But because he was always 'stoic' they chalked it up the intersection of that stoicism and the Loss of Eddie; rather than a case of "the quiet kid told me not to come to school tomorrow" -- as an outside observer especially with the power of hind sight it's easy to see something was happening... but for the guys who knew him 5-10-15 years how many of them even if they weren't too busy with their own domestic issues and grief would do the math and even entertain the idea that their friend was capable of that

Other plane rides from hell have happened long before the most famous one. And they have happened since. Wrestling used to be the Wild West and depending on the territory or town they were in, the wrestlers could get away with almost anything. They were walking gods in certain areas. The only real reason that it doesn’t happen as much today is because the current generation learned (mostly) not live the party wild lives of the past and also anything they do is being broadcasted on social media.

Then create tie and get the cable to stay in the right position around his thick neck with the cloth. Then pulling the chuck which would've taken some effort. He decided to do all that instead of something easier like pills, crashing a car or jumping off a roof?

[@xmassan20906]

@@TuriyanGold That makes sense if he was able to get enough slack and get his head in a loop pulled through the looped end. Even if the improvised loop was in the right spot, he would've had to choke himself for several minutes, without fighting back. No idea if it was going to kill him or leave him severely injured. He could've stood up and not gone through with it. Some accounts describe him as being, "slumped" so his full weight wasn't suspended. Faster, less drawn out ways to go.

Or because he 'came to' after a bout of early onset dementia he suffered from putting his all into his art, and then recognised what he had done in a moment of clarity? I have my opinion and that's why I can still respect Benoits talent and commitment. It's not evil to remember Benoit in the ring as if it's also condoning murdering your own family.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, that being said, Simon, i don't think we should continue to punish Benoit. No doubt his actions where heinous and very tragic, but i don't think the wrestler we knew, did that. He suffered severely from CTE and the depression of his lifelong friend dying. This doesn't excuse ANYTHING, but should definitely be considered a reason. I'm quite sure, the days he was still alive after the incident was his own torture. U don't go from being a good dude to just waking up and deciding to off your family. Men suffer from mental health issues as well, but in this country no one cares. Especially if u have a strong persona.

[@IHeartVideoGames08]

It hit me hard when Simon said no matter your sexuality you belong in the wrestling fandom. Depending on what age you are, I don't know if you can truly appreciate what it means to hear that. Im 31 and when I was growing up it was normal to see gay as "other." Even today there are evil people trying to bring back the other vision of homosexuality. But I know they will fail. Yet, when I was a kid, kids all around me would make jokes about being gay all the time. It was normal. It was not seen as offensive or bad. Especially in wrestling. I remember the jokes they make with Goldust about him being gay and a predator. I remember Rico being a flamboyant joke at the gays expense and he spun off from Billy and Chuck, who themselves were a gay joke. IM not going to say nobody cared, but it sure as hell felt that way. When I watch wrestling and engage in videos such as this I dont think about myself as a gay man. I think about just how things are in the wrestling sense. When I tell you that I never thought I see a day where people would openly shit on homosexual angels of the past and shame them trying to do a lesbain angle with Lana and LIv MOrgan? Hell, if you told me that a gay man, would stand in the middle of the ring, tell a woman who was hitting on him he was gay and the crowd would proudly chant HES GAY HES GAY HES GAY! I would not of believed you for a second. And like. It sounds stupid most likely but. I apprecite Simon. I so do. I always will. Long may his life be happy.
