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

Probably not bad. Benoit was suffering concussions nightly. Every time he did his headbutt off the top rope it was another concussion. Add in the fact he apparently was taking GHB on a regular basis as well as steroids and he was a shell of a person.

I'd say he had to have had hundreds of concussions in his career without ever taking much time off. Much different then the 7 or 8 from Aikman and Young.
