I grew up on wrestling n spent many a nights being terrorized by my older cuzzins about the different characters. Over the the yrs I have continued this love hate relationship. Cheering on the good guys n sometimes the bad guys. After so long of being entertained by these great human beings i've come to realize now wat they put their bodies thru each n evy wk for our entertainment. You see the stories in the news every couple of yrs of one of these super stars dying unfortunate deaths there primes. Not even hitting the age of 50.
The common denominators seem to be suicide, overdose (usually steroids and/or cocaine) or heart attacks. The steroids i think seem to play a major role in all three forms of death. They wanna be stronger, faster and bigger based on our demands (the public) of what real "men" should look like, act like. Which is totally unrealistic, these r human beings, wit families, wit kids. If u go to the gym daily n don't look all beef up n juiced up, y should they? They shape their bodies on the images of what "we" want don't u think its time we changed wat a "man' looks like?
Then there r the overdoses. Always trying to get the better stuff, the stronger stuff. For some it was about the high. Mixing different things to try to get the better look and the best high. The others it was about beating the competition. All in all they reached that ultimate high that they wont come back from.
Not to mention wat it does to the brain. The roid rage, the aggression and the suicide. All of those hormones from the steroids messes wit the chemistry in their brains not to mention the numerous concussions. A perfect example of this is one of the best wrestlers of all time hands down chris benoit (god rest his soul). If u looked at his brain there was so much scar tissue and holes.
How can a human being function properly wen his brain looks like this?
Now for the matters of the heart attacks another great wrestler Eddie guerrero aka "latino heat" (may he also rest in peace). Steroids r hormones that make the muscles bigger.Ur heart is also a muscle the biggest muscle u have .It can only pump so much n get so big eventually its gonna burn out. Put on top of that if u already had a heart condition, the odds r not in ur favor. Take a look at wat "we" is doing to family men, brothers,fathers and husbands. Is it worth it?
