The second part includes a summary and reaction to Bret Hart’s interview on the Benoit Family Tragedy, people making excuses for Benoit’s action, the Kevin Sullivan dynamic in their history, a theory on why Chris ended his son’s life a day after strangling his wife, what wrestlers were saying on cable news about this including a bizarre Brian Christopher interview, how Bill O’Reilly was a disgrace in how he handled the story on air, thoughts on WWE’s decision to run a “tribute” episode on Benoit despite early indications of the circumstances of his death, and more.
