Sorry but that doesn't sound like a spur of the moment thing to me. And now you're mentioning domestic violence which I didn't even know about.


Everyone remembers what they want about people. In my view "because everyone else does it" is one of the poorest excuses ever. I'm sure that you and I both will remember him in our own way and the entire thing is extremely tragic. I think if he had avoided the steroids alot of his problems would not have occurred. Therefore....in my view.....he chose his own path and hurt many innocent people along the way. His family aside.....how many honest wrestlers did he fight and win against while on steroids? Why should they lose to someone who cheats?

I'm sorry....but I just don't see it the same way as you.

1. You do realize Pro-Wrestling is Sports Entertainment. There is no real matches in Pro Wrestling. All the outcomes are pre-determine there is no real competition there. The storyline writers write out how conflicts go and how matches and special happenings occur. The wrestlers then put on a a very athletic performance in the ring, depending on the wrestlers it's either done spontaneously to match crowd response (best way) or as many newer guys like its coreographed and practiced beforehand. It's like watching any other fictional TV show except the cast is also highly trained, highly athletic stunt men.

2. Small therapeutic amounts of steroids have always been allowed. Vince McMahon has a thing for big wrestlers and many wrestlers didn't reach main event status untill they got highly built. WWE doesn't support the use of other drugs have fired and suspended many people for it (RVD and Sabu got caught by the police with marijuana right when RVD won the WWE title. As punishment Vince stripped him of the title and suspended him. and they are forced to have policy against steroids, even though you can look at Vince McMahon himself and see that even Vince juices...


1&2 Combined: There was no cheating or lying at work with Benoit. He did just as many many wrestlers have done before. And again all they found in his system was extra testosterone which is technically grouped together with steroids but is not really a steroid and there was only small amounts of in his system. The media likes to twist things around and they love to sensationalize things.
Melkane Reviewed by Melkane on . THQ ordered to remove Chris Benoit from Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 -- The latest WWE video game was almost complete when it was ordered to extract Chris Benoit from it. There were a lot of problems in this because they can't just so easily delete him from the game, especially considering that game so far in the process. Nonetheless, the feeling was that it would be a p.r. disaster if they released the game with Benoit as one of the star characters. The video game's team pretty much had no choice but to remove Benoit from the game. Source: -- Rajah.com -- Rating: 5
