One of the worst mistakes a middle-aged man can make is deciding to look up the wrestling lads they fondly remember from their youth. Hint: they're all dead from a surprising variety of horrible conditions. I think the worst I recall was an unexpected murder-suicide; the autopsy revealed early-onset dementia through head trauma, with the brain's owner (Chris Beniot) likely not being in control of his own actions anymore. Also from the "that's horrible and I wish I didn't know that" file: Jake 'the Snake' Roberts being the offspring of the 12 year old daughter of his paedophile father's girlfriend, eventually being abused by his old man and step-mother at a similar age 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Jake turned his life around thanks to DDP. There's a film about it "Resurrection of Jake Roberts " and I thoroughly recommend it to wrestling and non wrestling fans alike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford Bridge Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 When I lived in America the radio show I listened to had a bit where they could see if it could go 90 days without a wrestler dying. It never went past about 6 weeks. Ironically, one of the producers of said radio show now works for WWE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot he was one of the covid nutters, he can probably be found in the discontent thread where all the vaccine specialists have suddenly become financial experts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take-away from this is that the WWE employs people who murder their former employees as it saves them royalty money. ...nah, they don't pay royalties. Or offer a medical insurance plan, or retirement fund, as I recall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sure don't. They will however fire you if you're making money off your own back on the likes of Twitch and that. A despicable company operated by a sex offender. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They severely do their backs necks and knees in. I'm not a big Joe Rogan fan, but when I heard he did interviews with the Undertaker and Diamond Dallas Page, I had to listen. For anyone wanting to know more about the long-term effects of wrestling injuries, listen to those two podcasts. Harrowing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
