Benoit quote appropriate?[edit]

Presumably the Benoit pull quote in the Dungeon section was put there before the murder-suicide. In light of that, is it still appropriate to give Benoit such a significant quote? Can we replace it with something from one of the Harts or Jesse Ventura? 68.146.70.177 (talk) 22:25, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To me, there is nothing wrong with Benoit's quote. Benoit's murder/suicide incident has nothing to do with the hart family, whatsoever. The neutrality of the article would be broken if such modification is made. Dynad00d (talk) 12:36, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that there is nothing wrong with Benoit's quote; it illustrates perfectly the status of the Dungeon within pro wrestling as one of, if not the very best training environments ever established. To have trained in the Dungeon marked a wrestler as having an elite level of skill, self-discipline and wherewithal. Not only were new wrestlers trained there; it became the site for a master class of established wrestlers to perfect their techniques. What has been said about it, in this instance, is more important than who said it. Bear in mind, too, that Benoit was himself one of the Dungeon's most successful and touted graduates, notwithstanding what happened after. There is a dearth of quotations about Hart House and the Dungeon themselves, primarily because they were understood within wrestling circles to have such a high status. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.222.161.209 (talk) 01:59, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bear[edit]

Should we mention that a bear lived there? Not sure about the tiger Stu wrestled. Ranze (talk) 02:10, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

removed extreme & sensationalist POV language - "Tortured his teenage son" indeed![edit]

I've replaced this sentence ...

Bret also discusses the brutality his father would inflict on him and the morbid words Stu uttered as he tortured his teenage son

with a less sensationalist line about Stu having trained Bret in submission holds. The old sentence read strongly like its author had an agenda either against Stu Hart personally or against the sport of Catch wrestling where such training methods were/are commonplace - see also the methods of Billy Riley or George Tragos. The old wording implied Bret to be a "victim" in this situation, yet he would be the LAST person to concur with any depiction of his father as being an abuser. The cited documentary Wrestling with Shadows makes crystal clear Bret's love and respect for his father and his acceptance of Stu's methods as a trainer and father. Nobody would be more offended than Bret at that previous wording. 62.190.148.115 (talk) 15:36, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
