Chris Benoit and his family found dead.

Here's a nice link to a run down of news items on the Benoit thing today:

http://wrestling.insidepulse.com/articles/68527/2007/06/29/friday-evening-benoit-update.html

A couple of things from that link surprise me:

-They're going to try and run tests on Benoit's brain to see if he had any head damage from concussions that could have lead him to be depressed/snap.

-Benoit's ex-wife came out and said Benoit was a very loving person.

-The only one that has talked negative about Benoit has been Bruce Hart but Bret Hart (Bruce's brother) is basically calling his own brother a liar.

At West Virginia University no less. I promise I did not write to them.
 
Chris Jericho was just on the aforementioned Greta Van Sustern's show...

unlike the previous hour's train wreck on Hannity and Combs featuring Bill DeMott and Debra (McMichael, Williams) Marshall, Jericho did an excellent job. anyone who saw DeMott and Debra as indicative of those involved in the wrestling business could not have been left with a good impression.

Jericho answered the interviewer's questions articulately, and emphasized that in the 15 years he knew Chris Benoit he was a kind, gentle, loving man, whose love for his wife and children was evident daily.

he called Benoit the standard that all the other wrestlers are measured against for in ring ability, called him his closest friend in the business, and his inspiration.

and he stated that while he is not forgetting that Nancy and Daniel were victims of a horrendous crime or excusing Chris for what he did, knowing him as Jericho did makes it even harder to even attempt to understand how he was capable of it.

Jericho did not deny that steroids could have played a part in this, BUT that he feels that Chris Benoit was obviously suffering from some severe mental issues at the time of the slayings as well, and that we may never know the circumstances behind this tragedy.

Damn sounds like a good interview. I'll have to see if YouTube has it up.

Yeah I saw the DeMott/Debra thing, that was a train wreck all right.

I also still want to know why the WWE or someone who got those text messages from Benoit didnt call the police IMMEDIATELY. That baffles me. As I said before I know for a fact if one of my friends or employees sends me those messages it wouldve taken me about 3 seconds before I dialed 911.

He was sending them at 4am in the morinng!!!!!!! The people were probably asleep. They probably didn't read them till the AM which is when they contacted the necessary people!!

Thats a problem in this country these days. You just can't be crazy anymore! There must be more. Some people are just crazy and you can't stop crazy.

No amount of drug testing, no amount of rules or laws, some people are just crazy and nothing will stop it!!!!!!!

crazy has been erased from the dictionary

I SUGGEST THAT EVERYONE READ THIS ARTICLE:

http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/columns/56470

It's extremely well written and researched and basically goes through the whole week of Benoit stuff as well as whether the WWE should be blamed for this.

The author goes through the deaths of every wrestler in the past 20 years who have died before the age of 65 and the causes and whether the WWE/steriod witch hunt is justified. Believe me it will shock you with the results and basically shows that the media doesn't know jack about this subject.

So please read. You won't regret it.

Thats a pretty good possibility. Dont know why I didnt think of that. I dont doubt whoever that ex wrestler he sent them to was up doing a bunch of coke though. Who knows. Didnt he send the text messages early in the AM on Sunday though.

No not yet. I'll look more tomorrow, it should be up by then.

Dude since your up if I read correctly and Jericho was on the Greta Van Sustran show its on replay right now on Fox News. A different lady is filling in for Greta(fortunately, Greta is tough to look at and this lady is kinda hot thats filling in for her). It started at 1am and Jericho hasnt been on yet, so if it is this show he will be on shortly.
 
Yea, finkle man its coming on right after the commercial break. Im gonna watch it myself.
