Another pro wrestler found dead

[WT]

Test (when he was with WWE) had a storyline where he was supposed to marry Stephanie McMahon (with subsequent buildup to the actual event playing out each week in short vignettes between matches), and Triple H got her liquored up and drove to a nearby Vegas chapel where he supposedly married her instead at a drive thru church.

QueBert, these delinquents wouldn't think twice about watching an MTV jello or oil wrestling match between girls, but the thought of it happening between men detests them. I admit to enjoying it briefly, as in a few minutes of each match, but after 10+ years, I can tell you who will win damn near every match before it ends.

Ohh, and prayers and condolences to his family and friends. The life of a pro wrestler is more of a burden than most can carry. No retirement funds, shortened career (12 years tops I'd guess) constant physical injuries and pain .... all to entertain the viewing audience.

I feel bad for laughing at that.

I also have to admit that steroids was one of my first thoughts, fair or not.

I don't. LoLerskated all over my keyboard.

they are on the road something like 300 days a year. doing shows 3 -4 days a week. thats insane.

There isn't even a cause of death yet and already the steroid accusations come out lol.

yes even Vince was suprised at how many were doing steriods. Even he admited it was far higher then he thought it was.

and nowhere did i say it was the steriods that killed him. but odds are he was takeing them (at one point) and that plays a part. but yes you did bring up a good point. the other narcartics that most likely in his system didnt help not to mention the punishment they go through night after night. as i said they are on the road something like 300 days a year doing a few shows a night.

a body just can't the abuse they put it through.

Test was better than most people thought. He had a killer "boot to the face" finisher that I felt watching at home

Do these people actually think this stuff is real?

What are the odds really that it's because of steroid use?

Actually, I didn't like scarface because the action was so fake looking.

Even if it turns out to be a heart attack, liver or kidney failure, or something along those lines, the odds that steroids alone caused his death are virtually zero.

Who knows if it was steroids that caused his death...

But Test got HUGE over a few years when he left the WWE. He's always been big, but I'm talkin huge.

TnA supposedly released him b/c they were worried about him dying from steroid abuse and having to deal w/a lawsuit.
