The well-publicized death of Eddie Guerrero brought the issue of pro wrestling’s intensive lifestyle to the forefront. While it was always a background concern for wrestlers and insiders, it suddenly became a major talking point.
According to PWTorch.com, Guerrero’s death horrified one top WWE wrestler’s wife to the point that she asked him to quit the business. Confident that he would not be a casualty of the business, however, he refused to fulfill that request.
Supposedly, that concern is not limited to the wife and wrestler in question. A number of family members, particularly spouses, are worried about the toll the industry might take on WWE performers.
