Benoit and wrestlers in general

[Stickman]

What he did was terrible and he's going to hell for it. With the amount of deaths in the industry I hope Congress gets involved since wrestling can't police itself.

However....

So many people on these boards and around the world are affected by it, passing judgement on the guy. Their mighty hero turned out to be a monster. We're shocked and appauled. But come on people, we have to quit putting pro wrestlers up on a pedastol. They are not the Saints many of you think they are. Probably the large majority have taken steriods. I can't believe some people think Benoit was not on the juice. It's pretty obvious just by looking at them that these guys have juiced. Many of them are into narcotics or abuse prescription meds. I doubt most of them are loyal to their wifes being on the road as often as they are. The boss tries to sweep shit under the carpet.

Not all wrestlers are bad guys, I'm sure some are completely clean. But I feel it's really important to remind you that these guys are not the nicest cleanist people in the world. Yes, there's bad people in every walk of life but we need to stop idolizing these guys so hard. Hulk Hogan was the biggest thing but the guy was on the juice and is a backstabber yet we worship the ground he walks on.

You can watch and enjoy professional wrestling, as I do, but really, don't be thinking the guys you watch are anything special outside the ring.

You guys can flame away all you want at me, but quit holding professional wrestlers to such a high standard.
