So many are dead
Roddy Piper was diagnosed with lymphoma. It's sad how wrestlers have been stereo-typed as only having steroid or drug related deaths. So many stars of the 80's have actually died from much sadder(John Tenta died of bladder cancer last year), to surreal(both Chris Adams and Dino Bravo were gunned down in separate non-wrestling related incidents)to the tragic(Bruiser Brody was stabbed to death in Puerto Rico by a local wrestler who was let off despite the evidence). And don't even mention the VonErich Family (three suicides ending with Kerry shooting himself in the chest with a gun he bought his father after violating his probation for cocaine possession) It also shows how great an achievement for Ric Flair to still be able to do a full schedule while pushing sixty(this after he broke his back in a plane crash in the 70's).
