All the more reason why it is so so so so so so selfish to take drugs irregardless of how it hurts others!!!
If becoming enlightened or an intellectual means I must become arrogant and coldly cynical about the world around me then I'd gladly remain a fool for the rest of my life!!

With his patent flying elbow and flamboyant colors, he was far more awesome than Hulk Hogan and his yellow and red undies.
Haha I definitely see what you mean. He really stood out. IIRC at a time when almost every other wrestler had rock music as their entrance theme, Macho Man's was "Pomp & Circumstance" — that classical thing that always gets played at graduations. With nothing but this knack for standing out, and his superlative athletic ability (his match with Ricky Steamboat at Wrestlemania III is rightly cited as one of the most spectacular ever), he became world-famous. I always thought of his as a singularly American success story. I still kind of do. Been hearing some strange rumors as to why he's not in the WWE Hall of Fame.
Mithril! The dwarves tell no tales. But just as it was the foundation of their wealth, so also it was their destruction. They delved too greedily and too deep, and disturbed that from which they fled.

Paul Bearer was classic. Randy Savage was pretty much one of best wrestlers of the 80's. I remember when he beat King Haku, took his crown and became King Savage. Match that with his flamboyant dress and you have one epic guy!

same goes to drug addicts everywhere in this world, no matter its steroids, heroin or whatever
Indeed!! I dislike ho so many look down on Jeff Hardy for being an addict and yet love the other wrestlers when they take so many drugs as well, it's mind-boggling until somebody does what Benoit did!!

well not everyone will look down of jeff hardy. as a fan, (anyone you adore) despite how bad or dark his/her background is, you'd still accept him.
its all about human perceptions and the way they value people.
lets take Benoit's case for example, yes he did terrible things to his family and himself. but there are people still values his performance.

Ah yes, it doesn't change how much of a wrestler he was, he was great at it. But outside of his character in the ring I now personally have a dislike for him. Another example would be of Michael Jackson, I loved his music but as soon as those allegations where made I went right off of him. Granted it's a little different.
Yeah a little different given that he was found innocent and the families involved were more interested in money than putting away a supposed sexual predator!! Benoit in my eyes was a murderer first and then a wrestler, when you take another person's life I can hardly see any other label superceding that action, it would be an insult to those he killed to see it as that way!!
