Maybe Skoal Bandit but I think it the ChairShoot cuase it.
Wrestling's fake, pass it on.
He died because of heart failure brought upon by either his years of drug abuse or abuse of steroids. An autopsy will reveal the cause.
You're right, but the "wrestling is fake" line isn't. It's predetermined and they aren't really hitting each other hard, obviously, but if you think for one second it's all fake and nobody gets hurt, you're absolutely wrong. Matches are predetermined, they're mostly all really friends, and they aren't connecting full force. But you try taking a suplex in the ring like they do. It hurts. And you can't "fake" a chair shot to the head. They don't use magic chairs that are actually made of some crazy metal just invented by wrestling that is very durable, sounds and looks just like a regular chair, but feels like a nice pillow. It's a real chair.
That said, I sincerely doubt the chairshot had anything to do with it. Guys get hit with chair shots all the time. In all likelihood, his past caught up with him. Even though he's been clean for four years, the drug abuse in his past probably weakened his heart.
Eddie has been one of my favorite wrestlers since I started watching wrestling in 1998, and I'm really sad that he died. Rest in peace, Eddie.
