Is it really shocking anymore? It seems now every few months we hear about one of these guys going belly up. I stopped watching it after the Owen Hart tragedy myself. It would be intersting to see the actual mortality rate of proffesional wrestlers, I bet it would rank as one of the most dangerous proffesions in the world. Imagine if any other "sport" had a young mortality rate as high as these guys, US congress would be involved. But because it is percieved as a bit of a freak show / fringe culture thing I think it just enables the promotions to stay more or less out of the limelight.
