How do we know that the 'doctors' the WWE uses didn't disclose this information to Chris? Maybe he didn't quite know that he was as messed up as he was.

Sure, if the family saw changes in him... they do have a resposibility... but there shouldn't be a blind eye to the employer or the individual in this case. It'd be like telling half the story.
I see both sides as well. Vince McMahn is living in the stone age. More than one former wrestler has stated that they are basically treated like cattle. But if the wrestlers are going to let Vince McMahn take advantage of them. He will continue to do so.

Maybe some of these wrestlers need to ask themselves. Is it worth being a cripple or a vegtable to be a millionaire? Some younger ones probably aren't too worried about it. But how rich do you need to be, if your going to drastically shorten your life expectancy?
