[@RealGilbertGan]

Nowinski said it himself: "It changes who you are, how you behave, and what you become." I gotta give props to Nowinski to be honest with you because not only he learned about the positivity of concussions into Benoit's brain, it also gave a new meaning to it in which it became a book that Nowinski focused on: Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). After the entire tragedy itself, things have lit up about the awareness of what CTE is, and hits in the head are now addressed.

[@mrFiiSKiiS]

Both Chris Benoit and Aaron Hernandez were found to have extremely severe CTE. Hernandez was reported to have the worst case ever seen in someone his age. Benoit's brain was compared to that of an 80 year old Alzheimer's patient. Its great that we're finally recognizing it, but it feels like we failed guys like Benoit and Hernandez, along with countless others, with poor treatment of brain injuries. What were we even thinking? We know how important the brain is. Why do we so willfully shake off injuries to it?

[@RealGilbertGan]

@@mrFiiSKiiS Yeah, because what Jericho once said in the DSotD documentary, back in those days (The Wrestling Boom through the Ruthless Agression Era), they often take chair shots to the head as a "badge of honour", which may be a factor that caused some undiagnosed concussions leading to CTE. It's unfortunate to say that both Benoit and Hernandez failed to be treated well with the brain injuries and the wrestling promoters turn a blind eye to these athletes who had suffered concussions. We should thank Nowinski for that kind of commitment to helping athletes to understand what CTE is.

[@julianjv7325]

Nowinsky sold his soul to WWE and Vince Mcmahon when he allowed WWE to become a sponsor of his foundation, even Triple H at this time is on his board of directors and deciding what research is done or not on dead wrestlers who present CTE.

[@RealGilbertGan]

@@julianjv7325 but from this POV, Mr. McMadman lies through his breath, and that just prove how much of a mouth-breathing imbecile he is, to ignore the fact that the industry at first is not aware of what effects can both concussions and chronic traumatic encephalopathy do to a human being and just care for their large sizes and physique.

I think that the reason why Jake Roberts is still alive, thankfully, is due to him never taking steroids. He took a load of other stuff but the few times he took steroids and started getting bigger, Vince McMahon told him to stop. As his character was built on being fast and like a snake. His style in the ring wouldn't have been anywhere near as good as he was if he'd been a jacķed up, muscle head. The short clothesline, the knee to the body of his opponent and the quick transition into the DDT.

[@RealGilbertGan]

I think, in my opinion, it also stemmed from the fact that Jake had a childhood trauma when his father, his incestuous, manipulative old man (that's right, Grizzly Smith is a pedophile by all means), ruined his childhood as to why he's often intoxicated and going completely on Planet Neptune during his appearances before getting help from DDP years later. Look at Jake nowadays, he's been sober for over a decade now.

[@mrkipling2201]

​@@RealGilbertGangreat point. Yes, Grizzly Smith was a right horrible piece of work, certainly from what I've seen in different documentaries on Jake. DDP is such a great bloke. Helping Jake and Scott Hall overcome their demons, including their addictions to drugs and alcohol, is one of the best and most heartwarming things I've ever seen.

[@RealGilbertGan]

@@mrkipling2201 Dark Side of the Ring and The Resurrection of Jake the Snake really show the human side of Jake with the latter focusing on his pedophile father from how he manipulated him and his siblings Sam Houston and Rocking Robin, with Robin being a victim of his father's incestuous behaviour. It also led to each of them going through a series of downward spiral and estrangement: Sam going to prison multiple times for several charges of DUIs in the State of Texas and getting a divorced from Baby Doll, Robin retiring from wrestling after WWE's new direction on women's wrestling and was hit hard with alcohol abuse. And Jake, we can see the obvious addictions he had from snorting coke, to having a very shitty match, with the most notable being the Heroes of Wrestling PPV where he even used a snake as a phallic symbol. I really feel bad for them, honestly because they had to deal with a man who's an incestuous child molester, Grizzly Smith.

Did this over a three day period. Slept in the home with the bodies of his wife and child. There’s no one responsible for this other than him.

It also reminded him to text and let his buddies know where the dogs would be. No doubt he had cte, but I think that one is chalked more up to a mix of alcohol, Xanax, and his body has over 10x the normal amount of testosterone due to taking such large amounts of steroids. Xanax and Alcohol both terrible for inducing anger, blackouts, add crazy high levels of testosterone and also opioids as well.

