JBL got either suspended or fined for doing the nazi march in the ring while the wwe was on tour in Germany.
Were they all part of the same organization, getting recruited and paid by the same person? Was their addictions basically a necessary requisite to "succeed" in their job?
The WWE is the biggest in the US, but it is not the only wrestling company in the world. Most of the guys who die young are guys who have had to work elsewhere as well. The WWE definitely has blame in the culture, but is really a culture in the wrestling world brought on by the fame they enjoy (even in small promotions working small towns) and the necessary to cope with pain and travel. The wrestling world breeds a lifestyle of addiction and mistreatment of women. Hollywood does the same but with sexier drugs.
It's no worse than a football player smashing his head into someone else than taking a couple shots of painkillers at half time and doing it again... Football is just entertainment, yet many former players are dying young because of things that were necessary for them to do their job. And to all the people that are saying wrestling is "fake" just remember you are on a site dedicated to an NBA team... And we all know the NBA is rigged
Celebrity obsession I hate it too but R.I.P anyways, I always liked Warrior unlike these whack ass wrestlers you have now like Daniel Bryan, lol.
So you call out arguably the best technical wrestler in the company? I'd understand if you had said Batista or Cena but Bryan? C'mon now.

Well, when Pro wrestling becomes more riskier to ones health than cancer, driving in traffic, and dying from a simple drug overdose... than maybe they need to re-visit whether or not this "entertainment" is worth it.
It is similar, but different. Far less former football players are just up and randomly dying vs. former pro wrestlers. Wrestlers also take PED's to a whole nother level... injecting stuff that no human would ever be allowed to tolerate ever.
Because of all the years of rumors about his death and how odd a character he is, I still feel like there's a .001% chance that this is just some elaborate ruse Warrior is putting on. I mean, I know the guy really is dead, but still...
I doubt the death rate for pro wrestlers is higher than cancer. Again, the death rate in Hollywood is also absurdly high.
Oh boy "Wrestling is fake guys!" Everyone that watches knows this. Just like everyone that watches a movie knows it is fake. You are not opening anyone's eyes by revealing that wrestling is fake. Any ways, very shocking to me because he was just on Monday Night Raw. As Kam mentioned, he looked good and in shape.
Ultimate Warrior was my favorite wrestler of all time. Sad to hear. Made me think of some of the other guys as well. Dang Lex.
Lex Luger is in the shape he is in because of a spinal stroke he suffered that paralyzed him (quadriplegic) for nearly a year. It took a long time for him to recover enough to where walking was comfortable at all.
