Well, I knew it wouldn’t take too long for somebody to make a reference to the singer Bryan Adams. ;-)

I suspect all those drugs take their toll on a body. Steroids and others ... taxes the heart and everything else. Hope it was worth it to him to die so young ... .

Can’t believe I got it in first - took me a bit to figure out what his hit was.

Also, it’s possible that a lot of these guys are getting multiple concussions. There’s some evidence that multiple concussions can lead to self-destructive behavior in some cases.

He’s had like 20 hits, but “Cuts Like A Knife” was one of (if not) the first.

Speaking of wrestling, sort of, I flipped by the Comedy Central roast of Flavor Flav last night. One of the roasters joked Flav's father skills made Chris Benoit look like a good father. Needless to say, the 'joke' fell flat.

That said, sad to see another wrestler dying at an early age. While I do not condone government action on the matter, WWE better clean up it's show if it hopes to continue. Sooner or later, many families are going to turn off to a show whose entertainers are dying regularly from drug use.

Good. The world will be a better place without staged wrestling.

I believe he was born in “the summer of 69”

Could have gone with his first big ballad “Heaven.”

He was also one of the few wrestlers who did time in jail for steroids.
