another dies young there saying he was found brain dead

saying he been taken of life support

Don't know the details of this but I wouldn't be surprised if drugs were involved somewhere.

If I remember correctly he was released from WWE when he refused to enter rehab after failing WWE's wellness policy for the second time.


I hope I am wrong though and no drugs are involved.

Another Gone before his time am still in shock RIP .

Thats the thing the WWE are trying they have brought in drug tests in the past few years there also offering to pay for the rehab of current WWE an former WWE superstars if they need to go into rehab which of course Umaga refused when WWE offered it to him. The WWE to be fair cant do much more than it is already doing.

too much strain on them to wrestle 24/7 300 days a yer with no off time we hear all the time from legends who say that wrestlers need some off time they take pills to sleep pill to get up i mean its crazy there been far to many die young we know the list and i dare say we keep adding names untill some 1 does something about it

imo NOTHING WILL

to be fair none of the wwe mob work 300 days a year. and haven't for years. plus, the wrestlers know exactly what they're getting into as far as the workload and time away from home; not to mention the physical nature of the business means bumps, bruises, and broken bones are par for the course. simple truth is no one is forcing them to be wrestlers. bad news but thats's life
