You see what stress does to politicians in a short space of time, especially presidents, prime ministers i.e those in the highest office. They don't then turn around and die in a hotel bathroom before turning 50.
I'm saying it's both the mental and physical stress. Putting that much stress on the body by working out, working shows, not getting regular sleep and I'm sure they "play through the pain" all the time, shortens their lives. I'm not oblivious to the fact that steroids are used by all professional athletes (I'm sure pain killers and other drugs are passed around freely), I'm saying there is no one clear reason why wrestlers tend to die at a younger age.
