^^^ awesome read mr mma.

On The Real, Benoit Was A Great Technical Wrestler, Even The Best One Ever, But People Should Respect His In Ring Talent, Not His
Personal Life. I Thought The Wwe Tribute Was On Point, Respecting
Benoit's Talent And Respect To The Fans. It Saddens Me That Now What He Done, He Won't Be Inducted To The Hall Of Fame, Won't Have Initials On Any Wrestlers Armbands And Will Have His Name Shitted On.

Rip
Chris Benoit And His Fam.

Here's another good article. In it, Bruce Hart talks about how Benoit didn't seem to be doing too good mentally, in his viewpoint.

^didn't read that particular link, but i've heard his quotes... dumb... talking about how benoit wasn't well on the few occasions he saw him and couldn't believe the wwe didn't pick up on it... then goes on to say the only times he really saw benoit was at funerals...

regardless of toxicology reports, i don't think anyone has tarnished their own legacy like benoit has... whatever he did in the ring, he destroyed it all in his final act...

although the criticism that vince and the wwe has received here has been totally unfounded...

Here's an article about Lex Luger and the downfall of a bunch of wrestlers. Luger went from having millions, to currently living in the spare room of his pastor's house:

What do you'll think about the Cena/Lashley feud? Do you think Lashley will end up winning the belt?

I hate how WWE removed all the tribute footage from their shows due to the now known facts of the case; I understand people are upset and confused, but this tragedy cannot escape the fact that he was a great performer and an amazing talent to wrestling.........I know people will disagree with me, but I feel he should be recognized for what 'joy' he did give the fans.

This does not justify the fact that what he did was gruesome, and intolerable; Benoit has sealed his fate by doing this to go down in history not as one of the most dedicated and beloved superstars of all-time, but as a homicidal maniac to killed his own family. There will be no memorials or inductions to the WWE hall of fame, there will be no tribute t-shirts available to purchase, and by all means any records he set or relationship to WWE or wrestling as a whole, will be removed and forgotten.

Benoit was an inspiration to me as awkward as that sounds. Though he was not on the level as say a Muhammed Ali, or a Bruce Lee, Benoit (to me) was the same calibur though in a wrestling sense. He motivated me, because I wanted a physique like his, and his intensity made me enjoy his character and sort of replicated an attitude when I stepped into the cage/ring (MMA). Though Benoit was a wrestler and I'm an MMA practitioner, he demonstrated a lot of qualities I admired, and intensity I myself portray when I get into the ring. But that was just my take on him......

I will say this, being a Benoit fan I would purchase a tribute t-shirt to honour his memory, and I'd wear it with pride; I refuse to remember him as this maniac the press has made him out to be, I will rather remember him as one of the greatest technical wrestlers of our time, and will miss him terribly.......as far as I'm concerned, though I previously have stopped watching wrestling as a whole ever since WM 23, I always tuned in if Benoit was on....and now that THAT is no longer, I can officially say that I have ended my wrestling run.

HE PROB WILL I THINK THERE TRYING TO MAKE LASHLEY A HEEL SO CENA CAN GET OVER WITH THE FANS THERE SAYING ORTON IS GOING TO BE THE ONE WHO BEATS CENA

[Kong]

I hope its king booker, ortan has let his game go a bit.

Cena is overdue for a heel turn. A bunch of times when he comes out to the ring, about half the fans boo him, and he even acknowledges it on the mic that he gets booed. That would be a good way to turn him heel.

About time that boring Santino lost the Intercontinental belt.

raw wasn't a bad show... but again smackdown proved regardless who is on it, it is just the superior wrestling show... mvp vs hardy, finlay vs flair, palumbo (never thought i'd see him again) vs dykstra were all better than the best match on raw...

and what was with ecw?... it's an an hour long and there were three matches, one of which was a replay from the ppv...
