Irvin Muchnick Confronts Wrestling Legend Bret Hart

On the June 29, 2007, edition of CNN's "Nancy Grace," Irvin Muchnick, author of Wrestling Babylon, and retired wrestling great Bret Hart were on a panel discussing the murder-suicide of wrestler Chris Benoit. Muchnick challenged Hart to be more forthcoming about the likely role in the Benoit tragedy of the industry's culture of steroid abuse. More information: http://muchnick.net

i wanna see this leech muchnick argue with paul heyman or jim cornette...they will rip him a new asshole

As much as I disagree with WWE's non-response to steroids, this was not the case. This was brain damage. It could have been prevented or mitigated, but let's call it what it is.

Irv Munchnick is a leech who has made a career on offering criticism and conjecture simply devoid of any ideas on how to fix things. I simply throws rocks at others and then bitches when they don't repair the damage as quick as he'd like.

@sayanroy36 HAHA awesome

As soon as he brought up Owen and Davey Boy I wanted to punch him in the face. Cheap heat Irv you fucking prick.

I think its short sited to say steroids were the ONLY factor. Perhaps 20 years of chair shots to the head were also a factor. also Davey boy Smith didnt die exclusively because of steroids he was a drug addict and had a heart attack

@blumpkin757 they would go bankrupt within 2 years if they did that!

@BronzeBullBalls Yeah. I thought consensus was brain damage from repeated blows to the head (look at all those german suplexes) that caused his mental issues

[BronzeBullBalls]

Steroids DO NOT completely alter the psychology of a person. To say that Chris Benoit was a well adjusted man until he started using steroids is ridiculous.

Bret was right

@blumpkin757 Nah they just need a better schedule.

@GAStayPosi Yes they are man. It causes a chemical imbalance and makes you go crazy at times. Think of a more pure P.C.P. Typical steroids that are perscribed from doctors for conditions such as lung disorders and that stuff are not the type of steroids they are talking about.

@zzPinkTacozz37 I think he was talking about just about the business over all. Irv likes to poke at things and make the business I dont want to say look bad, but he dont help matters when stuff like this happens.
