Were Steroids the cause of Eddie's death?

[Guest tony manero]

At the press conference, Chavo talked about how just the day before in the airplane, he and Eddie shared a hug over Eddie's ability to stay clean for the last 4 years. So, I sincerely doubt that Eddie had a relapse in the 30 minutes between his breakfast with Chavo and the time he was found dead in the bathroom. And, there's no reason to believe that Eddie was having anxiety attacks over winning the World Title again, because according to Meltzer, he wasn't scheduled to win it, Orton was.

 

Now, given Eddie's relatively diminutive stature at 5' 6 1/2", and his rather inflated muscular physique over the past 5-6 years, one has to wonder if like many of the other wrestlers, Eddie considered steroid use to be a "natural" prerequisite of the business. There's no question he was on them, but my contention is that given his obsessive, addictive personality, he wasn't cycling steroids/HGH or taking small amounts of them at certain intervals. My contention is that he would take massive amounts of steroids to maintain the larger than life physique that he's had since joining WWE.

 

Excessive steroid use, coupled with his relatively natural small figure -- and therefore, the inability of his body to sustain the pressure needed to stay at the level it was at -- I believe, led to his heart failure. His heart couldn't handle compensating for his unnatural weight, and muscle mass any longer.

 

Anyway, that's my opinion.

How's about people wait till the coroner's report before tossing out theories?

 

EDIT: Also, fuck you.

This sounds like what happened. I don't think it was recreational drugs, either. His body just couldn't take the various stresses of the business, including steroids.
