It's Kim Nielsen aka "Desire". I had the honor of the "teachings" from Chris, and I am beyond shocked of the recent tragedy. If I had to bet all my money on who would do such a "thing", Chris would be the LAST person I would put my money on. I think that there are a lot of "hidden secrets" of wrestling that no one wants to speak of, and this is costing enormous family hardship. Someone has to finally expose the "wrestling industry" for what it TRULY is. I am willing to tell the truth. Not a single soul should have to live with the way these men and women are treated. They are just a "dime a dozen" in McMahons' eyes. He is laughing all the way to the bank!

Well, by now the whole world knows of the horrible news that took place this week. With all of the comments and messages from people saying how sorry they are for our loss, I figured I would speak in general. I am 100% in agreeance with WWE and Mr. McMahon on completely erasing all tributes to Chris Benoit. While he had always been nice and polite to me and most of the WWE talent, what he did is completely disgusting and unforgivable! This man who could have been a legend has demolished his reputation. My heart goes out to Nancy and the adorable Daniel and the family and friends they left behind!

How Can This Be?
I can not begin to articulate my feelings about the tragedy in the Benoit family. It is something I am really struggling to comprehend.
I heard the news late Monday afternoon just as I was sitting down in a business meeting in Pittsburgh, I sat stunned as I listned to DDP on the other end of the phone, trying to tell me what happened. My meeting went very late into the evening and there was little new information when I went to bed.
My phone rang at 7am on Tues and the caller ID revealed a 404 area code. Assuming it was someone that I used to work with in the area, I answered the phone. It was a local sports/talk show in the Atlanta area and they wanted to get my comments. I hesitated, but since the radio personality was a friend of a friend, I decided to go ahead.
The questions started out ok...what one would normally expect in a situation like this. However they quickly turned into a "who's to blame" line of questioning and went down hill from there.
It's really impossible anymore to be honest about something as tragic and emotionally charged as this issue without sounding like I have some kind of "hidden agenda". Its clear that the media wants to blame steroids, professional wrestling, Vince McMahon, or anyone or anything else that further sensationalizes this family tragedy.
I refuse to join the choir.
I don't have enough information. I wasn't there. I am not a psychiatrist. I just can't imagine how or why this could have happened.
God bless Nancy and Daniel. God forgive Chris Benoit.
