The thing is, for all the fucked-up things that routinely go on within the business, nothing of this magnitude has ever happened before. It's impossible to say where things go from here, because this is unlike any other bad thing wrestling in general, and WWE in particular, has ever experienced. This is 100 times the story that Eddy was, and I wouldn't be surprised if the heat gets turned on Vince and doesn't go away because of this, regardless of whether he should be blamed or not. Simmons is right in that this IS the tipping point.

Bill Simmons' comments, from his current chat:

If a worker ever brings up a union they will totally be black balled and the workers will not stand together.......that guy will be fired and there will be 20 guys who line up to take his spot. Agreed, the business is too cutthroat and the workers are too self-interested for a union to work for any length of time. Is Congress able to force a union upon them? I don't see how. Nobody can be forced to organize against their will.

Well, that's quality reporting right there.

Doesn't sound good at all. Just hope that's been badly phrased. where did you get this from? From the post that was here one minute and gone the next. What happened?

They've taken out Benoit's section in 24/7. Looks like most of his matches have been pulled altogether -- the only one I could see was one of the Elimination Chamber matches. EDIT: Some other matches are still there under the World Heavyweight Championship heading, at least, but who knows how long they'll still be there.

I know I'm probably going against popular opinion, but I think this is the right thing to do. The longer they wait to get back to business, the harder it's going to be.

I'd hate to be the guy that has to blur him out of WWE history. I wonder if he's still in the title history? crap wwe.com is down It's up for me. And yes, he's still in all the title histories and stuff, and will probably continue to be. The NFL didn't erase all mention of OJ from the record books in 1995.

I'm sure they were operating in typical WWE style and had no idea who it was going to be at this point.

I took the lineage straight from WWE.com's title history section (why is why I picked the CW match that I did). Looking strictly at the wrestling and not omitting anyone based on recent events... WWE Title: Ric Flair vs. Randy Savage (WrestleMania VIII) World Title: Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Benoit (WrestleMania XX) IC Title: Randy Savage vs. Ricky Steamboat (WrestleMania III) US Title: Tully Blanchard vs. Magnum TA, I Quit (Starrcade 85) WWE Tag Titles: Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit vs. Edge & Rey Mysterio vs. Los Guerreros (No Mercy 2002) World Tag Titles: Edge & Christian vs. Hardys vs. Dudleys, TLC (Summerslam 2000) Cruiserweight Title: Jushin Liger vs. Brian Pillman (SuperBrawl II) Women's Title: Trish Stratus vs. Lita (RAW, 12/06/04)

A quick search on Google leads to this... http://www.wrestlingclassics.com/wawli/New161-170.htm It's pretty long, so I won't C&P it here.

When I looked at WWE.com it only said it might be a double homicide suicide, it did NOT say that they knew that Benoit did it. It says it's been ruled a double homicide/suicide, but that's just sloppy reporting on their part for some unknown reason.

Yeah, that's the same. No. You're right. Double homicide is much better. I forgot. Alleged double homicide, last I checked.

Anything by Slayer.

Yeah, that's the same.

Chris Benoit wouldn't want you to do that. He took a lot of pride in his Facebook following. Funny...but seriously, a lot of people will change their tune quickly if Benoit did indeed have a hand in this. Then they're morons. I'm going to still love Benoit's wrestling and admire that aspect. He could kill a school worth of kids and I'll still like him as a wrestler. His personal life has nothing to do with him as a wrestler. Wrestling is full of scum bags. I couldn't feel more differently about it. Do you not feel any compassion or remorse for the woman and CHILD Benoit took the lives of? If Benoit did this, I think they should destroy all master copies of his in ring work, or at the very lease blur out his likeness and silence any mention of his name in all future releases with a match featuring the (most likely) murdering scumbag. Too stupid for words. Look, I just found out one of my favorite wrestlers of all-time is pretty much the prime suspect in the murder of his wife and child. I'm pissed, I'm angry, I'm depressed, I'm sad for his family. This is a very fucking hard thing to deal with, for all of us. I'm just not in denial like so many of you seem to be. It's almost laughable to try and imagine Nancy could've over-powered and murdered Chris without a gun or knife. Not jumping to conclusions does not mean people are in denial. It means they are grown ups capable of waiting until they have enough information to make an informed decision. I'm just going by what I've seen on all the news bits I've seen about the case so far, which all say Benoit did it. THEY'RE JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS TOO.

You are without a doubt a fucking moron. It's the very start of the investigation, no one knows who did what. ::shakes off annoying little flea:: *If* Benoit did this (and it's looking more and more like he did), then he's a piece of shit. Plain and simple. May he rot in the eternal flames of the hottest part of hell. People who don't want to believe it, are in denial at this point. Or they have a brain and aren't immediately giving into speculation. That rules out about 95% of this folder.

This was bizarre from the start. Just a different kind of bizarre now.

Remember (I.O.U.) by Big Dismal

They're the first ones, from what I can see.

Just read on another board that one of the Atlanta TV stations is reporting that there's evidence that Nancy and Daniel had been dead for days longer than Benoit. I fear what's going to come out of this.

If I remember the story right, he did so many that what he was pissing was the liquefied remains of his leg muscles.

I'm probably going to lose it when the post-match celebration starts.
