Wrestling and football. How are they related?


Wrestling and football are both kind of related in my opinion because of the fact that the injuries suffered are the same.  A football player shot himself in the chest to preserve his brain.   My guess is that the many concussions he sustained affected his brain. Sounds familiar?  Football players have also been known to abuse drugs and alcohol as well just as wrestlers do.  Yet you never hear of them getting suspended unless they get caught.  Football players and wrestlers put their bodies on the line to entertain us and they get injured and yet it seems as if wrestling gets the bigger rap for suspending wrestlers and the NFL don’t. Why is that? Who knows for sure?  Football  players has the same health issues as wrestlers and yet no one offers to help them nor do they offer to get them help for the drug and alcohol abuse now do they. Not dissing either company but I just feel as if you punish one sport for something that a wrestler supposedly did than you should punish the others too.

It only seems right don’t it? I mean you haven’t heard of any football player do the same thing as Chris Benoit supposedly did now have you? Not saying that it hasn’t happened but just saying that we haven’t heard.  This is just my opinion and how I feel. 

Chris Benoit


I have watched the videos on this particular story and I don’t think he did indeed do the killings. Some of the consistencies of the stories just don’t add up.  He would never miss a match and was looking forward to that match he was supposed to have that night at the Great American Bash because that was one belt he never had and he was wanting it.  I also don’t think he had the heart to kill his wife and son in the way that he did because his son was his life and he loved his son very much.  Yes I think he took pain killers and steroids but don’t all wrestlers?  I mean really they put their bodies on the line night after night just to entertain us and suffer injuries so yeah they will use them and at times abuse them but that does not mean that they go out and kill.
They said his mind was that of a seventy year old man due to all the concussions he suffered.  Ok maybe so but that still does not mean that he necessarily killed them.  Me personally I think he was set up and here is why.  The address on the text messages he sent were in correct.  Whoever sent them sent one from his wife’s phone?  Don’t you think if he did in fact kill them that maybe he would not have used his wife’s phone to send the said message? I do because if he did that there would have been questions asked?  He despised alcohol and yet there were all kinds of beer cans and other alcohol bottles surrounding his body.
