I just figured I'd start this thread up again and see if there is any interest in it. I am really excited about Hulk Hogan making his return on Saturday Nights Main Event next week. I'm just hoping his hip and body makes it through the match with Randy Orton. Anyone else been watching?

It's just utterly disgusting .. but something just doesn't seem right though, was he on drugs? I mean it's no excuse, it's not trying to make excuses .. but I have trouble believing Benoit was always a monster, something must have just snapped inside of him .. it's well known steroid useage can lead to extremely violent outbursts - has anyone read the short book that Dianna Hart put together? The stories she tells about The British Bulldog are just frightening .. but then again at that time around 98/99 it was well documented that the Bulldog was in trouble emotionally .. there has been nothing but praise and good words about Benoit all his career ... so why this? why now?

Again I'm not trying to make excuses, but I'd imagine Benoit extremely frustrated with his work as of late .. for a man who wrestled the way he did and was as good as he did, WWE screwed him over .. he left the WCW for the very reasons that WWE has become .. but he didn't have much alternative this time .. again not making excuses but trying to come up with reasons for why he could have snapped .. and for someone with so much passion for the business to watch WWE turn into the soap opera it has become must have been frustrating..


In the end though, this has just tarnished what should have been one of the most celebrated careers of all time, he might not have been the big name that Hogan, Austin or Rock were but the pure wrestling ability he had was incredible, his match with Angle at Wrestlemania x7 where they go toe to toe in a freestyle wrestling bout where he can hold his own with a legit olympic gold medalist is amazing .. and yet this is how it all ends, double murder-suicide, way to fuck the whole thing up.

Apparently WWE has pulled all Chris Benoit merchandice from their website, even the WM XX DVD lists the title match as "Triple H defends the WWE title against Shawn Michaels" .. obviously they are sickend by this as well.
And yet the people who knew him best like Chavo, Edge and Helms weep for him like it just wasn't meant to be like Eddie or Owen .. so obviously like I mentioned before, he wasn't always a monster.

But I just read on CNN now he apparently strangled Nancy then smothered his Son and hung himself .. heh at least he had the decency to snuff himself out after that.

So yeah, just wow..
