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. |

I totally didn't think about the possibility of murder-suicide until I heard Regal's speech. And I thought, "Jesus, I hope he didn't kill his family. He (regal) wouldn't even talk about his character."

This is bizzare that all of a sudden the guy i've rooted for, for years is not such a great guy after all. There has to be more to this story. There has to be something that the wrestlers were aware of that built to this moment. This didnt just happen. I truely doubt this was roid rage. Judging by some of the comments last night like Regals. It seems to me that maybe Benoit wasnt a good guy and everyone around him knew it but we didnt. Who knows. This is nuts. I've actually gotten over the initial shock of my favorite wrestler being dead and now i'm really curious what the fuck happend and what led to this.

Yeh, I'm past my initial disbelief and shock. I want to know what happened. Because, at this point, it really seems that he did it. And he probably did. But why. Murder-suicides are not random acts of violence. I hope they wrap up the investigation ASAP and get the information out.

Yeh, they found the bodies about 2:30 and had to go on air at 5:00 (in my time zone, pacific)

When did this story hit the 'net anyways? I was on TPWW at 4 before I left work, and I don't have access at home atm.

Just because he was only on the same show for 2 weeks, didn't mean he didn't know him longer. He's been in the same business for years, and in the same promotion for 2 years.
CM Punk was a friend of Eddie Guerrero, so I don't see why he couldn't be a friend of Benoit. There's more to the wrestling business than just what show you're on, guys know eachother who aren't even in the same promotion. |

I don't know when this went online. This is how I found out...
Okay, I missed the very begining of Raw because me and my fiance we're watching True Lies. At 5:00 I told her to switch over to Raw (she actually watches too) and she said "We're not missing anything, you know they're just showing the limo explosion again". So we sat there for about 10 minutes and watched more of the movie. Then we flipped to Raw and caught a flash of the screen showing his picture and 1967-2007 on the screen as it went to comercial. My first thought was, "WTF? They just gonna start killing off the whole roster now? This is so stupid. I don't even want to watch this shit." We have DVR with Dish Network, and out of curiosity I went and restarted the show and then said "Holy shit..." |

Yeah, all the retrospective, remembrance, and tribute oriented stuff. All gone.
I'm starting to really feel sick. |

The actions being taken by the WWE really make it seem like he just flipped out and killed everybody without a lot of reason.

So, what now, are they going to delete him from history? That's pretty stupid. Hopefully they just want to rewrite everything involving him so that it doesn't seem like they're giving him too much praise.

I don't think they should edit him out of everything. Take down his merchandise though (T shirts and crap, maybe even dvd's exclusive to him) and I wouldn't hold any tribute shows after this. No "Benoit" armbands for everybody.

I wonder how WWE will handle this on TV. Will they not even mention him, will they bash him, or will they just say "tragedy".

BTW, after Eddie died, they said WWE was on a death watch, and everyone assumed it was for Angle. Do you think it was actaully Benoit now?
