I was shocked when I turned on WWE last night and saw that.

It seems to me that a lot of professional wrestlers have problems with drugs (legal and illegal). I suspect being on the road all the time, dealing with injuries and pain, etc... is a very difficult life. Perhaps Vince should consider hiring more wrestlers so each could do fewer shows. It might dilute the entertainment a little, but that's better than having stars with all sorts of medical and personal problems.

I wonder what happened here.

knighty, pro football players die young, too. i think the average age of death is ~55 years old.

the wear and tear on the body, and the steroids, takes its toll on these big guys. your definition of "undersized" is still *huge* compared to the average joe.

then again, if you live too long, the nfl players union won't care too much when your retirement is minimal... but that's another issue.