HBK and X-Pac get most of the credit for ushering in the smaller more entertaining wrestlers, but Dynamite Kid was the guy who started that revolution. HBK and X-Pac may have never got a chance at WWF if Dynamite didn't prove smaller guys can draw money

[@d___c____5604]

"he added 50lbs of chemically induced muscle" yeah because it's that easy, just inject steroids, it doesn't require hours and hours of weight lifting and being in the gym hours after everyone else has gone home. Nope, just steroids. ALSO, Andre the giant passed due to acromegaly! It had nothing to do with pro wrestling, or steroids, or drugs of any kind. So he (like many other wrestlers) don't belong in a list trying to blame deaths on steroids.

[@daveh1065]

He had a valid point though..how was Chris able to remember spots in matches, travel alone, be coherent & have lengthy conversations on interviews, drive , heck function even? If he had the equivalent of an 80 yr old w dementia? ..my dad had dementia & had to be supervised around the clock, & Chris was nowhere close to that..not defending Chris, just saying it's blown outta proportion.

Benoit* And they didn't mention him because this show specifically had an agenda and didn't want to establish anything other than the idea that "steroids are the reason he did what he did" it's called a media bias.

It might be scripted but that doesn't change the fact that those wrestlers put their bodies on the line and indore imaginable pain every time they step foot in the ring. I mean, look at Chris Benoit. He had a lot of concussions, and he had neck surgery

[@grandmastermario3695]

It's no exscuse honestly but first of all you guys are seeming to try to say it's just the steroids ah no part of it is probably the steroids and probably partly whatever else he may have taken big part of it was brain damage and CTE alot of it was probably stress brought on by keeping up with being a top wrestling and a husband and a father part of it was Greif and depression part of it may have had something to do with what he read in the Bible and his own beliefs and part of it was it just getting worse over time and part of it was the fact that he felt like there was no one to turn to all those could of been a possibility of what drove him to do those types of things but yes it's true there is no exscuse as to what he did

[@macattack14778]

[@aaroncaulfield6667]

He hired someone to kill Nancy and unfortunately Daniel was killed as well .. so Chris Benoit killed himself

[@malekkd]

@Jonathan Esser lol. I like how you can't prove that he did it and even when evidence is out that he didn't do it, you just say "oh, those guys are lying" A guy killing his wife and kid and then himself has happened before. A guy who wasn't even in the same state as three other people doing it hasn't lol

[@intensity.density2208]

If Chris was paranoid about someone following him and his family, moves to a home away from everyone, moved his son into a secured school, and they all wind up dead? It makes me wonder. The more I see in this, the more I believe that Chris was murdered along with his family.

Take care of your brain...great post

[@diongibbsbpwp160]

His actions were inexcusable. However, Post Concussion Syndrome or Persistant Post Concussion Syndrome as I have depends on the area of the brain damaged. I have no paranoia but an explosive anger at times and worse thing is the 15 months of a Persistant migraine were only another issue with my left eye and blood meaning I needed, eye drops with Cocaine and it was with Cannabis the only thing yo help. Yet it is no solution especially, Coke.

[@SVRSugar]

I have PCS , due to multiple, non-at fault (as if it matters, injury wise) MVAs and it's not fun. However I can't see myself doing anything like this. If so, take me out back like Ol' Yeller. But the difference is I don't use steriods nor testosterone.

[@daveh1065]

Neither do thousands & thousands of former pro athletes..it's a very small number, if you read the research of SLI, it's under 20%.. so probably spot on with the statement, it depends where in the brain the damage is...& steriods didn't have anything to do with the Benoit tragedy. He was on testerone treatment for testicular atrophy...if it was steriods, it was tied into the steriod manufacturer that was raided in Feb 07, maybe he was an informant? Or customer? Or identity theft? But the 07 steriod scandal was going on before Benoits death & actually helped to sweep it under the rug. Went from Congressional hearings before the deaths, to silence later that year..

[@animula6908]

You sound like a drug addict with a lot of medical terminology involved in your denial.

[@nichhodge8503]

Vince McMahon claimed the doctor’s findings about concussions and CTE were wrong so why did he stop chair shots to the head and if a wrestler suffered a concussion they might not be allowed to wrestle for up to 2 months like Alexa Bliss. For someone who poo-pooed the neurologist’s findings he’s certainly brought in a lot of conditions and rules for someone who receives a concussion in the ring

I don't believe that he killed his son. Maybe himself and his wife but not his own kid. He was murdered by someone for what reason no one knows.

[@sarahs3262]

So, you think that someone else gave the son an extremely high dose of Xanax and then smothered him at least a day after killing Nancy? That’s not even plausible. I know people don’t want to believe that Chris did this but he did. I believe that he gave his son all of the Xanax in hopes that it would kill him but when it didn’t he smothered him.

Yup. When mom’s kill their kids and then themselves it’s the same. As a parent it’s kind of normal to take your kids with you wherever you go, but what’s not normal is thinking it’s ok to make death one of the places you intentionally go. Society is so messed up.
