Yes, another Benoit related thread, but I feel it gives us an insight into how the guys are feeling. I've accidentally posted this in the discussion forum too.


Hey All.

I had planned ..ing off talking about a recent trip to an arena football game, but I would be remiss not to address the Chris Benoit situation. Everyone who knew anything about wrestling knew of his in-ring contributions. I truly don't know what I can say and not get in trouble with the WWE. Anyone who reads my blogs regularly knows how much I love wrestling, and being part of the WWE. But I think what I have to say is more important. His son, Daniel, came to many shows. We bonded. He a was a cute little boy. What Chris did was selfish and hurtful. I fear that him being a superstar in some way glamorizes the situation. That's not what suicide is. It is selfish and hurtful. As long as you have a breath to breathe, you can make change to improve your life. You can talk to family, or friends, or clergy. And if you're not comfortable with any of them, here are two phone numbers for a Suicide and Crisis Hotline. 1-800-784-2433 (1-800-SUICIDE) or 1-800-273-8255 (1-800-273-TALK). They take calls 24/7. You always have options. Maybe someday I'll be able to forgive Chris, but not today.

God Bless Us All, Lisa Marie

And Matt Hardy's Myspace blog as of this morning

Hello my friends. I hope all of you and your families are doing well. I wanted to post something based on all of the events that have taken place over the last few days. Many of you have sent me messages worrying about me and asking if I'm ok. Just so you know--I'm good, thanks for asking. I have quite a bit that I actually wanna discuss concerning the Benoit tragedy, the media's coverage of it, and what this means for the future of the business. If I am given the blessing of the powers that be in the WWE, I will write a very detailed, in-depth blog stating my unedited opinions. For now, I just wanted to address all of my friends, fans, and supporters with a summary of my feelings and thoughts.

I haven't always agreed with every decision Vince McMahon has made, but I do agree with everything he's done dealing with this situation thus far. Out of respect for the sudden death of Benoit's family and his contributions to the business, I think Vince did the right thing by canceling the scheduled Raw. When the decision was made to make Raw a Chris Benoit tribute show, the WWE was only doing what seemed respectful and right at that time. When more information was discovered, the WWE took a different and appropriate stance towards their programming. The ECW and Smackdown shows this week were dedicated to our great fans. Wrestling fans who were grieving and confused over this tragedy needed us, including me, to entertain them. I feel it is my responsibility, as well as my pleasure, to put smiles on people's faces and give them an escape from reality. I know Vince feels that way as well.

Chris Benoit was always kind, considerate, and professional when I interacted with him. Like everyone else, I was shocked when everything came out. I can't believe Chris Benoit and his wife and child are dead as I type this. As of now, all of the strange pieces of this puzzle haven't been put together yet. My thoughts and prayers go out to Benoit's other two children as well as the immediate family and friends of the deceased. More than anything, I feel terrible for little Daniel--he was as innocent as any human being could possibly be. This is a terrible and sad tragedy.

I am very disappointed with how many media outlets are lapping the entire population of professional wrestlers into this situation. There are many outstanding, wonderful people that do so many great things for the world that I work and wrestle with. It's not fair or accurate.

Tell the people you love that you love them, and never lose sight of what's really important in life. We may not ever understand why this tragedy happened, but we have to learn from it. Stay strong--life is too precious and too short. I have much more I want to say about the activities of the last few days. If it's appropriate, I definitely will. Be well my friends, I'll talk to you soon...

Victoria rocks.

Also, if an emo fuck like Matt Hardy isn't killing himself, nobody has an excuse.

[Jeritron]

Both were very good. I want to hear from basically everyone I know of in the industry and what they have to say on the issue. Hopefully we'll be able to.
I keep wondering what the guys are thinking, past and present. Foley keeps coming to mind. Jericho and Rey as well, being such good friends of him. Michaels, being very religious, and Flair and others.

Well fucking said.

And yeah Foley keeps coming to my mind for some reason on the situation to, why is that??

[Jeritron]

I dunno, probably because he's the man.

Might have to do with the fact that he's very intelligent, very professional, very sound and grounded and a great person (to our knowledge) and because he's a family man and a student and teacher of the industry. He's also written 3 books which most of us have read.

[Jeritron]

It's also obvious that he knows Chris and Nancy, probably pretty well since they've been working together for 15 years. They may not have been good friends, but they prob were friendly or at least well acquainted in some way.
Foley also knows wrestling very well, and the lifestyle very well, and most importantly we know he's not afraid to speak his mind and tell it like it is.

But yea, he keeps coming to mind.

Was Matt drunk when he posted that?

Because I was under the impression....oh yeah.

[Corkscrewed]

^ Ditto :lol: To DT's comment about Matt. But very well spoken, the both of them.

Great posts by both Hardy and Victoria

[Afterlife]

Victortria's post was not "great".

[JT]

Well I'm a big fan of Lance Storms site, but as expected he hasn't made mention of the incident or even updated his site since the tragedy was revealed.

[Impeccable]

Could either of these two get into trouble at all for their comments?
