Jim Cornette on why more and more wrestlers are dying younger nowadays. Obviously, the answers are drug abuse and more high-impact bumps leading to more drug abuse. You may say "Well duh, Jim, way to state the obvious there," but if it's so obvious, why aren't more people saying it? Because they have careers at stake and don't want to be blackballed. Cornette is in the unique position that he's burnt his bridges with both TNA and the WWE, so he can say what he wants. He also doesn't give a shit if people label him as bitter. Others don't have the temerity to speak out like that. It's a shame too, because this is really a problem that is going unnoticed because of the rampant paranoia among wrestlers in the bigs.
