Mushnik makes his most personal attack on WWE.

[Tired]

Phil Mushnik of the New York Post has recently been very vocal in his criticisms of Linda McMahon and the WWE.

Mushnik is very much opposed to Linda McMahon's campaign to run for political office. The main basis of his argument is the content of WWE programming during Linda's last 10 years as the company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Mushnik has run several articles slamming the product, and personally attacking Linda's husband and WWE owner Vincent McMahon. Up until now, his comments were strictly his own interpretations of content.

This is the first time the Mushnik made any reference to anything that happens off-screen in the wrestling industry. He claims that the lifestyle that WWE contracted stars engage in is grately shortening their lives, and he blames the lifestyle on the deaths of 28 specific stars.

Each of the names below has appeared on at least one episode of WWE Raw as an active wrestler, but died before reaching 45. Mushnick made no reference to how any of these stars had died. However, he did imply very heavily that the physical toll taken by their bodies and abusing recreational, perscription and illegal drugs were connected in all cases.

Bam Bam Bigelow

Big Boss Man
Brian Pillman
