Benoit-Larry King Live - Must Read RecapBenoit-Larry King Live - Must Read Recap

Larry King Live focused completely on the Chris Benoit tragedy and the pro-wrestling industry tonight. John Cena and Chris Jericho were live in-studio guests while Bret Hart was a guest via satellite. - - They talked about why Chris Benoit would do this type of thing. Jericho talked about how Benoit had a "heart of gold" and said that people described him as a "man's man" and continued to express his shock and confusion over why Benoit would do it. Bret Hart said that he heard about the incident from Carl DeMarco who heads WWE Canada. He also talked about how he was shocked at the incident, stating that Benoit was cool, calm, and relaxed and said Benoit would be one of the last guys in the world he'd expect this from.

- Larry asked Bret if he knew anything about Benoit's relationship with his wife and son. Bret said he didn't and that he hadn't been too in touch with Benoit since he retired from wrestling back in 2000. Bret again said that Benoit was a leader and was very loved by everybody.

- John Cena backed up what Bret Hart said. He called Benoit a big brother and a mentor and one of the best wrestlers in the industry.

- Jericho called Benoit the Michael Jordan of wrestling and credited Benoit with changing the style of American wrestling in many ways.

- Jericho said that Benoit idolized Daniel and his other kids and that he talked about them all the time. He even said that if he needed to leave his kids with someone, he'd leave them with Benoit and that's why all of this is so shocking.

- Larry asked about Daniel's mental status. Jericho said that he heard about Daniel having Fragile X right after the tragedy and said that the symptoms of the disease did fit Daniel but that he wasn't sure if the Fragile X stuff was true or if Daniel was just shy like his dad.

- They ran a clip which mentioned how wrestlers are so much more likely to due than football players.

- Larry King mentioned how wrestlers are tremendous athletes even though it's all a show. Jericho said that people may not understand how hard it is to be a wrestler.

- Larry asked for details on how wrestling works. Jericho called it "show business with an athletic edge."

- Cena said it's an athletic form of entertainment.

- The topic shifted to steroids. Larry played a clip from when Hulk Hogan was on the show in 2000. Hogan said that steroids and drugs do exist in wrestling and that drugs are available and guys often need them to deal with the pain of the business.
