Andrew "Test" Martin was found dead in his Tampa bay apartment yesterday.
He was 34.
This adds to the recent rash of deaths in professional wrestling,most are attributed to overdoses of pain medications,others are suicides,and some are accidental.
No doubt you all are aware of the Chris Benoit homicides.After Chris Benoit was autopsied,his brain was revealed to be severely damaged,some scientists would compare it with that of a elderly man who had suffered severe dementia.
Those people who say that wrestling is fake,aren't paying attention to how much abuse that wrestlers do to their bodies.
Unlike other sports (or "Sports Entertainment"),there is no off-season.Most of these workers are out on the road 359 days out of the year,with little or no time to recover from injuries or to rest.

The wrestling is meant to be fake, but yes they do get injured. By fake, I mean that they do not intentionally hurt each other. It's not real fighting of course, but they do get hurt very much from the practicing and mistakes during matches.
The Dynamite Kid was a horrible story, it's amazing how he didn't kill his family like Benoit did...
Holy crap, that gash looks painful. Sabu also had many shares of real injuries as well.
I have left Toribash, but will drop in occasionally on the forums and IRC. Still in Sigma.
Accidents are common in sports. I've seen worse things in soccer.
But the funny thing about pro-wrestling is that 90% of injuries are not because of the impact of a kick or a punch, but rather stupid idiotic mistakes by the own person who suffers from it... Lol its specially funny when that happens and the foe is standing still on the floor, acting like a little bitch, not even moving that much.
The problem with pro-wrestlers and overdoses is that they get too much money while being fake 99% of the time. Of course they lose their minds. They get insane because they're not trying to compete with skills, they're just thinking about money and fame. And as we all know, money and fame corrupts and ruins everything around us.
This is not an accident:

Jesus,you're hard headed.Wrestlers have a higher workrate than fucking mixed martial artists,and are more likely to be injured.MMA fighters aren't out on the road almost 365 days out of the year,and if they were,they'd be popping xanax and doing steroids(which some fighters do).
When you have almost no time to recover those injuries mount up,people look for a quick fix,turning to drugs.
Also,I can think of a few Mixed Martial Artists who are very sucessful in Pro-Wrestling,and vice versa.
This is an example of Japanese style pro-wrestling known as shooto,or shoot wrestling.Both Barnett and Frye are very respected MMA fighters,and also compete as pro-wrestlers in Antonio Inoki's IGF promotion.
Bobby Lashley back in Wrestling was a former ECW champion,Wrestling critics called him "Black Lesnar",and with a bit of work on his ground game,we just might see him fight Brock sometime soon.
Kensuke Sasaki is a famous Strong Style pro-wrestler,known for finishing matches with armlocks and chokes.

False, Wrestlers get injured in accidents, or mistakes.
Actual fighters get injured to a certain extent every fight, thats why they can't fight every week of the year.
