I agree Vince seems like a dick, didn't much like Benoit either but you blame the entertainment and not the person and I argue. Jeff and others make sleazy porn with no moral value- lots of suicide and deaths amongst other things happen in the industry by your value judgment shouldn't Jeff and others be to blame or responsible for those. People flip their lids- sure some industries attract more than a market share of loopy people but in the end it is still a personal responsibility.



here, again, is the thing. you can say that vince didn't put the steroids in his body, he didn't force anyone to do anything, but if you work in wrestling you know how it works. someone brought up chris masters. masters did lose a lot of mass once the wellness policy went into effect, for obvious reasons. you know what? he also lost his prime spot on television, too. what the fuck message do you think that sends? now he's back up looking like a freak, and, wouldn't you know it, he's back featured and pushed on tv. find a picture of eddie guerrero when he started wrestling, then remember what he looked like when he died. why exactly do you think that is? these guys know what they have to do to succeed, and to a very large degree that is dictated by vince mcmahon. add into that pain medication (and they are all on some kind of pain medication) and whatever recreational drugs most of them take to get by and deal with the grind. sure, no one puts a gun to their head, and they all know what the deal is when they get into it, but that's okay with you? fuck 'em? fuck that. benoit obviously had serious problems. so did lots of these guys. it's happened way too many times now, and shit needs to change.
