OT: Any WWE fans on here?
- Thread starter remington69
- Start date
Don't forget Kerry Von Erich, Big Boss Man, Crash Holly, Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert, Chris Candido, Big Dick Dudley and Johnny Grunge (for you ECW fans)... all also died way too young.

Aren't there a ton of Von Erichs who died early? A little before my time, mind you.
I didn't know about Big Dick Dudley.
I forgot about Big Bossman. If you ever take a trip down to Cobb County, Georgia...

Damn, I didn't know Big Bossman died too. There were a lot of Von Erics in the AWA I think and a few of them did die.
I used to like Sensational Sherry back in the day and she was the first chick who actually had me wanting to be a wrestling manager. I was really into it back them. Why I tell you guys this stuff I'll never know.

Yes some great names mentioned there... way too many young wrestlers die. Some from overdosing, others from steroid abuse and some just tragically like Junk Yard Dog (car crash) and Owen Hart (terrible stunt gone wrong).
Surely given the amount of related deaths in wrestling to substance and steroid abuse must demand some investigations into the responsibility of organisations like WWE (the McMahons') etc???
McMahon is a very astute and ruthless businessman who would probably make his wife eat shit if it meant more ratings for his business - as a human being I think he is an absolute dog personally!

After reading the posts you would think it would be almost impossible for a professional wrestler to get life/health insurance. I probabably ranks right up there with underwater welder and crab fisherman as most dangerous line of work.

Who was the guy that ended up in a wheelchair? He had a neck injury or something like that and wound up paralyzed. He was writing a column for the WWE (he still might, I don't know). I can see him right in front of my face but I can't remember his name. He was a big guy, the one who used to puke all the time.

I just read on a site that Friday night while Eddie was wrestling, he was hit in the head with a chair and someone who watched it said his eyes didn't look right after that. The person who watched the event said he wondered if that had anything to do with Eddie passing away.

hopefully that link works. If not, search amazon.com music for Macho Man.

I bought my friend this album for his birthday as a joke. Pretty much the whole album is about how Macho Man is gonna lay the smack down on Hogan. Apparently, Macho Man is still stuck in the year 1988.
BTW- Raw last night was very well done. I was freakin' bawling like a baby in the beginning when they did a video montage to J. Cash's version of "Hurt". And then when Benoit started talking about Eddie and began sobbing...I felt so bad.
