"Smackdown" blamed for Virginia Tech tragedy?!?
 
In an AP story on Cho Seung-Hui, the student who perpetrated the massacre at Virginia Tech University, he was described as being a loner who spent time on his computer and watching TV, noting he watched Friday night wrestling. The article said, "He (roommate Karan Grewal) said Cho usually worked alone on his computer and watched TV, including Friday night wrestling. He was always alone _ in the dining hall, watching television, working out with weights in the gym. He rarely spoke to anyone." Also, MSNBC's 'Hardball with Chris Matthews' mentioned this fact on today's show.

What do you guys (and girls) think about "Friday night wrestling" be brought into this? I think it's completely ridiculous.

Just another thing for the media to blame.

thedamndest 04-18-2007 11:28 PM

Why not blame weightlifting? His fitness probably facilitate the ease with which he was able to move around and hit hit targets.

El Fangel 04-18-2007 11:30 PM

So what will happen when the media has nothing left to blame?

NoJabbaNoBogRoll 04-18-2007 11:34 PM

I blame Teddy Long.

HOLLA HOLLA HOLLA

*gunshot*

Doesn't sound like they are blaming it there.

It seems like they are, discreetly or indirectly.

As always I must ask did his enviroment create him or did he create his enviroment? I mean to say did he get the way he is because media and being a loner or did he choose to be a loner and voilent media such as video games and wrestling were something of an outlet.

Also, lets look a facts he is 23 year old male. Wrestling top demographic is males in their late teens and early twenties. He fits well.
He worked out alone, so do lots of guys his age. They work out when they can, and lifting wieghts isn't really a team sport.
He spent time alone on his computer and watching tv. Again that is common.
Eating lunch alone sucks, but we was wierd and sounded like a tard.

Angry drunk

He wore clothing, so surely we should blame the fashion industry.

It's those Queer Eye folk.

Marc the Smark 04-19-2007 12:29 AM

The fact that the AP story made a point to mention he watched wrestling makes it seem like they're blaming it on that. If the killer were not a grown man, I'd say *maybe* watching "Friday night wrestling" had something to do with it. But he was!

Xero 04-19-2007 12:31 AM

People are always looking for scapegoats. They never want to reflect upon themselves. It's always the video game industry, wrestling, a racy comic, whatever. It's never those in charge, whether they be parents or authority figures.

I'm blaming the whole continent of Asia!

Actually I may just blame the whole Eastern Hemisphere.

Someone needs to write a letter to McMahon telling him that bad booking is causing people to die.

What Would Kevin Do? 04-19-2007 01:03 AM

Maybe he posted here and took one of the "Shoot this man in the ass" jokes too seriously.

El Fangel 04-19-2007 01:13 AM

Like that scence in Braveheart where the guy gets shot in the ass?

SammyG 04-19-2007 01:17 AM

ROFL if they actually are gonna blame smackdown.

El Fangel 04-19-2007 01:20 AM

Let me guess, was it Jimmy Wang Yang and the way he is booked that set him off?

SammyG 04-19-2007 01:24 AM

Probably Funaki's jobbing.

Funky Fly 04-19-2007 01:34 AM

It's not like he was out there delivering Celtic Crosses , Batista Bombs and Green Bay Plunges, now.

What Would Kevin Do? 04-19-2007 01:37 AM

Now I'm waiting for someone to go crazy, make homemade bombs, and dub them " Batista Bombs" before blowing up the whitehouse or something.

SammyG 04-19-2007 01:39 AM

If gang violence goes up, blame it on cryme tyme

El Fangel 04-19-2007 01:42 AM

If a gang of suburban white boys, who had everything handed to them go on a school shooting, blame Cena.

M-A-G 04-19-2007 01:56 AM

This is seriously retarded. We actually need to come up with a new word for this level of retardedness.

FourFifty 04-19-2007 02:01 AM

Unless he had worms crawling out of his mouth, or he killed an Irish midget, it's just a scape goat because god forbid we blame the guy who PULLED THE FUCKING TRIGGER!

St. Jimmy 04-19-2007 02:05 AM

He did this because of how terrible the booking was. I TOLD YOU, I TOLD YOU ALL.

Thompson Syndrome?

Rammsteinmad 04-19-2007 02:23 AM

I read a lot of comics, so if I ever kill someone feel free to blame it on the Punisher. :y:

Vastardikai 04-19-2007 03:50 AM

I'd blame Reed Richards, because I hate the character.

I also hate the fact that I have to watch ANOTHER Fantastic Four Movie because it has a character in it that's much cooler than them (Silver Surfer.)

Damn it, Where's my AK? :shifty:

darkpower 04-19-2007 03:54 AM

How much do you want to bet the PTC will try again to say that the WWE is responsible? They have hated them for years and I bet they want a good reason to say that they got "good nature" and a legal backing (remember they got caught lying about pulling of sponsorship LAST time they went after them) just to get back at them for all of that. This would be a real interesting opportunity.

LOL

When the story first broke over here in the UK, we had the TV on in the office...I turned to one of the guys and said something along the lines of "I bet it's cos he watches wrestling, plays Doom and listens to Marilyn Manson"

I was being silly, the news report is being retarded!
