Vince McMahon Can’t Re-write History

by Scooter

Superstars in today’s wrestling are not like the wrestlers of yesteryear. They are under much more stress and have a grueling schedule. I had to find out for myself what it was like in the mind of a professional wrestler. What does one wrestling superstar have to do with day to day business in doing a job they love. So, I went out and rented “Beyond the Mat”.

The premise of the Documentary is a simple one: Director Barry Blaustein would follow 3 Wrestlers, filming them both in & out of the ring. The Director’s Cut includes some new footage of Vince McMahon, surely one of the most loathsome “Human Beings”, and I use that term loosely, on Earth. Vince McMahon does not sanction this movie or ever will, he doesn’t even want you to watch this movie, that is the TRUTH.

I also decided that I wanted to try to understand Benoit a little better. I still can not fathom the horror of what occured, and I found myself questioning everything, so I went out and purchased a copy of “Hard Knocks” - The Chris Benoit Story, hoping to get some closure from this tragedy.

This 2 disc dvd documentary starts explaining about how Chris started out as a kid who’s only obsession was becoming a professional wrestler. In the DVD, Chris gets emotional when talking about the one man that help fulfill his dream: Stu Hart.

Chris also makes some strange statements about there being more to the story behind him and Kevin Sullivan, but that he does not want to reveal it until he has had a chance to tell his two older children. This made me wonder what he was talking about, and wonder if he was still with his wife when he and Nancy decided to get together? The way I figure, there are at least two separate lives: the man and the character. You have to put together these lives in order to figure and what holds the most truth. For myself, I respect the man for what he did for the business - he had passion and absolute love of the business - I do not respect for what he did.

Vince McMahon is an extremely powerful man, but even he can not undo the past. He also can not conceal secrets for too long - eventually it will all come out.
