Steroids, obviously.

It would seem likely but it could be because of some other drug or something he was born with and never became aware of.

im guessing steroids, this reminds me of when the Texas Tornado (Kerry Von Erich) died almost the same way. Of course its also how they found Daryl Kile and his death wasn't substance related.

Holy Crap, Mr. Perfect was one of the greatest heels of his time, I loved his cocky attitude, and the spitting the gum out and swatting it away thing he did before each mach. although when he went to WCW he was always getting punked by Goldberg. will miss him.

I have my doubts about that as Mr. Perfect was not one of those big muscle bound guys that you see in wrestling nowadays. The guy's build was all wrong for a steroid user, not to be insulting to him but he practically looks flabby next to a lot of other wrestlers. I could be wrong though.

Anyways, I'll miss the guy, he was one of the best pure wrestlers I've ever seen.

As I recall he was one of those Atlas types like Mr. Prowse. (Charles Atlas for the rest of you, advocated a full Isometric system (resisting your muscles against their counterparts, gets decent results for conditioning, however it lacks any areobic components, and without an areobic component can result in cardiac breakdown.

Another well loved wrestler dies, it's a shame how so many athletes in that game drop like flies.

I think in honour of Mr. Perfect we should all go outside, chew a piece of gum, spit it out, and then slap it away with our hands in honour.

Thats similar to what I've been doing for rugby preseason. You work one muscle group, then you work the group that does the opposite motion. Its fucking tough, but you get decent results.

But then again, we have also been combining it with a shitload of running and other fitness drills.

True, Isometrics is great for results, but it needs to be combined with running, jumping, swimming etc so that your body has endurance otherwise the ticker can't hold out against the strain.

Aerius, do you remember Curt in his early days as a wrestler with the AWA? His build was alot smaller...when he joined the WWF he looked to be in decent shape alot more muscular and defined.
