Today, we wrestling fans found out that yet another death has happened in the world of professional wrestling.  The latest was Andrew Martin, AKA Test.  This is very sad. He was only 33 years old, 4 days away from his 34th birthday. So sad. I am sure the WWE Universe remembers his being part of The Unamericans, being a teammate with Albert and having a brand new Diva named Trish Stratus manage them. His character was supposed to marry Stephanie McMahon, but HHH broke that up as you all know. 

I never was a huge fan of his. I thought he was limited in the ring, but at times, he could be entertaining.  I am so very sorry that his family, friends, and former co workers have to hear this news.  Also very sad to see another wrestler die before age 50. 

SOmething NEEDS to be done.  This is getting ridiculous.  Too many of these talented people are dropping dead like flies. As alot of ya know, Test got fired (the first time)WHILE being HURT. He was recovering from neck fusion surgery and he got canned. What a message that sent.  No wonder these people take painkillers up the wazoo.  These people should not play hurt. I know it is also a football mentality to "play hurt." However, the difference between the prima donna football players and wrestlers is that the NFL stars (and stars in other sports) have an off season to lick their wounds.  Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, and all those guys do not have to play a 60 minute football game 5 DAYS A WEEK or so like WWE Superstars do.  The NFL has a UNION also to help their players out.  Sometimes a Union can be a hindrance like the MLB's players union objecting to drug testing.....look at MLB now with the Roids and such.  I mean, WWE Superstars ARE stars of the tv screen.  Even the ACTORS like Johnny Depp have a union.  I do not see any reason why these people should not have a union for their own benefit.  The body is not meant to work like the WWE Superstars do 4 or 5 days a week.  There has to be something that can be done.

RIP Test and you and your family, fans and colleagues are all in my prayers.
