Eddie Guerrero, heart attack at 38,
Rick Rude, heart attack at 40,
Big Boss Man, 41
Yeah, you get some guys like Hogan and the Undertake who seem like they're borderline immortal, but ultimately all it takes is a little too much steroid use, or a little too much bruising/swelling somewhere and they're gone.
Eddie was fucked on drugs for years and destroyed his body because of it. He was clean at the end but the damage was done.
Fans fucking loved him though to the point his face-heel turn near the end was rejected and he became a "lovable rogue" with his 'lie, cheat, steal' motto/gimmick.
While unfortunate dying so young it was still a better ending than that of his former WCW teammate Benoit.
I've always wondered if Eddie's death contributed to Benoit's madness, as they pretty much happened one after another, or if it was purely the brain damage from the drugs and concussions.
