Chris Kanyon has responded to the latest developments in the Chris Benoit story. Excerpt:

Jennifer McIntosh, a spokesperson for WWE was quoted as saying that WWE found, "no medical records of [Benoit] suffering a concussion. We don't have any answers as to why Chris did what he did. We're still awaiting the law enforcement investigation to be concluded."

Finally, some reasonable explanation as to what may have caused Chris to do what most believe he did.  For those of us who knew Chris, the murder allegations were so out of character, that simple Roid Rage did not make sense as to the reason.  Chris would have been among the last people that I would think could do what he is being accused of.  The findings of the Brain biopsy finally gives some reliable possible explanation.  Finally the legacy of a 40 year life and an incredible multi-year career may not be totally defined by his last 3 days on this rotten planet. 

That is unless the WWE has their way.  Suddenly they are trying to make sure everyone remembers Chris as the monster that committed those horrible crimes, and is trying to discount these recent findings that would show Chris as not a monster, but a victim of brain damage that contributed to the tragedy that befell Chris and his family.

The WWE with their statement is obviously, in my opinion, trying to discredit the findings by writing them all off as speculative (which all attempts to explain why Chris may have done what he was accused of will be).  I believe they are trying to paint poor Chris' father as a desperate man reaching for straws.  And, in my mind, most criminally, they are trying to insinuate that Chris has had no concussions in his career.

Well, the main reason for writing this bulletin, is to totally shoot down that last, and most criminal accusation.  I personally know for a fact that Chris had at least 2 concussions in matches against me.  Both times in the late 90's in WCW.  Both concussions were caused by the diving headbutt.  Both times they resulted in bloody noses from the move and when we got to the back to congratulate each other for the match, he told me that the headbutt had caused the bloody nose as well as a concussion.

I am one opponent.  Chris probably did that move well over 1000 times in his career.  He has also done it off the top of a steel cage a few times.  He has taken tons of chair shots.  Believe me, he has had a bunch of concussions, and for the WWE to try and insinuate that because no medical records exist to back that up that Chris has had no concussions, in my mind is criminal, disrespectful of their current slaves (I mean wrestlers), and worthy of a boycott of their product.

He went on to say he knows of 12 concussions he had in his career. He also, sadly, predicts wrestlers will go on hiding injuries, especially concussions. "Many wrestlers are afraid to report any injury.  Many times, if you suffer an injury and must take time off, you are punished when you get back to action by being beaten consistently, or worse yet, fired while you are hurt."
