Very understandable, especially when a situation such as this, where this is no doubt that WWE will (unfairly) get media backlash. It's sad that he is being erased because he was such an amazing wrestler, but it is the absolute best thing to do right now. A wrote a note in my facebook about it, and a friend of mine who is a wrestling fan called it the death of technical wrestling, as Benoit was the true defintion of it. It's sad that his legend is going to be tarnished, but I guess it's understandably tarnished. Its not the death of technical wrestling. We still have William Regal, Bryan Danielson, Alex Shelley, Homicide, Dave Taylor and CM Punk out there.

CNN will have an update and more reaction to the Benoit death in a half an hour at 1 EST Ugh. I have a feeling this is going to be painful. Not that it wouldn't already be terrible enough, but I'm afraid our worst fears will be officially confirmed soon. I'd say I hope it's not the case, but all the signs are certainly pointing to it.

Hell... i say keep like this for a month or so.... And when the story lines do return... make them more Wrestling based..... not completley ROH like... but if they have "Sports Entertainment" storylines... they need to be funny or comical... Funnily when Benoit was draftd to ECW I hoped tha was they way that brand would go

I'm also thinking this. I have a strong feeling that it's going to be horrible. But, if it ends up being 'that' ... I'll still be a fan of the performer, no matter what. Maybe we can all think of it like that when reacting to this.

This is coming from Fox news...
but they just reported that the police believe Benoit strangled his wife friday or saturday, smothered his son on sunday and hung himself on monday.
That might be what will be revealed to us in an hour but Fox is reporting it now

PWI says TMZ is reporting that officials have told them what they believe happened. But again, this is seemingly their opinion until the autopsy results are known. I guess when they are, the press conference will be held.

That might be what will be revealed to us in an hour but Fox is reporting it now Sweet jesus. What was going through his mind. I just want to know, so I can understand this. So I can, I don't know, vindicate him or something. Not forgive, but understand why.
