I honestly think that they'd be better off addressing it and letting his stuff air, though.

Obviously we'll never know when he started abusing Nancy in conjunction to his brain damage, but the fact is there was brain damage that most likely caused him to do these horrible things.

His father was originally lost and looking for answers, but this answer came in the form of science:

"Benoit's brain showed the same kind of damage Bailes and his team found in four retired NFL players who also suffered multiple concussions and later sank into deep depressions and harmed themselves or others."

and the WWE's condescending statement on this information was just fucked:

I feel if they let his matches and the story stand as they do, and allow the individual to draw their own conclusions, it'd be better for all involved. The only time we hear about Benoit is when they censor him, they don't even attempt to let people turn it into a teachable moment.

lol yeah, I know. Most people I talk to know about all that and it sucks. It's the reason I stopped watching wrestling, actually. Not the WWE's actions, but the fact that wrestling could cause this type of disaster. I have a hard time understanding wrestling in the sense that it's just like fake pointless violence but after this I just lost so much respect for all wrestlers. I mean even one who DON'T murder their families just fuck their bodies up beyond belief and I just don't see how it's an intelligent thing to do in any way, especially when there's essentially NO POINT to professional wrestling and it's basically a self-serving industry.

But still, as much as I sympathize and as much as I want to forgive Benoit because I can see that this was a preventable accident, he still murdered a seven year old boy, and that isn't going away, and no matter what anyone does to defend him, I don't think many people are going to care. All they see when they see him is BABY KILLER. I think that trumps anything else anyone wants to say about him and goes to show that, compared to the Austin/Debra thing and other violence against women, this isn't about Nancy. It's about his son.

Plus, in WWE's defense, wrestling HAS gotten a lot safer since this whole thing. They have made changes. I just think this is so super fucked up and it's going to take more time before the public is ready to deal with it. Plus, honestly, if they started defending him publicly Nancy's family would probably sue their balls off. They still have a business to run, it doesn't always leave room for compassion.
