Im sure everyone knows of the horrible Chris Benoit tragedy. Today I found a video that analyzes the effects of brain damage from concussions and how they played a role in the actions of Chris Benoit and some other athletes.
Man, with this in mind I am really glad T.J. Grant retired. I also couldnt help but think the described results sound a lot like what GSP is experiencing. The one guy said he were experiencing memory loss, and then they said Benoit was getting paranoid and driving home in different paths so he cant be followed. Sounds like GSP's "lost time" and UFO sightings. On the bright side, they seemed to suggest that it can get better when you take time off and stop getting concussed. I really hope TJ and GSP are healthy.

Yeah, don't encourage your kids to get hit in the head. It fucks you up.

- A life of abusing the body, pro-wrestlers performe day in and day out, their body takes tremenduous punishment.
Benoit has took several blows, every pro-wrestlers takes even the regular punch can have horrible consequences, since they didn't used to check regulary back then.
Benoit was one hell of a performer, sad that his legacy got tarnished like this.
WWE Concussion Expert Chris Nowinski talks about his pro-wrestling career as Chris Harvard, competing on TV's Tough Enough, co-founding the Sports Legacy Institute, studying concussions and brain injuries, and what a scientific look at Chris Benoit's brain tissue discovered.

I don't know the story
was it a series of many concussions that fucked him up? Or one big stunt gone wrong?

I have had several 1st-hand stories lately of seemingly regular people going paranoid and saying people are following them.
Sometimes I wonder how much is mental illness and how many are telling the truth lol

His brain was damaged from years of countless concussions. This is the kind of gradual erosion that happens over a career, I feel like you would surely be dead if you got all that damage at once.
Could this case have been a MURDER??
ABC news blaming brain damage... but damn, kill your wife and kid, then yourself?
I almost think a hit on him and his family from outside is more plausible...?
Has anyone in the wrestling world suggested some foul play/coverup?

If you listen to the podcast that Edge posted, Jericho interviews the guy who studied Benoits brain, post mortem. He says only a few boxers had as much brain damage as Benoit, and of those few all of them tried to kill their families. Its not hard at all to believe Benoit really did it.
However, since you ask, there are conspiracy theories that he was killed by his wife's exhusband. Considering the evidence I find this unlikely, but if you find your curiosity unsatisfied, I suggest looking at the other videos on the youtube channel of the video in the OP.

Any good story needs an 'expert' to solidify it.
But you have proven you critical thinking 1000x over, so if your spidey senses ain't tingling I'll trust you.
What a nightmare situation

But Mas, isnt appealing to my credibility the same as appealing to that of an expert? :P Not that I claim to be an expert, but I think there is truth to the fact that we will often listen to those who are respected or established(there is a functional advantage, but unchecked it can turn us into sheeple). I always like to heard your input, even when we disagree, because you always have a unique perspective. Take my word for it ;)
