The murders and suicide of Chris Benoit might be the death of pro wrestling. In the past, steroid use usually resulted in the death of just the users. However, Benoit didn't just kill himself, it spilled over into the deaths of innocents. Now the public is going to start demanding changes in all sports to rid ourselves of this junk.
With the surge in popularity of MMA (Mixed Marital Arts), pro wrestling has a choice to make. Start getting aggressive in testing these guys for 'roids which will result in a smaller less showman wrestler or leave it as it is which will probably result in some serious public backlash.
I was a big fan of the squared circle when I was a kid, but I started to see that trend was all about bigger, bigger and bigger. You just cannot get the kind of bodies these guys have without taking a needle in the ass on a regular basis.
Needless to say, I think Vice McMahon's days as a public figure may be numbered.
