3. Yokozuna, Green Hills Memorial Park, Rancho Palos Verdes, Los Angeles County, California, USA
A two time WWF Champion and a genuinely great big man worker, Yokozuna was an unforgettable WWF character from the early 1990's. Whether it was main eventing Wrestlemania 9 AND Wrestlemania 10 or his entertaining tag team with Owen Hart, Yokozuna was always a legitimate WWF star. The problem was, his weight was increasing to the point of danger as the decade wore on. His size had made him a star but it eventually halted his career. The big Samoan was unable to pass WWF and Athletic Commission physical examinations, leaving Vince McMahon no choice but to terminate Yokozuna's contract in 1998. Despite the physical problems, Yokozuna continued to work on the indie circuit. It was while appearing on a European tour that he died of fluid in the lungs. He was aged only 34 in the year 2000 when medics found him dead in the Moat House Hotel, Liverpool, England. He now rests back in the States, his memorial at Green Hills Memorial Park in Los Angeles County, California.
