Is anybody truly surprised when one of our heroes passes away anymore? I was shocked when Adonis and Brody died in 1988 and then when Andre, Kerry and Dino died in 1993. Of course Owen and Eddie's deaths were devastating but it has become so common that as sick as this sounds I've had friends ask me "Who do you think will go next?" But my question is this... "Of course you're saddened by the death of all these great men but are you shocked anymore?" R.I.P. Bam Bam

I heard just today that an autopsy of a 45 year-old football player showed he had the neurological makeup of an 85 year-old.
I don't think I'll ever be surprised again. But damnit will I be sad.

The wrestling lifestyle is not exactly conducive to a healthy lifestyle, so now I am not shocked at all by these things anymore.

I'm shocked when it happens and I find out, but in the aftermath it seems much more like I should have expected it.

It's kind of pathetic that anytime I log onto wwe.com and see a picture of one of my favorite wrestlers from the 80s and early 90s, I automatically expect the worst before I read the headline.
And I'm usually proven correct.

Owen Hart's was shocking because of what happened. Eddie's was shocking because he was so young. Bam Bam was right out of left field. So, yeah I'm still shocked. I hate to say it, but Jake The Snake Roberts may be the next one to go, sadly.

I know I will get a lot of heat for saying this but putting Eddie Guerrero in the same boat with Owen Hart is a disgrace to Hart's name since he didn't die because of a well known history of drug abuse, and instead died from a freak accident to please the fans.

You know what, someone could argue this, but it's a valid point unfortunatly. Eddie, despite being clean, had a history of drug abuse that obviously took its affects on his body. |

I pretty much agree. Not that Eddie's life was less valuable, but he made bad choices and suffered the unfortunate consequences of those choices. Owen should still be alive and it is seriously f***ed up that someone with his talent will mostly be remembered for the fall. He lived his life for his family and it is a shame that he couldn't reap the benefits of all that he worked for. |

I think a lot of the wrestlers we grew up with through the 80's and 90's were using various "substances" that are now catching up to them, and as a result, they're not living so long anymore. Its a real bytch too because these were the guys that were built like superheroes, and we looked at them as such. Now that their lifestyles have caught up to them, we're learning just how mortal these men really are.
Its sad, really.

And just to be sure we are not sexests here, Even Miss Elizabeth, A VALET, was taking these sort of "substances" and that just makes the subject worse!
