13 Wrestlers Who Died In The Ring
11. Larry Cameron
Larry Cameron started his athletic career in the Canadian Football League. A stocky, powerful man, the sport suited him. But after suffering injuries, his football career ended and he turned his attention to professional wrestling, where his large build was again suited to the occupation. Training under Stu Hart alongside another former football player in Brian Pillman, he debuted for Stampede Wrestling in 1985. His no-nonsense, powerhouse style and bulging physique was popular at the time, with the likes of The Road Warriors, Nikita Koloff and Hulk Hogan all gaining great success using this style and image. His greatest achievement in Stampede was defeating Davey Boy Smith for the Stampede North American Heavyweight title in 1989, a championship he held until the company folded at the end of that year.
