Guerrero; A lot of times the drugs and the toll on thier bodies is what kills them. Even though this is Sports Entertainment, many wrestlers give their all to ensure that the fans get their moneys worth and enjoy the show. It's sad but many of them would rather die doing what they love instead of dying of bordem behind a desk.

There are also many that you didn't mention.Wrestling takes a toll on the body in itself,not to mention the drug use,alot of these guys you mentioned were at one point on top of the world (well the wrestling world)and came crashing down fast,and they turned to drugs or worse suicide.Also a few were rather large and that isn't good for the heart.The list is only going to get longer!!

I think it's gonna get a lot worse, sadly. I think these people should take more care of themselves this year. I don't want them to be next!
Bobby Heenan- He looks like hell, I hpoe he's all right!
Jake "the Snake" Roberts- Watch the liver, dude
Warrior- He also looks like hell now
Vader- He used to be huge
Dusty Rhodes- He used to be huge
One Man Gang- Another big guy
Rikishi- Another big guy
Kamala- Another big guy
All these big guys might have heart problems. I wish they'd get checked out.
Ric Flair- He's way too old to be taking the beatings he takes on a regular bases. Poor guy. I feel bad watching him. He used to be great. It makes me so mad to see him jobbing to Umaga and other people not fit to tie his shoes!
The Undetaker- This man is STILL going strong at his age. He better watch his heart, too.
Terry Funk- Need I say more?
Mick Foley- See above.
That's all I can think of.
I hope they all live to see 100, but I must face the facts.

Don't insult Eddie Guerrero. That is the meanest thing I have ever heard anyone say about Latino Heat after he died. R.I.P. Amigo.

Dont forget, the Undertaker died, but obviously i forgot he has super powers that can bring him back to live. That just slipped my mind.
