RIP Andrew "Test" Martin

Another wrestler with a drug problem died. This time aged 33.

Will they ever get it?

This blog is worth reading: Steel Cage

If you haven't seen The Wrestler I suggest you do, the story is one that is reality for many entertainers and Micky Rourke is just brilliant. It is a little bloody but the things these guys do for a crowd (and remember we are talking about a low income, low literacy, not exactly transferable skills sort of job. I don't think you can put "can take a steel chair shot" on your resume.)

It is becoming harder to watch. The pic below was my favourite moment when it happened but now just makes me sad and then angry...


Both are dead. One killed his wife and son and then himself. Autopsy revealed his brain condition was that of an 80 year old Alzheimer patient. The other died alone in his hotel room, tooth brush in his mouth. Autopsy revealed an enlarged heart and hardened arteries.

Something must be done.
