No they aren't. This has nothing to do with the WWE. First off, it has EVERYTHING to do with the WWE. If Benoit was on roids, the "Wellness program" will be complete looked at as complete and utter nonsense. Not to mention possible litigation if it can be proved that they knew he was on something, you know, because they're supposed to be testing people. Second, the ECW brand lost it's biggest star and centerpiece. Creative has to work around that now. Third, in hindsight, they paid a 3 hour tribute to a murderer. People are already commenting on that. WWE creatively, IS screwed. No they aren't. People who are complaining about the show are f***ing morons. News flash: the important people of this world don't care about those people. They are stupid and you can't fix stupid. Steroids do not have any connection to the brain...they do not make you kill people. Trust me. creative will be fine. The WWE will be fine. Stop making this a WWE thing cause it's not. More than ever the WWE needs your support, my support, RD's support...everyone's support. If ever there was a time for this board to grow up, today is the day.

This has quite a lot to do with WWE. Benoit was a top performer Anyone who thinks this won't cause WWE trouble is in denial Not saying this is Vince's fault but I don't think parents will want there kids to watch a show where a killer of his wife and child was I would hope parents would be smart enough to sit their kids down, explain this best they can, and move on. Ripping your kid away from WWE TV will just confuse and hurt them more.

No they aren't. This has nothing to do with the WWE. Of course it does. Benoit was a top performer and killing his wife and son will hurt the perception of WWE No it won't. And if they are blamed it will be by a few really f***ing stupid people.

WWE is screwed. They'll be even more screwed if this was steroid related. Hopefully it brings meaningful change to the wrestling business. No they aren't. This has nothing to do with the WWE.

Here's a possible scenario based on the info so far:
Benoit in the heat of passion during an ugly arguement with his wife kills her. Perhaps drugs/alcohol are involved. Then he agonizes over what will happen next. He probably already figures he'll kill himself since he doesn't want a trial, the public humiliation, can't live with the guilt, can't face his son, etc but the problem is what about his son who will eventually find out and is at home.
If he commits suicide it is his son who may discover the bodies. In addition he worries his son will live a tortured life living with the stigma and emotional pain that his famous father murdered his mother.
In this emotional state he rationalizes killing his son not out of hatred but in his mind a perverse kind of protective love.
I'm no forensic psychologist, but that's my guess. Terrible tragedy no matter how or why. We'll see how it unfolds. Good for the WWE as they continue to strip the site of all that is Benoit. His merch is gone...his profile is gone...good for them.
I hope they pull all his matches from the DVD's and never mention him again.
I also think we won't be seeing the STFU anymore. That one is just my opinion.

What's all this crap about giving the x-division title to big guys, its kind of an unwritten law that cruiserweight types and samoa joe have the belt, I don't evenn think anyone outside of them has enought athleticism to even hold the belt, what they need is a television title imo, that way people can go for the belt regardless of weight, size, or athleticism. That's the point. Either make the X belt for everyone or make a new second-tier belt. uh...Samoa Joe. Last time I checked he was a fat ass.

So I enjoyed the show...that smurfing vagina from Michigan State DDT'ing himself then crying about it was a disgrace to our whole state...stop crying pup, you lost...
Diaz wins as expected as does Penn. I feel bad for Manny but he wasn't going to win that fight...he sure as hell wasn't going to win by submission or ko...if they went the distance maybe you never know with these judges...but more likely he was going to put himself in the position to be tapped...instead he blew his shoulder out instead and having to tap anyways.
Cool show. Glad Louzon won too. I like that kid.
Oh yeah and Andy Wang is a f***ing piece of monkey crap. I don't ever want to see that quitter on my TV again. He is not a fighter, he's a skirt.

Watch lucha for five minutes. What the hell do you think? It's a human cartoon. This has basically been my response to any discussion involving Lucha for the past ten years. So imagine my surprise when I saw it and wondered for a second who the hell changed my sig.

What would you do with her? Honestly no joke? I would auction it off. If I had to go? Get drunk, get her wet and see where I can go with her from there. Then never call her again.

Gotch beating Hack 4 - 2 in the LOW Best of 7 was of course in fact not pre-determined however. I'll give you that.

Sorry bub I'm the real deal. Also the real Hackenschmidt would not have to keep Kayfabe because when we wrestled there was no kayfabe! Everything you saw was real no predetermined out come, no scripts, no writers, no gimmicks. Back then wrestling was pure not like the diluted crud you see today. Yeah we had colorful charicters but when you got into the ring it was all bussiness baby. Legit CACC is better than fake wrestling. Actually the outcomes were pre-determined thus Hack getting screwed over by Gotch 2 - 0 when it was supposed to be a draw. But the rest of your gimmick is great. I like it.

For fun today in honor of this thread I am going to run a best of 7 series using the L.O.W game Gotch vs. Hackenschmidt... Swarm and proudly present... vs. *BEST OF 7 CLASSIC*Gotch vs. Hackenschmidt FULL RESULTS:
*Gotch wins fall number one by submission via GOTCH TOE HOLD...
*Gotch makes it 2-0 forcing Hack to tap once again, this time to a perfectly executed rolling knee bar...
*Hackenschmidt makes it 2 -1 with a rare countout win after a brawl outside the ring left Gotch laying in a pile of blood...
*Hackenschmidt takes advantage of a now bleeding Gotch and evens it up 2 - 2 with the RUSSIAN BEAR HUG...
*Gotch makes it 3 - 2 via disqualification (Hack tossed Gotch into the ring post a big no no back in those days...)
*Gotch clinches the series 4 - 2 with the GOTCH TOE HOLD...
Winner: FRANK GOTCH
damn!

Hack is the man. A legend among legends. 10 pages is nothing. This thing should be stickied.
