the toll that that lifestyle takes on one's body and mind is horrible. it's unfortunate that they die so. It's Carnie life

So many wrestlers are gone. I feel sad when I look at my old tapes...

I hope this sends a clear message to the people these days. Nothing in the world is being done about steroid use, besides suspending players from some sports. I feel that if you test positive for an anabolic steroid, you are banned from playing the sport, attending any future games, get slapped with a $1 Million fine, and thrown in jail for 3 months. That should show these people.

Its all about the steroids. Always has and always will, theres noway you can get that big in bodysize without some help. Do that for 20 years and your a wreck for sure.

What's worse is how incredibly stupid "wrestling" is in the first place.

I can't believe people pay to see this "theater of the inane," much less that people will waste their lives doing it.

Of course, it's the money they want, but if you're going to court death, why not do something meaningful with your life.

The article states, quite correctly:

"Nobody forced these guys to take copious amounts of steroids and painkillers to boost their careers, or told them that the best way to relax and make friends on the road is to get loaded on booze and coc aine.

So, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
