Ten Bell Salute 2007

As some of you already know I had started a blog last year titled "The Ten Bell Salute". It was to pay tribute to the industry's deaths during 2007. Also because there was so much of a debate about how many wrestlers died violently or from drug use, I wanted to see just how many died from such causes and how many died naturally. Anyway I had soon became bored with it and there didn't seem to be alot of interest. Now I have started this blog to cover everything about wrestling and wanted to include my Ten Bell Salute idea in with this blog. My first Ten Bell Salute entry is paying tribute to the fallen wreslers of 2007.
