I get the overall point, but the WMVII example is a bad one.
Dino Bravo was murdered, Andre had a disease and lived as long as could be expected, Marella died in a car accident, Earthquake had cancer, and Savage's death is TBD (but likely steroid enduced enlarged heart), but he was almost 60 so its not as if this was a very young man. Big Bossman is a tricky one, overweight but still a bit young for a natural death.
A poster named mookieghana on the Observer boards did a detailed study of dead WWE wrestlers starting from 1980. The results clearly show that the late 80's/early 90's crew lived the most reckless lifestyles (steroid boom), with another significant bump in deaths from the period just prior to the Wellness Policy (painkiller boom).Comment

It just amazes me that guys like Hogan (one of the biggest users of roids) and Flair (one of the most wreckless of lifestyles) out live'em all...maybe its because they are still in the business and thats the key to long life as a wrestler. Once these other guys calm down and get out of the business, their bodies don't adapt or something.

The most jacked up human being I ever saw was Warlord. He could barely walk. He had muscles in his face...his cheeks and forehead...disturbing.
Honorable mentions to Scott Steiner and Tank Toland. I saw Toland work a match in ROH where his backne was bleeding from taking bumps.Comment

In terms of the complete opposite, I'd like to know what kind of gym/diet regiment Roderick Strong got on a few years back. He use to be a chubby guy and then all of a sudden, it looked like he dropped 30 or more pounds and was lean.

Rick Rude was ridiculously gigantic for his frame in the late 80s.

He got lean during that period where seemingly the entire ROH locker room stopped juicing. Brent Albright went from ripped to chubby, Aries got skinny, Strong shrunk, the Briscoes, almost everyone. Right after Benoit.
Castagnoli was the only guy who stayed shredded.Comment

I'll never forget the time I was watching Raw (didnt know it was taped) and Rude was on, I flipped to WCW and he was there too. Talk about a mind fuck.Comment

Chyna is going to try her hand at porn. :bizzaro:
It's been seven years since WWE superstar Chyna released her horrifying sex tape -- and TMZ has learned, she's making a triumphant return to the adult industry ... in an EXTREMELY graphic porno.
It's been seven years since WWE superstar Chyna released her horrifying sex tape -- and TMZ has learned, she's making a triumphant return to the adult industry ... in an EXTREMELY graphic porno.
Vivid President Steve Hirsch tells TMZ, Chyna approached him months ago to breathe life into her XXX career -- demanding to work with the biggest male porn star in the business.
Steve did her one better ... and hooked her up with the TWO biggest male porn stars in the business -- Evan and Lee Stone -- and together, the threesome shot a gnarly skin flick ... tentatively called "Backdoor into Chyna."
The DVD is set for release in the near future -- and if the title is any indication, Chyna may be riding a wheelchair to the premiere party.

I loathe Trips, but he has to be the owner of the biggest upgrade in wrestling history. Going from manly Chyna to rich ass Steph and getting about 10 title runs in the process.

Perhaps true....I also hate that I really don't care for any of the characters on the show. Then again I think Vince knows his characters kind of suck. That's why he keeps trotting Bret Hart's corpse out there.Comment
