    Very. I understand the family's grief but, if they are successful in claiming the estate, I hope the other two kids are taken of.

    I thought Benoit had bought a life insurance policy shortly before this all happened and it was for his ex-wife and the two kids.

  5. Of course, this will get far less play than the steroid theory did because concussions aren't the hot button that steroids are today.
    A sad story, all the way around. Let's hope that the NFL and pro wrestling (the entire industry) takes the right measures to protect the long-term safety of their athletes.

    I smell a lawsuit in WWE's future.

    Not the first time I've heard concussions related to depression.

    This will not end well for the WWE. Also, someone mentioned that 10 wrestlers are suspended because of steroid useage. Has anyone else heard about this?

    I think the families of Chris Benoit and his wife have one hell of a lawsuit against WWE.
