Just watched the Benoit episodes. It still - thirteen years later - has not sunk in. I'm still so shocked by it. The man who made me fall in love with pro wrestling doing such a terrible, frightening and cowardly thing. I'm devastated all over again.

Jericho saying Benoit loved the business, and that he knew the man who committed the crimes wasn’t the same guy he knew because that weekend almost killed the business. This line sticks out to me on the horrors of brain dams ge. That even the slightest brain damage can change someone forever. What was chilling to me was Chavo saying Johnny Ace was upset he didn’t mention the texts he got from Benoit until the next day. If Chavo mentioned them right away and the wellness check happened that night, would police have caught Chris before he killed himself? What if Chris showed up to the Night of Champions PPV and won the ECW Title as scheduled? To me these make this event all the more chilling. Most likely they would’ve went there and found him, and found Nancy and Daniel as they were followed by having him arrested for what he did. I suppose it’s possible they wouldn’t have found them, depending how the check went. If they were inside the house, they probably would’ve smelled the bodies like they did when they did the actual check. But, I guess nothing can be ruled out in a hypothetical scenario. |

I caught the end of the second Benoit Episode. Really sad. His son looks just like him. His sister in law saying she might one day forgive Chris for what he did was shocking.

The New Jack episode wasn’t that good at all. There was no real story to it just New Jack talking about what a scumbag he is

I didn't expect to hear anything new in regards of the New Jack one. What they gave us is what I expected. But I did enjoy it. Jack seemed to take it seriously, and was as normal as he could be in the interviews.

I didn’t hate it I just thought there would be more or there would be more back story kind of. I guess it was just a bit of a different episode |

I watched the New Jack episode. I was surprised that Paul Heyman wasn't interviewed at all. I enjoyed it but he's a real racist psychopath.

The New Jack thing is tough because wow what a scumbag but not only did I like him as a kid but even thinking back on it beating people up while "Natural Born Killaz" plays for duration of the match is objectively cool imo.

I just watched the New Jack episode. I had to laugh when he said "Grimes says 'Jack! Jack, I can't feel my legs!' I said 'You ain't gonna need 'em. Bombs away!"

I'll watch it eventually especially since nothing else is on, sports, these days.
However, like others I know the story and certainly don't care at all for New Jack, so expectations are low.

The New Jack episode was really a different take for DSOTR. It wasnt all doom & gloom like the other episodes have been. While I wouldnt make it the best show, it was still entertaining. Honestly I laughed more at the stories then anything. I loved how when he started most of his crazy stories it started with "Once again...I was on coke...Higher then a mutha  a" |

NJ must have missed the first day of wrestling school where they teach u the point of pro wrestling is not to hurt your opponents 😂

I loved how when he started most of his crazy stories it started with "Once again...I was on coke...Higher then a muthaa" I don't say this to imply that I wish death on him, because I most certainly don't. However, I have no idea how New Jack is alive. People die from snorting coke all the time, sometimes from their first try. If he's telling the truth about doing coke for 20+ years, especially in the amounts that he referenced, then it all but defies science that he's still upright and breathing. |

I watched the New Jack episode. it was rough, dude is too violent. how you can have a guy admit on tv that he intended to kill people and there be no ramifications is beyond me. |

Cornette vs Russo on Tuesdays episode should be entertaining. I never really grasped why Brawl for All was a thing and hopefully I will learn a lot of info like the other two episodes.
