  • Mike Bell from the movie"Bigger, Stronger, Faster," dies at 37.

    Former pro wrestler Mike Bell, an Arlington High School graduate and Poughkeepsie native, died Sunday afternoon at age 37, the wrestling website Figure Four Online reported late Sunday night.

    Bell wrestled for World Wrestling Entertainment in the late 1990s and after that, Extreme Championship Wrestling. He performed at Mid-Hudson Civic Center for both promotions.

    He was heavily featured in "Bigger, Stronger, Faster," a critically acclaimed documentary directed and starring his younger brother Chris, which explored steroid use in sports. The movie had candid interviews with both Bell brothers, as well as their parents, Rosemary and Sheldon and brother Mark.

    Mike Bell was a football captain at Arlington and later played on scholarship at the University of Cincinnati.

                that was quick before the autopsy
                heres the disclaimer
                "Once the film went public, the media went crazy claiming that Bell had attempted suicide in the past."

                      i knew mike very well we went to school together aswell as his brother chris -

                      mike was a big lovable guy but he had his demons -- rec drugs took control of his life for a long time -- he just got himself cleaned up

                      still cant believe he is dead !! only 37 with a family that will grow up without dad now !

                      waiting for info on his wake - hope its at home which is 2 minutes from my house so i can pay my respects to a great guy -

                      mike would give his last dollar to you but you wont see that printed in the fucking papers -

                      with his demons behind him may he now rest in peace
