If that's not a complete Kurt Angle mark, I don't know what is.

It just always struck me in a profession like Wrestling Medical insurance would be some kind of pre requisite for a company to even get access to an arena for fair of bad press like you would get from an in ring death.
But moving right along, from what I hear he lost his wife (or lost and regained), he lost his kid, he has lost pretty much everything most people value more than money, maybe he accepts the risk, maybe he even knows he will die but maybe he also wants to die doing what he loves?
Selfish of him when it affects so many, yes. But not altogether implausible.
And if there is a chance he may live and go on doing what he loves maybe hes willing to take it. I cant really knock the guy for that.

As for medical insurance, I know it's not required for pro wrestling companies due to the fact that all their employees aren't really "employees" per se; they're independent contractors.
