paradox, have they really ruled out any foul play on someone killing them all and framing him?
where is mr monk??
No new details but the wrestler Konnan said in an interview that Benoit probably just snapped. Konnan also said that it might be a result of an undiagnosed concussion. All of the wrestlers being interviewed say that drug use is common among wrestlers. Painkillers are at he top of the list. Also, top wrestlers are away from their family almost 300 days out of the year. In other sports you get a break. The only break that you get in wrestling is when you get injured. For many wrestlers that means no pay.
Who is Mr. Monk?
