I always enjoyed watching the Crippler work from a technical standpoint, his matches weren't just a 10 minute stunt fest, you actually got to watch technical ability. They showed his 96 Hogwild match with Malenko earlier, it was incredible. I was looking so forward to Benoit/C.M. Punk last night, those two could have easily put on one of the best matches of the year. It just seems too many of our great ones are being taken from us too early.

I remember the Owen Hart deal. That was still when I could use a "black box"(man those were the days). It sucked that they made such a talent be the Red Rooster.

Terry Taylor was the "Red Rooster"
Owen Hart was "The Blue Blazer"

RE: Chris Benoit and family found dead
This is sad news. After the Vince limo explosion storyline, I was thinking "what if a wrestler dies in reality during this whole storyline"? Sure enough my thought came true. I remember seeing Benoit wrestle against both Edge and Bobby Lashley within the last few weeks thinking how he was the only remaingin member of the "Radicalz" still left in the WWE. Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko had both left the WWE leaving only Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit as the only remaining members of the Radicalz left in the WWE. After Eddie died, it was only Benoit left. When Eddie died Benoit took it the hardest even saying in tears that went like "I know we'll see each other again sometime", we didn't know sadly it would be two years later. I had the thought that this was a storyline at first to throw us off, but searched on the net and saw this was indeed reality. There was no evidence of foul play involved such as gunshots. According to Wikipedia Benoit cancelled his upcoming match to attend to his family because he said his wife and son were bleeding from their mouths. My first thought is maybe they were killed by carbon monoxide poisoning. According to authorities they believe that maybe Benoit killed his wife and son in an arguement then committed suicide. We don't know the whole story yet.

I missed the first 13 minutes of the three-hour broadcast thining it was going to be the Mr. MacMahon tribute, then saw footage from the 2004 Royal Rumble with a "Rembering Chris Benoit" message. I know Vince MacMahon came on first talking about the incident, but who was the first other superstar after Vince (not counting the announcers) to be interviewed about remembering Benoit?

OK, I may sound harsh and any of you that want to fire away can. Suicide is the cowards way out. But if you are going to, do it do it alone, don't take others with you. This is no different then a crazed lunatic walking in somewhere and murdering 10 people then killing himself. If Benoit was fighting that many demons then he should have sent his wife and child off somewhere and done it himself. There was no use in taking 2 innocent victims with him, esp. his 7 yr old son.

Yeah, I have to agree.

This is just sickening.

Especially after the Ohio tragedy.

I was hoping it was going to be some bizarre George Reeves type murder. How pathetic is it when you have to hope that something is "just" a homicide?

My question is how are the spin Drs at WWE going to turn this positive for next weeks show. Or will they just not talk about Benoit at all.

Quote:I was hoping it was going to be some bizarre George Reeves type murder. How pathetic is it when you have to hope that something is "just" a homicide?

When I first heard about this, I just about knew what it was going to be. I just didn't know who was going to be ruled the murderer, if it be Chris as it stands now or Nancy. If true, Nancy and Daniel were dead before WWE even called him Sat about his missed house show. I just don't think I could walk around a house 2 days, knowing that my dead wife and son were in there.

Ditto, BlazerJoe!!

Details of the deaths "are going to prove a little bizarre" when released to the public, Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Autopsies were scheduled Tuesday by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

WWE.com has removed EVERYTHING related to Chris Benoit besides the main story entitled "The Tragedy Unfolds.."

All of the tributes have been removed, all of his merchandise has been removed from the WWE Shopzone.

I'd be willing to bet there's no 10 bell salute for Benoit next Monday.

The ECW and Smackdown tapings will proceed as planned this week.

I think we saw the only tributes that we're going to see last night.

I actually found a page, that says photos and video for Chris but you click on 1 and you either timeout or get a dead link.

If they wanted to toll the bell they should have done that this week. My bet is they talk as little as possible about Benoit next week or not at all.

If she seen it then, she should have run. Unless brainwashed Ive never understood a woman staying with anyone thats violent. There is to much info and places to turn to actually stay. Either that or shot Benoit then, we would have never believed what was going on behind the scenes then. We would have just thought she was some crazy woman that snatched the life of Benoit out.

Right on, this is as bizarre as it gets. He was respected by peers and fans....it just doesn't sound like the Chris Benoit we all know. At Wrestlemania in Detroit, I took some pictures of his 3 German Suplexes and the Head Butt from the top rope...it's freaky to look at them now and know that guy is gone now. I'm just coming to realize that I saw his last Wrestlemania...

In the last several years, we've seen OJ, Scott Peterson, the guy in Ohio, the lady who killed her kids in South Carolina, a similar incident in Southwest Virginia... Ugh...
From a sports standpoint and sports entertainment standpoint, the fans put up with it by wanting bigger, better, flashier spots pulled off. Wrestling fans aren't happy unless they see someone like Sabu or RVD flying off the top rope onto someone who lying on a table lit on fire with thumbtacks and barbed wire undnerneath it. It's no wonder that today's wrestlers are constantly eating pills and taking steroids to help rehab quicker. The red flags should have came WAAAY UP when The Rock and Trish Stratus basically just disassociated themselves entirely from professional wrestling. I'm not blaming us for Benoit's poor choices, but damn if I don't think some changes need to be made, and not just in wrestling, in all sports, and within the media.
Oh one more thing, if by some chance whacky FM DJ Phish or Colin Cowherd gets info from these messageboards, don't judge, not when people like Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Elvis Pressley are celebrated. They didn't kill anyone else but society sure as hell has done a great job glorifying them.
