In wake of the Benoit tragedy, fellow Blickees.com author Jermaine Gibson linked me to this article which lists professional wrestlers who died before the age of 65. A fair amount of these deaths can be linked to steriod usage. Many of my favorite childhood wrestlers are on this list, including Rick Rude, Hercules, Hawk (of the Road Warriors), and Junkyard Dog. Very sad indeed
