There has to be a point in time where they simply shut down the pro wrestling circuit. The amount of tragedy and death is sickening at this point, and eventually someone has to put an end to it. I actually feel guilt watching it now, knowing these people are literally killing themselves for my entertainment.

Realistically if you go by that logic then you have to shut down the Hollywood entertainment history.
How many tragedies do we see in terms of deaths by things like overdoses etc.
If anything you could argue that the WWE has to an extent reformed themselves with the health and wellness program, and on top of that they do more for their former employees then Hollywood ever does.
As for the violent messaging, the stuff that you see on regular TV and regular movies is far in excess of the WWE in terms of staged violence and disturbing actions.
I think there's a huge double standard when it comes to wrestling versus other forms of entertainment.
Are there tragedies in the WWE and with their former wrestlers, sure but for every Chyna there's a River Phoenix. For every Balls Mahoney there's a Chris Farley.
How many stuntpeople have died doing dangerous things or been left crippled, we just don't hear a lot about it.
In terms of movies versus wrestling.
2 hours of home alone movies is more violent and sadistic then the past 10 Wrestlemanias.
