maybe it's Kevin Sullivan coming back for revenge.

Gambling debts maybe? He called last night and told WWE he had to take care of personal matters, maybe knowing something was coming.

Usually in these scenarios the kid has no say in the "suicide" aspect of it. At best, he hasn't reached the age of majority and judgment to be fit to make that decision. So if that's what it is, the kid changes it from suicide to murder.

Usually when a family dies like this with the child it's almost always murder suicide. I guess we were all hoping this wasn't the case. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I have a feeling he may have been dead for a day or two.....He no showed a show a couple of days ago aside from missing the PPV last night.

OMFG I just got home and saw this. I am in total shock. I can't believe this.

He supposedly called WWE late yesterday to cancel his PPV appearance.

I don't get how people are so affected by a celebrity's death. It's completely baffling to me.

While I mostly agree with this sentiment, there's something about wrestling that makes it different. The performers bond with the audience to a degree that is beyond any other form of entertainment. While they're playing characters, you really get to know that person to a degree every week. And this guy in particular was one of the hardest working, most technically proficient performers that I've seen. It's pretty tragic. In a way I don't really even want to know what happened.

QFT.

Celeb deaths that made me really sad.

Phil Hartman.

This.

That's about it. I'm usually as callous as anybody, but this one hurts.
