TMZ notes that he had issues with heroin use. In 2009, Reid was arrested for heroin possession after he crashed his vehicle in North Carolina. This was just one year after he made his pro-wrestling debut on Dec. 6, 2008, according to Bleacher Report.

A wrestler dies young. Call me shocked.

There are some other names I could call your insensitive sarcastic ass, besides shocked...

 

For what it's worth, his dad is a 25 year veteran of the wrestling circuit and in his day Rick Flair made me wet my pants watching him wrestle.

+1....

I agree and shouldn't "diss" my fellow "daddies" friends but to make such a sarcastic statement I don't understand.

Because it's true. Wrestlers, disproportionately, die young because of drugs and steroids. But, perhaps, you'd rather have your head in the sand ... or up your ass?

Yeah, that's a great justification for your insensitive comment. (Sarcasm) You're a JERK. (Not sarcasm)

Blah, blah.

Sad to say, he looks pretty worn for 25. A shame that he died so young, but that even at 25 he seems to have aged too fast.

Even when you may have a valid point, name-calling doesn't advance your view at all. It just adds a kindergarten-like aspect to the dialog.

Really- I didn't think so. Although I did think there was a lot of difference between the top and bottom pictures. I'm not sure after he bulked up whether I would have recognized him as the same person. But I didn't really think he looked old in either case. While I doubt his family looks at this Forum, my condolences on the passing of one so young.

Also pretty flabby around the middle, no abs, not much definition. Not much of a specimen.

I understand what you are saying, but for me, what is so sad is the death of any human being. It appears that perhaps he lost his way in this world, and that alone makes his death tragic. I care little about what he looked like or how he aged. Peace to his family, and to those that cared about him so deeply.

Well said!

Thank you very much for weighing in, but soapoperalover can take care of himself. And he's still insensitive to the death of a human being, and I sure would like to know what sorta specimen the self-appointed judge himself appears to be. He's just a JERK.

 

He posts on the thread for the specific purpose of taking a dump on a person because of his profession. Then he excuses his inappropriate remark:

Because it's true. Wrestlers' date=' disproportionately, die young because of drugs and steroids. But, perhaps, you'd rather have your head in the sand ... or up your ass?[/quote']A quick reading of my link: http://prowrestling.about.com/od/wha...lersdeaths.htm will tell you that while drugs are a problem, travel, injuries in the ring and large developed bodies also contribute to early (before 65) deaths. But let's not call soapoperalover guilty of insensitivity, let's just call him guilty of overlooking several other reasons for early deaths of pro wrestlers.

 

Oh, excuse me, I'm name calling, again. His posts on this thread demonstrate he is not a nice person - judging a dead person's body as 'not much of a specimen' and automatically pronouncing the cause of death as 'drugs and steriods' when the body's not even cold. INSENSITIVE!

lol...I'm still trying to figure out how you managed to spin this so that ISC is somehow the 'bad guy' here.

[Kippy]

This guy is one hot fucker-- sorry to hear of his early demise--on an escort scale almost a perfect 10. As usual, he coulda' kicked my ass any day!

 

Peace,

It's better (and probably more effective) to say "That was a rude and insensitive thing to say" rather than "You're a jerk."

[instudiocity]

I'll stick with JERK!
