So for the record, and I'm sorry if this has already been discussed in another thread, which wrestlers have so far commented on the situation? Personally, the one I wanted to hear from the most was Jericho, and from what everyone's saying, he was on Nancy Grace tonight. I need to check that out. The show, not Miss Grace. On tv, I'm aware of Jericho, Billy Graham, Vince, Debra, Animal, Blackman, Marc Mero, Chyna, Luger, Ken Wayne, Bret Hart and Brian "Jackass" Christopher on their myspaces, blogs and sites: Helms, Victoria, Nowinski and now RVD. Jillian also posted a message, right? I know I've seen it posted a couple of times, it was supposedly pulled from her Myspace, though. Oh, and Matt Hardy put up a message, too.

Yeah, that Brian Christopher one didn't have to happen. I'm still wondering how the hell they found him. Unless he was the one who contacted them to begin with. In which case, the last person I would want to hear from is Marcus Bagwell. But that's another discussion for another day. But what did Luger say? Nothing new. Couldn't believe he would do it, etc.

Someone posted a link (near the end of Benoit Thread #9) of an interview with Booker T, as well.

Something that just occured to me: I'm kinda surprised in all this sensationalism that they haven't gone after the other "problem children" in the WWE to show what evil, evil people work for Vince.
Such as: Great Khali - somewhat responsible for manslaughter, though not charged as such MVP - the whole 8 year prison sentence Booker - his fast food robbery thing Lawler - his (dropped) charges for statutory rape
etc., etc.

Bruce Hart has been interviewed and Kurt Angle put out a statement, as well.

Still, if they bring up Booker and MVP, they can just pull the race card.

What did Angle say?
Also, you gotta feel for Jeff Jarret. First he loses his wife and then a friend. Sucks.

bret is on again now (different show), and he's answering the same questions the same way, but they ask him on every show like it's all knew information

The hosts very rarely watch other shows of the same nature, thus when you have multiple appearances, you get the same questions.

Not really. Of course, Jeff's feelings towards the loss of his wife is much greater, but you have to realize that all of these guys that were around Benoit aren't us. We're on the outside looking in. To many, he was as much a part of their family as anyone. So it's not surprising that, regardless of the monstrous actions he committed, many in the business who knew him are essentially having to deal not only with the loss of a "brother" but have to come to terms with what that "brother" did.

I understand what you're saying and agree with all of it except...I still think it's nowhere even NEAR being compared to Jarrett's loss.

I'm not saying they are comparable. But they're both still losses nonetheless. Basically, the Benoit situation just added to what had already been a rough month for Jeff Jarrett.

But still, if I just lost my wife, the last thing I'd need to deal with is a friend of ten years going insane and killing people. They aren't the same, but he (this is all, of course, assuming Jeff and Chris were good friends) still has both of them on his mind, more so than any of us out here would.

They'll need something to keep the storm brewing soon enough.

I wondered if they were friends. I know they worked together on and off over the years, but I'm not sure how close they are.
And on top of losing a wife and fellow wrestler, I wonder how Jarrett, as co-owner of TNA, feels about the backlash this will all have on the wrestling industry as a whole. As a promoter, he also has the responsibility of putting the business in a good light.
