not to change the subject, but 48hrs on CBS is re-airing the porco murder case which happend 3miles from my house. good watch. the kid almost got away with hacking his dad to death with an axe
One other thing we should be able to agree on too is that there is a MAJOR problem in the WWE. The lists of dead people under the age of 50, 40 & more shockingly 30, show something is going on. Their drug testing must be transparent at best ... just look at these guys. Whether or not Benoit was "On them" doesn't matter. He had them and i'm sure he was probably using them too. Steroids and wrestling have always been closely linked for years. I think it is getting much worse in the last 10 though.
I think it is out of control and something needs to be done about it, and the leader who supervises it all (McMahon).
I loved wrestling since i was a kid. Growing up Bob Backlund was the champion for years and years. Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, Chief Jay Stronbow, George "The Animal" Steele, Junkyard Dogs, and on and on and on.
As a kid i believed it was real and i loved going to all the live events. My father brought me 3 hours north when i was about 12 to see Andre the Giant wrestle Killer Khan. It was EPIC!!!
Andre and Khan were 2 feet from me in the crowd brawling. It was unreal!
I also saw an event where George the Animal Steel came into the crowd and i was right there sitting ringside. I was like 15 and the dude was wagging his green tongue and coming right at me like a psycho bastard. Jimmy, i never RAN so fast in my fucken life. That fucker scared the living shit out of me. I was told he wouldn't touch me and it was all a show but you know what, i had been screaming at that fucker and when he exited the ring, he focused right in on me and i was fucken outta there! lol
Those guys didn't look nothing like todays wrestlers. Most were not chiseled and very few look like Benoit. I guess my point is that the problem to me is obvious these days just by looking at these guys. I stopped watching about 10 years ago. It became way too much of a "Show" for my liking. Back in the day it was all about the ring. Now, half of the shows are done outside of it.
great points brother-the only reason i am watching tonight is to hear vince and they have not mentioned his name-I HOPE THE MIXED MARTIAL ARTS PUTS THEM OUT OF BUSINESS AND I USE TO LOVE WRESTLING EVEN THOUGH WE ALL KNEW THE OUTCOMES WERE PREDETERMINED !! ps-this is a betting forum-you can wager on UFC fights-WoooooooOOOOOOOOOOO !!
I can't believe the WWE gave a tribute to this duchebag. They made money off of it.
Details came out late. The WWE had all the highlight tapes and interviews done already. When they went on the air at 7 pn central time, the police had not released the info. Also the WWE had locked the doors and cancelled the show. the stadium was empty and the only showed highlights of his carrer. They made no money off of it. McMahon is a piece of shit, but I can see that he did anything wrong last night
I'm done giving this guy or the WWE the benefit of the doubt. Have you seen the list of dead people under the age of 40? It's staggering AND a PROBLEM that nobody does anything about but turn their head.
It is an extremly fucked up business. These guys are treated like circus animals. With the exeption of maby 4-5 big name stars these guys get paid shit money for what the put their bodies thru
