I know people say "Vince couldn't have predicted the future," But within minutes of the limo blowing up, people were already predicting a wrestling death would end it. Why? Because deaths in pro wrestling are about as hard to predict as a full moon.
So, yeah. If you can't think of a single reason people might think it was in poor taste....

So its now poor taste to do a death angle on the off-chance that someone might die soon after? If it was the other way round and Benoit (or anyone) had died the week before the limo explosion then yes I agree it would haven been extremely poor taste.
Not only that but whilst there are comparitivley more deaths related to wrestling than the average, but theres an awful lot of people involved in wrestling these days. Everyone's going to die one day, me, you, everyone on this board, unfortunately punctuated by the recent untimely loss of Pepsiman (R.I.P).
If The Rock was found dead tomorrow, would that be classed as a wrestling related death? For many years he was the industry's top performer (or one of a few at the very top anyway).
You say that predicting deaths in wrestling isn't hard, can you point to one post here that predicted Benoit was even likely to be next?
Also its not like any of the deaths in wrestling have been limousine or bomb related (AFAIK). Its a storyline, please can the world learn how to seperate fiction from reality, death happens, its not nice, but it does.
