Was he retarded? What is the point of having a signature move that hurts YOU? Every single time he does the headbutt you see him shaking his head in pain and JR saying 'that hurt him just as much as his opponent'. It's not even a good move from a wrestling perspective.

It should be retired as a move. It's just asking for CTE. Can only hope Gable has figured a way to do it safely.

>>18441129 (OP)
He didn't care about his own longevity or wellbeing. He lived his life like a candle in the wind...

What's the point in risk taking when the payoff is that YOU get hurt? Like who ever saw him headbutt and go "damn, his opponent is done for now"

>>18441129 (OP)
if eddie truly was his best friend he should have told him to cut that shit out and find a new finisher, even if we werent aware of CTE at that time, getting your head intentionally hurt bad every match because wrestling isnt supposed to be that painful

>Was he retarded?
Obviously

How much did Benoit like wrestling? It's hard for me to imagine what his VHS library looked like and how he got so obsessed with it in the time that he was young and alive.

Unreliable

His gimmick was Rabid Wolverine, forehead.

How does a flying headbutt hurt the giver? i used to do it all the time cause i never wanted to splash people. Was Benoit just a shitter with this move? or do retarded marks just assume it was the flying headbutt, cause my heckin' CTErinos

>>18441182
>Anon did the flying headbutt all the time
>Also has CTE
The story tells itself, no?

>>18441182
dude he literally would just fall to the ground face-first. You can see him wince in pain every time he does it.

>>18441182
Because he made contact often and even if he didn't the impact from the fall on his upper body could also still, and probably did, cause concussions.

People get real fucking stupid when it comes to brain damage and how the meat inside the skull slaps around. When the NFL started getting lit up in the press, ice hockey equipment manufacturers started marketing bullshit "solutions" in their helmets for parents to eat up. They were trying to tell people that the helmet being free to move a little bit before your cabeza followed has meaningful impact to the sudden de-acceleration event that slaps your brain against the skull. Morons will believe there's magic in anything that solves [current thing] when the only winning move is not to play.

Benoit not knowing that doing a flying headbutt once per week or so is not unhealthy is like Tucker not knowing his dad was a giga glowie
