I heard about Chris Benoit of course, knew about Owen Hart's terrible accident,Yokozuna's heart attack & the British Bulldog . . . but I hadn't heard that Rick Rude, Mr. Perfect and Big Boss Man were dead.
Live fast, die young sounds like it could be a new motto for the WWE the way things are going!! Eddie Guerrero was one year older than me when he died. Gives me pause for thought.
Then again, there are plenty of wrestlers that seem to do very well for themselves like The Rock, Hulk Hogan etc. My brother listens to Sirius radio & tells me that he heard an interview with The Shiek on the Howard Stern Show & that the guy is certifiably nuts. He apparently was raving about "Jews" & "Homos" & calling Macho Man Randy Savage a cock sucker and so on. I only heard this second hand, but my bro' was telling me that he was cracking up listening to him in the car because Shiek was so completely out of hand during the interview.
