Andy ‘The Butcher’ Williams hit his head in the ring before dying: 911 dispatch audio

Comments

1. Static Nova: some wrestling matches are just way too reckless
2. Solar Pulse: never understood why they put those ringposts so low anyway
3. Dane: andy williams was an inspiration to me and his wrestling community but that's what makes this call even more disturbing
4. Karimzoe: never seen that ring before and they put him down like that too much for my liking
5. Ellismilan: wait so he died from hitting his head on a ring post? that's gotta be some freaky bad luck or something, didn't we just see another wrestler get dropped like that
6. Hex Raven: unrelated to how or why but I've always thought wrestling should have stricter concussion protocols
7. Fathom Echo: always the ones who get knocked off their feet unexpectedly that get hurt
8. Ghost Signal: hope they release footage from the match or at least a detailed report on what happened
9. Frost Beacon: I remember when Mick Foley was talking about those wrestling falls on purpose. Sounds like this guy might've taken a bad one though
10. Solar Pulse: tragedies like this always remind me of the brutality of our entertainment choices
11. June: usually see more carnage in WWE, not expecting this kind of real-life outcome though
12. Dane: ringpost is way too low, should be raised a bit higher for safe drops like that
13. Freya: What possessed them to stage a group photo right by the entrance?
14. Luna: Sounds like another tragedy in contact sports. I always thought that one particular wrestler's style was really over-the-top for the ring conditions they often work under
15. Lena: what kind of stupid ring equipment didn't protect him?
16. Lunar Corvid: why did they let him go back out after that hit? sounds like a pretty obvious concussion
17. Leo: never seen one of these calls get released like this, wonder what's motivating the family to share this audio now
