RIP Benoit

[the_real_linda]

yeah i couldnt figure the tribute, but i guess they didnt know the info at the time, i just cant get my head around it, just with it being someone i watched for years and really loved as a wrestler. its so weird, and trying to explain to my sister is awkward, she thinks its a stunt like vince at the moment, guess ill have to tell her in the morning.

I wonder how they'll react to it. Will they not let him be inducted into the hall of fame? Will they just try to erase him? We'll see I guess, sick thing to do that's for sure.

It's a horrible, horrible thing, although I am of the opinion that the police are just putting out their best guess (because they have to say something), and we'll never know 100% what happened. But no matter what happened, 3 people are dead, and it's a damn shame. It'll probably be a while before I go watching any Chris Benoit matches.

A message from the Chairman
Written: June 26, 2007The following message from Vince McMahon aired at the beginning of Tuesday's ECW on Sci Fi:

Last night on Monday Night Raw, the WWE presented a special tribute show, recognizing the career of Chris Benoit. However, now some 26 hours later, the facts of this horrific tragedy are now apparent. Therefore, other than my comments, there will be no mention of Mr. Benoit tonight. On the contrary, tonight's show will be dedicated to everyone who has been affected by this terrible incident. This evening marks the first step of the healing process. Tonight, the WWE performers will do what they do better than anyone else in the world – entertain you.

Watch Vince McMahon's message.

I saw that. Vince basically revoked the tribute last night.

You can't blame WWE for running a tribute show though. They do that when any of their wrestlers die in their prime & at the time they ran it, the details of the tragedy had not been made public knowledge so they should not be looked down upon for it. Once the details surfaced, they stopped honoring him immediately (They even took the tribute off their website.) and then at the earliest possible chance (last night on tv), Vince came out and made the statement listed above.

Also, the kid was smothered while he was sleeping. I can't imagine a 7 year old kid being able to sleep if he knew his dad murdered his mom. My guess would be the kid didn't know anything was up.

Very tragic indeed.

[Fred Krueger]

I'm glad to see vince made that message, and i would imagine they will not induct Benoit into the hall of fame. It's poor taste in my opinion to do so, the murders erase whatever accomplishments he had in my eyes.

[bwind22]

Agreed. He completely destroyed the legacy he had spent the last 30-40 years building with 1 heinous act (I guess technically 2 heinous acts) of violence.
