Road Warrior Hawk
Crash Holly

Chris Candido
Eddie Gilbert
Brian Pillman
Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy
Russ Haas (Charlie's brother)
Rick McGraw
Rick Rude
"Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer
"British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith
Louie Spicolli
Moondog Spot (had the attack while wrestling)
Big John Studd (liver cancer from ???)
David Von Erich (the first prominent one in 1984)
Yokozuna
Jay Youngblood

All these wrestlers were under the age of 50 and some in thier 30's...very sad commentary from drug use
Most of them were on way more than just steroids and a few were probably not even on steroids at all. They were all abusing painkillers, amphetamines, and sleeping pills back then. That is what being on the road wrestling matches 330 days a year will do to you.

But, all their hearts stopped beating when most men should be healthy.

I love pro wrestling but it is a terribly demanding lifestyle...like others have said, constantly on the road, wrestling almost every day...one mistake and you can be crippled or worse. The old guys medicated with alcohol...lots of alcohol. Back then, body size not shape was all that mattered...Dusty never won any beauty contests but the fans loved him, Abdulah the Butcher probably had the worst looking body of any man in history but boy was he scary! The "pretty boy" mindset is what has doomed modern wrestlers...sad really!

LOL! I loved Jake the Snake, he just never seemed to get his life together. One of those guys who was always on the doorstep of stardom but never could keep himself going...like Diamond Dallas Paige.

I was flipping channels the other night and caught the most recent episode of Hogan knows best. There was a pretty interesting conversation between Hogan and McMahon on it. McMahon basically told him it was time for him to return full time and that his appearances every couple of months were no longer beneficial for the wwe....He told him to cut way back on his being around his family and strap up the boots full time...Hogan can't even walk anymore....McMahon is a viscious business man and takes no prisoners....After all Hogan has done for the McMahon empire and at 53 being told to get back in that ring and make them more $$$ is absurd....

This is what gets me. Guys like these and Michael Vick doing stupid things. If I'm taking something illegal it's getting mailed to my buddies house who in turn makes a small profit to keep my name out of it. Like Vick though get a private jet and pay a yearly fee and buy hours on it when you need to travel. No airports to deal with, smoke all of the weed you want. I think you pay 250 grand then you buy hours on it a few days in advance and go where you want too. Plus dudes a millionaire and carrying an ounce or less of the stuff. I'd had someone in my posse claim it was theirs or just thrown it away. Lastly who is this guys P.R. people? He just keeps bringing it back up when everyone else droppedit. He's now saying that was where he keeps his jewelry.
