I think that's safe to assume, seeing as he was the top name on the brand and Nitro ended up winning it in his place...

Meltzer:

Dave@wrestlingobserver.com

The lack of an understandable explanation to the circumstances of the death of Chris, Nancy and Daniel Benoit has left virtually the entire wrestling community reeling.

Within WWE, the obvious questions and lack of answers are no different from fans and most of his long-time friends.

Vince McMahon was the inspiring general both to the wrestlers as well as the office staff all day yesterday. He held it together and was a rock of strength for much of the talent, which because of their admiration and in many cases love for Benoit, were saddened, perplexed and having an incredibly difficult time dealing with it.

Vince made the decision to run Smackdown and ECW tapings tonight without any angles or backstage storylines. The show will consist of straight wrestling matches and like last night, the original shows were scrapped. The attempt to put together a show was difficult because the crew and creative staff were said to be both emotionally and physically wrecked after yesterday.

The belief is they will brief viewers on what happened early in the show, and then product two low key shows of nothing but matches.

Makes sense.

Also, with all the bad things of the last 24 hours, we might at least see some stellar wrestling out of it

That's a really great idea. It'll be a nice little change for once.... to see just matches.

I loved Joey Styles and Tazz's story about the car ride after the draft. They were talking about how they were marking out about getting to see Benoit compete on their show and getting to call it, and as a former wrestler and a longtime announcer they are both known to have a deep love for the business. It was just a true moment, especially when they said they had the talk during a car ride, which lovers of the business know of.

I really wouldn't mind seeing Chavo vs. MVP at the Smackdown tapings.

And then maybe Punk vs. Tommy Dreamer on ECW tonight.

Yeah but there feels like there's a huge blackhole that's been opened in ECW even tho Benoit was there for one show, he was going to be a huge part of it.

I'm gonna be completely honest, I'm definitely going to watch tonight but as a fan and a human being I know I'm gonna have a hard time enjoying wrestling or thinking about anything else pertaining to it while watching it for a long time, if not always... it's truly a much different situation than Eddie or Owen...

All Benoit merchandise has been removed from WWE.com. As his name in the WMXX match listing. Considering WWE 'has more information' but was asked not to release it by the police, seems to confirm Benoit is guilty.

Add to that Summerslam 2004. Also everything apart from the main story has now gone from the WWE homepage too.

I'm glad they're giving the crew a break from reworking the storylines. I don't know what the hell to think about this whole situation still. It looks more and more like he did it, I'll wait on final judgement until they release everything from their investigation. I hope, if he did it, it was a mental health issue and was not himself. I DON'T however, consider drug abuse (i.e. roids) to be a mental health issue that can redeem him. Drug abuse is SELF INFLICTED. It would have to be something he had no control over to substantiate anything.

some people are unreal. I'm happy to have the TPWW community for all of this. Most people dont understand or care on the level we do. Again, I stress that we didn't know the people involved or directly effected, but it hits closer to us than most.
Everyone here seems to be on the same page as me, and very respectful. You guys are legit great.

Regal got me more than anybody. I dont remember his quote exactly but he was saying something like "I'm supposed to come out here and tell you what a wonderful guy Chris was. But, I can't really do that right now. All I can see is he was a hard worker, the hardest worker in this business. I can't say anything else". Malenko seemed to focus on his in-ring life rather than his personal life too.

Yeah, I was thinking that too.

That and people weren't crying the way they did with Eddie and Owen. There everyone was openly weeping and couldn't keep things together. Here, they were visably shaken, and sadden...but it wasn't the same.

Malenko seemed to focus on his in-ring life rather than his personal life too.
I missed Regal's speech. That's pretty bad.

I noticed how much Malenko mentioned his in ring stuff. Didn't really think much into it

Chavo was a full on about how great he was though, in ring and out so fuck knows.

That's the one that made me think "There's something not quite right here.".

Yeah, it goes with the whole "WWE.com has more information but can't release it now" deal. I think they knew then what we are being told now, in tiny pieces, and that it was hard for them to seperate what they should and shouldn't say. Austin, Stephanie, and Edge didn't have that same quality, and HHH only sort of did.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but if steroids are involved, aside from the obvious destruction of his family, he has also dealt a swift blow to professional wrestling in general. In the US right now steroid investigations are running rampant through sports, and nobody has killed anybody because of it. NOW, you've got this kind of rogue-sport entertainment company that has no respect from the mass media anyway with a worker who snapped and killed his family under the influence of steriods. This could potentially destroy the WWE and professional wrestling altogether. At the very least it is going to have it severely punished and diminished, and set back a number of years.

On a related, and unimportant note, this will probably effect the creative direction. I wouldn't be suprised to see larger "roided out" wrestlers de-emphasized or depushed in favor of a more natural look. Similar to what they went to with Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels after the steroid scandal of the early 90s, before which names like Hogan, Macho Man and Ultimate Warrior were the image the product pushed.

Well, if the effect is limited to that then maybe Chris did us a favor. But I am really scared for professional wrestling right now with the state of steroids in sports in America.

I love Benoit, but i have no respect for him if he killed his wife and kid. But if he did it with the Crippler Crossface...i dunno. I'd have to think about it.

Chavo too, Chavo seemed that he knew what had happened, but was hoping beyond hope it wasn't true with how much he emphasized family, etc.

Jeritron, you may be right about that. It might be good in a way to de-emphasize the roided workers.

Apparently Cena doesn't do steroids, so unfortunately he'd still be in the ME scene.

Sorry, had to make a joke to lighten the mood a little. No disrespect intended.

I haven’t seen the show yet, but I’m a bit confused about why they had CM Punk talk about him, but didn’t try to get some words from someone like Rey

No disrespect to Punk or anything, but they had only been on the same show for 2 weeks, Rey had known him for 15 years
