That's sad. I hope it's not drug related. I'm not assuming anything but I know that so many of the wrestlers are on pain killers (and sometimes other drugs).
The demands we as an audience place on them is unrealistic. The fans have seen so much and are no longer entertained by headlocks and crossbody presses.
Long ago Stan Hanson's "lariat" (just a running clothesline) was considered a big finishing move. Hulk Hogan's powerslam-leg drop combo or Randy Savage's elbow off the top rope was fantastic.
Now, innovators of the sport like Shawn Michaels and The Hardy Boys as well as many Japanese and Mexican wrestlers have shown us that Swanton Bombs and Moonsaults off of 13 foot ladders into opponents lying on tables are worth the price of admission. I admire all that those dedicated athletes do for the sake of our entertainment, ego statisfaction, and earning a paycheck.
Still, when people like Eddie Guerrero, Brian Pillman, and Owen Hart are dead as a result, the price is very high. I too often feel like I'm in the Roman Colisseum watching gladiators fight to the death.
Condolences to the entire Guerrero family.
