PrintableHis wife has come forward and said that preliminary autpsy reports say he had an enlarged heart.Which is a sign of steroid abuse. Autopsy reports of other dead wrestlers have said the same thing. For all of the people here who do not follow wrestling you would be shocked if I listed the amount of wrestlers who have died from od's or "heart attacks" over the years. It would shock and sicken you. Wrestling is a sick business. No other sport comes close to a death rate like wrestling does. | |

Junkyard Dog too Yokozuna was a favorie of mine. Remember the Bonsai drop. "Bonsaaaaiii!" Not trying to be funny when talking about Rick Rude, but when WCW came to my city a long time ago, Rick Rude was going against Sting(man I used to love Sting too, before he turned into the "Crow" Sting). Anyway during the match Sting chased Rick up the turn buckle and tried to pull him down but instead accidently pulled down Rick's pants baring his naked ass.  I think I was about 7 or 8 when this was, so you can imagine how much I laughed after that. I really miss those live wrestling events and I hate the fact that I just don't have it in me anymore to be a wrestling fanatic. looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |

DreZone said: MotoPsycho said: Rapid muscle-gain? Have you been watching wrestling the last 4 years? Eddie's muscle-gain has not changed that dramatically. If Eddie was under the influence of ANYTHING.. it would have been a few pain killers. While not good given his history, they're very understandable with his career and his workload. Smackdown and RAW left today for a tour overseas. I don't see how Chris Benoit is going to keep it together. I'm very much into wrestling, not just WWE wrestling, but other promotions and federations to. This loss shook the whole professional wrestling world and all it's fans. No doubt. Chris Benoit and Eddie go back years. THe tribute show was nice. Nice touch at the end by John Cenile (yep, I spelt it right) where he took off his Eddie Guerrero shirt laid it down and placed his WWE belt on the shirt. Alas I didn't see the entire show, did they do the 10-count bell salute? 'dre Yeah, they did the 10-count bell. It was very sad. He will be missed.

Owen Hart (34) Owen heart died in a stunt that backfired drastically - not drugs like his brother-in-laws sake. 'dre Tried many flavours - but sooner or later, always go back to the Purple Kool-aid!

Man 100ft fall... did the Hart family get compensation? I hear they filed for a $1.7M (circa) lawsuit on WWE re. the incident 'dre Tried many flavours - but sooner or later, always go back to the Purple Kool-aid!

I know the show must go on, but knowing that a top wrestler just died in the ring of a major event would give me the creeps. If I was another wrestler it's no way I could've continued on after that.....it's probably the most tragic death in wrestling history. looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |

I collect some of those memories though (the classic ppv's and SNME shows) We used to be too cheap to actually buy the ppvs, so my dad's friend used to always get them and tape them for us for free.  I doubt wrestling will ever be what was back then. looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |
