Reports are that Benoit hung himself with 240 pounds of weights, but he was over 220, so that would have been a very slow and painful death... they talked about how since he had a day or two to contemplate what he did, and an empty bottle of wine was found next to his body, perhaps he wanted to die as painfully as possible.
Chris and Nancy had marital problems of varying degrees from the beginning...
The deaths of Johnny Grunge (tight friends) as well as of course Eddie's affected him...
He had recently complained to Alvarez about muscleheads getting pushes/called up from developmental instead of wrestlers with passion...
Benoit and Eddie were two wrestlers who never thought there matches were good enough, always underplayed them even if they were great; even Eddie would say a couple were great, but Benoit rarely if ever...
Superstar Billy Graham was on in Hour Two and talked a lot about the effects of low testosterone, how that can be 'deadly' and cause massive depression - also how all of these deaths must have been a toll (Graham also said something about a conversation he had with Dean Malenko who said Benoit was spacing out during some conversation in Japan, but I didn't catch the timing of that one)...
Eddie Guerrero, Johnny Grunge, Brian Hildebrand, (not to mention Victor Maher, Owen Hart, Badnews Allen, Brian Pillman) were all close with Benoit or came up into wrestling with him...
Graham says they do in fact prescribe HGH for adults to inject children; just like with insulin.
Changes being suggested to Vince... everything from making mental therapy available to rotating time off (can still work TV, but stay off the house show schedule), etc. Of course, a wrestler who wanted to get therapy (even if it was confidential, everything in wrestling gets out eventually) might feel it would adversly affect his push...
A caller asked Alvarez if there were any recent reports of Benoit blowing up and he said that yes, at ECW after that tag match that fell apart, he went backstage gave everyone a brow-beating, but that was his role as the veteran in the match.
