Today I am saddened to hear about the death of Lance McNaught, better known to us as Lance/Garrison Cade. McNaught had a history of drug problems, namely painkillers and sleeping pills, which contributed to his being released from World Wrestling Entertainment. It troubles me to see a young man like McNaught, who was only 29, passing away due to drug issues. It was bad enough seeing this happen to the wrestling stars who came up in the 80's and 90's, but I had hoped that the generation of the 00's would avoid such a fate. Instead, we've lost Umaga and now Lance Cade. It also troubles me that WWE's Wellness Policy seems designed more so to protect WWE's public image by making sure wrestlers aren't dropping dead under their employment, but doesn't seem to go very far into actually addressing the problem itself.
