With all the recent wrestling deaths, I'm wondering...

This isn't about Chris specifically, since we've lost Sherri recently, and we've had quite a few younger folks die in the last couple of years.

What do you think is going to take for things to change? Will there ever be a change? I mean, it always seems these deaths cluster together for a "dropping like flies" appearance, and this can't sit well with the general fan base, nor with the stockholders.

Benoit and Eddie both gave wrestling black eyes in different ways, as the one highlighted drug abuse, and was the first active roster deah of "importance" in years, and Benoit killed his family in a horrendous fashion that is going to make the news, and probably be roid rage, no matter what.

Mike Awesome would probably be great fuel for the media, were he better known generally.

And right now, if anyone dies for any reason, even a car crash or complete fluke, people will be all over it.

Is it too much? Should something be done? can something be done?

Is it too much? Should something be done? can something be done? �There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old�s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.� --John Rogers
