It's Been Three Years

No matter what he "accomplished" in wrestling, no matter how respected he was for his ability, I think that a lot of wrestling fans will always remember Benoit as a cold-blooded killer who strangled his wife and suffocated his mentally retarded son. For many fans, even the ones who consider themselves "smart," it doesn't matter how many amazing matches he put on, or how amazing that moment was at Wrestlemania XX, it will always, I repeat, ALWAYS be overshadowed by the fact that he killed his wife and son. I just don't know if people who feel that are looking objectively at the whole situation. To be honest, it's hard for me to view him as inherently and thoroughly evil.
