1. I know a foremer WWF guy...
He'll be next... And he's got a doctor that prescribes a cocktail that would kill a normal sized guy! The WWF and McMahon are really evil. He leves these guys without the ability to even USE their wrestling name in future work! Savag

2. The difference between the McMahon body count and the Clinton body count
is the McMahons actually killed those listed on their body count.

5. Re: The McMahon Body Count
Why is McMahon responsible for those? A good portion of those people didn't even work for the WWF/WWE or weren't working for them at the time of death.

Others ended up dying of homicides and/or suicides completely unrelated to WWF/WWE matters.

I know it's a sad thing that happens to some wrestlers but blaming all of those on the McMahon family? That's a stretch.

Besides, what about personal responsibility? I don't think they were forced to become addicted to drugs.

I don't get the point of this post at all.

9. Vince McMahon may not be directly responsible for all of them.
Edited on Mon May-24-10 12:42 PM by glen123098
But Vince McMahon has created an environment where taking steroids is acceptable, he even admited to taking them himself. He doesn't give his wrestlers an off season. They are expected to wrestle over 200 times in one year. I don't know how any human being can do that without being on some kind of drug. Also McMahon is known to fire injured wrestlers. Overall McMahon is just a terrible human being and if I were on the jury for one of those wrestlers in a wrongful death lawsuit(the ones who worked for mcmahon), I'd probably rule against Vince McMahon.

6. this list is`t correct
the guys in their 62`s died because of roids? i think they died because of their profession broke their bodies. some of these guys wrestled for his dad and other guys wrestled most if not all their careers in other circuits. i`ve followed wrestling since the early 60`s and most these guys did`t look like the roids of today.

7. Fair enough
But what would the accurate count look like?

Would it be "acceptable?"
