Interesting Article about Dead Wrestlers from Macho Man's era

The report states that of the 51 talents who appeared at the 1991 WWE pay-per-view WrestleMania VII, 14 have died prematurely?"The Texas Tornado" Kerry Von Erich, Dino Bravo, Andre the Giant, Joey Marella, "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith, Mr. Perfect, Miss Elizabeth, Hawk, Hercules, Big Boss Man, Earthquake, Sensational Sherri, Crush and Randy Savage. This list does not include Gorilla Monsoon (62, natural causes) and Lord Alfred Hayes (76).

By comparison, of the 44 professional football players who started on both offense and defense at Superbowl XXV between the Buffalo Bills and the New York Giants, all remain alive.

For professional boxing, of the 44 boxers to hold a major world championship in 1991 (WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO), two are dead.

Of the 50 musicians to perform at the 1991 and 1992 Monsters of Rock festivals in England (an annual music festival which would attract the biggest names in hard rock and heavy metal music), all remain alive.

So lets blame the WWE again. Wrestling will forever be tainted by steroids and drugs and that's the reason it will never be what it once was. Every time someone dies they will always contribute it to the steroids they were on while being wrestlers. Andre the Giant outlived his life expectancy and died of heart failure due to his giantism. Savage and Marella died in auto crashes. Von Erich committed suicide, Bravo was murdered, Elizabeth overdosed. Most of these individuals we're long gone from WWE when they died. Ridiculous for anyone to blame WWE for these deaths. Wrestling is a tough lifestyle but it s a chosen lifestyle. Each individual also chooses how they take care of they're body.

Andre shouldn't count
