WWE starts Who Died Young
10. Lance Cade
Trained by the great Shawn Michaels, the WWE got very excited when they first locked eyes with Lance Cade.Like Test, we lost Cade far too early as he passed away from an overdose even before he hit the age of 30, which is truly shocking
9. Umaga
he passed away from a heart attack which was also linked to an overdose. Today, he’d be in his mid-40s and we believe he’d be closing off his career overseas in Japan, perhaps as an enforcer for the Bullet Club.
8. Curt Hennig
He was truly a brilliant act, even when he returned to the company years later in 2002.

His life was cut short in July of 2015 after he passed away in his sleep at the age of 61. His passing was due to heart complications caused by hypertension

Similar to Chris Jericho, we believe Owen could have been actively wrestling till his mid 40s
