It's a different situation. One is a de facto management policy and the other is the mindset of a madman.

Vince will always be a mark for musclemen. Vince will always treat cruiserweights as jabronis, and can anyone really see Vince tolerating any rumblings of a union and all that it would bring?

No chance.

Vince won't be around forever. And he might not have much of a choice if the government really does get involved (which might not happen, but certainly could).

As I said, nothing is certain in wrestling. Almost anything can happen.

I have doubts that the government will do much. The reasons why steroids and other drugs are used lies with the way WWE operates in terms of schedules, pushes, booking, road expenses etc....

I don't like how they read from Benot's diary about a dream he had in which his and Nancy's parents were in danger. They use it to protray him as a weird, nutty guy....but it was a dream. You don't even wanna know what goes on in my dreams.

it did seem odd the things he wrote. I don't buy into those consipracy theories about Benoit, but if I did that would sound like he's talking about some crazy figureheads of some mob or cult out to get him.

Plus I did find it kind of creepy the way everyone talked about how quiet and disciplined his kid was and how he always made him wear suits. Considering he was 7 at the time of his death, meaning they are talking about points in time where he was even younger. That and the oddly placed Bibles next to the bodies.

Benoit seemed quite weird before they knew he was a crazed murderer. They always mentioned how extremely withdrawn and quiet he was, which granted could be a sign of shyness....if he wasn't a guy who performed regularly in front of thousands of fans. Didn't they also mention how he would walk away in the middle of conversations or something? At his tribute HHH mentioned how some jabroni supposedly insulted HBK only for Benoit to essentially torture this guy in retaliation.


Yep, he sounded really un-weird.

It's still an interesting study, even stranger in that he didn't just write about it, but wrote about it to Eddie right in the wake of Eddie's death.

People deal with grief in different ways. I don't think writing letters to your dead friend, which no one else was probably meant to see, is really so unusual.

I can see that, but the issue comes when you consider (and I hate to use a cliche) that Benoit really was the "silent type". People cope in different ways, but many professionals will tell you that keeping an overbearing sadness in, not really allowing those around you to know what you're feeling, is often a pretty unintentionally self-destructive act.

It's not really the writing to Eddie that says "crazy", its more when viewed as part of the bigger picture concerning Benoit.

cool cnn has got some good people and some funny ones too

should be an interesting show

[CrazySting]

This got a 0.6 in the ratings.

I'm not sure if that's good or not for CNN.

[HMARK Center]

Probably not bad, but not great, either.

Either way, again, it was done pretty well, which was nice to see.
