It's a shame but it's not the most surprising name to be the latest dead wrestler, based on his past issues. Silly boy. RIP.

Stop bleating about "Linda's campaign being dead because of this". If the 7,153 dead wrestlers from the past didn't stop her, this latest self-inflicted early demise won't harm her either.

Linda McMahon doesn't work for WWE anymore. Even when she did, she was only ever a figurehead authority figure anyway (rapidly installed when it looked as though Vince was off to jail, with strict instructions to let Pat Patterson run the company), as it's Vince who calls all the shots when it comes to the on-screen product. Even if you could blame every premature wrestler death on WWE, which logically you simply cannot, Linda would be one of the lesser responsible elements.

It's hardly a boost, no, but it won't be the death of her campaign by any stretch.

Damn, this news actually surprised me.

I got told that a wrestler had died but I was never expecting to be told it was Lance. I always liked him and was loving it when he got paired with Jericho for a while.

29 is just a terrible age to pass away at though, especially leaving behind two young daughters.

R.I.P Lance.

Really sad. Gotta love how WWE handles things from the PR side. They did the same thing with Lance Cade that they did with Umaga last year, they say their condolences sure, but they manage to make sure that they put in the date they fired him. Wouldn't want anyone to think he still wrestled for them. Its sick, you don't mention or date your former employees termination when you are recognizing his death. Makes me hate WWE...

.....

Ok I'm over it now. What matches are on Smackdown tonight? Did not read spoilers.

Can't blame WWE or Linda at all for this. When he got fired the first time from ODing on painkillers Vince paid for his rehab. That's why he was hired back. But can't blame Vince, Linda or the WWE on this one. He wasn't with the company when he died and it's not their responsibility to keep an eye on people not under contract. Plus we don't know what caused the failure even though it looks like drugs. Either way only person to blame is Cade himself for not taking care of his body. But as I said before it's sad to see him go I always liked his work in the ring, maybe not his characters, but he did have untapped potenetial. If he had gotten his shit together I could of seen him as WWE Champ in a few years. He will be missed.

Wow the press is going to have a field day with this one when it comes to Linda's campaign. Not to mention her opponents in the election. They have been bashing her the whole time about WWE's content on television, wrestler steroid/drug use, and young wrestler's dying. I'm sure sweet little Linda screamed out a big "FUCK!!!!!" when she got the news today of Lance Cade dying.

Former WWE superstar Lance Cade passed away this morning. Shawn Michaels, who trained Cade, posted this on twitter:

“aft my morning tweet I got the call about Lance. No words will b good enuff. 1 of my boys is gone. My prayers&thoughts have already been given 2 his family & will continue. Goodbye Lance I Love You. I ask that all of u would lift his family up in prayer.”
I didn't know Michaels had a Twitter account. But it's a verified account, so I guess it is actually him.

Horrible news especially because of how young he was regardless if it was or wasn't because of pain killers or other drugs.

I might have not been much of a fan of Cade but looking back I did like his time as Jericho's lackey since it had potential to become really good in the long run. His time with Murdoch as a tag team was also good in spite of the WWE loosing interest in tag team wrestling.

It depends if you count Charlie Hass brother, Russ Hass, who died during training/development since he was 27 years old.

Crash Holly was younger than Test by 1 year when he died at 32 but Cade now becomes the youngest.

I wonder what got him hooked in the first place.

It's a built in flaw in the "you can't blame WWE because he wasn't under contract" argument. WWE has never exactly been an innocent bystander in the whole "drugs in wrestling" business, and their wellness policy is a crock of shit.

Cade certainly wasn't an innocent bystander either, but I think you do him a disservice by pretending WWE can't be blamed by default.

Then again, the idea this is going to hurt Linda's campaign, or haunt WWE when even Benoit's murderous last days didn't, is fucking retarded.

WWE didn't invent wrestling, nor did they invent drugs. Both were around long before Vinnie Mac and co. had any relevance.

You can say what you want about the schedule, which to be fair is a lot lighter now than back in the day, and the bumps and bruises and injuries but:

a) WWE didn't force anybody into the wrestling business, they chose to become wrestlers under their own volition

b) these wrestlers elected to continue in the business from day one (was was likely a long time before they ever got a shot in WWE) despite the physical pain it may have caused them, be it due to money or passion.

What are WWE meant to do? Throw their arms up in the air and say "you're right! this wrestling business is fundamentally flawed. It hurts! And despite our efforts we are unable to control whether these guys take drugs or not... therefore let's simply shut up shop and close the company down"??

WWE could close their doors tomorrow, and professional wrestlers would still be doing drugs and still be dying young in the years to come. It just winds me up that WWE receive so much heat for this issue (most especially in the cases where steroids aren't a factor). It's a broken record. I fail to see what more they can honestly do. These guys are adults who make their own decisions, and no matter what their situation, they ultimately choose to fuel drug habits of their own accord. There are people in the world working under much poorer conditions than WWE wrestlers, and they aren't popping off in their 20s and 30s due to rampant drug abuse. The blame lies at the cold blue feet of those who decided to do it.

I'm thinking after they released him the last time in April,after keeping him in developmental for so long,that he just finally gave up. Many wrestlers have either killed themselves by suicide or with drugs due to the fact they they can't get that spotlight back, or their body is in so much pain they can't go on any longer. I think both of these factors played a role in this tragic event. My actual first thought was someone should start really looking after Carlito Colon and other "Fallen" superstars before they suffer a similar fate.

I always enjoyed Cade in his tag teams with Jindrak and Murdoch. His angle with Jericho also had potential before it got cut short.

Can't say I'm really surprised, unfortunately, but it's still really sad.

RIP Lance

I think the idea that Linda was merely a figurehead when she was installed as CEO of Titan Sports (Now WWE inc.) would be a better line of attack.

I hate to say it, but people don't care about dead wrestlers. They might care about the fact that her whole campaign is built on a half-truth at best.

This actually really brought me down. I had been thinking of Lance Cade recently, and about how I would not mind seeing the WWE sign him, TNA get him and Murdoch or that new Florida promotion get their hands on him. I was thinking about how he's got a good build to him, and enough in-ring talent to back it up, and that I hoped he had his life sorted.

He was always a guy with "potential" to me. I never felt it was properly realised (even his team with Jericho). It felt like Cade would get enough chances from the WWE to make it, though. Jim Ross seemed especially high on the guy.

Here are some more details from the Wrestling Observer:

It is being reported that Lance Cade's wife Tanya noticed over the past week that Lance was not looking healthy and was apparently having trouble breathing. She called an ambulance and had Lance taken to hospital on Tuesday. At one point he passed out, but was revived in hospital. Lance asked to be released from hospital on Wednesday, then when he got home he walked out and did not return.

Harley McNaught, Lance's father, said Lance showed up at his (Harley's) workplace on Thursday looking unwell. Harley took Lance to his father's home in San Antonio, where he was found dead late last night. His wife does not believe he had been drinking.

My heart goes out to the friends and family of Lance. Especially his two daughters and step-son.

Goddamnit.

Y'know I really want to be sad about this but I'm just becoming more and more apathetic over time. When are these guys going to get a clue?
