    Benoit who murdered his family.

    To be fair to Benoit, tests conducted his suicide showed that Benoît’s brain was that of a 85 year old dementia patient.

    Neuroscientist and former wrestler Christopher Nowinski argued that Benoit may have been suffering from repeated, untreated concussions throughout his wrestling career, ultimately leading to an unstable mental state. Nowinski was quoted as saying that Benoit “was one of the only guys who would take a chair shot to the back of the head … which is stupid”. Tests conducted on Benoit’s brain by Julian Bailes, the head of neurosurgery at West Virginia University (WVU), showed “Benoit’s brain was so severely damaged it resembled the brain of an 85-year-old Alzheimer’s patient”. Other tests conducted on Benoit’s brain tissue revealed severe chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and damage to all four lobes of the brain and brain stem. Bailes and his colleagues concluded that repeated concussions can lead to dementia, which can contribute to severe behavioural problems. Benoit’s father said that brain damage may have been the leading cause of the murder-suicide. A statement released by WWE described the findings as “speculative”.

    The Florida Men: The most, uh, interesting mascot in the league. Maybe don’t take your kids to the game.

    Honestly, I find baseball to be boring however when your mascot is Florida Man. I would turn out to watch that.

    “For this game, our mascot is a meth addled man who was recently arrested for fighting an gator in Target.”

    “For the next game, the mascot will be a woman who was found drunk, half-naked shooting ping pongs ball out of their vagina outside of a Chuck-E-Cheese.”
