2018's not even over yet. I know that wrestlers have a history of dropping like flies, but 4 of those have died over the past two weeks.

And then there's other alumni such as Matt Cappotelli.

CONSPlRACY

Ric Flair is pretty much a matter of time at this point, and Lawler keeps having heart attacks.

And Vince is sort of starting to move into that territory where you could see him dropping dead at some point in the next few years or so (probably from a aneurysm caused by stuff like another company selling out MSG).

Well, Bruno was 82 and Volkov was 70 so... those aren't *that* surprising.

Otherwise, it's been a rough year for wrestling since Roman Reigns is still the WWE's guy and Brock Lesnar is once again squatting on the flagship championship (giving it "legitimacy" by having an absentee champ). And on SD, Carmella is the Women's champ for whatever reason (although, looking at SD's champ list, the rest actually looks pretty decent. May have to catch an episode one of these days).
