The WWE received a letter from two congressmen yesterday in regard to the steroid and drug culture associated with the business.
Hopefully this will make the 'sport' a better place for those performers who risk their lives in the search for fame and glory.
Sure, it could see the business change as we know it but it will be worth it won't it?
I won't have to tell friends of mine that another star has passed away and hear the 'not another one' response that I have heard far too many times in the last ten years plus.
If wrestling cannot survive with the changes then it mustn't survive.
I am not saying this for shock value - I really am fed up having to see star upon star pass away due to the pressures they have placed upon their bodies.
There is more to life than professional wrestling. I realised this more than ever over the last month. It's a shame it took the death of two innocent people for myself and others to realise that there are major problems that need to be addressed.
One of the most poignant paragraphs I read in the coverage this month was from a writer in Florida who said that he was able to contact Jack Brisco, a wrestler from his youth. He was able to reminisce with him about the way wrestling used to be, The journalist ended his piece by saying when he hung up with Brisco all he could think of was the young fans of today who make the call to their heroes from wrestling in years from now and there not being anyone on the other end of the line.
The investigation may enable those fans to be able to contact the legends of tomorrow twenty years from now.
