Is becoming a professional wrestler a curse or something?

[Fezz]

Wrestling is fake and gay.

[Jon]

I just freaked the fuck out because you meant Lance Storm. My pro wrestling knowledge is becoming fuzzy!

I think the reason many (pro) wrestlers die young is because their training and performance constantly pushes them to their limit, along with performance enhancing drugs, of course.

RIP nonetheless.

Pro wrestling is all staged. :P

I know. It's kind of creepy. the creepiest one is Crash Holly's death. He died in Stevie Richards house, drowned in a puddle of his own vomit.

Some are downright creepy.

And for everyone else, I know wrestling is fake. We're not here to discuss it's validity ok?

[Odio]

Good riddance. Scum of society.

They were pro wrestlers, not Democrats.

They were just people trying to make a living. Most of them made foolish choices.

[Dosensuppen]

Holy crap! Umaga died?

Didn't know that.

Yeah man. I remember seeing him once when my brothers and I went to Raw or Backlash or something. Hard to believe he's gone.

I don't watch wrestling ever but damn dude.

[CapnTater]

'Roids always get to you first.

Same. I mean, I catch every once in a while.

[Jon]

I remember attending a house show literally a few days after Eddie Guerrero's death, the silence of the crowd and the ringing of the bell, finally chanting his name over... - those goosebumps will stay with me forever

[Idiot-Finder]

Steroids can do that.

When it comes to wrestling, it depends which ones you're referring to. I know you're referring to the one everyone knows about.

The wrestling in the Olympics and college are real however and slightly more homosexual...

[Spikrodd]

Steroids often causes your heart to fail. That accounts for a lot of the deaths.

I love how Chris Benoit went out... killing his own family in a roid rage unlike anything i've ever seen or heard of and the killing himself. I call that intense win.

[orangebomb]

Not to mention the repeated amounts of concussions every week, which would turn brains into blood soaked tissues or something like that.

And yeah, the drugs in general {which is generally painkillers and 'roids} do fuck up your body in a lot of ways.

Ok, but what does this have to do with the topic?

But they should still be remembered as great performers.

[JKMonkey]

its from the steroids...

[FoodnSex]

I am amazed at the sheer idiocy of some of the replies in this thread.

[PeterM]

Steroids + Rage + stupid amounts of exercise = bad body condition on the inside.
