What's sad is that wrestling will probably grow stronger from this tragedy. A huge, dysfunctional family bonding together in a time of crisis.

The non-racing public doesn't have the rosiest views of horseracing either...

Did one of Asmussen's horsies kill a mare and her foal and then himself? If not, I fail to see your point.

I was referring to your steroid comment and encouragement by people in charge.

And it's not just professional wrestlers who kill their wives and children. I can understand you don't like wrestling...I feel the same about NASCAR, but I don't view the entire industry as classless.

So this makes the fact that he took the life of his wife and child a non issue or no big deal?? what do all of these folks listed have to do with this situation, besides that they shared the same profession?

If he was mentally ill, like you claimed, then why didn't anyone in his profession notice? Why aren't there mental evaluations of these wrestlers in the WWE and WCW or whatever the **** abbreviation it's under? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to look at that list and see that something doesn't add up.

The fact is the WWE/WCW/NAMBLA doesn't give a fu.ck about anything but money. And taking measures to protect their entertainers is a waste of money to them because they can just go out and hire another meathead to hug another meathead for 5 minutes and charge thousands of meatheads $50 to watch it.

I am by no means a wrestling fan........Cant tell you the last time I even watched it. But to sit here and point fingers as to who is to blame is senseless, the bottom line is that it is a HUGE tragedy regardless of who he was or what he did for a living. At the end of the day 2 innocent people were taken senselessly

Agreed...

My sister feels that way in fact. She finds horseracing cruel.
