Unfourtunate Shame

I just recently learned from reading OWW that wrestling lost another worker. On January 19 Scott "Bam Bam" Bigelow passed away at the age of 45. Now, the fact that he passed at such a young age is sad and tragic as Bigelow left behind a family and a business. The unfortunate shameful part of his death was that it was stated that the cause of his death was still under investigation. It may not sound shameful but the recent deaths of Eddie Guerrero, Curt Hennig, Davey boy Smith, and Mike Lockwood have put the darker side of the wrestling world into the light and made the assumption of drug abuse easier to make. Now I truly believe that Bam Bam's cause of death will not involve drugs, but until that time the suspicion will be creeping around in the back of the minds of the same fans who chanted "Holy Shit" when he dropped Taz through the ring at ECW. I scream to you, let his legacy be those rtypes of moments and his death be simply as previously stated, sad and tragic. Do not let your judgments be based on the stupidity of others actions. Are you reading this Vince?
