To say it's just fatigue shows ignorance, though that is to be expected as you don't follow wrestling.
Easy to say, but the guy was earning millions (or nigh on) so why would he want to.
Quote A:HOw do you know they carry on with major injuries? I used to be a big fan of WWF then WWE...they had scenes that suggestd to the fans that "what a brave man...fighting on through such pain", making the adrenaline rush and the excitement more gripping. Yes, i'm sure there were exceptions. But these guys are insured to high hell. I doubt they would insure someone who knowingly does such physical expolits when they have such injuries.
I can think of....i can't remember his name (the guy who had a sock he stuck in people's mouths) hurting himself bad, and the match was stopped. Also British Bulldog, Brett Hart etc.
Footballers also play with injuries, as do probably every other sport.
Quote B:Because of the pain they are in? I can't believe for a second in their contracts it would say "you are obliged to perform with major injuries".\
I used to love wrestling mate, more than football. Benoit was always cool.
I'm guessing steroids may have played a part in his demise mentally.
