Chris Benoit and family found dead in home.

[GHP]

Pretty much just people from the industry voicing their opinions. The toxicology reports are yet to be back, that could take several weeks, so it's just kind of a waiting period as of now...



Nothing serious, except toy stores, and websites are pulling all Benoit merchandise from stores, as well as WWE. World Wrestling Entertainment is trying to act like Benoit never existed.

I heard that they are finding out someone else was in the house sometime while or after the whole thing occured and the last text message was sent when chris was already dead. Every day it seems like something new and more suspicious pops up about this whole ordeal. I'd love to see that somehow they find that that whole family was murdered by someone else besides chris. I doubt it but we will see

I was reading on PWTorch that people were saying Chris was bing into GHB. I doubt it, but you never know...

A Huge Blow To WWE Today - Details Inside
07/02/2007 by Ryan Clark

If the news breaking today that Chris Benoit was being supplied with ten months worth of anabolic steroids every three to four weeks by Dr. Phil Astin turns out to be accurate, this will make World Wrestling Entertainment look extremely bad stemming from their press release comments last week.

U.S. Attorney David Nahmias reported that on average, Benoit was reportedly getting a ten-month supply of anabolic steroids every three to four weeks during a period from May 4, 2006 to May 9, 2007 from Dr. Astin. So, the April 10, 2007 WWE drug test that Benoit passed was right in the middle of that time period, making earlier claims by WWE look like a joke now to the media and a huge blow to the company overall.

Records are showing that Dr. Astin prescribed over 1 million doses of numerous drugs over the last two years, many of which were prescription painkillers and anabolic steroids. Many of the prescriptions were un-dated, which is illegal. - Said one federal agent about Dr. Phil Astin: "Dr. Astin allegedly prescribed these drugs like candy. Dirty doctors should be on notice that they face federal prosecution and federal prison time."

The early reaction to this news has to be complete credibility loss for WWE when it comes to the company's Wellness Policy. And with Benoit more than likely being tested throughout the year, it is pretty much impossible to have any form of confidence in the drug policy with the release of this information contradicting everything. It should be noted that Benoit was off for many months in 2006 and likely was not tested by WWE during that period, but it's believed he was tested at least four times minimum during a period where he was taking very heavy doses of anabolic steroids based on the timeline provided by investigators today.

It's now been made public that Benoit was arguing with his wife Nancy over his increased use of steroids at the same time he was subject to a drug testing policy. WWE announcing that Benoit passed a drug test on April 10 is something that can no longer hold up among public opinion now that these facts have been released, especially with it taking place well into the beginning of the Wellness policy being implemented. There are numerous possibilities on how Benoit may have been passing tests. Either WWE's testing is very flawed, Benoit found a way to beat the tests or the drug tests were a cover (although that could be disputed with wrestlers such as Chris Masters and Joey Mercury being subject to them not long ago).

Dave Meltzer provided an excellent commentary on this situation saying quote: "This is the first time when I truly fear that wrestling as we know it not only will be undergoing great changes, but that as bad as Vince McMahon's reputation is in some circles, and even with his history of rebounding from negatives, this will tarnish it to a level that he may never live to fully turn around. There will be a far increased number of cries in the media over the next week, which have already started, to do something about the industry. Between the advertisers, sponsors, and those action figures with the muscular physiques, this is not a story going away soon."

That's pretty much all that's happened.. Benoit's doctor's facility was raided and Benoit's doctor is being charged.

The toxicology tests will show steroids in his body, even though they haven't reported it yet.

Meltzer's comments are kinda scary, though.

I hope this incident doesnt kill wrestling, its not wrestlings fault Benoit went crazy its his and largly the fault of his doc giving him enough roids to kill a horse. The feds are gonna be all up vinces ass now though, I doubt much is going to change though. The feds would have to impose kinds of laws on all traveling performance companies which ain't gonna happen. I bet Vinnie mac has lost millions and millions of dollars in merchandising and his stock is probably doing a nose dive.

 

[Rasan]

and this goes back to what i was sayin earlier in the thread
yeah it ain't vinnie mac's fault, but as a responsible CEO he should have had stricter regulations when it came to steriod use.
but vinnie mac got paper, so this shit will go away in a matter of months.

 

[GHP]

I bet Vince is on more juice now than Benoit was when he flipped, that fool is hella ripped for a dude in his mid 60s.

 

[Rasan]

very true my good man...
but the cat that got caught by the feds is gonna drop a dime, bet that.

 

[GHP]

You know Vince is linking people up with proper roid connects. Hella wrestlers have gotten caught up in roid drug busts.

 

[Rasan]

but all it takes is one snitch and he may be in trouble, so we will see..
yeah true that jayda, one that comes to mind is crush.

 

[GHP]

I heard something about Randy Savage getting popped in a roid ring

 

[The Anti-Vidual]

Again?

 

[Robby2Slobby]

Why would he still need to be taking roids? Does he need them to get his voice rasby for his rap career or something?

 

[timdown]

wait.... rap CAREER?? please tell me theres another cd on the way

 

[Robby2Slobby]

I would hope so, but I have no information on the way.

The first one's classic. Up there with Me Against the World and The Chronic.
