Probably about the same, but with the ever-expanding WWE roster, TNA and ROH expanding as well, there are more visible pro wrestlers than ever, so - even if the percentage is about the same - the quantity is higher.

I think the number of active wrestler deaths has gone up considerably. Although Wrestling pre '98 I am sketchy at best.

I'd say WWF and WCW's rosters combined at least equaled TNA and ROH...

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.

Well you have people like Matt Hardy who have gone on record as saying "our generation is smarter, and learned from the earlier generations mistakes, and we party (use drugs) responsibly"

This of course is the height of ignorance, and his brother is living proof of it. Just because you're not dead doesn't mean you're using responsibly (if there is such a thing as responsible use of illegal drugs).

So you have a bunch of wrestlers who think they're smarter than the wrestlers who all started dropping dead (who obviously thought the same thing).

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.

I don't know. Tri-branded WWE is probably comparable to WWF plus maybe 2/3 to 3/4 of WCW. The current roster is massive.

I don't have exact figures in front of me, but I'm almost sure the WCW roster was larger than the current WWE and TNA rosters combined.
They had TONS of guys under contract. Most of them were sitting at home or in the lockerroom collecting paychecks, not to mention the dozens and dozens that were featured on television.

The massive roster size was actually a big topic of discussion for mismanagement, and one of the reasons they went under.
