Yeah there are, but would be interesting to see how many have died of possible steroid induced conditions (EG heart problems.)
The steroids really kicked in wrestling in the late 80s and throughout the 90s which is why so many have died these past few years as they are in the forties and fifties and their bodies cant keep up

Yup. However, making it to the age he is now is a good sign for him to continue without a lot of problems.

I was once lucky enough to have the piss taken out of me in front of several hundred people by Mr Glover. Still, I gave him some back. Top man.

He was magic in Kes.
'I'll be Charlton....' as he strode around the sports field in full Man Utd strip, around about 73.

I started watching wrestling when some teenagers I taught were going on about it around 98. Although essentially a load of bollocks, I thought it was really funny and entertaining. The Rock was making a name for himself then and I thought he was hilarious - a monster but very intelligent with fantastic comedy timing.
Ric 'Nature Boy' Flair is a ledge - the funniest thing in WWE these days is seeing that old bastard shouting "Whoooooo!" repeatedly as he nearly collapses.

I read heart complacations apparently he was an alcoholic and drug addict and gave it all up about 4 years ago. The damage must have been done already and the roids probably didn't help either.
