10 ECW Stars Who Died Too Young
2. Hack Myers
Donald 'Hack Myers' Haviland wrestled for ECW from 1993 to 1996. He was never a major star but was a firm cult favourite, wrestling mainly undercard matches. The 'Shah of ECW' faces a host of top names like Sabu and Chris Benoit but was never able to best them.
As well as his time in ECW, he also wrestled extensively on the Florida independent circuit and turned up in WCW and WWF to work in an enhancement role on shows like Worldwide and Shotgun Saturday Night. Towards the end of the 90s he began training wrestlers, including former TNA and WWE star Tyson Tomko.
The journeyman performer retired in 2011 but the effects of a career in the ring lingered and he underwent brain surgery in November 2015. Sadly, just a few weeks later he died of complications of that surgery, two days away from his 42nd Birthday.
