Ouch: The Worst Injuries In Professional Wrestling

The Renegade Suicide

The wrestler “The Renegade” was known for his work with the WCW in the 1990s. He was even a one-time world champion. In December of 1998 he was released from the WCW. The WCW felt as though there was a lack of interest in the wrestler and his storyline. He was extremely saddened by the release and fell into a deep depression. In February of 1999 the Renegade died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His depression over his contract was likely the motive. Although, his lack of popularity was the reason from his loss of contract, he has since been remembered in masses across the internet and through various wrestling fandoms.
