Dude that was nuts that was on live tv wasn’t it?

Pay-per-view event. There is no public footage of the fatal fall. WWE will never release it of course. Also interesting to note that the even continued after Owen's death (not without controversy and objections).

Ultimate Warrior and Bautista were both freaks. I remember seeing Bautista at the Arnold classic one year. This guy was a monster.

So damn true. I've read a ton of autobiographies/biographies from/on pro wrestlers, and you're not kidding man. Saying those guys "went hard in the paint" is a great way to describe it. Holy shit, some of the debauchery stories about them partying, booze, coke, other drugs, all night sex party benders, etc... on top of just the brutality of their daily travel and in the ring abuse... it's crazy...

Whenever I come upon a podcast with a retired pro wrestler on it, I always listen to it. You're pretty much guaranteed to be entertained

Rick Flair was a party guy for sure!!!!! The series (Behind the Ring) or something like that are really good!

They would always train at the Gold's franchise gyms when they were visiting Bmore, got to meet allot of them. The coolest was Eddie Guerrero, talked with him a bit about 6 months before he passed. Before he got warmed up he had a really sickly pallor to his skin, even though he was tanned... Also just a tired demeanor when he was not talking or interacting. I remember thinking how unhealthy he looked, even though he was really very lean and jacked.

Hope not, he had just driven back from a run through for his match and was with his young daughter. Didn't have slurred speech or anything. The one dude who looked like no one was home was Chris Benoit.

O yeah I don’t know man all those guys banged hard pills, booze but yeah hips not either

Eddie battled drug & alcohol addiction. I believe he was addicted specifically to pain pills at one point. At the time of his death, he had been sober for a years iirc. Actually, i think his whole wwe career he was sober. All the years of boozing and drugging though i am sure took their toll on his heart. I'm sure gear didn't help but i'm betting that everything combined is what really shortened his life. Also don't think he took his fitness and physique too seriously until the last 5-10 years of his life so i don't think he was on gear for that many years.
