Stigma #1: Pro Wrestling Death

pro_wrestling_1

22 year old Matt Lowry was rushed to the hospital after training at the famed ECW Arena in Pittsburgh. Lowry suddenly passed away as a result of a brain aneurysm. This mysterious death has raised alot of questions. Little is known about exactly what happened minutes before Lowry was rushed to the hospital. Lowry allegedly stopped by the building to work out with some local wrestlers. Combat Zone Wrestling runs a school there and it is normal for local wrestlers to stop by and get some ring time in. The CZW crew and some local guys were there, and according to all reports Lowry didn’t even bump in the ring. Lowry mysteriously died hours later of a brain aneurysm. Police are currently investigating.

While the incident is a wake up call to the Pro Wrestling Community, it is a yet another road block for the amateur wrestling community. Why? How does Pro Wrestling relate to our community? Simply put, every time a new child comes out for the wrestling team, what do you think is the first thing that comes out of my mouth? “So, you want to be a wrestler, huh? Well, just so you know, this has nothing to do with what you see on TV. There’s no stunts, no pile drivers, and no ropes.”

How can we do to stop the stigma? Camelclutchblog believes tougher regulations should be enforced on the Pro Wrestling community. What do you think?
