Other wrestlers deaths have been pick up by mainstream press, the thing about Jon Huber was he held a title in AEW just a couple of months ago when the health problem was discovered, he dropped the title in the ring, then started treatment which unfortunately was unsuccessful. So he was a current fairly high profile wrestler hence the interest and we have more wrestling shows available to us now than ever before hence the higher profile.
