Three years ago today...

I remember everyone in the wrestling world talking about how Hennig had cleaned up his act and had been off drugs for years. Then this happened (from pwinsider.com).

"2003 - Former AWA World Champion Curt Hennig, known as 'Mr. Perfect' in his WWF days, was found dead in a Florida hotel room. Hennig was in Florida for a show, and when he did not arrive at the building, Dave 'Cuban Assassin' Sierra went to his hotel room. When Hennig did not answer the door, Sierra had a maid open up the room, and Hennig was found lying on the bed. The Tampa Medical Examiner's office announced the official cause of death was 'acute cocaine intoxication'. Hennig was 44 years old."

Sometimes it just flat out sucks to be a wrestling fan.
