Wrestling Deaths If you have not heard in the news this week, another Pro Wrestling death occurred. During the weekend of June 23, 2007, Chris Benoit, 40, committed suicide but also took the lives of his wife and 7-year-old son. As horrible as the details are of this murder/suicide, the other issue that many people are missing is the amount of deaths that have occurred in the Goldberg - WWEwrestling industry.
This year alone, eight former or active WWE superstars have passed away. And since 1985, 96 wrestlers have died before the age of 65. Yeah 96! What a staggering number. No other entertainment or sport industry can boast the morality rate that pro wresting has.
So what is the cause behind all these deaths? Eric Cohen at About.com brings up several factors that contribute to this high mortality rate - recreational drug use, steroids, overdoses of pain killers, large bodies (extra weight that causes cardiovascular issues) accidents and old age.
Should there be the creation of an oversight board that regulates the industry or some sort of government intervention from either the state or federal level that helps prevent any more deaths? Maybe pro wrestling needs to apply for a license to operate in each state they perform in like boxing. This directive would be one good way to regulate or police an industry that fails to police itself.
What should be done? I would like to hear you opinions on this.
