It's horribly tasteless. Promoters and bookers aren't throwing their bodies around a ring 300 times a year. They're not expected to maintain their physique despite an insane travel schedule. It's not hard to understand why wrestlers have substance abuse issues. I was at Wrestlemania 8 in 1992 at the Indianapolis Hoosierdome. It's scary to see how many of those guys are not with us any more.

It's incredibly tragic that a guy like Hawk gives himself to Christ, gets clean, and yet dies young anyways because his prior abuse issues caught up with him. The same thing goes for Eddie Guerrero. He was clean at the time of his death. But past cocaine and steroid use had enlarged his heart and it cut his life short. ___ By the way, if you want to make a post bashing God, have some respect and save it. Even if you don't believe in God, you can't deny that faith has helped a lot of people change their lifestyles. Shawn Michaels would probably be in the ground right now were it not for getting saved.
