Got bored of it as it was getting over commercialised and over dramatic when the whole McMahon family step in to the ring. Since then I hardly follow the 'show' or any news of the 'sports', it's an entertainment show after all. Until recently I read the shocking news of Chris Benoit killed his wife and kid and later hanged himself.
I browsed on YouTube and Wikipedia and found out more news of the wrestlers to my surprise.
Bret Hart was such a cool wrestler no matter he was with the 'good' or 'bad' side. He suffered a stroke in 2002. His brother Owen Hart, the small time wrestler died in 1999 from a stunt accident in the ring.
There are a number of wrestlers who died young, mainly due to misuse of steroid and other drugs rather than from injuries suffered from the 'sports'.
- Hawk (of Road Warriors) (1957 - 2003) - heart attack
- Curt Hennig (Mr. Perfect) (1958-2003) - acute cocaine intoxication
- Bam Bam Bigelow (1961 - 2007) - drug related heart disease
- Rick Rude (1958-1999) - heart failure
- Andre The Giant (1946-1993) - congestive heart failure
- Eddie Guerrero (1967-2005) - heart failure
- Miss Elizabeth (1960-2003) - the former manager of Randy 'Macho Man' Savage, died of drug over dose or domestic violence by Lex Luger?
- Dino Bravo (1948-1993) - The self pro-claimed "world's strongest man" was shot dead
- Davey Boy Smith of British Bulldog (1962-2002) - heart attack
- Big Boss Man (1963-2004) - heart attack
- Earthquake (1963-2006) - cancer
- Yokozuna (1966-2000) - heart failure
In memories of some of the dead wrestlers.
The conclusion is - don't try steroid, you will die young.
If not, you will become insane like The Ultimate Warrior.
