fazzle 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2007 God, I just feel nauseous right now thinking about it. I can't think of what to say. And how the fuck are they supposed to present this on Raw to the fans? They've already fucking RUINED the ten bell salute. They've RUINED the confessionals. They've RUINED the "this is really really seriously serious" voices. How will the fans react to WWE going "Yeah..that was fake, but this is real. Really." I think the only way they can do this is to have Vince make an appearance. But only in a confessional, because if he shows up in the arena, it'll take too much attention away from Benoit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2007 I'm in shock. When I found out he had to go home due to an emergency, no way did I expect this to happen. R.I.P. Chris Benoit. One of the best wrestlers ever and he will truly be missed in this community and beyond. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2007 Man, this is just sad. I've met Benoit many times, and each time he was always a stand up guy. If it was a homicide, I hope whom ever is responsible gets what is coming to him/her. RIP - Chris Benoit 1967-2007 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nate 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2007 the more i think about this, the whole thing of Benoit going home for a family emergency and now this, i hate to sound morbid i think someone broke into their house causing Benoit to rush home to find his wife and son dead then this killer shot him down in cold blood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2007 24 hours ago, I was excited about the idea that my two favorite wrestlers would finally compete in the ring together. So much changes in the span of an day. The very idea of what could have happened in Atlanta is scary to fathom. Chris Benoit is dead. It's still far to early to really let that sink in. I don't care about the McMahon angle, how anyone can really think about it right now is beyond me. I guess...RIP Chris Benoit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2007 I hope that Vince comes out and says something to the effect that in light of the tragedy that has befallen the Benoit family, to continue with his current storyline would be in poor taste, thereby ending it as gracefully as possibly while at the same time recognizing the (for lack of a better term) reality of this horrible event. This is a horrible, horrible day. This is like Eddy Guerrero's passing bad, if not worse. In Eddy's case, his troubled past made the possibility of something tragic remote but real. This is just out of the blue terrible. I am shocked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
