Benoit Mentor Makes Very Tasteless Statement, More

[DieOff]

- Scott Steiner will face Dustin Rhodes at the UWF show on August 3rd in Fayetteville, NC at the Riddle Center at Methodist College. Also scheduled for the show are Steve Corino vs. Senshi and appearances by Sabu, AJ Styles, Ron Killings, Christopher Daniels, D-lo Brown and more.

- The Globe tabloid out of the UK is claiming to have a world exclusive interview with Tom "Dynamite Kid" Billington, who was a kind of mentor to Chris Benoit. Benoit looked up to Billington and patterned his style after him. The Dynamite Kid had the following harsh words to say:

"I feel no sympathy for him. We all knew the dangers. Benoit should have known his limits. We've all been through it, but we didn't take it out on our loved ones. His poor wife and child didn't deserve to die just because Benoit screwed his life up. I'm glad he's dead! I warned Benoit to be careful - the wrong combination could send you over the edge. I'm convinced that's what happened here. He got it wrong, and his wife and son paid the price."

well dynamite kid is right tho

[Odin]

tasteless, tactless, but right.

[Slug]

It may be harsh, but it's the truth.

[Resin]

it might not be the greatest thing to say but that's brutal honesty.

[IMAMEX]

Dynamite Kid was always a badass and as a guy who's been close to tragedy before he knows what that shit is about. Great fucking statement.

[Beanflicker]

Nothing tasteless about that, its 100% truth. Billington knows the dangers of pro wrestling and steroids better than anyone.

It's all true and okay but the "I'm glad he's dead!" and the "He got it wrong, and his wife and son paid the price." is tasteless.There's not need to be happy someone has died.The rest is true but those parts are unnecessary.

[hotnewton]

He's right... although the I'm glad he's dead part is a little much for me as well

[Beanflicker]

Well the way I think he meant it is that he's glad Benoit is dead for the crimes he committed. Think about it, if you heard on the news that some random guy killed his wife and small, disabled child, you'd probably say "I hope that fucker fries."

good point, that is most likely what he meant

[powdap]

not only is he right, but he has the right to say that, being his mentor and warning him of his limits and the possibilities of taking the wrong combination. it may seem a little harsh but its the truth. and the truth sometimes hurts

[mastema13]

The truth hurts. Burn in Hell Benoit.

[Chaz]

Man this guy is a dick but he's right.

[Beanflicker]

Man this guy is a dick .

I heard a lot of stories about Dyanmite and Davey Boy being the bullies of the WWF back in the day and basically fucking with everyone. Also the time when he jumped Jacques Rougeau and beat him up. I'm glad Jacques gave the fucked what he deserved
