Benoit's Brain Showed Severe Damage From Multiple Concussions

Benoit's Brain Showed Severe Damage From Multiple Concussions, Doctor and Dad Say

The family of Chris Benoit has been searching for answers since late June, when the professional wrestler killed his wife, 7-year-old son and then himself.

At the crime scene, police found anabolic steroids prompting many to suspect that "roid rage" had accounted for Benoit's behavior, which his family found out of character for the 40-year-old.

His family now believes that new test results on Benoit's brain explain his vicious actions.

The tests, conducted by Julian Bailes of the Sports Legacy Institute, show that Benoit's brain was so severely damaged it resembled the brain of an 85-year-old Alzheimer's patient.

Bailes and his research team say that this damage was the result of a lifetime of chronic concussions and head trauma suffered while Benoit was in the wrestling ring.

Benoit's father, Michael Benoit, is speaking out in order to warn other athletes, both professional and student.

Is there anyone left in the WWE?

NEWS FLASH!
John Cena faces himself at Unforgiven!

Well it seems to be headed that way at least.

John Morrison, Chavo Guerrero, Mr. Kennedy, Umaga and Charlie Haas appear to be the wrestlers most likely to be suspended over violations of the WWE " Wellness Policy".

Six more wrestlers including Randy Orton, King Booker, William Regal, Santino Marella, Chris Masters and Funaki fates remain unclear.

( I'm willing to go double or nothing that " Bulletproof" Orton gets off scott free again)

Two more wrestlers Adam "Edge" Copeland and Gregory Helms are possible, but they are on the injured list.

Batista appears to have been cleared by everyone except the media.
( And he's pissed!)

Add to this Sylvain Grenier's release from WWE after what was apparently a backstage argument with a road agent, Eugene being fired for a third strike on the Wellness Policy, Cryme Tyme being released, Simon Dean.....

The list seems to be growing and growing.

Last one out turn off the lights......
