Missing Links on Benoit Tragedy, Former WWE Divas on TV & Much More

Jim Ross – “This is not a steroid issue. That horse needs to be put in the barn and unsaddled. This was a domestic issue … There’s a lot of other criteria that has to be involved in it. I still can’t believe it even happened. It’s a domestic issue, but more than anything it’s a tragedy. It’s a mother and little boy – (they) are dead and that’s the bottom line as far as I’m concerned. A terrible day, but we’re here to pay our respects to the family. This is about the family, and hopefully we’ll be getting some closure to their grief. We just hope that all of us that loved Nancy and Daniel and Chris can start to heal a little bit. Maybe today will officially get that rolling.”

“Everyone is searching desperately to put some perspective into this,” said former WWE employee and wrestling promoter Paul Heyman, who gave Benoit his first big break in the United States. “It’s incomprehensible to think that he did something so heinous.”

“You’ve always got this in the back of your mind, behind every decision you make: If you don’t want to be there, there are probably a million guys who will jump at the chance to be there,” Van Dam said.

“Both Stephanie and Vince had told me at different times how much they loved that I was different and loved my look especially when I got away from the goth look and went with the more punk look which is more me than goth. So don’t put the heat on them for saying I didnt have the right look. Just wanted to clear that up. Thanks.”
