Tyson Tomko may only be known to the most hardcore WWE fans, but he was a staple on TNA wrestling and was once slated to be a big deal within the organization. After his character fell flat in TNA, Tomko signed a contract with WWE. However, he never made any appearances on WWE’s shows. He returned to TNA, but fans noticed he was different. The difference was that Tomko was addicted to opiates, and his addiction was so bad, he robbed a pharmacy and was arrested while shooting up drugs in the bathroom of a Chili’s restaurant. Tomko went into rehab and has been cleaning up his life. However, at this point in his life, it is unlikely that he will be able to return to his wrestling career.

Davey Boy Smith, known by his ring name of British Bulldog, was a tough contender in the WWE ring. Unfortunately, many wrestlers who want to gain the upper hand in the industry turn to steroids, and Smith was no exception. Smith had feuds in and out of the ring, but his biggest problem was the use of drugs and steroids. He was even sent to rehab by the WWE for his abuse of these things. In 2002, at the age of 39, Smith had a heart attack that claimed his life. It was found that the use of steroids, painkillers, and the serious injuries he had incurred over the years were factors in his death.
