Pro wrestling is the quickest way to premature death.

The results are choreographed, the injuries and pain are quite real

They aren’t little guys either. They also take a bunch of pharmaceuticals.

If he was already using heroin years ago, then this was bound to happen.
The pro-wrestling business eats people alive.

I had no idea Paul Bearer died....

Regular sports have long off seasons to rest and recover from injuries. These guys are out 300+ days a year.

Very tragic news. Say what you want about professional wrestling, but it's a tough business that has a disproportionate number of early deaths among its ranks. I recently saw Lex Luger on an episode of “Hardcore Pawn.” He looked terrible. He appeared rather frail, and was walking with a cane.
To: EveningStar
Gosh. They say legendary and I never heard of him. I am going to click the link you provided to see who he is.
To: EveningStar
Shocking. I’d be less surprised with seeing Ric’s name as the one who’s passed away with his recent health issues.
To: CounterCounterCulture
you seen Dusty Rhodes lately? he looks like he needs a Paul Bearer.

True, hectic schedule. I think depression may factor in with these guys too.

I played football against Ric in the late 60’s when he went to Wayland Academy and I went to Northwestern Prep. He was a load.

“The Wrestler” Mickey Rourke! Great movie. Nuff said.
To: GreenHornet
I saw that episode too, and I thought something looked terribly wrong about his hands.
They appeared malformed or clawed or something.
The rest of him did not look particularly well either.
