Wrestlers family found dead

[JenBKR]

Wow.......it would make sense if he was on steroids. Still...hard to fathom killing your own child, spouse.....I can't even imagine the thoughts that were probably going through that little boy's mind as he was being smothered by his own father Prayers for this family, especially his other children.

Just another reason to hate 'roids. They are evil things aren't they. It's too bad the wife and kid had to suffer at his hands. Mike watches that stuff all the time and the prevailing attitude is kind of scary (not to mention offensive)to me. I know it's fake, but, it's so dang violent and so derogatory towards women, it's a little tough, I'm sure, sometimes to separate reality from fantasy.

I hope they are all at peace now. I'm sorry also for their families who now have to mourn on earth.

I just seen the news of what happened and I just can't believe it...
strangled his wife, smothered his son and hung himself
I always liked him, so sad to know he was capable of this.

The steroid effect even has a nickname: Roid Rage. I think that indicates how common it is.

What does Mike think of this story, Mugsy?

[Argranade]

This is so sad,

My brother is such a huge wrestler fan,

He did not belive this at first & neither did I, untill I heard it on the news.

Horrible.

What does Mike think of this story, Mugsy?

Mike said the thought it was a case of a severely depressed man who was on steroids and lost his mind. He also said it's too bad that he was in a business that glorifies the use of steroids.

A few little tidbits.

Vince Mc Mahon has had some little business problems with steroids and the wrestling biz.

He and Terry "Hulk" Bollea testified in Congress on the abuse of steroids and the charges that VM supplied wrestlers with 'roids.

CB was known for his 'cut throat' motion before pinning an opponent. He'd draw a thumb across his throat then make the move- That 'sign' caught on in the NFL until the commish, Paul Tagliabue put an end to it.

There have been several other suicides by people in the WWF/WWE/WCW
alliances in the last few years.

I believe it was Owen Harte, one of the Harte Brothers wrestling team who fell to his death at a WWE event. Brett Harte, Owen's brother; left the WWE after an event where he "lost" a title in a match he was guaranteed by VM to win.

Back in the 60's to early 80's wrestling was fun to watch.

Too much BS now.

I'd rather watch IFL-UFC fights.

I haven't watched wrestling in years-but I always check it out when I hear about a wrestler's death.

Bret Hart had a bad stroke about 3 years ago...he has slowly regained his health, and does a lot of charity work...attending the events, not performing in them!

He was at an event here in Cochrane a couple of years ago, and I went up to him, shook his hand. Very gentle and approachable fellow, and polite. Is he always like that? Who knows? Perhaps his brother's death and his own health scare had given him a different look on things.

Nope...Olympic wrestling, based on the Greek style, is the only real wrestling around anymore, IMO.

This other steroid-driven parody won't leave until the tickets stop selling, and the tvs are switched off during broadcast times.

Too bad.
