RTSDaddy2:
The state of wrestling today is sad, to interject.  I agree, Vince just goes too far over the top.  I miss the days - again when I was a kid - that there were a bunch of little promotions: NWA, AWA, etc...it was less theatrics and more action, and - quite frankly, it WAS a better product.

At some point, you have to say to yourself, it surely must have been less dangerous for the performers as well to a point; how else do you explain that a lot of those guys are still living and today's heroes (Gurrerro, Benoit, Brian Pillman, etc) are now dead due to drugs or other issues?  The 70s and 80s were either a better time, or the heroes I worshipped as a kid just stayed the hell away from whatever drugs they were offered.


ChadTower:

There ARE a bunch of little promotions.  All over the place.  They're just not on national TV, and that is exactly how it was back in the day too.

If you want small promotion wrestling just do some googling in your area.  You'll probably be surprised at what you find.  The NWA still very much exists and is still spread out in a territorial manner across the US.

And absolutely check out Ring of Honor.  Consistently the best live shows you'll ever see, all available on DVD shortly afterwards.  Coming to PPV soon.

The word now is that Chris strangled his wife and suffocated his boy and then he hung him shelf in his weight room. a sad day indeed.

ChadTower:

Apparently the wife asked for and was given a restraining order against him in 2003.  They later reconciled, obviously.

Toxicology reports are reportedly coming out at 3pm.  It will be interesting to see if they're testing only for recreational drugs or if they'll check for steroids too.

alomar721:
they are looking into the steroids. the news reported it may have will know at 3:00
