Bret's the best because along with all the great shyt he did for the viewers in terms of storytelling and making his work look believable, he also did the most important thing better than pretty much anyone. Don't hurt yourself and don't hurt anyone else.

What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
Even if Benoit hadn't killed his wife and son, he still had a lot of unresolved mental issues. Eddie's death was something he never recovered from. He said Eddie was the person who could always talk him out of something. Maybe he could have talked Benoit out of kicking someone out of the locker room for eating chicken near his bag. 
There's a good chance he would have killed himself at some point. Hell, he was probably going to do it that weekend regardless. WWE wouldn't promote him like that, but he would still get in the HOF and his personal life wouldn't have been looked into so much. But the double murder basically gave people an invitation to see that he was one of the GOAT wrestlers, but a horrible person.

He died at the peak of my wrestling craze and I was only 7.
Cause of the Vince death storyline I thought it was part of the show. I even tried to buy his action figure after it happened (already had one of him but this one came w/ a ladder) since they still had it at Target on that Wednesday. My dad wouldn't let me and had a long conversation with me about what he did and it finally sunk in.
I think the story that best describes how this impacted the industry is Undertaker letting Miz back in the locker room after realizing who kicked him out couldn't let him back in anymore. It feels very symbolic of a lot of the change that occurred in the product since I would watch on a regular basis as a kid.
damn how did your dad break this down to you at 7?

What is the IWC’s obsession to keep talking about that lunatic?

What happened there?
Just some demonic trolling during the time, like some dude put his name as "Macho Man's Airbag" or some stupid shyt like that.

I think Edge and Christian trying to warn us when they were playing Benoit's theme on their kazoos back in the day.

nikkaz who never wrote reviews.
Still not addressing this really whole heartedly.
Then not taking the time to process.
I wrote hordes of actual benoit match reviews.
To literally put a wrasslin match in print. it takes four to six hours a match. If it is a real five star main event quality match on a card.
Sohh those reviews and all that time. Coupled with taking a break from wrasslin. As wrasslin was at a creative stand still. Where no one was going to be given. argumentive sway to surpass benoit sans a tragedy. Yet that tragedy did occur. Sohh in five years away from no wtasslin. Cold turkey after benoit. I only watched. when history had a chance to be changed.
when roh on directv debuted. Where I was able to pick up on what I liked. Plus enjoy the benefit of the little engine that could promotion. That was dope enough to now have a TV show in a mcmahon monopoly. That formerly housed benoit.
Sohh that alternative and time away. Gave me a chance to just enjoy quality wrasslin. Without any issues from benoit.
Plus I got a great blessing of before wwe raided roh. To see and get acclimated to the type of wrasslin in tv. I enjoyed and know to be high quality. That given the circumstances. Could still create a draw.
if made in that level of quality.
Sohh ..I think people should take a break. Then dedicate themselves to being a smart. To explain and offer a gateway.
to other possible hopeful fans in the future. Sohh they can enjoy. the beauty of the works of this industry. Despite the dark gloom of the personalities.
in the relevent history of this industry.
