Yeah, when Owen Hart fell to his death in Kansas City, Missouri on May 23, 1999, during the WWF's Over the Edge PPV event. He was being lowered into the ring from the rafters of Kemper Arena for a match with The Godfather. He was scheduled to win the Intercontinental Title that night. In keeping with the Blazer's buffoonish character, Owen was to be lowered to just above ring level, at which time he would release himself from the safety harness and then fall flat on his face. Though he had performed the stunt before, Owen was worried about performing the stunt at Kemper Arena due to the height involved (Owen had a fear of heights). However, Owen performed a practice stunt earlier in the day, the stunt went forward on the show as scheduled. His wife Martha suggests that, by moving around to get comfortable with both the harness and his cape on, Owen triggered an early release and fell 78 feet (24 m) into the ring, smashing his chest on a ring turnbuckle. Viewers at home did not see the incident, as the WWF was transmitting a promotional video package for the match. Owen was transported to the Truman Medical Center in Kansas City, where he was pronounced dead on arrival (he actually died about six minutes after the fall, while still lying in the ring); the cause was later revealed to be internal bleeding from blunt chest trauma. He was 34 years old.

I assume you mean in the ring?
Owen Hart Died rappeling from the rafters in a 1996(?) pay per view.
Stone cold broke his neck getting a piledriver. Can never wrestle again. Maybe one careful match or two but...
Big Show nearly brke his back when Kevin Nash tried to Power Bomb him and Show landed wrong....resulted in the power bomb being banned for several years.
Many wrestlers have permanently injured knees and necks and are only able to work for months at a time until getting recuperative surgery, HBK, HHH, Taker and many more of the guys who went through the violent 90's.
Today is careful violence, but then they were innovating new ways to make the moves look more vicious(upside down figure 4 on the ring post, ouch....)to outdo each other, WWE and WCW.
Bret may have suufered his stroke due to wrestling Goldberg.

Owen Hart fell to his death at the "Over the Edge" pay per view on May 23, 1999.
Eddie Guerrero didn't die in the ring, but he died before an event in Minnesota on November 13, 2005.

I hate wrestling, so it surprises me that I know this:
Bret Hart's brother fell from a rafter onto the ring and died.
