Dynamite Kid – Unknown
Tom Billington aka the Dynamite Kid is another sad story, though it did not start that way. He was among the most popular wrestlers in the 1990s and became a superhero in many children’s eyes. After he retired in 1996, his life took a turn for the worse, and he suffered a lot of health problems, including a severe stroke back in 2013. Though he sought treatment, he practically became a shut-in person, and to make matters worse, the injuries he sustained during his professional career are now causing him problems, as well.
Matt Cappotelli
Former OVW Heavyweight Champion, Matt Cappotelli is another wrestler who rose to fame through the series WWE Tough Enough. Unfortunately, he got diagnosed with cancer. The brain tumor he had kept growing, so he had to get a risky operation. The two-hour operation he underwent was partly successful since the doctors needed to leave part of the tumor that was very risky to operate on. He died in 2018 because of that part.
