Testosterone cypionate is a steroid. Not that steroids should be the only thing getting the focus, as everyone has been saying, but these results aren't rebutting anything about steroids other than the fact that he was only using (abusing?) testosterone replacement therapy as opposed to other steroids ... at least within the timeframe of how long steroids will show up in your system, which I don't think is that long. I guess it depends on whether your question is whether Benoit took steroids right before that weekend or whether he was a heavy steroid user.
Originally posted by kentishSo now we just have to accept that he lost his mind, and killed his family?
I thought that's what we were having to accept all along. The questions were what contributed to that happening, be it drugs, psychological, etc. The toxicology was never going to give one real answer, just add to and maybe elucidate the speculation.
Originally posted by jwrestleOK, I feel better now. Can mass media stop riding steroids? My guess is they'll word it some way that it still points to the usage over time even though his body came back negative for steroids.
Secondly, yeah, again the E's test policy isn't iron clad is a laugh. Though they try to pass it off, which makes me want to call Stanford now, as perfectly fine.
Finally...I can feel a little better about it all and knowing it was probably something else yet, once again, what legacy to hit a brick wall.
As far as the media goes, If Bret, Debra, Marc Mero, ChynaDoll etc. keep talking probably not.
So, assuming that Daniel Benoit didn't suffer from Fragile X, why were there track marks on his arms? I understand that the toxicology reports didn't come to any conclusion for this. If this is the case, not only was Chris a shit-head that weekend, but he was a shit-head over a long period of time. This doesn't sound like a case of someone who "lost his mind" suddenly.
In Junior High, I lost a friend in a situation where his father slaughtered his entire family and turned a gun on himself. I remember there being some controversy surrounding the burial; the father was laid to rest with his family. Does anyone have any idea what is going on with the burial of the Benoit family? I haven't heard anything about it.
As I understand it, there were separate burials this past weekend in Florida (Nancy and Daniel) and Alberta (Chris). I may be wrong about Florida, though.
Originally posted by TheOldManI recently read that HBK has resisted new theme music for years so that Sherri could continue to collect residuals for the shrieks you hear at the beginning of his "Sexy Boy" song.
That's heartwarming, but absurd. Sherri would never have been entitled to any residuals whatsoever as she didn't write the song. Jimmy Hart on the other hand probably still gets paid for Shawn using it, as he composed it.
Actually, since Sherri's vocals were still being used, she would be entitled to collect residuals for each performance. Probably not a whole lot, considering it's just a brief section, but still. If Jimmy Hart is the composer, he would get a much larger piece of change. And as the primary vocalist, Shawn Michaels has certain rights to that performance of the song as well, although I would expect that's something that would be worked out in his contract.
I don't think those are actually Sherri's shrieks anymore. The version with Shawn's vocals have always had what sounds like two girls doing the shrieks at once, and at a different cadence than Sherri did in her version. Considering she was gone from the company, they probably removed her entirely when they recorded the new one.
Originally posted by newmansmmCan someone tell me why there was no alcohol in Chris' blood?
Or is this going to just be totally passed over by everyone on earth?
Maybe...he hadn't had any alcohol? I mean, that certainly would explain it. Yes. I bet that's it, actually.
Seriously, nobody cares about this but you. Please find another board containing an audience more willing to indulge your kooky conspiracy theories and observations about only the third "WrestleLine" front page change in three years.

Out of respect to you wanting to run the board to keep on-topic, I won't reply to this here.

Right, he couldn't have drank anything, but he was found in a gym with an empty bottle of wine and beer cans.
Guess for now, I'll stop raising questions here.
"For whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." Matthew 16:25
There are empty beer cans in my basement trash can right now, but I haven't drank in over a week. Perhaps Benoit, like me, hates taking out the garbage? Conspiracy solved.
Dean! Have you been shooting dope into your scrotum? You can tell me! I'm hip!
Also, maybe he was drinking early on in the weekend when everything first started. Alcohol doesn't stay in your system forever. Empty cans and bottles should be the least of anybody's concern here.
Lloyd: When I met Mary, I got that old fashioned romantic feeling, where I'd do anything to bone her. Harry: That's a special feeling.
I know this is a sombre theme, but I saw this in a Bill Simmons chat and laughed for quite a while:
If you want WWE high comedy watch Dan Abrams on MSNBC his resident expert on the WWE is Marc "Bad Boy" Mero. Like you couldn't find a more relevant washed up Superstar jonesing for one last chance on T.V.? I think all wrestlers going on shows to give serious perspective should do so in character. Can't you just see Mick Foley on talking about the rampant steroid abuse with his hand in a white athletic sock as Mankind? I feel like the message would be a lot more poignant.
Kevin Kelly: "Mr. Austin, would you like to comment on Wade Keller's Take that endorsing the XFL hurts your anti-authority character?"
Steve Austin: "Oh shit, he actually said that? I thought the boys in the back were ribbing me!"
Kelly: "No, he really said that. Did they tell you the part about you sitting in the stands, looking all skeptical?"
Austin: "AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah... oh man that was too much."

Simmons rules.
Marc Mero's eyes freak me out. Through the eyes and eyebrows he looks exactly like his ex-wife Sable. Creepy.
I'm begging the WWE to give these cable news shows more Benoit footage to show as b-roll (background video). There must be HOURS and HOURS of Benoit promos, matches, entrances and we get the same Wrestlmania XX 20 seconds looped over and over and over.
The Post should have went with "Toothless Aggression"
And since the genius wit of Simmons has finally ripped off and made public the same analogy(ies) from about 3 dozen message board posts over the last couple of weeks, it must be okay to laugh again
F'N SHAPIRO: Benoit 59:1 says I just etc etc etc.
From the Bible!
Psalm 59:1
Deliver me from my enemies, O God; protect me from those who rise up against me.
Isaiah 59:1
Sin, Confession and Redemption
Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.
And he left Bibles by their heads! It all makes sense, right? Maybe if there was a 59th of "JOB"

Demonstrations are a drag. Besides, we're much too high

I think JOB 59 was intentionally omitted from some Bibles. It goes: From the northwest shall come foot of thunder, however it won't get to sip from the cup as the meek mania shall conquer it.
I'm not a big fan of battle royales. But, they could have put together 1 or 2 traditional Survivor Series type 8 man or 10 man matches with Raw vs. Smackdown. That would have given guys like Test, Matt Hardy, Tajiri, etc.
