Amid NFL Star Damar Hamlin’s Collapse, Fans Rage at WWE for Horrific Incident That Ended Up Killing Superstar: “WWE Made The Mistake”

NFL canceled the game on Monday between Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills following the gruesome hit Damar Hamlin had. The Bills star was quickly rushed to the hospital following the unfortunate tragedy.

Surprisingly, following the incident, wrestling fans started taking a shot at WWE and Vince McMahon. They recalled a similar tragedy that happened at a WWE PLE in 1999 which led to the passing away of a superstar.

The injury took place when Hamlin tackled Bengals’ wide receiver Tee Higgins and got up after that. Shockingly, the 24-year-old quickly collapsed after he stood up.

The players of both teams came to check on Hamlin as the medics arrived. They brought a stretcher to carry the Bills player as the athletic trainers protected his head.

As ESPN covered, Hamlin’s agent said, “Please continue to pray for Damar and his family. We currently have no update at this time. Will ask that you keep the family in your prayers.”

Everybody present on the field was shocked and were looking for an update about Hamlin. They gave him CPR and were on the field for around 16 minutes before the ambulance came to take him to the hospital.

Similarly, in 1999, Owen Hart fell hard in the ring, while making an entrance from the rafters. He was portraying the Blue Blazer character at the time and wanted to do a superhero entrance, which he had done once.

However, while being lowered into the ring, Hart fell 78 feet, landing chest-first on the top rope and throwing him into the ring. The former Intercontinental champion passed away moments after the accident, but Vince McMahon kept the show running.

Fans slam WWE for running the show in 1999 after the NFL canceled the game
