A quote from Wade Keller, a writer of PWTorch.com:
“There is a top wrestler in WWE today who is considered to be on the unofficial death watch, whose death, due to his credentials, would make the considerable news coverage of Eddie Guerrero’s death this week look minor by comparison. It’s no secret to most within WWE; if it’s not known by Vince McMahon, someone needs to tell him the system needs to be changed. It’s one thing to show how much you care about a colleague by crying on the air after he dies. It’s another to care enough about someone to do what it takes while he’s alive to keep him from dying – even at the expense of box office receipts, storyline interruptions, and being deemed pushy, nosy, or a nark.”
Now I’m not going to speculate who it is, nor will I speculate if there’s any truth to it. I don’t know the whole story nor do I claim to, but if a top wrestler is on the death watch, it’s time to do what it takes to keep him alive. The last thing we need is another wrestler death, especially that of a major star. While Eddie Guerrero wasn’t a huge star, he was and is still well respected and well admired by fans and wrestlers alike… imagine the shockwave a bigger name passing away will cause, mostly because of the ineptitude of a company who knew about his condition and did nothing to remedy it.
One is enough. And we’ve had more than that already.
We don’t need another wrestling-related death this year.
