Like when Punk, Teddy Long and Scott Armstrong "screwed" The Undertaker (leading up to the comedically great "Buckle up, Teddy!" bit), and it was made apparent that Vince had something to do with it...until it was entirely dropped. I kind of thought that they were going to do some sort of "Corporation" type angle, with Vince McMahon wanting CM Punk to be the World Champion because of his straight-edge lifestyle and being a "good role model" for the company. I believe Kane was a heel at the time, and a couple of years previous (I know this is stretching it) there was talks of having Vince and Kane connected on-screen. I thought that we'd get CM Punk, Kane and Drew McIntyre as Vince McMahon's heel charge on SmackDown!. We didn't get that, though, and a little while later, it was rumoured that Festus would be paired with CM Punk -- and then we got The Straight-Edge Society. |

Thanks for that catch, Iginfest. The man I am certainly took precedence over the fan I am as it relates to this case. This was one of the most tragic events to ever occur in not just wrestling, but in society in general. Initially, I was probably like everyone else, in disbelief. I was so saddened during the tribute special on RAW that next day. Then when the results of the investigation came out, it turned to anger and shock. I'm pretty sure that there is still a divide between those that respect Benoit for his in-ring acccomplishments, and those who loathe him for being a cold-blooded killer.
