Really, Bigshow? Why him, beside a possible wieght problem?

Also, can you imagine the nightmare if people would flock to WWE.com to snap up Benoit merchandise in his memory, and then the backlash that would ensue given that they've already admitted that they know things that the public doesn't, but have been asked to keep quiet about?

I have a couple of his action figures and an autographed photo in my house somewhere. I think they'll be moving to the county dump within the next 24 hours. Pains me to say, but no matter what he did in the ring or how well he once entertained me, no child murderer is or ever will be a legend or admirable talent or human being...

Actually nobody is saying he is being edited out of history. In fact, I for one, said explicitly that he ISN'T going to be edited out of history. His major accomplishments are going to be diminished, and they should be. Nobody is shitting on the WWE. Again, I for one, applaud the action they are taking thus far and they are handling it the best that they can.

Did you even fucking read what has been posted?

Well if you remember when he left WWE, it was due to nagging injuries, plus the weight problem is always there for him. I know he wasn't a mainstream choice for a death watch candidate, but I always saw him that way. Big oversized guys, overwieght (for their size) or not, have a tendency to have heart attacks and stuff if they're active.

^ (jeritron)We dunno that he murdered his son, the theory is his wife did and he murdered himself/his wife.

Unless they're trying to cover themselves legally somehow. Who knows.

I am pretty sure that theres no real coincidence in them using this picture on the WWE.com homepage above the headline. It's not the happy, flattering picture you would expect.

Where is this coming from?

Maybe this should read "there is a theory that his wife murdered his son".

I think WWE have handled this absolutely superbly.

Hey Bro-Champ, are you even bothering reading what other people posted. The person I responded to said "OMG LIKE WEW TOOK CHRIS BENIOT OUT OF SUMMERSLAMZ 2K4." And secondly, I'm fucking agreeing with you. They are going to recognize him for what he was. I guess having 1100 posts on an internet wrestling board makes you ballsy, though. Congrats on that.

Better than they have handled other situations, at least.

Yeah, I notice they changed it from the picture of him smiling last night, to that one this morning.

A couple of articles that have been posted in this thread.

Raw website is back to "In Memory of Vince McMahon".

ECW is going to be so weird.

This is a huge heel turn for Benoit. I hope he dont drop the ball.

Raw website is back to "In Memory of Vince McMahon".

That's fucking retarded.

Wow, settle down, there is no need for cussing.

Acutally now it has Cena and Vengeance stuff.

1) I think that person said they took him off the listings.
2) You said, that other people said, they we're going to edit him out of history. Nobody, NOBODY said that.
3) Yeh, I am ballsy enough to call someone out who is full of it.
4) 1100 posts has nothing to do with it. And if you haven't noticed, which I'm sure you haven't because you don't fucking read, 1100 posts is NOT that many vs. a lot of people around here. So don't try and play some angle that you're just a poor noob getting picked on by a spiteful vet.
5) Congrats on shutting the fuck up now.

Benoit is totally coming out on ECW tonight and we'll be like wtf.

On the topic of WWE merchandise, just an example for those who haven't searched through WWEShop.com. Judge for yourself. This is from the Wrestlemania XX DVD.

Madison Square Garden, New York City. WrestleMania returns to where it all began 20 years ago. The entire event is here. Seven championships are on the line, featuring Eddie Guerrero vs. Kurt Angle for the WWE Championship & Triple H defends his World Heavyweight Championship against Shawn Michaels. Plus, the reunited Rock 'n' Sock Connection...

I'm a spiteful vet, I'll pick on the poor noob.

Ahh, so he's being removed from the DVD sections. I though people were saying he was being taken out of results pages.

Yeah, that makes sense. Get his name off of anything you sell. I agree with that.

Speaking of being low-lifes and trying to make a profit off of a tragedy.

Two wonderful morons from the world of eBay are auctioning off multiple Chris Benoit figures (ones that were just recently released) for a Buy It Now of only $49.99!

:roll:

That picture of Benoit was used on Raw and WWE.com last night as well, he was never smiling.

Also I can't have ANY respect for Benoit now, he totally took his amazing legacy and threw it away, he deserves no memorial no tribute and no acknowledgment of his achievements.

I know I said this already, but Edge's one comment makes me feel really dismal at this point in time.

"I just don't understand things like this...and I don't think I ever will."

Or something along those lines.

Tragic circumstances or no, he needs to learn sooner than later not to fuck with Kliq.

Can we PLEASE wait until we have official source confirmation before we send the guy to burn in hell?!

There is several other ones which are up as well, from last nights Raw

Don't mess with a foul-mooded MB

No it is confirmed, im not a bitch, I won't waste my time.

He has been taken off the results pages in the shop, if you search for Chris Benoit it comes up with "Search Results for discontinued"

Remind me to have my lawyer object to you if you're even on my jury selection panel.

Wait, aren't you black? I mean no offence, but unless you got OJ's deffence team, you are guilty.

Fuck The Kliq.

not smart

I AM OJ, BITCH!

Ok, I'm actually JO, but that's besides the point.
