Downhome

Here's the shirt Benoit is wearing in the above picture, if any of you care:

I think Linda did a much better job on Good Morning America than Vince did on The Today Show.

From Meltzer:

I can't even begin to imagine just how pissed off Steve Austin is right now. Anyway: http://www.wsbtv.com/news/13589422/detail.html#

I don't have a problem with the media mentioning it as a possibility. Heck, I wish something would be done to end the rampant steroid use in professional wrestling (as well as other sports, general use, etc.). What I do have a problem with is when a report starts with a crazy headline like ROID RAGE DOUBLE MURDER-SUICIDE, as if it's already a fact. Talk about it, question it all you want, but don't act like you already know it to be true. I don't think that there's a single doubt that they'll find something in Benoit, but even that doesn't mean that it was a case of roid rage or anything like that.

Yep, this isn't looking good for WWE at all right now. Even if the Wiki entry is totally fake, which it more than likely is (although it's an absolute HUGE coincidence), there's going to be more questions aimed at WWE than ever. I'm halfway expecting a raid of WWE headquarters any time now. I wonder how many papers WWE might be shredding right about now.

Here it is: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/27/us/27wre...amp;oref=slogin

They have talked to Kevin, someone interviewed him and it was posted here somewhere. He didn't really say much though.

You know what this case needs? It needs to become even more unusual. Oh, wait, here it is... http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,287194,00.html I know that the Wikipedia thing was mentioned before, but this is the first time I've seen an actual news source pick up on it like this.

FOX News just went to breaking news saying that drug agents have raided Benoit's doctor's office.

I wish they knew enough to drill him on the Chris Masters and Randy Orton incidents.

All I've been able to find is this on http://ajpw.puroresufan.com/ Mind you, I think that took place on Monday so who knows if the news was over there as to how it all went down or not. Either way I don't see anything on Strong Style Spirit or on any of the official company sites. Just got reminded about this: http://www.puroresupower.com/

Have any of you heard how Japan covering this story, reacting to it? He was quite respected there as well.

Yeah, he wont be going into the WWE HOF. But will he be removed from the WON HOF?

Remember.... Tabloids and other mags frequently miscall moves when captioning pictures of moves On FOX News just now Shepard Smith was talking about it, said what I said before, and this time they were showing multiple clips of Benoit doing the Crossface in matches. They're talking about that, Debra, the family fights, and other stuff now.

An expert is finally speaking out: http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/fay...noitmagnum.html

Pretty interesting, both the Goldberg and Meltzer bits, thanks.

From PWTorch:

I was watching FOX News when they mentioned that, and they went as far to say that he used the Crossface, without actually saying it. I'm not sure if that's because they aren't totally sure what it is, or if they don't know for sure, but they certainly implied that he used his wrestling finisher.

Just an assumption, but I doubt many would attend the funeral. Perhaps Chavo, Dean and a few others. I'd add Ron Simmons to that list. If only, to say his catchphrase and cash another check In the video posted before, Booker flat out says that he's going to the funeral so he can see his brother just one more time, give him a kiss, and hope that he will one day see him on the other side so he can finally know just what went wrong.

When watching that WMXX moment with Benoit and Eddie, just two days ago when you watched it most people saw both guys as equals, not only at that moment because they were both champions, but as human beings. Now when I see that moment, I'll just see an example of two complete and total opposites.

No, you're right, you did read it. It was said a few times. Don't know what ever happened to that detail or if it was debunked though. Those were just early details. Once the word came out about the specific bruising, they backed off of the bag theory. And in other news: http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/dvd/r...5561376-7136913

It's no more far fetched at this point than, you know, that Benoit killed his wife and child. After I head that he actually tied Nancy up and brutally killed her instead of just in a simple split second moment of passion, there's very few details that I wouldn't find believable.
