I wouldn't go so far to say that Vince McMahon is a murderer, but he obviously has no problem with his guys taking steroids and pain killers as long as he can hear no evil see no evil. Look at Vince himself, he's over the age of 60 and looks like a mutant Jack Lalanne. Benoit was 40 years old, and to be that age, wrestling for that long, took a terrible toll on his body, as it does on any pro wrestler, hell, even an amatuer wrestler. On top of that, the profession itself is not conducive to long term financial security, just about all "superstars" end out their lives penniless, working school gyms just to pay the rent, in pain, addicted to pain killers and narcotics. The product that the WWE pushes is far from the prime example of how good profesional wrestling can be when done correctly, and done purely, but because WWE is the place to be just to make it, the shadows of drugs are cast pretty long. And Vince has yet to learn than pushing bulky juicecaked muscleheads as the main attraction is and always will be what destroys the performance art of professional wrestling. Just recently, that Florida steroid ring revealed that current main eventers Edge and Randy Orton were linked to steroid purchases. In order to keep your place at the top of the company, steroids and pain killers are obviously the way that these slaves to Vince go to stay in the game.
