The Undertaker is the main topic for this week’s Something To Wrestle With episode. Chris Benoit was one of the issues discussed throughout the show. JBL shared his views before the Chris Benoit tribute show, which aired on the day of the murder/suicide:
โI started thinking, what if Chris did it? I went to Taker and said, โWhat if Chris did it?โ He just looked at me, and you could tell that the wheels were spinning. He said, โWe need to talk to Vince.โ I said, โYeah, we do.โ As we go to Vince, Steve was the biggest name in wrestling history at the time, and still is. He grabbed Steve and said, โSteve, come with us. We gotta talk to Vince.โโ
โSo me and Stone Cold and Taker went into Vinceโs office. It was late in the day. I said, โVince, what if Chris did it?โ Weโre about to do a tribute show for a guy who could have done a horrific thing, if thatโs a possibility.โ Vince looked at me, and Iโve never seen a man that was so indecisive in my life. Iโve never seen Vince like that. I donโt know if he had thought about it before. I canโt read his mind. I have no idea. He didnโt give anything away, as he never does. He said, โWhat do you want me to do?โ I said, โI donโt know. Iโm just telling you that thereโs a chance that something horrific has happened here, and it could have been different from what we think.โ He said, โWhat do you want me to do?โ He was not confronting me. He didnโt know what to do. He had no idea what to do. I mean, none. I donโt know if he had thought about it before, but you know, Vince is a quick mind, and he said, โJohn, I donโt know what to do.โ For Vince to say that, that maybe was the only time in his life he ever said that. I said, โI donโt know. Thatโs the downside risk.โ He said, โJohn, I think we have to go with what information we have now, and if it changes, weโll change.โ
