General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

unfortunately tends to need something horrible to happen for people to see the real damage this stuff had been putting on athletes

 

[Rosie]

I only heard it afterwards because I was too young.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

But in a, kind of sad, twist, if his incident didn't happen, then arguably there wouldn't have been as much of a push to fix it in some sports and especially wrestling.

it’s sad how that is sometimes. NASCAR is as safe as it is now because of Earnhardt and like 4 other stock car deaths in the same time frame happening. 3 before Dale, then one Arca one later the same year sparked so much change to safety

 

[Chris]

What's really sad is how Chavo was involved with both deaths too

 

[Lethal]

Shame they kept a show going when someone died and never learned their lesson though ay

 

[CakeWalker]

three people died in that scenario

 

[Chris]

He found Eddie, he was the one trying to reach Benoit and was one of the few in contact before it happened

 

[CakeWalker]

Benoit, Eddie and Kerwin White

 

[Rosie]

So I guess I don't have the difficulty some fans have in trying to separate the man who did the murders, the performer, and the potential of the man doing it not "really" being Benoit. Just because I was a fan after him. But it doesn't mean I don't feel uncomfortable looking at it ever.

 

[Chris]

I didn't play SVR 07 for awhile after Benoit's death bc i was in a storyline with him

 

[Rosie]

And by not "really" being Benoit, I mean the fact that Benoit was just not himself anymore. Sick, massive head trauma, mental health, and more.

its not something you can really do

 

[Chris]

But other than that, it's never really been hard for me to watch old stuff. I was a fan as a kid as well

Oh yeah... Where Undertaker mentions Benoit's family dying... and Benoit going missing... FUCK the coincidence

Raw used to be aired 24 hours later back then. So when I tuned in for tribute show, it was a best of. I went online and the truth was out
