Summary

Dr. Chris Nowinski returns with powerful updates on CTE research, nearly a decade after his last appearance. The former WWE Superstar turned neuroscientist details groundbreaking discoveries from Boston University’s brain bank, shocking data from over 400 NFL players, and how CTE has become the “punch drunk” disease of modern sports. He speaks candidly about the tragic case of Chris Benoit, violence linked to CTE, and the cultural shift in wrestling and football that’s finally addressing head trauma. Chris also reveals how WWE and AEW have embraced concussion protocols, why the NFL and NHL still resist, and what it will take to prevent, and eventually cure, this deadly, preventable brain disease.
