#EDDIE GUERRERO HEART ATTACK IN RING FULL#
While that's certainly true, it should be mentioned that the full story is significantly more complicated. Before the event was over, the WWF commentator Jim Ross announced to the world that Hart was dead. The ring announcer soon informed the audience that what had just happened was completely unscripted.
However, this impression wouldn't last long. At first, some of the audience members thought the whole thing was a stunt and that the falling figure had been a doll. Though the incident never made it to television, the 16,000 people at the Kemper Arena witnessed the futile attempts by the medical staff to revive Hart, who died of internal bleeding. The system malfunctioned while Hart was 78 feet above the ring and sent the helpless wrestler plunging down, where he hit the top rope and then bounced into the ring. CNN describes just how badly this went wrong. They set up an elaborate system of wires that would lower the Blue Blazer to the ring from the rafters above, creating a truly magnificent effect. The WWF decided to give him a fitting entrance for his appearance on the "Over the Edge" pay-per-view show on May 23: Because he was a superhero, the company would make him fly. In 1999, Hart's gimmick was a masked superhero character known as Blue Blazer.
