April 7, 2008
When I decided to end my four year relationship with Tracy Smothers I ordered a three month supply of all his medications before I took him off my insurance.
I also made sure he would have the COBRA forms to be able to extend his insurance.
After I moved out of our home I left all his things in a storage closet in the back of our townhouse for his friend to pick up for him. His friend did that but Tracy has not bothered to go get anything from him.
That means he has none of his medications or the paperwork that he needed to extend his insurance.
I found out yesterday that Tracy has not taken his medicine in close to a month.
He is taking borrowed blood pressure pills and what he called nerve pills. He is still getting drunk every Monday and smoking pot daily.
I know for a fact that he has been having mini strokes since early Christmas morning.
It's happened to him in the ring and when he has been driving to shows.
He told me himself that he had one over a week ago and in the car on Saturday.
They are getting more frequent because he is off his seizure medication.
He has brain damage and post concusssion syndrome to the point where his neurologists told him that he should have gotten out of the ring ten years ago.
Anyone who steps into the ring with him is now taking their life in their own hands.
Any promoter who would consider booking him for a show is insane unless they want to see him die in their ring.
When Tracy is off his medications he is delusional, irrational, and has violent blackouts as well as the seizures and mini strokes.
Without his mediciations he will be the next Chris Benoit!
I got out because I refuse to wind up like Nancy.
If anyone sees him in public or at a show please encourage him to go get his medications that I have already paid for.
His friend has them waiting for him here in Nashville.
I am curently writing a book on dealing with his insanity. I just hope he lives until it is ready to go to press.
It will be a miracle if he survives much longer.
For more information about that please visit my website at www.reneepayne.com
I plan on donating most of the profits from the book to the
Nancy and Daniel Benoit Foundation for Abused Women and Children in Atlanta.
I'm not posting this to be mean or spiteful. I am trying to save his life!
Please feel free to repost this information on as many websites as possible.
Tracy has given his life to the wrestling business and now has absolutely nothing to show for it in return.
If anyone cares about saving his life please get him to start taking his medication and get out of the ring for good.
The wrestling business does not need the stigma of yet another untimely death.
Thank You!

Latest on Tracy Smothers
The DOI received the following email from Beau James, a close personal friend of Tracy Smothers. Here it is:
Hey ,
I just read the thing on your site about Tracy. I being one of Tracy's closest friends would like to add a few things.
Renee is trying to get a book deal and cash in on the Benoit tragedy. She emailed me trying to get in touch with Pam Hildebrand wanting stories about Nancy. She is trying to portray herself as a victim.
Here is the email:
Hey Beau,
Would you happen to have an email for Pam Hildebrand (I can't remember what her last name is now that she's remarried). I'd like to talk to her about something regarding Nancy Benoit.
Or you can give her my email nayre4p@gmail.com or my website address www. reneepayne. com
Thanks so much!
Renee
She also has emailed my wife trying to get her to give information on Tracy.
She has had Tracy arrested 2 times for verbal domestic assault. She has held this over his head for the past 2 1/2 years treating to have him arrested. He has the voice mails of her saved.
He moved out when his probation was up and she could not have anything else did to him. He took one of there two dogs. She is mad about that. Wants the dog back has had all kinds of people get involved in the middle of this crap.
Now she is trying to keep Tracy from getting booked and making a living. Its all a woman's scorn.
Now to cover a few other things. He was staying at my home on Christmas. Did he have a stroke? NO He was out of his blood pressure meds. And had to wait till next day to get them because of Holiday. He is on his meds. Has been.
Is he a raging alcoholic. NO HELL NO. Also would like to add that Tracy still works about 25 towns a month. If he is so out of control how does he make the towns?
The DOI is happy to see the other side of this story and thanks Beau for alerting everyone.
