Here is the location of number 2 in Banksy's October 2013 New York series. It's a graffiti tag that says "THIS IS MY NEW YORK ACCENT ...normally I write like this."
I probably don't need to say it, but none of these will last very long.

Street artist Banksy ran wild in New York in October 2013 adding a new piece each day somewhere in the city for a real-time show he called BETTER OUT THAN IN.
Here's the former location of day 1, a street urchin standing on his friend's back pointing to a sign that reads "GRAFFITI IS A CRIME."
It's already been painted over, but you can listen to the audio guide on his site for some tongue-in-cheek info about the piece.

Frank Goodish, a 6'8" giant best known as Bruiser Brody, wrestled in the NWA, the AWA, the WWWF and many other promotions during the territory days of the 70s and 80s.
In 1988 Brody traveled to Puerto Rico for a show on July 16 at Juan Ramón Loubriel Stadium in Bayamón. In the locker room before the show he was stabbed by a wrestler named Invader (real name José González). Brody died at the hospital early the next morning.
González was charged with the murder and claimed self-defense. In spite of the controversy surrounding his motives for killing Brody, González was acquitted after a trial in Puerto Rico the following year.

Owen Hart fell to his death at the Kemper Arena in Kansas City on May 23, 1999 during WWF's Over the Edge pay-per-view.
Hart had recently reprised the masked Blue Blazer gimmick that he used when he first debuted in the WWF over ten years before. A stunt was planned where he would descend from the ceiling in a harness and grapple line before his match, but he ended up accidentally falling over fifty feet into the ring.
Luckily the arena house lights were down at the time while a backstage promo aired and no footage exists of the fall.
