• Former WWE Wrestler Died By Suicide 8 Years Ago Today

On this day in 2014, we lost Old School WCW & WWE Wrestler Sean O’Haire (Real name: Sean Christopher Haire) at the age of 43 due to suicide.

Trained at WCW’s own Wrestling School, the WCW Power Plant, Sean had his televised debut on WCW TV in mid-2000 and soon became a member of the ‘Natural Born Thrillers’ stable.

When WCW was bought by Vince McMahon in 2001, so was O’Haire’s contract.

He left the WWE in 2004 and got into MMA, where he had a 4-2 record.

† REST IN PEACE SEAN O’ HAIRE

• ON THIS DAY IN WWF HISTORY (September 8, 1984) – WWF Superstars of Wrestling

On this day in 1984, the World Wrestling Federation aired an episode of their weekly TV show ‘WWF Superstars of Wrestling’.

This was the original third nationally syndicated show that later became known as “WWF Wrestling Spotlight” after the August 30, 1986 episode.

NOT to be confused with the famous weekly “WWF Superstars of Wrestling” TV show, that eventually took over WWF Championship Wrestling in September 1986 and ran until 1997 (before becoming a recap/highlights show that ran till 2001).

Here’s the card:

Paul Orndorff vs. Rick McGraw
