Question

By Scott Keith on 13 February 2018


Hey Scott quick question. Was it Chris Benoit's double murder that effectively also killed chair shots to the head? If the Benoit tragedy never occurs do you figure we still have chair shots to the head?

​No, I think it was more the work of Chris Nowinski and bringing attention to concussions that way, plus the overwhelming need to go PG and not scare away any more sponsors.  Chairshots and blood both disappeared in short order once it became obvious that the money was in a clean product.  I don't doubt it was a factor​, but either way things were going to change.
