They're talking to Bill Apter on Fox News right now and for some reason, they're showing clips of Luger and Liz.

Why do they keep showing footage of Luger?

 

One wrestler who kills their partner is the same as any other to the mainstream news...

It's apparent they think Liz IS Nancy

They were talking about steroid use and who better than one of the more popular steroid freaks of the last 20 years.

Last night when I turned on CNN, they were showing clips of Richard Lugar, the Republican Senator from Indiana. Apparently he was criticizing Bush or something. Maybe they got Lugar/Luger confused.

Well unless George "The Animal" Steele was into steroid abuse as well, I'm not sure what the hell they were doing since they showed him as well. I'm still going with my guess that they believed Liz was Nancy.

For those of you who keep debating the removal/re-appearing of Benoit on WWE.com and ShopZone, I think it's just the webmasters tweaking the site to remove all references of him. Things will probably re-appear and disappear until they get it right. I just saw an ad on ShopZone for the Vince "I Did It Shirt", then clicked on it and it was no longer valid.

 

I believe the WWE will distance themselves from Benoit as quickly as possible. I mean, there's no way they can right now, but the only mention of him is via the frontpage of WWE.com. I'm sure that's only there for the curious who are wondering what is going on. Both the RAW and ECW TV pages make references to Vengeance.

 

I think that the removal of Benoit's name from DVD descriptions is just so they don't advertise/profit from his name. I'm sure the DVD's themselves will still have everything involving him intact, but they just don't want to advertise it. They could go all they way and delete him entirely from all DVD's he was on (just removing the matches entirely), but that would be a hassle, with him being in the WM XX main event, the first MITB match, and Royal Rumbles, among others. So, I don't think they'll blur out his entire body or anything, just not advertise him as part of the purchase.

 

I'm sure future compilation DVD's of Best of's (like the Ladder/Cage/WWE Title) won't have any of his matches, either.

CNN is talking about fans going to the net and forums to vent about all of this, the Vince storyline, a list of all of the wrestlers who have died, and other stuff like that.

Canada loves their wrestlers. I wonder how the news is covering it there

AP confirms he strangled Nancy and smothered Daniel.

 

I can't believe I'm this disgusted with a man I've respected for so many years.

No, Hulk Hogan does not wrestle anymore.

It's pretty buried on TSN.ca. But http://www.citynews.ca/ has it as the top story of their sport section. Ironically enough, there's a double murder suicide in the city here as well that's top news on the site.

If anyone had a wife and children worth killing it was Hulk Hogan

Quite the same as everywhere else... just with "Canadian wrestler" off the top... Edmonton has been a bit unique... It seemed like Benoit was never a mainstream Canadian name outside of Alberta.

Did they report the autopsy results?

[Youth N Asia 0]

press conference should be any minute now

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

So what were the instruments of death? A cord and pillow?

[Vern Gagne 0]

Do they know if he strangled her from behind, or was it from the front?
