The OC Register covered the death of Mike Bell and featured quotes from his brother Chris Bell, who made the documentary Bigger, Stronger, Faster. "You can't really blame wrestling, but it's kind of the lifestyle," Chris Bell said. "You have a couple of painkillers to get to the next match, have a couple drinks night to night and it gets out of hand."

Bell also stated that the cause of his brother's death was still unknown but it could be attributed to the "rough life" Mike Bell lived. "He was always wrestling, he was a personal trainer, he was always pushing his body to the max." To read the full story, visit OCRegister.com.

Powell's POV: It's worth noting that WWE issued a statement offering their condolences and were quick to point out that Mike Bell was never a contracted performer in their company.
