Chris Nowinski Talks Randy Orton Taking Time Off and Chris Benoit
Former WWE star Chris Nowinski, of the Sports Legacy Institute, told The Busted Open radio show that Randy Orton is now advocating to take time off to heal from injuries. Nowinski ran into Orton last year and Orton was talking about his concussion experiences.
"A guy like Randy Orton just didn't buy into it, and I ran into him in March, and he started talking about his concussion experiences and he was like, 'Gosh I didn't know it was that bad.' He is an advocate for himself now to take time off and so it's interesting to see this turn."
Nowinski also talked about conversations he had with Chris Benoit days before the June 2007 tragedy.
"We incorporated Sports Legacies ten days before the Benoit tragedy. A year prior to that I sat down with Benoit when I was still working for (WWE) and he just started asking me questions. He was more interested than any other wrestler, which helps me realize that he actually knew there was something wrong with him. He asked me about how many concussions I had and I asked him and he said, 'Well, I had more concussions than I can count.' So, because he told me that and then he told me to give him a call. I remember months later... I called him and he acted like he didn't know why I was calling after he gave me his number. So, I thought maybe there was a memory thing or maybe a mood thing going on. So, when it happened, I was sure that is why it happened."
