The numbers don't lie and the professional wrestling industry is a dangerous profession. The fact that a number of wrestlers die before they reach the age of 50 should tell that something is not right. However, the WWE has done a good thing by eliminating steroid and drug use completely. Not only that, but the WWE has banned chair shots to the head to prevent other long-term injuries occurring on a frequent basis.
It's not right for the media to downplay the efforts that are currently being made by the WWE to become a healthy business. Their efforts should be commended. However, I would have to say the schedule is still a rough road for many wrestlers. For the WWE to truly prevent further early deaths, a paid off-season to give time for the wrestlers to heal their injuries should be the next step to ensure the safety and well-being in the future of their wrestlers
Great blog man..Good use of layout and images...The bar chart graph was extremely useful in putting your point across clearly. The summary and conlusions you came to I totally agreed with.
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree with Floyd about your summaries and conclusions! Being a fan of wrestling myself i was shocked to see the numbers of wrestlers dying before the age of 50. I'm happy to read though that the company is slowly beginning to become a safer place taking out steroids and drug use! Now i know why the chairs have not been used in recent matches hehe. Hopefully now that things are starting to change fans can still enjoy a great match and expect to see their fav. pro-wrestlers outlive 50! Great work enjoyed reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog! like the layout and images you used to make your point. I believe that by not using much of drugs and steroids will make it a longer life for wrestlers, thanks for the blog I am not a fan myself but think is great to have more info and read about them.
