News said it was a family emergency, but it wasn't specified.

Supposedly there was a last minute family emergency according to the Vengence thread.

Something far more important than wrestling came up for Mr.Benoit.

I hope it's nothing too serious, but it must be. I'm praying for him.

Frankly, I hope it's real.
Not trying to be a jerk if it seems like it, but I really hope it's legitimate, and if it is, that it turns out well for Chris. He's a good guy.

I'm hoping Benoit gets his rematch and K-Fed costs him it. K-Fed reveals he caused Benoit to miss the show. A tag match is booked at Summerslam... K-Fed & Nitro vs. Benoit and Punk for the ECW Championship. K-Fed pins Punk and THE WORLD REJOICES.

Several sites are reporting that the "family" emergency was the death of Biff/ Beef Wellington, Benoit's long-time tag team partner in both Stampede and New Japan. The two of them got their starts together in Stu Hart's dungeon, and traveled on the road together for quite a few years. Lance Storm has posted a column remembering Beef here - www.liveaudiowrestling.com/news_detail.php?nid=1546 |

Well, he went to go home the day before Vengeance but he forgot that he now RESIDES in Atlanta, GA...the trip from Canada took a day or two.

Whatever it is, if it's real then I hope everything is ok.

What I thought what would happen is, that Punk would win (I think we all thought that!), then on ECW as Punk was in the ring with the belt, Benoit would come out pissed, accusing Punk of making him miss the match by calling in a fake family emergency.
Punk would say he was innocent then clock Benoit with the belt, thus turning heel.
It's ridiculous I know,but hey it's wrestling!

I'm gonna give the benefit of the doubt and say it's real, and in that case.... I sincerely hope everything turns out all right in the end. And I hope the word "Emergency" is inflated to be something bigger than it actually is so he can hurry back.

I don't think that sounds like you're being a jerk at all. Basically what you're saying is that you hope that Benoit wasn't just denied an oppertunity to shine and another fake family tragedy is being used by WWE Creative. I hope that it wasn't a storyline ploy as well, but I also hope that it wasn't anything majorly serious (I'm hoping for Nancy giving birth) |

they wouldn't get rid of Benoit vs Punk unless it was an emergeancy. WWE isin't stupid. It knows most people bought the PPV to see that match.

I hope the word "Emergency" is inflated to be something bigger than it actually is. I do too, because I don't want anything bad to happen to Benoit's family, but I also don't because if Benoit Ricky Stemboated the WWE, they could Ricky Steamboat him right back. |
