Page 2 of 5:    <<  Prev   1    2    3    4    5   Next  >>
- Larry asked Bret if he thinks drugs and steroids have anything to do with the Benoit situation. Bret said that until someone can prove that was the case, he won't point the finger to steroids. He said that WWE has a drug test in place and that Benoit passed. Bret seemed to downplay the role of steroids, saying most of the guns may be on growth hormone.

- Cena said that there is no proven knowledge of wrestlers lashing out due to steroids. He said that Benoit's actions took place over a weekend and that it wasn't a roid rage case. Cena blamed the media and said that it's not right to blame WWE for this.

- Jericho said that steroids are not like PCP. You don't get rage the second after you take them. He then brought up how caffeine addiction can also lead to all kinds of mental changes and that nobody would believe caffeine could cause rage or this type of incident even though the symptoms indicate that they could.

- A clip was played of Konnan talking about wrestlers needing drugs, Lex Luger talking about the deaths in wrestling, and Bruno Sammartino talking about drugs and deaths.

- Ted Dibiase and Steve Blackman both joined the show.

- Dibiase called the Benoit tragedy "baffling" and a "stand up guy." He said that everybody respected Benoit and that Benoit often went home to visit his family even when it made his traveling much more difficult and longer.

- Blackman also painted Benoit as a positive light. Larry asked for a negative about Benoit and Blackman didn't have any.

- Jericho said his only negative might have been that he was quiet and that if he didn't want to talk, he wouldn't.

- Dibiase said that Benoit might have had a moment of rage where he killed his wife and that his state of mind may have led to Daniel's killing being a mercy killing.

- Blackman said that Benoit had a great relationship with Daniel and his entire family.

- Larry read an email asking if WWE provides counseling services for its talent.

- Bret said they didn't when he was there.

- Cena said that they do and that throughout this Benoit tragedy, they have had grief counselors coming in to help the talent.

- Cena mentioned how WWE canceled the live RAW show following the Benoit death out of respect to the feelings of the talent.

- They briefly discussed the funeral plans for Nancy and Daniel.

- Larry asked if Benoit ever said anything about problems with Nancy or Daniel.
