Steroid abuse has taken a horrible toll on the health and lives of pro wrestlers. What I find most sad and troubling is that the wrestling industry's target audience appears to be kids and uneducated people who want to emulate their heroes whom they consider athletes, when many of these wrestle-tainers owe a good deal of their body/muscles and supposed athleticism to steroid abuse.

I don't follow pro wrestling, however I've heard that over 100 pro wrestlers have passed away before 50 due to heart attacks and other ailments related to steroid abuse.

Over one-quarter of the performers who took part in 1991's Wrestlemania VII have died, a wrestling website noted in the wake of the death of "Macho Man" Randy Savage.

The Wrestling Observer newsletter discovered that 14 of the 51 performers at the event have died in the past 20 years, with many of the deaths attributed to drug use

109 wrestlers die in a decade

This article was originally published on July 5 2007, with a figure of 104 wrestlers passing away before the age of 50 in 10 years. It has since been updated with new deaths and the shocking total now stands at 109.
