Does anyone with a mullet like that really deserve to live?
If WWE decided to stop today, there would be dozens of others to take its place.
The wrestlers make millions, the industry itself makes billions. There are thousands of guys (and girls) that want to get a start in the big leagues of pro wrestling.
My point is, even though I don’t care for it, the market is there. When someone leaves there will be another right behind him to take his place. There is too much money to be made.
Sooner or later, many families are going to turn off to a show whose entertainers are dying regularly from drug use.

Lots of folks still listen to rock and rollers, a good number of whom die young. May even add to the appeal.
Not so much for me. I’d be happier if Jerry Garcia was still alive (not as much for his work with the Grateful Dead as for his acoustic work with David Grisman).

I didn't mean that it was 'good' that Adams was dead, I was simply saying that the end of wrestling would be a good thing.
“””Good. The world will be a better place without staged wrestling””””””
I can see the headline on O’Reily Factor tonight;;;;;
“43 year old man dies.....FReeper says ‘Good’ “.
Oh, Thanks. Your not such a bad guy after all :-)
See #24, and Bill O’Reilly can stick it where the sun don’t shine.
At the rate it’s going I tend to agree.
I agree with you...but thats where they get that stuff from.
He’s gonna have to pull his head out of there first.
Canada apologized for Bryan Adams a long time ago.
He opened for Meatloaf a few years back.... and Meatloaf was pretty bad.
How many more wrestlers will die in their 3os and 40s before something is done? Like John Kronus a few weeks ago, the death of Bryan "Crush" Adams won't get much publicity, since it's been years since he was a major star. Unfortunately, it will take the death of another high profile wrestler like Chris Benoit to reignite the media's interest in this problem.
Saw the Flav Roast (gotta note that the former Chyna was there getting her share of rips) and while Kimmel waited for a reaction the audience paused another beat (digesting this) before responding with a definite “Oooooh/Boooo”, loud enough to show that everyone knew what he was referencing. Kimmel’s attempted joke obviously tilted too far into bad taste to be attempted - even in the free-style forum of a celebrity roast. Even that night’s King of Fools looked like he wanted to sink through the floor.
Altogether a shame for a late-night host who has had more “wrestling entertainment” workers on his show than all the others combined. He just bit one of the hands who feeds him.
When will they apologize for Ann Murray. LOL!
I saw him open for the Rolling Stones in 1994.
Well the good news is that Torrie Wilson is still alive.
Yeah, but what about that bitch Anne Murray?
Aaaaargh! You beat me to it!
