Our current sports wasteland leads to my WWE confession

[DrLove]

Professional wrestling isn’t what it used to be.

Yow, THAT guy was a monster......

I met him once. Scary dude. Always in character.

Interesting that Macho Man was always in character. I found the opposite with Hot Rod.

We met a bunch of those guys. Hogan, Randy the big russian who was enormous.
Randy was the only one in character.

Randy's girl Miss Elizabeth died young too 42 - drug overdose.
Ol' Vince had a way of handing out steroids like candy and trashing souls.
She was pretty hot.

Most of those guys and gals lived like many people wish they did. They lived life fast and furious. The ride was short but exciting. And it was rough on them as the years passed. The dark side was going in those days town to town to town many nights a week. Very little family time. Party and training and wrestling.

Ya BUT - Pro basketball, baseball players live long, productive lives after retirement. Famous Olympians too. Football of course is a grab bag due to brain injuries. Not like their scheduling and training is any less brutal.

I blame it on the ROIDS.
