Did you miss where I said lately? Yeah, a lot of people were calling him a fuck-up at that point, but since he's been dead, we get to hear about how he was "tragically taken from us." However clean he did or not get, he died because of his own stupid-ass decisions. And I've never heard anybody call Hennig a fuck-up, ever since he died I've just heard how sad and tragic his death was, never a word about him being a victim of his own actions. Nah, apparently you can only be a fuck-up when you're alive. Dead people are all tragic heroes, after all.

Also, KK, if you'll show me to myself making the "Benoit never did no drugs" line, I'll freely admit that that was a dumbass thing to say. I remember being pissed at the media in general for the whole "steroids as the only cause of the "Weekend at Benoit's" incident, and I remember demanding that people wait for actual test results before passing judgment. I also remember desperately wanting there to be another explanation, and I remember drinking a lot around that time, so I may well have said something that stupid. Still, if I did, I want to see it.
