Maven Says Steroids Were Not To Blame For Chris Benoit Tragedy, Says Benoit’s Crimes Are ‘Unforgivable’

In an interview with False Finish (via Wrestling Inc), Maven spoke about the Chris Benoit tragedy and said thaat he doesn’t think steroids are to blame for what happened. In 2007, Benoit murdered his wife and son before committing suicide.

Maven said: “The moment someone blames steroids on what he did, I shut them down immediately. Steroids had nothing to do [with it]. Steroids is an easy way, and whenever you see somebody say ‘Roid rage,’ that’s an easy way for someone to excuse someone being an a*****e. That’s it. Chris Benoit suffered from brain damage. Hands down. And I think they’ve said his brain was that of an 80 year old. It’s just…you never know what it’s going to take to make someone snap, to take them over that edge. And what he did there in Georgia, it’s unforgivable. Completely unforgivable. And I even said it before; he gutted two families. Two families will forever be altered for his heinous actions. That said, the man was an amazing wrestler. And the man put together a body of work that I just…I wish other wrestlers coming up could learn from.“
