#2 Chris Benoit
Chris Benoit had a successful career in professional wrestling that spanned over 22 years, but it was his time in the WWE that gave him immense prominence among wrestling fans. Benoit won his first title in the WWF a month after in a triple threat match against Chris Jericho and Kurt Angle. He would continue an impressive career winning the World Heavyweight Championship, the United States Championship, and the Intercontinental Championship. He was voted by Pro Wrestling as the Wrestler of the year, 2004.
In 2007, Benoit reportedly killed himself, his wife and his son in his home over a three day period. A medical examination made later revealed that Benoit's brain had been severely damaged probably due to year's of drug abuse and multiple concussions suffered during his wrestling career. He died when he was still at his prime in the business.
