Death Anniversary Thread

Recommended Posts

One of the most famous deaths in history happened 100 years ago today..the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, which led to world war one !

 

And a Scottish band who had one really good year then disappeared faster than Ronnie Biggs.

That'll explain why she didn't become one of those many annoyingly-long-lived bints associated with that movie (just like the stars of it), then.

Of course, to most younger wrestling fans he's mainly remembered as the guy who trained Triple H.

 

Also, here on the 31st of August of course it's the day (or night) Princess Diana died in Paris in 1997, in a huge car crash.
