13 Wrestlers Who Died In The Ring
12. Kevin Cawley
Kevin Cawley was a journeyman of the British wrestling circuit. He worked for many years under many guises, most of them under a mask. His most famous character was The Black Baron, managed by perennial heel manager Charlie McGee. He made two television appearances, both in 1980. He teamed with Japanese visitor Yasu Fuji in a losing effort to Big Daddy (no surprise there) and Chris Adams – yes, the very same Chris Adams who went on to enjoy huge stardom in World Class wrestling in Texas. He was then also involved in an 8 man battle royal won by Giant Haystacks (again, no surprise there, how on earth was anyone supposed to throw him over the top rope?). He also competed as the gimmick-infringing Spiderman, The Zebra Kid (not to be confused with the original masked Zebra Kid, George Bollas) and The Outlaw. British wrestlers often started younger than most other countries, and often ending older than most, and so a British wrestler would have a long career, and this can certainly be said for Cawley.
