Just a pity that they haven't realized that there's a 'reason' so many of these wrestlers are dying before they hit 50
Another dead WWE superstar ...

Every single one of them is addicted to painkillers, I have read quite a few of their biographies, the shit they put their bodies through is insane.
WWE is a piss take. Soap opera dressed up as a 'sport'. It's as choreographed as synchronised swimming. And for those who think it is a sport, then surely the use of drugs should be banned in it? Which would eliminate possibly every competitor.
Don't get me wrong, I think they are great athletes and obviously very strong, athletic etc etc, but it's not a sport.
So many kids love this shit, and so something should be done about the blatant use of performance enhancing drugs in WWE. Having said that, the death of a 33yr old star should serve as warning enough.

I agree its not a sport, all it is is a soap opera for men, and I find it very entertaining. And the women, oh my goodness, shame my wife won't let me watch it much anymore.
No doubt, it is filled with some very legitimate tough guys, they are very unique people. Just like anybody in show business. They are all about putting on the best show possible.
If those are pictures can you re-post I can't see them. 🙁
I'm out ot touch, but is this chap really a "superstar"?
I thought that was reserved for Stone Cold, Shaun Michaels, etc?

It hasnt been dressed up as a sport in years mate. Thats why its called world wrestling entertainment. They embraced the fact that it was a soap opera about 10 years ago and accept thats all it is.
For the record since the Benoit incident, the wwe have very strict anti-drug laws which have seen the likes of Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, Christian Cage and others booted from the organisation and not brought back until they had cleaned up thier act. Those are premier superstars that they have cut without a thought when the drug issue has been found. All superstars (thats what they are called) have to be drug tested before each show and random tests up to 30 times a year. The industry itself still turns a blind eye to druggies and steroid freaks, but the wwe does not which is why it has in recent years given a chance to the likes of Rey Mysterio and Chris Jericho, smaller stars not beefed up freaks.
I like wrestling, its a good laugh, i've always been a fan, and although i dont watch it anymore (well not very often anyway) i still have a bit of an interest, and its worth noting that in the main part the wwe (formerly wwf) has cleaned up its act, and its no suprise that test wasnt wrestling for that franchise when he died.

Guess he didn't pass his drug TEST. I'll get my coat.
33 is very young, is he the youngest drug related death from that business?
Apparently a good chuck of the people who died were trained by Bret Hart's father school in Canada. God_23 picked up a copy of it for to read for a recent flight.

I read Brett Hart's book recently. Quite a few guys from that territory either are dead, or really jacked up. From the book, I get the feeling that they all though very highly of themselves, but outside of their territory nobody else did.
With the exception of Owen Hart everyone from the up there in my eyes are very marginal.

Exactly.
What they do is impressive precisely because it's make-believe.
The timing and athleticism required is of a high level, and the accidents are very real.
I remember The Rock being asked on Letterman once :
'What's the biggest mistake you see young wrestlers make?'
Answer : 'That they think they actually get to hit people'
HIlarious ;D

I wouldn't say he's the youngest drug related death from wrestling at all. Good read and also included a lengthy list of former wrestler who've died over the last 10 years, mostly due to drugs/steroids/painkillers..

They look way too big to be non drug enhanced guys, but then if they are as strict as you say with the drug testing, i take it back. I'm surprised that they can get that big without drugs.

The cleanup has only come in the last few years, and wrestlers can have very long (or very short) careers. So some of the older guys may have taken them when they were younger. However the WWE have suspended or fired a lot of Wrestlers for taking drugs recently, even recreational drugs.

Bret Hart's autobio is a fascinating read. Of course, like all autobios, it has a bit of an agenda but it is a truly intriguing look into a profession that few in the general public understand well and which has changed tremendously in the past thirty years.
You should read Ric Flair's and Mick Foleys, both very good.
Not a fan of Hart's book just because I was never a fan of his, he certainly has a high opinion of himself though

I find the fact that an adult without learning difficulties is admitting to reading not just one, but at least THREE books about fucking wrestlers
