Ummm, I've never seen Benoit inject steroids or seen his blood tests... but it's pretty damn obvious he has been juicing for a long time, most likely since 1992 or so back when he was in New Japan Pro Wrestling and WWF/WCW wasn't even on his radar screen. I assume a pretty accurate "start date" will come out eventually as it did a week or so after Eddie died, but you'd almost have to be burying your head in the sand to not see that he's been on something for at least a decade now.

Benoit in 97, for what it is worth

Even if you say that he doesn't look roided then, well, he obviously was for at least the past few years as yikes!

Also, may I ask what is creepy about that previous pic as that pretty much just looks like a normal pic of the man.

I don't know, maybe it's just the knowledge of what he did very soon after superimposing itself onto my impression of the picture. or maybe it has something to do with strikingly bland paintings on the cheap fake-wood wall combined with his red face and sunken eyes.

So, this whole thing keeps on twisting:

That's pretty friggin' creepy.

The person who posted on the wikipedia has apologized and said it was just a horrible coincidence. That they just posted it based on rumours and guesswork they had seen on some wrestling forums.

That's not to say it isn't getting more creepy. Someone took a picture of him and he signed an autograph for him at the doctor he went to see several hours before they think he killed his wife. The doctor's office has been raided since then.

I'm hoping that the doc gave him a bad batch of something that made him do this. I don't want to hate the guy. I watched the first few minutes of the RAW tribute made before the news of how they died came out and you can tell how highly regarded he was by the people he worked with.

And Benoit was known as a class act behind the scenes, I remember. Back when I used to care about this stuff.

Because professional wrestlers are, usually, dicks.
