I was in Baltimore during all of this. I told my family to screw off so I could watch everything that was going on.

Watching mainstream media trying to cover the whole Benoit thing was comical at the very, very .... very least.
I can't watch it

no matter how good it is.
David Benoit

Feel awful for him. People are sick, they tweet him chris' texts to chavo? Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to horrible humans are
That was very well-done. I teared up a few times.

Vice did an excellent job with this one.

God bless David Benoit
Meanwhile, the most suprising thing was how only Y2J and Chavo

reached out from the WWE to David after those events unfolded. Absolutely inexcusable. Truly despicable.

was hands down my favorite wrestler in the late 90s / early aughts. definitely felt bad for david watching that. glad to see he and his aunt got back in touch through it though. never liked jerico as a wrestler but good on him for reaching out to the kid after the tragedy.
Oh God. Next week is New Jack.

This series is all murders and suicides and then just New Jack's regular matches.
I want to see the Snuka episode

The episodes are interesting to an extent, to get the perspective of those who were closest to what was transpiring. Back before the Internet, we only knew what hit the monthly wrestling newspapers and TV channels. It also goes a long way in showing you a lot of the people in the industry are diabolical shitty humans.

Both parts of last night's episode are on Vice's official Youtube channel. But the entire episode aired last night on Vice's cable channel.

He just wrote a book ,i ordered it last week
I miss watching Benoit  
Darth Paul : 3/26/2020 6:43 pm : link
I'm in the middle of watching this.

I once saw him put a table across the corner set up another table on top of it and then a chair on top of that table. Malenko handed him a guy and he power bombed him off the chair. His moves were so crisp. Everything he did in the ring looked good.

Steroids will f*** you up. I could not imagine killing my own child.

I wasn't watching WWE at all in 2007 during the Benoit thing. By the time JBL had acquired the belt in 2004, I ditched watching completely. I remember running into a friend at a gas station in the Summer of 2006 when WWE was the furthest thing from my mind and he had a DX shirt on. I thought the shirt looked good for being so old.

He explained to me that DX was back together with Shawn and Triple H and I just laughed in his face. I couldn't believe he was still watching and I couldn't believe they had to do the DX thing... again.

I feel the same way about today's product. Kids i understand being fans, but if you're 37, why bother?

The Ruthless aggression era stuff was miles better than what's on today. I don't see what the appeal is. Brock Lesnar vs some guy.

Well?

I feel the same way. It's awful these days. I only really have a couple of talents I enjoy watching with the main one being Seth Rollins.

He was your basic, awful white-meat, generic babyface last year when he was Champion. But anytime he's a heel (like he is now), he's really damn good, IMO. This current 'Messiah' character he's working right now he has down to a tee. He's really good at being a prick.

I make sure to catch his segment every week on Youtube and that's it.

Other than that, zero interest in wrestling. AEW is even worse than WWE, IMO. So bad.
The guys look/sound way too average too  
Route 9 : 3/26/2020 9:26 pm : link
Rollins has the "look" but then anytime he is on the mic, his voice sounds so cringe and nerdy.

Reigns has the "look" but is as interesting as a NJ Devils game thread on BBI

Kevin Owens just looks like some fat dude you'd see sweating all over the equipment in any given gym.
