Pro wrestling is the quickest way to premature death.

If he was already using heroin years ago, then this was bound to happen.

The pro-wrestling business eats people alive.

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.

Gosh. They say legendary and I never heard of him. I am going to click the link you provided to see who he is.

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.

I had a classmate in jr high who used to babysit for Ric Flair’s kids in Charlotte, NC. I wonder if she’ll see this.

Pro wrestling may be the toughest business there is. A LOT of wrestlers don’t make it to 40. Between injuries (very real) drugs, and painkillers. It is a tough business.
