    You can hear the hurt and anger when he talks about those guys that are no longer around. I think warrior said it best and he said guys curt henning and Rick rude and davey boy just never grew up and couldn’t get over the wrestling business. I look at guys like hogan and flair and look that they went through and you ask urself how the hell are those guys still alive ? It’s crazy but you can see how frustrated it is to hear your friends dying after stupid decisions they make..

    There was a span there during the early and mid-2000's where we lost a lot of great wrestlers. Thankfully, it seems as though that trend has slowed down with the exception of Bray Wyatt (though that was from COVID, not drugs). Still...you have to think that they wrestlers today remember what happened to those guys. That and the rigorous drug and medical testing they do now certainly helps.
