Most people knew but I think it really did take seeing Ali in his later years and Benoit at the end of his life before CTE was confirmed in him before people realized the extent of what could occur. Also Benoits was exacerbated to the point of an 80 year olds brain like Aaron Hernandez because his finishing move was the diving head butt.
Back then everyone thought it was like looney toons: you see a bunch of birds flying around your head, think you're batman for a day or two, then it "heals" and you're fine.

Unprotected chair shots started out as a thing in Japan, but that was because the seat of the chairs were removable. The fan reaction was louder because the seat popped out on impact, but it was relatively safe for the person taking it. American wrestlers saw that and started duplicating it in the States, only they were doing it with steel chairs that had little to no give. Fans at the time didn't care because we wanted wrestling to be more real, and if people were getting hurt that just meant wrestling wasn't really fake. It was stupid then, stupid now, and both fans and pros were stupid for doing it, taking it, and enjoying it. (Myself included)

To be fair, even if we didn’t know about CTE, we knew about concussions and it doesn’t take a genius to work out that repeated shots to the head aren’t good. That said, that was just the way it was done. I used to cringe at some of the unprotected chair shots even back then. They were brutal. And these weren’t once in a while either, you’d be getting full on cranium splitters on weekly television.
Yeah back then Mick told The Rock to give it all he got but The Rock did went off-script on the amounts of chairshot that he did which Mick later regretted his decision because how uncomfortable his kids were when they watched it
That’s one thing that a lot of people don’t seem to realize, yeah the fight is a little fixed, and they’re not actually trying to kill each other, but these are some of the greatest stunt men and women in the world and they tell their stories through pain and blood, and they deserve the utmost respect. “Are you not entertained?!” 🤘🍻❤️
"I came up in a generation where thats how you swung a chair" is fair... but MAN, anytime someone hit someone w/ a chair in the ol' days we all wondered if the victim would still be around the next week. 😂

The term is couldn't care less... If you could care less that means you haven't reached the very bottom point of caring. "I couldn't care less” is the correct way to express having complete apathy toward something. When someone says, “I could care less,” they're actually saying that they do care because there are other things they care less about. You'd think Mark would know this, but seems he uneducated in the meaning of the term as every other american...
It always makes me laugh when those people accuse old wrestlers of being homophobic when Pat Patterson one of the most influential figures in WWE/F and the business was openly gay and yet he commanded respect from everyone
Yeah but it doesn't fit the narrative to remember that. The snowflakes want to say "BuT THe SHoTS TaKeR HiT KaNYoN WiTH aRe WoRSe CoS He'S GaY aND ViNCe aSKeD HiM To". Bull. Nobody has ever corroborated that story except one person playing the victim card who was also playing the victim card for a whole load of other things but that's not a trustworthy source. No other wrestler or creative has corroborated it and the fact that Pat Patterson was venerated so highly and openly gay immediately starts to present bullsh*t on this. If Taker was potatoing Kanyon because he's gay, don't you think Pat would have had issue with it too? He still had influence with Vince. But nobody says it except a bunch of wrestling marks on the Internet. Taker was always stiff with his chair shots. Always. He also had stiff punches. He was old school. You don't have to like it and I'm sure Taker wouldn't do it now himself but the truth is there's no story here except one person crying victim and people trying to tear down people to meet a narrative. Which doesn't exist. If it DID happen please another wrestler, a person who was actually there and KNOWS, please correct me.
Rock's chair shots on Foley in that I Quit match, while he was handcuffed, are just straight nasty. Especially because even a moron can see he got a little lost in it and went WAY too far.
The most vicious chair shots will always be Rock beating the life out of Mankind in the I Quit match. That was hard to watch, even live, when we knew little about head injuries and their longterm effects.
Yeah that was ugly..... Rocky really got lost in the sauce on that one. When even fucking Foley is giving you clues with his body language that you need to stop.... and you MISS them.... you're clearly fucking up.
I was born in 90 and growing up playing football or whatever we called it "getting your bell ring" we didn't know to what extent how bad repeated concussions were. You guys are looking at it from a 2024 standpoint and what we know now. But it wasn't that long ago we didn't know shit about prolonged head injuries.
I mean football was the same way, over the years rules were developed on how you can tackle, like no helmet to helmet contact, and the helmets are still being updated to this day to better protect the athletes heads. The science literally wasnt there to show the long term damage these hits could do. Wreslters basically thought, "well, this chair shot will sting for a bit, but after my bells ring for a minute, i feel fine." Cause thats how it was, there wasnt any studies yet showing how bad it fucked up your head in the long run.
Disco Inferno made a great point about this. It’s stupid to take an unprotected chair shot because in a real fight who wouldn’t put their hands up if they saw a chair coming at them ?
People saying they didn't know about CTE is bullshit. Why is it that every football team owner has kids that don't play football,not even in high school. The owners knew about it,they just didn't care about the athlete. Football team owners know what will happen if the players always get injured take pain pills. WWE knew what steroids & liquor would do to the wrestlers,add in head trauma,you got a Benoit situation every time.
That chair shot that he gave kanyon was a one of a kind shot. That looked like he wanted to kill the man . I've never seen a chair shot that violent. Kinda funny how they let him go soon after
And Undertaker for intentionally swinging way harder than normal to teach Kanyon a lesson. He bent the bars around the guys spine and severely concussed him and hurt his neck with the downward headshot. He's not telling the whole story because he doesn't want himself or the WWE to look bad.
Aight, it's great we're talking about CTE. Can we now talk about Benoit and his public apology, and a posthumous induction into the HOF. He is a legacy, tragic as it is, to what these athletes put their bodies through. It's not about celebrating the tragedy, it's about acknowledging sacrifice and taking responsibility.
No one’s going to talk about it, cause there’s nothing left to talk about. The fact is that CTE doesn’t matter in regard to the moral implications of his actions, nor is it a good excuse to allow him in the HOF. Benoit still murdered his wife and son. Such a man should not be celebrated or acknowledged in any capacity. He ruined his legacy with his actions, simple as that.
So i have treated concussions as a physical therapist. Here is the deal. People knew it would hurt. But truly believed you would be alright. After all even todsy most people get concussions and dont realize it. Most symptoms resolve within a cpuple weeks up to 6. But for the average person they will be fine but athletes wrestlers militwry etc' as soon as they stsrt getting their heartrate up fatigued the symproms come back. It can take up to 12 weeks but no one is sitting out that long, they didn't really connect the dots like that. Because they didnt realize the long term old age effexts.
Not gonna lie, I’m glad Taker spoke about that Kanyon chairshot. Loved Kanyon, but I remember after that Dark Side Of The Ring episode, I saw people go after Taker, and Cena for going on the Howard Stern show saying “he wasn’t that good”. People made the excuse “Oh, Cena hated Kanyon because he’s gay” while Cena has a gay brother
Indeed, that nonsense about him striking canyon with a chair because he was gay is totally ridiculous. Look at other matches from that era and there's no difference in the way people gave chair shots.
People who talk BS about Taker don't even know him, their opinions are invalid af... He can be intimidating, but that's bc he protected kayfabe and the business, now he is retired and we can hear everything about him it's clear as day he is genuinely a really nice and kind person. F the haters 😎
I find it weird that people act like taker was the only issue It wasn’t like he went into business for himself it was agreed on by all parties in ignorance and now agreed that it isn’t okay with the new details coming to light in the years following.
I LOT of people forget that for every chair shot Taker gave, he took the same shot.
Takers entire career is full of aggressive headshots and being whipped knees first into the steps

