I'm new on here and I've noticed something. Everyone avoids saying Chris Benoit's name. Why is that? Is there some unspoken code that I'm not aware of?

No. I believe it's supposed to be a joke, because WWE has sometimes pretended he didn't exist.

Some people are uncomfortable mentioning him.
Others just love a good lame joke.
Some...have a mixture of both.

No, there's no rule against it.
Some do it because they feel mentioning him gives him even a measure of credit that they feel he no longer deserves.
Others do it as part of a joke, to help alieviate the tragedy.
We have no rules on mentioning or discussing Benoit, outside of just being respectful to your fellow posters when doing so and not breaking any other rules to do so.

It was random, and kind of funny. But personally, I feel it's run its course.

I'll take a slightly inappropriate joke about a dead guy over the horrible feeling everyone had when we first found out.

I think people just love the new Midnight Express so damn much that we can't help but sing the priases of Bodacious Bob every chance we get. Or was it Bombastic Bob? I love them so much I can't remember.
