Probably would have lived longer if he wasn't a wrestler.  But seriously, despite the fact that I fucking hate pro wrestling and think its one of the dumbest things ever, I have always had great respect for the people that do it.  No matter how cheesy the entertainment itself is, the things these people do are pretty amazing.  No matter how little affection I have for it, I have to give respect to the people for their dedication to the art.

Totaly agree, I find myself sometimes watching it just to see the stunts, and there've been a few jaw dropping eye popping ones in the past.

I watch wrestling avidly. But it is hard to look past the stupid repetitive story lines and obvious catch phrases at times.
