Great Interview with Jehrico on the benoit Saga

[Junner]

....with Nancy Grace. Can't hardly watch Nancy Grace cause she's a little over the top. But this is a can't miss. I think the Benoit family doc is on there as well as other guests.


Not sure about the west coast cause I'm over here in the east, but it's on CNN Headline News right now. Tune in if you like.

[Phenomenal One]

[Junner]

Yeah it was worth checkin' out.

Correction tho. Family doc wasn't on. Sorry bout that.
But they did discuss the raid of his personal doctor's office on Thursday.

Actually, it's on again right now...

From what I have heard it was a great interview, it is nice to see someone coming on the media and not bad mouthing the wrestling industry. If anyone has a transcript of the interview, please share it.

On another note, Ultimate Warrior will appear on Foxs' News program Hannity & Colmes on Monday. Gawd only knows what he will say about the wrestling industry. He was suppose to be on today or yesterday but because of the car bombs being found in London, he got pushed back.

Update: Here is a transcript of the Jericho interview on Nancy Grace. I would place it all here but it is rather long, so I placed Jerichos part. You can find the full tanscript by clicking here.


GRACE: Hold on just a moment, Kathleen Mullin. Hold on just a moment. No one is vilifying Benoit. Benoit was a hero, not just to the wrestling community, but to all of the charities that he worked with, to all the people he tried to help.

And this is the choice, as you`re screaming about anabolic steroids, here are the choices. According to police, he killed his wife and his little boy, his mentally handicapped little boy. So if you can sleep better at night, Kathleen Mullin, thinking he did that cool, calm, and collected, fine. I would rather believe myself that, for some reason, he lost his mind.

And I want to go to his friend, Chris Jericho. Jericho knows him better than any of us. He`s known him for years. They`re very dear friends. Mr. Jericho, can you imagine him doing this cool-headed?

CHRIS JERICHO, AUTHOR, "A LION`S TALE": Absolutely not. And that`s why I think, once again, just by the little repartee you had there, it`s getting away from the source. Steroids or no steroids, there`s still a man with a very severe mental problem that was so well-hidden that nobody knew about it, not one person. Nobody knew about it, or maybe his wife did. I don`t know. But nobody I knew that actually Chris talked to or knew about had any indication of these tendencies, and that I think is the major problem.

This is not about steroids. It`s not about wrestling. It`s about finding out about the mental problems this man had to cause him to snap in such a brutal form. I love Chris Benoit; I hate the fact of what he did.

GRACE: I`ve got to tell you something. I, like a lot of other people, have been struggling with what happened. What happened? We don`t know. The murder victims can`t speak. He killed himself, according to the evidence, although there are theories he was murdered. And it`s very hard for me to take and to reconcile this guy that so many people looked up to could cold-bloodedly kill a mentally handicapped little boy.

JERICHO: Of course.

GRACE: In fact, it would ease my heart to know maybe he was on steroids, maybe he flipped for a moment. I`d rather think that than think that he could do that. When he died, the little boy had a little statuette by his bed of his father. He worshipped his father. And from what I`ve been told, the father adored the boy. So what are we supposed to think?

JERICHO: Nancy, that`s the thing. That`s such the dichotomy of this case. This is the problem. Chris loved his children. I`m not just saying he loved his children. He loved his children, all three of them, talked about them constantly, would go out of his way to go home even just for a few hours to see his son, to see Daniel, for sure.

This is the type of father he was and this is the type of guy he was, and that`s why it`s such a crazy -- you can`t comprehend it. That`s what the problem is. Was it steroids? Maybe. But I don`t want to hang everything just from the fact they found steroids. He did not take a shot of steroids and go, "I`m going to go crazy."

This is something that had been building in him for many, many years, obviously, for him to snap like that and go absolutely insane and take away the most important thing in his life. And I know it, because he told me, all three of his children.

GRACE: Back to Louis Fernando Llosa with "Sports Illustrated," Kathleen Mullin brought up a point, how do we know the wife didn`t kill the little boy? Now, police, the investigators at the medical examiner`s office, have gone into the home. It is very apparent, if you`ve never been on a murder scene, when someone has been dead three days and when someone has been dead one day. What do we know about the chronology of the deaths?

LOUIS FERNANDO LLOSA, "SPORTS ILLUSTRATED": You know, I`m not quite sure the chronology has changed, has shifted in its reporting over the past three days. But I don`t want to get off point here. I think we really have to take the WWE to task and ask them to further instigate rules and regulations and take care of their talent.

GRACE: Are you talking about anabolic steroid use?

LLOSA: I`m talking about the use of anabolic steroids and human growth hormone.

GRACE: OK, I want to go back to Mike Brooks. Mike, what do we know - - and I agree with you 200 percent, Louis Fernando Llosa with "Sports Illustrated" -- to Mike Brooks, tell me about the scene. It`s very obvious, as you know, from being on many homicide scenes how long somebody has been dead.

MIKE BROOKS, FORMER D.C. POLICE: Absolutely, Nancy. And I`d like say to Kathleen Mullin, you know, if he did this or she did that to him, what did she do, then tie herself up? I don`t think so. It was just apparently very, very just ugly, ugly scene, Nancy, with Bibles set next to her, set next to the little boy. And, you know, we don`t know exactly, exactly what happened. We don`t know the timeline, the exact timeline as of yet.

GRACE: But she was, in fact, bound hand and foot.

BROOKS: With blood under her head, and what I`m hearing is it looks like there had been signs of a struggle. So, you know, as I said, I don`t think she could tie herself up and then, apparently, the little boy was asphyxiated with some kind of wrestling chokehold.

The other thing, Nancy, as Louis pointed to -- and I`d like to ask Chris, what are the procedures the WWE goes through for their drug testing procedures? Who does it? When? How often? Is it random?

GRACE: Chris, we`ve got about 15 seconds.

JERICHO: It`s random testing done by an independent corporation that Vince McMahon has nothing to do with. If you are caught, you are fined and suspended. There is a list of performers who have been fined and suspended over the last six months. Ask Vince for them. He`ll supply it. It is a real, true, stringent drug test that gets results.
