    Warrior's death is a shocking one. RIP my childhood wrestling hero. But is steroids fully to blame or is it the lifestyle wrestlers live?

    Will 90s + 00s wrestlers live to be older than 80s ones? Surely the likes of Batista, Cena and the Rock (the latter has admitted he's used) have not got to their size without the help of a drug substance.

    Will both join the "Didnt Make It To 60" club?



    Randy Mario Poffo, better know as "Macho Man" Randy Savage, died in May 2011 at the age of 58 from an enlarged heart.

    Edward Fatu, better known as Umaga, Died in December 2009 in Houston at the age of 36 from a heart attack, apparently caused by the use of hydrocodone and other drugs.


    Andrew Martin, better known as Test, died in March 2009 at the age of 33 from an apparent accidental overdose.


    Sherri Martel, also known as Scary Sherri and Sensuous Sherri, died in June 2007 at the age of 49 of an apparent overdose.



    Michael Alfonso, better known as Mike Awesome, died in February 2007 at the age of 42 of an apparent suicide.


    Nelson Frazier Jr. – who wrestled under the names Big Daddy V, Viscera and King Mabel – died in February 2014 at the age of 43 of an apparent heart attack.

    Scott Bigelow, better known as Bam Bam Bigelow (right), died in January 2007 at the age of 45 from apparent drug use.


    And one of the saddest, Miss Elizabeth

    A medical examiner listed the cause of death as "acute toxicity," brought on by a mix of painkillers and vodka.

    So the sad recurring causes seem to be heart problems, drug abuse and suicides. Does no longer being in the spotlight be too much for many ex Superstars?

    Is Steroids fully to blame? And will the current batch of stars buck the trend?
