"Double murder suicide aside," Benoit was not a good person.
I just don't know why people who have such respect in the industry would colour him so great in interviews and such if that's the case. I just don't know. Perhaps I need to be more cynical, if that's actually possible being a journo and all.

Or perhaps it's just the carnies sticking together.

I think most of the people there were shocked and there is a protect the industery mentality. But when they were talking, especially Edge and Regal, they were letting on that something was not right.

Also, it seemed like most interviews they just kinda focused on how to himself he kept, almost to the point were the could distance themselves from him.

At least that is what I picked up.

The "real wrestlers" on this board banded together to defend sodomy as a form of initiation.

Given that, I don't think it's hard to imagine carnies sticking together.

I think, mainly from guesswork, that they've escaped relatively unscathed from the event. Now, what with 'The Wrestler' doing well, the industry is again bathed in a positive light rather than the industry 'that kills families'.
How exactly does a movie about a pro wrestler who does steroids, abandoned his daughter and does drugs until he's dead "bathe the industry in a positive light"? Did you even see that movie? Mickey Rourke has been revitalized as an actor. The wrestling industry is still just the wrestling industry.

As far as Benoit goes, I dunno how to feel about it all. The man lost his shit and killed his family and himself. It's fucking tragic. But like was mentioned, he was severely ill when it happened, much like Verne Gagne recently. I don't think WWE should promote him, but painting him out of the history books is just stupid.

Nah, just kidding.

Maybe I'm a dick, but what was done, is done. There's no changing it, so let's move on. Call him a cold blooded murder who ate kitten hearts as a snack while he lit orphanages on fire, or call him one of the best technical wrestlers with a strong submission style who will be missed in our hearts (and our dvds). It doesn't matter.

i think the benoit thing was a tragedy myself. say what you will about the guy but he was obviously brain damaged to fuck from all the bumps/chair shots he'd taken and i think that had more than a little bearing on what happened. i view him like some people would lennie in "of mice and men". i don't think he's the horrible guy he's portrayed to be, even if he was no saint.
