The drummer is a wrestling fan

Trish Stratus on The fight Network:

Nash was probably the more logical of the two but I felt like he was too lackadaisical with his arguments... it was too easy for critics to just brush him off as another defensive wrestling-guy... you can tell they were panicking because they weren't giving him the answers they wanted, though... God help the media...

Depression is a tough thing... who's to say that those who would've spoken up to Benoit wouldn't have just been brushed off with an "I'm fine, what are you talking about?" type of reaction? I'm no psychologist, but I know that there are some things drugs can't cure. We don't know what was going on in his head and we'll never know. Is there a lesson to be taken from all of this? I don't know... Maybe it just wasn't preventable...

That dumb bitch. Why is it their agenda to pinpoint steroids as the cause when it's been repeatedly said by those close to the situation that the issue runs deeper than that? What do they gain from pushing "rage" into the public's minds?

God I fucking hate American TV. They call this "journalism"? How did these people get TV shows on supposedly legitimate news networks instead of being relegated to Jerry Springer-like syndication where they belong? At least Jerry's honest about what he does...

I don't see how they could, honestly., since anyone can edit Wikipedia. Just because he turned out to be right on a freaky coincidence, well, still he didn't do anything illegal. Everything should sort itself out when this breaks in the mainstream news and this guy ends up with his own wikipedia page, complete with vandalizations and all. Poetic justice at its finest. Might even screw with him professionally for a while if this whole story pops up when a potential future employer googles his name and finds this stuff. This has become hilarious... the dude's amusing himself with the anonymity of the internet and gets caugt in a freakish coincidence. Now his name and image are publically associated with things like: Artest is a piece of @!$%# nigger!!!!!!! People want to @!$%# her in her lovely @!$%# and whip her ass til the dawn of day. Many people fantasize about ramming their cocks up her @!$%#. Don't fuck with Wikipedia... Good for the person in this very thread who found all this on Monday night days before the world caught on...

Thought it was interesting how when questioned about the 60 wrestlers who've died young in the past 20 years, Vince replied saying he didn't know if those facts were true, emphasizing that there have been 5 performers under contract who have passed away in the past 20 years... as if the others never had anything to do with him or his business. They then showed graphics of Hennig and (though inaccurately) Davey Boy... both performers who've spent the better part of their careers in the WWE, both dying within 1 or 2 years following their WWE releases. He'll never own up to the adverse impact his image of a stereotypical wrestler has had on the wrestling industry. All through the steroid talk, all Meridith really had to do was say, "Vince, can you please take off your shirt?'

It said "Davey Boy Smith" so really just a picture mess-up.

Lawler seemed like he was really trying to downplay the steroids and protect the business... He looked totally fucked up...

Debra McMichael speaks as well:

How humane of him to allow the dogs to live and make sure they would be taken care of.... He may have meant to keep the (guard) dogs away from the bodies' potential finders... Then why did the cops have a hard time getting in with the dogs in the yard?Couldn't the have entered where the garage was? I didn't know about this and I don't know...

Perhaps he wanted to differentiate it from mail-only addresses that I'm sure is common among celebrities... Ok,I see.But I would think the people he texted it too would know his address.Maybe not.And I wonder if the text messages were repeated to the same two parties again or different ones.I think the last text was to someone different and didn't say "My physical address" Even if they did know, just sending a message that vague and mysterious would probably send a signal to the recipients to go and check the place out... To me it just clearly seems like he wanted the bodies found... As for the missing "physical", I don't know, maybe he felt that it was unnecessary after typing it 3 times.

Jacques Rougeau on CTV News Net now... totally plugging his own promotion. Says, "Stay away from steroids."

Fight Network Radio (www.hardcoresportsradio.com) is spending the entire hour (3-4pm) discussing the issue

Quite the same as everywhere else... just with "Canadian wrestler" off the top... Edmonton has been a bit unique... It seemed like Benoit was never a mainstream Canadian name outside of Alberta.

TFN will be airing new episodes of NOAH starting this Wednesday featuring commentary from Mauro Ranallo and Dan Lovranski. On the card this week: GHC Tag Team Titles: Mitsuharu Misawa/Yoshinari Ogawa vs. Keiji Mutoh/Taiyo Kea IWGP Tag Team Titles: Yoshihiro Takayama/Minoru Suzuki vs. Wild II (Takeshi Rikio/Takeshi Morishima) GHC Jr. Heavyweight Title: Yoshinobu Kanemaru vs. Jushin "Thunder" Lyger

Hope they get Russo to hold a fucking light this time so we can see what's going on.

Not that I'm complaining but wasn't Jessica Simpson comfirmed to play Dazzler for the movie?
