"Paying homage..."

If you aren't even willing to ponder what he was going through to commit such atrocities, then what value could your convicying attitude hold? Trying to claim that a man who had a successful career, lived by the ideals of respect and lead a good life for 39.9 years was a complete and total waste of life because of a psychotic break at the home stretch is downright stupid. You choose to reject that? Then enjoy badmouthing something you don't understand like all the other children. But remember this: there is no nobility in uneducated arrogance.

Well while you are trying to make this point on all those you find "ignorant", I'm trying to shut up those who I'm considering making ignorant comments. The one's coming from those who never met him personally or knew him intimately, but watched him on television for so many years and always hearing good things about him trying to find an excuse to still like him. It's the ignorance that let people like OJ Simpson and Robert Blake go free.

You think I don't want that reason to say "Benoit was a good man, and it must have a good reason why he did what he did"? I've been watching the man on television for nearly 10 years now. My personal favorite match of all time had him in it. I've tried to ponder on what that reason could be, but in the end all I have are the facts...he killed his wife, his son, and himself.

Now then you have his fans, who were almost everyone who is a member of this forum (and 20% of the usernames on her have been in tribute to him). Some have accepted what their hero has done and has moved on from him, then you have people who are still clinging on to justify it, and try to fight for him...but show ignorance. I won't fight the people on trying to consider the reasoning behind what he did...let them. I'm just sticking with the morons who keep bringing up the Hall of Fame. "SHOULD he go in?" Does it matter...it's not the "wrestling" hall of fame. It's the "WWE" Hall of Fame. Pete Rose is in it, and I believe some other none wrestling personalities for just making brief apperences. The fact is WWE lets in who they want in, and if the terms of his death were plesent, he would have already been down on the sheet for 2008. However that's not the case, WWE is obviously seperating from him in every way, and will probably never mention him ever again in the future other than once in awhile to mention some past histories. So please, anyone who want's to mention the fucking, pointless Hall of Fame...stfu already.
