A Sad Day For The Gulf Coast - Another Day For Wrestling

Eddie was born to wrestle. It has always been a significant part of his life. His "Wild Samoan" heritage pretty much guaranteed him a spot on the WWE roster, but more to the point, he really earned and deserved it through hard work and dedication.

Now WWE has tossed him aside, allegedly for violation of their "wellness" program. I personally don't see a lot of "wellness" associated with WWE level wrestling at all. The brutal travel schedule, the constant pain, and yes, the intense scrutiny over every aspect of a performer's life. That seems like an artificial reward for such high aspirations as to be a "WWE Guy."

Will we now get Eddie back here on the Gulf Coast if he indeed has been "let go" at WWE? It's doubtful because leaving WWE is not leaving wrestling. There's Japan, England, TNA, and a whole indy world out there.

I just hope Eddie solves these problems and continues following the path he wishes to.

I really hate the drug/steroid thing, not just at WWE level but everywhere. We'd all be a lot better off without these extra influences raising their head.

Good luck, Eddie. I'll be rooting for you.