Loved Kanyon, but I remember after that Dark Side Of The Ring episode, I saw people go after Taker, and Cena for going on the Howard Stern show saying “he wasn’t that good”. People made the excuse “Oh, Cena hated Kanyon because he’s gay” while Cena has a gay brother
Undertaker elevating the industry on his own terms. 😂
"Couldn't care less" is the saying, Legend. If you "could care less" then u care. 😉
Weird Al?
WHO CARESSSSss
You can argue saying "couldn't care less" could imply you care so much you can't care any less because its something you really care about.
@@eazy8052 apparently you do or you wouldn't have commented. 🤣🤡💩
@@alexf9381 Care much? 🤣🤡💩
Indeed, that nonsense about him striking canyon with a chair because he was gay is totally ridiculous. Look at other matches from that era and there's no difference in the way people gave chair shots.
People who talk BS about Taker don't even know him, their opinions are invalid af... He can be intimidating, but that's bc he protected kayfabe and the business, now he is retired and we can hear everything about him it's clear as day he is genuinely a really nice and kind person. F the haters 😎
I remember Chris Nowitski reporting on CTE and everyone laughing at him and mocking him.
Taker literally took a dozen chair shots against Triple H in back to back Manias. Tho Triple H received a handful himself.
"I could care less if my opponent was gay"
You do care if your opponent is gay?
"I couldn't care less if my opponent is gay" is the correct way.
Damn those chair shots do look like they’d kill a man tho
Wasn’t called CTE but everyone knew about brain damage, they even had a name for it in boxing
Dementia Pugilistica, a.k.a. Punch Drunk or Punchy.
Im glad he cleared up the Kanyon situation. A lot of people in the business had that thought
I find it weird that people act like taker was the only issue
It wasn’t like he went into business for himself it was agreed on by all parties in ignorance and now agreed that it isn’t okay with the new details coming to light in the years following.
“And you’re a mark” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"we didnt know about CTE! we didnt think metal could damage soft human brains like that!" 😂
"I couldn't care less". The chair just doesn't discriminate
Undertaker vs Michaels 1st hell in a cell The chair shot heard from USA to India 🫣
Chris Benoit is the reason CTE became a thing
False.
Remember, all these cases started because a dude died of a heart attack during a morning run. The domino effect was strong!
"We didn't know"
*The Benoit Family has entered the chat*
Mark Calloway
The ultimate company man
The ultimate old school man
AKA a fucking mark in the truest sense of the word
I'm just happy Foley still has a smart head on his shoulders😅
Imagine being such a legend your first match is against Bruiser Brody
