Early death almost seems like a job requirement for wrestling. It sucks, but it's a part of the business and sadly, of fandom.
1. Which wrestler do you miss the most?
2. Is the heavy schedule a major factor in natural cause deaths?
3. Which died-before-his-time wrestler had the brightest potential future ahead of him/her?
4. Are you even surprised anymore when you hear about a wrestler dying young?
5. Two-plus years later, looking back, do you think Chris Benoit's double murder-suicide had that great an effect on fans coming in or leaving wrestling?
1. Mine's actually kind of a tie between two wrestlers. Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit(the Benoit from before he went nuts and killed his family).
ReplyDelete2. Most definitely. The heavy schedule doesn't really give the wrestlers a lot of time to rest and recuperate from any pain they might be in or injuries they may suffer, so they end up having to rely on painkillers and the like.
3. Owen Hart, hands down.
4. Not really. It's become such a trend lately, that there's really no surprise left to it.
5. No. People like what they like, regardless of who does what or who kills who. It's life.
