and the record books show Backlund's reign lasted from 1978-83, despite the
fact that he lost the championship to Inoki, and the championship was empty for
fourteen months. Inoki has turned into a name being mentioned all around the world,
along with his martial arts career was taking off simultaneous to a similar taking off of
his wrestling career.
DID YOU KNOW? Antonio Inoki and Ric Flair fought in North Korea in front of a
presence of 170,000 fans, with Inoki being victorious over the "Nature Boy".

3. Inoki started his martial arts career by squaring off from Willem Ruska, the Olympic
judo champion in the Netherlands. On this occasion, Inoki was set through physical
torture throughout this game, almost falling victim to a entry defeat on many
occasions, as Ruska persistently secured on armbars and sleeper hold, but it was
Inoki's strength that won the "World's Top Martial Artist Deciding Match", as a result
of TKO following three consecutive back suplexes.
It was then time for its largest and most anticipated match in the history of mixed
martial arts, as Antonio Inoki went head-to-head against world champion boxer of the
time, Muhammad Ali. The game turned out to be an anti-climax, as Ali's camp
enforced numerous rules on Inoki, that the Western wrestler was limited to
performing slipping kicks for the entire match, and spent nearly the entire battle on his
spine, as he understood that the rules imposed on this game meant that Ali could not
throw a punch to Inoki whilst Inoki was down. Inoki had been three points upward at
the last bell, but had all three removed due to being penalised. Ali was hospitalized
after the fight, and Inoki was abandoned in an multi-million yen debt, and so was
forced to continue fighting mixed martial arts matches to repay it.
DID YOU KNOW? Muhammad Ali reportedly saw Inoki training because of their
game, and asked "OK, so when do we perform the rehearsal?" And afterwards Inoki
responded "No, no. This isn't a presentation. It's a real fight!" Ali subsequently went
on to enforce rules stating that Inoki could not tackle or throw Ali, and may just kick
him if among Inoki's knees was in contact with the mat.
Inoki fought twenty MMA fights in total, against leading opponents in all forms of
fighting. He fought the Olympic judo champion, the boxing world champion, as well
as the man that took the name from Ali, being Leon Spinks. He also took on Andre
the Giant, who claimed that Inoki didn't represent wrestling well during MMA fights.
Inoki responded by fighting Andre, and even back suplexing that the behemoth before
winning by TKO. Inoki just had one loss in the end of the MMA career, to Shota
Chochishvili, and Inoki set the record straight a month later by beating Shota by entry.
Antonio Inoki's MMA listing at the conclusion of his career is 16 wins (9 KO, 5
submissions, two hooks), 1 reduction (1 KO), 3 draws.
Inoki has since sold his 51.5 percent share in NJPW to Yuke's, and has established his
third wrestling company of his livelihood (Inoki Genome Federation). Inoki began
trading ability with TNA, together with superstars like 30 WWE Wrestlers Who
Died Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar holding the main championship belt of the brand,
the IWGP name. Inoki was also included in the WWE Hall Of Fame Class Of 2010,
which makes him the first Japanese wrestler to be inducted.

4. Inoki has been in charge of putting Japanese wrestling on the map, as well as kick-
starting combined martial arts, which today has a bigger fanbase than ever before.
Being inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame is just a little testament, to the huge mark
that Inoki has left on the wrestling market. I have been James D, and you've been
studying about the livelihood of the man responsible for New Japan
Pro Wrestling, and huge evolutions in Japanese wrestling and MMA.
Throughout the Attitude Era of the WWF from the 90's, it was always likely to be
problematic for a young celebrity to burst on the scene and earn a name for
themselves. But that is exactly what Andrew "Test" Martin failed, which was down to
his great athletic physique, coupled with his ability to make his presence felt when he
had been connecting with the fans. Martin captured the eye of WWF direction, and it
was from there that his livelihood became phenomenally huge, with fans from all over
the world realising his gloomy and tragic death in 2009.
During the 90's, Test met up with Bret "The Hitman" Hart and it was from here that he
made the choice to start training to join the WWF. With Bret Hart just recently
becoming a casualty of the Montreal Screwjob at this point, it appeared that he was
keen to get his own protege, in the kind of Andrew Martin, performing at the
company that he had been headlining PPV's for, within the past decade. As well as
from Hart, Martin also had help in creating his wrestling abilities from Dory Funk Jr.,
who also trained superstars such as Edge, Jeff Hardy and Kurt Angle, that had been
also breaking through at precisely the exact same time as Evaluation.
Test made his debut as a bodyguard, but soon after that he aligned with the WWF
Champion at the time, being The Stone.
This was a narrative that got Martin noticed instantly, and unlike the Hardy Boyz who
came through the ranks in a comparable time, Evaluation was getting a household
name overnight. This showed that WWF management recognised from early on this
Evaluation had the charm and in-ring ability required to compete at the ring with all
the best. In Summerslam 1999, Test defeated Shane McMahon to make himself the
right to marry Stephanie McMahon onscreen, which was the first indication that Test
was likely to be a main event fixture.
As Test was going to marry Steph, Triple H interrupted the union and declared that he
had already married her, backing this up with video proof. While he'd already been
thrust into the public eye by his engagement with the McMahon family, Evaluation
was now involved with a few of the greatest superstars in the time, and even to this
day, at Triple H.

5. During this time, Test developed his in-ring skills, in addition to his microphone
skills. This proved pivotal, as he would later go onto become one of the most
consistent superstars on the roster during the very prosperous era in the history of the
WWF. Subsequently, Test moved to the tag team division, in which he and Albert will
be handled by Trish Stratus, since they included a new, more powerful dimension to
the branch that has been dominated by large fliers before their birth.
Post-T&A, Test moved straight on the singles division, and once again he was
extremely successful, due to him being someone who could carry a game on his
shoulders, and still make it seem great to the fans. It was during this time that he won
the vast majority of his championships, including the Intercontinental, European and
Hardcore Championships. Despite him no longer being in the primary event picture,
this was the age in which Evaluation showed himself to be reliable in the ring and
onto the microphone.
During the biggest plot in the history of professional wrestling, that being the Invasion
storyline during 2001, Test moved back to the tag team division, this time with a guy
who had already established himself at WCW, Booker T. Test and Booker went to
win the WCW tag team titles on 2 events, on one point beating The Rock and Chris
Jericho, emphasising just how much that management trusted Evaluation at a high
level, by mixing him with three seasoned main eventers. He then went onto feud with
Edge, in one of the chief feuds of the entire narrative.
Outside of this 5-on-5 main event, Evaluation's game with Edge at Survivor Series
was among the most anticipated games on the card, and also these two superstars
justified this. Test would make onscreen immunity on that same night, since the WWF
recognised that having Evaluation remain on-screen over the forthcoming months,
before they started introducing everybody back into programming, would do nothing
to hurt their evaluations.
