Chris Benoit and family found dead

Yeah, and if any one of us were in Hogan's shoes then we would have done the same. Gotta look out for No. 1 because you shouldn't trust anybody to do that for you.

 

Excellent point. I think pro wrestling and pro football (NFL) face many of the same challenges. I'm a huge fan of both, but things like steriod/drug abuse, head trauma/concussions, constant injuries sometimes leading to addiction to painkillers, the constant need to be bigger/stronger/faster, inflated schedules, young death rate, etc. need to be addressed.

 

If your being "forced" to use steroids, why not just walk away?
Instead of putting yourself and family at risk, it's not a difficult decision.

 

Lastest AP story...

ATLANTA (AP) — Federal drug agents and sheriff’s officials raided the office of pro wrestler Chris Benoit’s personal physician in search of records and other items, authorities said Thursday.
The raid at Dr. Phil Astin’s office in Carrollton began Wednesday night and concluded early Thursday, said agent Chuvalo Truesdell, a spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Administration in Atlanta. The search warrant had been obtained in connection with the Benoit investigation, he said.
Hours before the raid, Astin told The Associated Press he had treated Benoit for low testosterone levels, which he said likely originated from previous steroid use.
No arrests were made and Truesdell was unable to say what was seized. He said records were among the items being sought, but he could not be more specific.
Astin did not return repeated calls to his cell phone from The Associated Press on Thursday.
Astin prescribed testosterone for Benoit, a longtime friend, in the past but would not say what, if any, medications he prescribed when Benoit visited his office Friday.

 

Uh ... wow.

You guys see this shit?

And add that to this, later in the article:

 

With all of these conspiracies coming into play, they are going to say Chris Benoit killed JFK.

 

From Alex Marvez's column for Friday...

Apparently, Nancy Benoit may have known her tumultuous marriage to a World Wrestling Entertainment superstar was ultimately doomed.
But neither she nor those close to her could have envisioned it concluding like this, with Chris Benoit murdering his wife and seven-year-old son Daniel last weekend in their Atlanta-area home before committing suicide.
“Nancy had for a long time believed this relationship would end violently and in a bad, bad way,” said a former co-worker and Benoit family friend speaking on the condition of anonymity. “She always said the two of them were doomed to hurt each other. But she never imagined Daniel would get in the crosshairs.”

 

"through widely posted Web reports"? WTF is this business coming to?

 

The wikipedia stuff is all bogus. You can easily spoof your IP address. Some kid guessed and got it right.

And now the AP has it as the lead on the latest version...

ATLANTA (AP) — Investigators are looking into who altered pro wrestler Chris Benoit’s Wikipedia entry to mention his wife’s death hours before authorities discovered the bodies of the couple and their 7-year-old son.
Benoit’s Wikipedia entry was altered early Monday to say that the wrestler had missed a match two days earlier because of his wife’s death.
A Wikipedia official, Cary Bass, said Thursday that the entry was made by someone using an Internet protocol address registered in Stamford, Conn., where World Wrestling Entertainment is based.
An IP address, a unique series of numbers carried by every machine connected to the Internet, does not necessarily have to be broadcast from where it is registered. The bodies were found in Benoit’s home in suburban Atlanta, and it’s not known where the posting was sent from, Bass said.
