This should be in the entertainment forum.

It's just sad.
Everything that reminded us of the GOOD days of the WWF is slowly dying away... including the Superstars.
He will be missed.

Another one gone before his time in this industry. Former MN governor Jesse Ventura said these guys really need to get a union and health plan. While I am no union fan, spending 250+ days on the road performing shows like they do has got to be rough on a person. It takes a heavy toll on your health and relationships, note the numbers with substance abuse problems etc. RIP.

I always loved his rolling cutter finisher, but i never liked him as a wrestler, RIP.

Doesn't anyone get it!
They are all, on riods, lots of riods!
If you take the wrong stuff it creates depression
and suicide is usually what happens.
It's not like baseball and take it on cycles,
in WWE or what ever you call it, they
take it like a daily meal.

A lot depends on the kind of steroids taken, as well as the dose and duration. Some steroids are very harsh to the liver and internal organs: Anadrol 50, testosterone, Dianabol, Parabolan and Halotestin can be especially harsh. On the other hand, Winstrol, Anavar, Maxabolin, Primobolan and Deca-Durabolin are all relatively mild. If you are taking whole bottles a day, even they can cause damage, but if you're sensible and do moderate dosages and short cycles (6 to 12 weeks, with several months off between cycles), then the risk is likely to be minimal. I think people who drink moderately heavy are doing more damage to their liver, kidneys and brain cells, than taking 10mg of Winstrol or Anavar a day. How do I know this? Look at the facts: Five hundred thousand deaths annually from drinking and smoking versus a few from steroids. If one athlete dies from steroids, it's front-page headlines blown all out of proportion. If 500,000 people die, we shrug it off, perhaps because it's been happening for years. Philosophically, we think about drinking and smoking differently. We tend to say, "Did you hear about poor Charlie? He died last week." But the poor bastard smoked three packs a day for 30 years, so what do you expect?
