Wrestlers grapple with problems in, out of the ring


The death of WWE superstar Edward Fatu, who wrestled under the name "Umaga," has sparked discussion in wrestling circles over the rigors of the sport.

Fatu, 36, died Friday of a heart attack in a hospital in Houston, Texas, a family friend confirmed.

Also known as "The Samoan Bulldozer," the 6'4, 350-lb. wrestler earned a reputation for executing moves with more ease than one might expect from someone his size, facing off in high-profile bouts with WWE celebrities such as Triple H and Ric Flair.
