I actually did start reading this in bed. Nothing too bad, until I got to the part about the text messages.
:picard:

You just know at that point Chris Benoit the person had already died, and it was just a body running off of whatever instincts/impulses that damaged brain could muster. Legitimately had to make sure the covers were over my feet because fukk that.
Nah he wasn't dead yet, he hadn't worked himself up to take the coward way out yet.

Dude should of went to the hospital or called one of his friends to pick him up. shyt, he should of called the cops that he has intentions of doing this and that . benoit was my favourite wrestler because the dude was mad quiet but he was a beast in the ring. probably top 5 technical wrestlers of all time. it is a damn shame he had to kill his family even though it seems really shady.

Nah, I think it was the brain trauma, dude had the brain of an 80+ year old Alzheimer's patient. Also the deaths of close friends made him further deteriorate, particularly Eddie Guerrero, and The Big Bossman. If it was roid rage he would've carried these out quicker than he did, If I remember correctly he killed himself days later.

Also, as far as the diving headbutt goes because it's a legit dangerous move that every fan knows the risk of instead of banning it should be the diving equivalent of a piledriver a move no one should kick out of period. Perhaps even becoming a nuclear finisher performed rarely by the best wrestlers in the business.

If Benoit was at THAT point with his brain, he would have had trouble finding the arena going on the road. Unlike elderly or otherwise disabled celebs that make appearances, Benoit didn't have an handler taking care of that stuff. He clearly wouldn't be able to remember the move sequences and spots neither. In the match he had in ECW that week, he was regular ol Benoit. Now beef wellington died that week, who Chris came in the business with along with the deaths of Eddie & Johnny Grunge im sure played some part though

Chris Benoit had CTE. A lot of pro athletes who have been diagnosed with that had long successful careers but screwed up off the field. Despite how messed up their brains got they could still succeed as athletes because their sport was drilled in their heads because they probably started as children. It's second nature to them.

That is a boxer knocked clean out throwing jabs because the process was drilled into his head.

You're right about this...
The first match bryan was back he was head butting like crazy. TSC was calling him out for it and we all were "wtf" at him doing that so much after his concussion. And BOOM. It was all over shortly after that.
...but damn, why shytpost at the end?
The chinese wrestlers prolly miss communicated harleys wishes into more headbutts. Those guys wrestle like idiots anyway.
I'm not angry, just disappointed :heh:

No doubt. I once told a friend that if a non-fan were to think up a "tough, badass wrestler," they'd probably imagine someone who looks, sounds, and acts like Benoit. He's that synonymous with a certain type of professional wrestling to me.

The whole situation is just freaky stuff, no matter what one thinks happened that weekend.

Benoit never really connected with that headbutt.

He always made sure to fall short of his opponents head or to the side.

People are a trip....Benoit and Bryan knew what they were doing the whole time. They were MASTERS in the ring.
