The oldest age on that list is 49.  Just 6 or 7 guys got to that age.  Now that is pretty bad.

If anyone ever saw that 'Hogan Knows Best' episode where a bunch of former wrestlers came over Hulk's house, you'd know why most of them are dead. Their bodies have completely fallen apart, most of them can barely walk (like Hulk), and they're addicted to painkillers and other drugs to cope with the physical pain. Factor in the emotional pain of having gone from an arena-filler to a drunk invalid without health care, pension, or any residual income, and you start to get the picture.

McMahon is a bloodsucker.

seems there is a lot of drug abuse contributing to this and i don't mean roids.

plus alot of these guys are just plain big and generally really big people don't live that long.  when you're 300+ your heart is only gonna last so long.

Yes he is but he also gives most of the guys a chance to make a lot of money.  Unlike someone else

Wow,and 13,000 died last year of drunk driving incidents.This is a lot of nonsense over nothing.If you looked at an entire industry there are probably just as many deaths in the same period of time.

Wow,and 13,000 died last year of drunk driving incidents.This is a lot of nonsense over nothing.If you looked at an entire industry there are probably just as many deaths in the same period of time.

Ignorant?I give facts,you give opinions.Fact,Bonds broke NO RULES of baseball.Fact,cheating is defined as breaking the rules to get a competative advantage.There can be NO CHEATING if there is no rule.You say the fans hate him,FACT the fans voted him in to start in the all star game.You say he is a tax evader,FACT he hasnt been indicted for tax evasion in spite of THREE grand juries trying their best to get him ,including jailing Greg Anderson.Again,you give opinions[given to you by the media]I give facts.Sorry the facts dont line up with your agenda.

Reality is.....

1. Alot (not all) of these guys do not have COllege Degrees and have no other craft/business to do thus are locked into the business.

2. Many of these guys do not save there money thus have no retirement fund. Hell look at Ric Flair, been in the business 30 yrs, gets a divorce...loses half and then owes back taxes. He's not wrestling cus he loves the business, it's cus he needs the $$

I'd be curious to see how many wrestlers leave the business and are successful at other endeavors

Hogan was smart, supposedly Christian Cage can retire tmw. Jericho has his rock career (chuckly chuckle)

what point? the 13000 who died in drunk driving out of the 300 million people who live in the united states point?  how does that correlate to the multiple deaths of wrestlers over the past 10 years..now, if he could list over 100 nfl or nba or mlb or nhl players who have died of drugs overdoses, and the variety of health problems that wrestlers have died of over the past 10 years then it becomes a good point...but he didn't--so the point is ignorant and wildly unrelated.

Good point and taken. But why are they all dying now? In the seventies and eighties there where way way way more muscular and gased up wrestlers then today. I think its the pain killers and rec drug overdose abuse.

Totally different.The NBA and NFL are an organised leagues with a union.They all play under collectively bargained rules.Pro wrestling is spread out all over the country.There is no union,no rules,no insurrance no nothing.If you look at the list, exactly 5 of those guys were currently employed by the WWE at the time of their deaths[and thee of them were involved in accidents not heart attacks].The others were either indy workers or retired.A much fairer comparrison would be to take how many independat truckers died over the last ten years.Because the vast majority or wrestlers work for themselves,not for companies.

One other thing.When Rob Van Dam and Sabu got arrested last year.They found 15[Im not sure of the number]loose perkasettes in Sabus pocket.This meand that Sabu was popping them like pez.These guys live a hard life  with tons of injuries and no time off.Time off for most means no money,so they work through the pain.Thats why they die.
