are you sure? 100 percent sure? because, to me, you can contruct a chain of events wherein the wwe deserves part of the blame very easily:

1) the wwe promotes drug use among its employees
2) drugs have been shown to exacerbate short term irrationality and aggression
3) those things were almost certainly at play in the murder

would benoit have been fucked up without the drugs? no way to know. was he MORE fucked up because of the drugs? almost certainly.

federal. regulation. now.
