The sad thing is, you know that idiot was proud of that and thought it the col thing to do. What's even worst, is that he was probably congratulated by other d-bags who thought just like him.

I'm pretty sure he's shouting HUSKY HARRIS as well. That edgy little rebel.

cant the guy just be a actual Benoit fan not a troll Yeah, I think that's probably the case. There are tons of Chris Benoit fans who still worship the guy, and many even believe in the idiotic conspiracy theory that he was innocent and "Kevin Sullivan really did it".

These shirts are made by some online wrestling meme group, as soon as I saw they had made this shirt I stopped following their page on Facebook. Arseholes, all of them.

TNA producers probably told the cam-e-ra man to zoom in on the WWE related awesomeness like they did with that one Highlander guy some years ago.

In all honestly I find that shirt neither funny or offensive for that matter.

I don't think so long as someone doesn't try to outright deny that it happened or whatever that there's anything necessarily wrong with still being a Benoit fan. It's not like every bit of music Phil Spector was involved with is now considered unlistenable garbage or something.
Granted, this guy was probably just trying to get attention. Though while I don't necessarily find this particular case of it all that amusing (I've seen much funnier Benoit jokes, like that NewLegacyInc video awhile back with the Mother Nancy), I don't particularly take issue with it.

But he did do it just look at all the evidence like ah well um ok................................

It's not like every bit of music Phil Spector was involved with is now considered unlistenable garbage or something. True, but you also don't see a lot of people claiming Berry Gordy was really behind Lana Clarkson's murder. There's still a vocal number of Benoit apologists out there that are the group most take umbrage with.

Same guy who did it on WWE TV a few months back? What makes it more sad is the guy has more than one of those shirts

How edgy. Nothing says rebellious like glorifying a murderer. Works for all the kids who count Che Guevara among their heroes. Yeah that's not even close to being the same thing.

The problem I have with it is it seems like glorification to me. I still appreciate when Benoit did in the wrestling business. He was never one of my favourites but I can still watch his matches back and enjoy them. But I wouldn't dream of wearing a shirt like that. In my opinion it's the equivalent of a Gary Glitter fan wearing a shirt saying "I'm a Gary Glitter Guy". It seems more the glorification of him and everything he's done rather than just someone who enjoyed his music.

No movie, no image, no diary can change that fact. Most of the younger people who wear the shirt or have a poster bearing his image do not know that or, if they do, justify it in some way. This guy is doing it for attention but those kids are just misguided.

Benoit murdered his wife and child. Without breaking the political rule all I can say is Guevara was fighting for what he believed in. You gonna tell me Benoit was doing the same?

There are a handful of Benoit gags that are actually funny, this isn't one of them. It's just an attention grab.

True, but you also don't see a lot of people claiming Berry Gordy was really behind Lana Clarkson's murder. He was, however, responsible for Rockwell. On the plus side, though...The Last Dragon. Thanks Berry Gordy.

Wonder if it's the guy passing around a petition on twitter to get Benoit into the Alumni section....
