Guys, dunno if you realize or not, but "The Sheik" and "Iron Sheik" are two entirely different people. Seems like your talking about the iron variety of it, but im not sure. Just wanted to point that out.
Also, the level of discource in any modern tragedy is really low right now. It seems all tragedy is more social porn than anything, and the main focus is always to find a majority-accepted culprit to blame, i.e. wrestling in Benoit's case.
It goes beyond that too. School shootings = video games, rapes = porn, it's always there. There might be a social function to it, help people get closure or whatnot - but that also says a lot about our society. You really shouldnt need closure if people you didnt know die. It also might just be our general interest in social porn. I dont know.
Shit man, Benoit was a fucked up individual. Thats the end of it. It almost makes me angry that people try to blame this amount of fucked-uppedness on brain damage. A shitload of people have concussions. Its just a social scapegoat to make people somehow feel better, as they have someone to blame.
I do realize im not really adding to the conversation, just maybe thinking if a lot of you guys see it the same way.
