Of course, because they can justify it that Durante wasn't an active star like them or whatever lies they tell themselves when all these people turn up dead. | Hogan's My Dad

Reposted on: 26.9.10 2016.08 | Fellas, let's wait for some facts. It says he AND his girlfriend were dead. To me that doesn't sound like a "wrestling death".
And if you listen to Keller, based on his conversations with wrestlers he believes the boys have learned from the mistakes of the past. They have seen what constant steroid abuse, painkiller addiction, and the abuse of illegal substances can ultimately do. There are no people with obvious drug problems today; save for Jeff Hardy who they offered to rehabilitate and refused, and thus faced subsequent termination. Guys are handling themselves better than ever before, and there's no more 30 straight days on the road garbage. Now they try to get people home 3 days a week...the business has changed in accoradance with these tragedies.
Brian Pillman had a diseased heart inherited from his father, and he took steroids & cocaine and copious amounts prescription pills over the years, furthering weakening it. Every saw he had a problem. No one really did anything. But he probably would have died young anyway.
Curt Hennig took cocaine for 20 years and it caught up with him.
Elizabeth mixed painkillers and alcohol. This is a common mistake, but it is a very dangerous mistake. What does her death have to do with the wrestling business? Cashiers, lawyers, waiters, and computer analysts have all made this horrible mistake. This death has nothing to do with wrestling.
JYD turned over his car. Rick Rude juiced for 30 years.
These people made obvious mistakes, but I don't think we can say the ignoring of their passings by promoters is the reason no one's learned from their deaths. People have learned. The only wrestling deaths that have taught us nothing, are those of Owen Hart and Brusier Brody.

Reposted on: 26.9.10 2027.04 | Looks like it was linked to painkillers. More from Meltzer:
Media sources in Rhode Island along with police have confirmed a series of needles found near the bodies of Anthony Durante and Dinna Hulsey, who were found dead yesterday in their rental house in Misquamicut, RI.
Oxycontin, a slow released painkiller drug that has gained popularity in pro wrestling in recent years was found near the body. Both victims had fresh needle marks, from apparent recent drug use.

Reposted on: 26.9.10 2122.03 | I wasn't saying that the promoter's had to do anything differently, although REAL drug testing for illegal narcotics would be nice. Not the "when he see a needle hanging out of your arm" testing policy.
It's just interesting and disturbing that in the past 10 years there have been so many drug related deaths or deaths of people with drug problems in the wrestling industry. Sure, they might not have been active competitors but it says something about the industry.
Is it the industry that leaves people physically dismantled and chemically dependant? Or does the industry attract those too weak or too uninformed to make the right choices?
Granted, it appears on the surface that there isn't the party atmosphere of the 80's and it's a lot of that generation that's dropping dead so perhaps some wrestlers have learned.
My original point was more of an overall statement about drug abusers. That no matter how many people they see die, they can always justify their behavior to themselves.

That's pretty cold. What if you have a close relative that becomes an alcoholic. Are you just going to give up on them and say, "Fuck Them"? Or are you going to be inconsistent?

That's a pretty backwards justification. So it's all your fault if you die from a substance abuse, unless that substance is endorsed by the media? So if the media started praising heroin as a good relaxent, would it be alright if I overdosed on that? | ShiftyTheClown

Well, to me, if you OD you are an idiot. If you are doing drugs with your two children in the house, you are an asshole. If you are so stoned that you cant function and it effects your children, then you are scum. So, if you OD and leave your kids orphans, I pretty much have no sympathy for you. The whole "Thats cold" doesnt effect me. Why should I pity or feel bad for somebody who makes a decision to do something that will kill them? Like I said, FUCK THEM! | FurryHippie

So if life isn't going great for you and if things are shitty, then it's ok to do drugs ? And to do drugs when you have children to take care of ?
If things are so bad, give the kids to a family member until you can get help.
If you refuse to try to get help and continue to abuse drugs, I would like to say that you deserve anything that happens to you.........but that would be totally unfair to the children.

This is what I do know, The stupid fuckers, for whatever reason, made a choice to shoot drugs, and possibly mix them with Oxycontin, while they had thier children in the house with them. For whatever reason, it doesnt matter. They have a hard life? So do a lot of people, and they dont all OD with thier kids in the house.
The end result, is, they were irresponsible parents, and irresponsible humans. The reason or the "how it happened" to me, doesnt matter. I dont care about why they decided it was a good idea to take so many drugs that it killed them, that, to me is a bullshit cop out. They had a hard life? To bad so sad. Lots of people have bad lives and dont OD and leave thier kids alone in the world. |
