A buddy of mine trained here last Saturday. He had a short chat with Ed and saw him lolling all the time.
So weird..  :-\

Cause of death, too much lolling.

eh, pro wrestling?

we all know the risks that come with hormone use, stimulant use, downers to sleep, protein intake 5x the RDA, and most importantly, the effects on the heart from carrying 270+lbs of bodyweight for years straight.

shitty deal he died... esp for his kids and wife.. but he knew what he was doing
so did she. Stupid mofos.

I only added some color. Nothing else. The original was straight from the contest in B and W ~

Frank knew how to hide his weak spots (thighs) and accent them.

His lats...how could you possibly shop that?

The white cinder block wall really accentuates his blood red face.

Fuck, with his blood pressure he must've needed braided stainless steel hoses for veins.

It's better to die with a good laugh, than being bittered because the '97 'O title was yours

Us humans... we are always looking for excuses. Accept the reality. It's not that complex if you decide to open your eyes. The human body was not designed to be that big and muscular with the extreme low levels of bodyfat.

If the intention was for everyone to be a freak, we all would be freaky.


It is no coincidence that these pros died in the 40 - 50 year old range. It is also not a coincidence that the Pros in their late 30's are already experiencing health problems.

The message is clear: You take steroids, you die. No suprises here.
