Pro Wrestling Chronicle

After a week of good reporting for wrestling journalists and some hype and hysteria from lazy mainstream journalists, these next few links are having a better degree of research and progression from the simplistic “all wrestlers are crazy juice heads ands this one got drugged up and killed everybody” story. Media links inside.

I’ll repost the A.P. link from below as it delves into Jim Wilson, his great book Chokehold, wrestler deaths, regulation, pain pills, and the idea of better schedules. Interesting read that hopefully changes the tabloid TV spin aswell.

An AWESOME article of facts that looks into the timeline of events, and ultimately the aftermath of the WWE’s premature reaction, can by clicking on this link for a Sports Business News article.

Recent WWE death history, steroid use, head trauma, media awareness, and fan’s looking the other way are all dealt with in this Baltimore Sun Article.

We close up this section of very credible links (I’m in shock there’s more then one, but I really feel yesterday we turned a corner in reporting) with two ESPN.com articles. The first looks at attempts to examine Benoit’s brain for trauma from blows to the head. The second speaks with Nancy Benoit’s parents, who are now disputing that their grandson Daniel ever had Fragile X Syndrome. You can find it here.
