Benoits Dead!

Chris Benoit, a WWE Superstar was found dead in his home in Atlanta Georgia along with his wife Nancy and son Daniel. Reports say it may be a murder/suicide.

You may not watch pro-wrestling the way I do, but please understand my grieve. I feel like I have lost a firend. I have seen him wrestle almost every week for a long time, and while I had no real opinion of his wrestling, I feel so sad for the family. It was so unexpected.

I would rather it not be Chris who did it. I like to think he is up in that wrestling rink in the sky with Eddie Guerro and Owen Hart. May the investigation prove me write.

I do not want to depress you, but I am crying when I am typing this.

 

Because I felt I knew the "murdering, suicidal prick". Do you watch pro-wrestling, lagatcy?

I wonder what will happen on Smackdown on Friday. It's so sad. I don't think anyone will want to work after what has just happened.

 

Between you and me--and eveyrone else looking at this lovely post-- I believe another Golden Age of wrestling is about to occur. We are seeing more good gimmicks, more tag teams, more clear-cut black-and-white characters. John Cena, while unpopular with alot of fans has broke into the mainstream. New wrestlers will follow.

Wrestling fascinates me as it's kind of like a fantasy world smack dab in the middle of reality. It's drama is like a soap opera's but not as slow and dragging. Eric Bischoff shas siad that wrestling is the purest form of entertainment, and I believe that. Our ancestors probably discovered it while fighting over a piece of meat. It involved into the Olympics where off-duty soldiers would compete. Eventually it came to America and became popular as a carnival attraction. The McMahons went from regional promoters to an international company in 3 genrations. Many people have prospered in wrestling where in other areas they would have been shunned. Think Andre the Giant.
The idea of travelling all over the world is exciting when you have lived in the same town for 13 years. After reading Eric Bischoff's book I would like to get involved with something in wrestling. A dream job if you will. Backstage/off-stage preferrably. Always wanted to be involved in publicity.

And that is my monologue on why I like wrestling.

Wolfie: Picture not funny to anyone.

Everyone who's name calling: You are insulting dead people. Kind of pointless, don't you think?

 

Lagatcy, in the future please include the name of the person you are quoting in order to avoid confusion. I am hoping to start more serious (hopefully not as depressing) topics. If this is the way serious discussions will degenerate into, then I feel pity for you.

As the topic starter, I request that people refrain from derogatory behavior for the rest of this month, and then the Mods should lock this up. A month is the traditional mourning period, and this family desrves it. Fans deserve to pay their respects.

If the Mods or any other members of authority have any objection, do what you will. Lagatcy and I can only agree to disagree at this point.
