Wrestling isn't something I follow,
But I read an amazing article on the subject of why so many have issues a few years back.

Thanks, will give that a read tomorrow
i really loved it as a kid, i used to watch it when sky first came out, fuck that was like 23 years ago!!!!!! now it just fascinates me, and when you see the fallout for some of the former stars, it's just unbelievable

Its a brilliantly written article,
Also kinda scary that I just looked at a list of wrestlers who have died...... The average age seems to be late 30s, the oldest was 63!
In that article he talks about how they admitted wrestling was fake in order to firstly avoid taxes, but also to classify them as 'entertainers'. Negating the need to conform to regulation that applies to NFL and so on.

I still have a fondness for
the Bushwackers, Hulk Hogan, Doink the Clown, and Jimmy "Supafly" Snukka.
Ultimate Warrior has fallen very, very far in my eyes.
