10 Things You Notice Rewatching Beyond The Mat
8. The Sad Number Of People No Longer With Us
As it so often sadly the case with revisiting anything pro wrestling-based from decades gone by, it forever strikes a chord to see how many people featured back then are tragically no longer with us.
Whether it's going back to watch old WrestleManias, opting to soak in those Attitude Era memories, or taking a look into another wrestling period of yesteryear, it's heartbreaking when you get the realisation of just how many of the those guys and gals have unfortunately passed away - and often at extremely far too young an age.
Sadly, Beyond the Mat is no different on that front. From some of the wrestlers with a featured role in the documentary, to those seen only in fleeting glimpses of stock footage, the talent of Beyond the Mat who left us way too soon include Hawk, Animal, Brian Christopher, Chyna, Vader, Bam Bam Bigelow, Earthquake, Howard Finkel, Paul Bearer, Luna Vachon, 'Mean' Gene Okerlund, Grizzly Smith, APW founder Roland Alexander, Dennis Stamp, and Terry Funk's dear wife Vickie.
