Look,while I don`t think we should in anyway down play the actions committed by Beniot when he killed his family& himself,I still feel like he got screwed over by the WWE.I`m hearing stories about how they`ll never put Chris in the Hall Of Fame& quite frankly its beginning to pisss me off.
When the story first broke,it made sense to be quiet about the whole issue.It was too confusing,too hurtful to make any sense of the whole incident so we all just felt it was best to keep respectfully silent.Besides,we didnt know all the facts.Now we know that he probably wasnt in his right state of mind& that "roid-rage" had probably little to do with the whole incident.The move by the WWE to erase him from the history of pro-wrestling,however,bothers me greatly.Right now,WWE DVD releases have Chris edited out & I have a feeling its going to be a bitch to try and get hold of a copy of WrestleMania XX.
As far as I`m concerned,WWE never did enough to take care of its talent.They are in some way responsible for what eventually became of Chris Beniot.Just like Eddie before,they probably knew that Chris was getting beat up real bad in the ring.But they needed him to put over ECW,they by putting him under more strain.That was one of the reason Kurt Angle cited for leaving the WWE.He felt he was putting his life endanger for the sake of a company that at the end of the day didnt give a toss about him.They gave Kurt a more intense work schedule in ECW,knowing full well he wasnt 100%,and then turned around and suspended him for being addicted to pain medication.
In all of the statements released by the WWE regarding Benoit after the incident,the one major thing I noticed was that the never took any sort of responsibilty for what happened.The never explained how Beniot managed to cheat their oh-so-great Wellness Program.They had to have known that he was depressed.There were reports coming from backstage that Beniot had been keeping to himself since Eddie`s death.And all off a sudden,people are talking about Chris`strange behaviour now,instead of having addressed it then.
Chris` brain apparently looked like that of an 85yr old Alzhiemer`s patient.As far as i know,that probably had more to do with severe head trauma ove a long peoriod of time than steriod use.The WWE banned the Shooting Star Press,but let Chris perfom the Suicide Dive for years.On many occasions,part of that spot would involve Chris actually missing.
WWE had this promo a few years ago called "Our Season Never Ends". Well maybe if their season did end occasionally,Chris&Eddie`s seasons wouldnt have.
I can go on& on about the many ways Chris& his family were let done by the business they loved.All I have to say is that any talk by people or the WWE of not putting Benoit in The Hall Of Fame is tragic& pathetic on the part of anyone who agrees with them.Beniot was one of,if not the greatest of all time
R.I.P Chris Beniot,Thanks for the Memories....
