yeah, he's dead, bro. I believe it was an OD, or heart attack, or something related to drugs... would make sense, he treated himself pretty badly for a long time. It's a shame. Another wrestler dead
Yea Mad dog died at a rehab place. It's a shame because in the movie he explained how he tried to take his life once before. His dad also felt that that his son would kill himself. I feel for the family and his wife. He was rumored to have used pain killers and other stuff, sometimes it's the combo of what you take. The movie if some have not seen it is very good and was done very professionally. Smelly (Mike Bell) is a very good powerlifter who uses Westside template. RIP Mad dog.
I don't mind him being in the movie, I think he's funny and makes a good point about the "pipe dream". BUT everyone who is not familiar with why his arms are the way they are is going to assume steroids made them that way... they should have explained the difference.
I feel real bad for mad dog's wife crying in the movie when he was still talking about moving to California and doing something. That was sad.
I'm so glad he asked the dad of that kid who killed himself about anti-depressants playing a role in suicide and depression. His response sums up the whole anti-steroid phenomenon, "All the intellectual arguments don't matter to me."
