is the mortality ragte of wrestlers higher than ever before?

Its probably seen as worser since with the internet and fast spread of news, people know more about steroids/drug abuse and the effects it has on the body.

Since the average wrestling fan can access wrestling news websites it means now more people besides the small IWC can find out more about wrestlers or their past history involving steroids or drugs.

The biggest shock isn't that wrestlers are dying but the ages of wrestlers since the older times, wrestlers tended to be much older and had longer careers due to the territory structure. Today, emphasis is placed on quicker development of youth wrestlers so they get pushed faster than the years it took before someone like a Mick Foley or Booker T before they could reach the top spots.

Wait... what? How does this have any impact on the life expectancy of wrestlers? If your point was agreeable, and it's not, surely wrestlers would not engage in such dangerous behaviours.

I should have written that a bit better since it was meant to be about wrestling fans or sports fans in general in how the internet allows them to be more informed about roids and stuff compared to the past.

Didn't mean it to actually involve wrestlers themselves or else that would be more of the wrestlers being ignorant of the effects and continue to take them if it meant a guaranteed push.
