Pro Wrestling Deaths Occurring at an Alarming Rate

The pro wrestling industry has seen several deaths that were mainstream stars coming at such an alarming rate that is actually pretty scary. More wrestlers have been dying rather young before the age of 50. I know that there are multiple causes of deaths but something must be done to slow it down. There is no chance of that as death is inevitable. This year alone has seen deaths of stars that I actually remember in my youth back in the late 1980s and 1990s. Several names like Bam Bam Bigelow, Bad News Brown, Mike Awesome, Sherri Martel, Chris Benoit, and Nancy "Woman" Benoit. If I forgot a name that used to wrestler for WWE, WCW, ECW, or currently TNA, I do apologize as I tried to get that off memory. Other than Bad News Brown, the rest of the wrestlers have died before the age of 50.

I realize that some of the causes can be drug-related like overdose or perhaps suicide. Something like that should be taken care of immediately. It is something that should never be done. Killing yourself really is not the way to go no matter how right it may seem like at the time. There will be a justified reason for doing such a thing. It is hard to get into someone's mind as to why they would do that. For Mike Awesome, I think it was the case of something must have really put so far down in the dumps that he felt he had no choice but to take his own life. I don't know what caused it exactly. The other one was Chris Benoit, who somehow hung himself after allegedly killing his wife and son. I stress the word allegedly as there is an investigation still going on and hopefully the facts will come in rather soon.
