"Ring of Hell" author Matthew Randazzo wrote a piece for UGO.com on "How to Reform Wrestling." He runs through a long list of the problems and then offers solutions. "So, how do you stop all the deaths in pro wrestling?" Randazzo writes. "The solution is deceptively simple: bring WWE's 19th century working conditions up to the modern standard set by all of the professional sports leagues.

"Since Vince McMahon is a billionaire and the WWE is wildly profitable, these life-saving reforms can be accomplished with a negligible impact on the WWE bottom line or McMahon's ability to purchase competitors, politicians, or black market Soviet nuclear submarines."

Powell's POV: This is a lengthy article (3,000 words), and Randazzo runs through the industry's problems while telling some less than flattering stories along the way. One of his ideas is for each of the three WWE brands to take off three months per year. I don't see that happening, but I believe wrestlers should have mandatory time off each year.
