    As someone who pursued a sports career that failed, as someone who worked a lot more "blue collar" jobs than I care to admit, for a lot longer than I'd like to discuss, I can relate to the immune system shutting down, and then being blamed by the coach for it.

    People need to really show respect to wrestlers. I hate it when people make out everything is fake. Yes there's storytelling but real life injuries occur from the low and high risk moves they perform just to entertain people. At least Crockett did something back then, although not great better then what WWE did for their talent that got injured.
