Well MVP just lost all of my support for this little 'stunt'. In no way, shape, or form should Benoit ever be celebrated or praised. The man is a murderer plain and simple and a horrible human being. His 'acomplishments' in life and the Wrestling industry are nothing compared to his actions. Oh and to the comment about "Should we be mad at Rey for tributing Eddie?" that's a completely different story. Eddie Guerrero may have died due to previous drug use, but that isn't equivalent to murder in any way.

What Benoit did is pretty shitty and no one can deny that. Despite the uglyness, the man inspired/supported/helped,etc many people out there. People are bound to be offended by what MVP did and I am sure MVP agrees that what Benoit did was pretty shitty. However, I am sure he has some memories of Benoit. Sir Thomas Malory raped and assaulted some women, does that mean no one should read Le Morte d'Arthur? I am pretty sure MVP praised Benoit for his support and friendship over the years and not the tragic way he left us.

Don't get people who can just "forget" everything Benoit did in the business because he fucked up, as others have said its not like he was known to be that type of person and it was a number of things that lead to the incident. Personally i like to remember him as a great wrestler who put on some of the greatest matches/moments i've ever seen. Can't forget them just because of something that is a little more complicated than some people make it out to be.

I'm sure MVP enjoyed some tap water and crossface chicken wings after the match.

MVP has the right to do any fucking gesture he wants, nobody flipped out when JBL did the Hitler Salute in Germany!
Does this make MVP a bad person? Hell no, he was taking a memory and giving it salute and there is nothing wrong with that, murder or no murder, we all loved Chris Benoit at one point and now we are supposed to hate him? That's not rational. |

"Nobody" is inaccurate. He was fired from his Fox News job as a business analyst. Not sure if anybody commented on it in WWE though if that's what you meant.

I can understand MVP appreciating what Benoit did for him and for the business. I can also understand MVP wanting to remember Benoit with a certain fondness and not just discarding him as a psychotic killer who should be erased from history. I'm sure MVP was, and may still be, very torn about the whole tragedy, just as a lot of other people were or are, and that's understandable.
If someone you were close to, or who helped you out in life in a big way, one day went psycho and killed someone, wouldn't you still think about that person and try to remember the good times or whatever? Of course. What I find questionable, however, is MVP paying tribute to Benoit in such a public way, and especially making the throat slash gesture and pointing up toward the sky. We're all different, and some of you don't see anything wrong with what what MVP did, and that's fine. I just think maybe it wasn't appropriate and part of me finds distasteful. |

I dont see the big deal. Yeah, Benoit did what he did, we all know that. Benoit also played a big part in putting MVP on the map too. I think it could of been worse, like if he did it on WWE TV [or TNA for that matter], but it was a indy show so.

If he had done that on WWE TV, he would have suffered the same fate he's suffering now.

Alot more people would be complaining about it if the salute was televised nationally. It was at an indy show, so its not gonna be anywhere near the exposure level for it to get that far. |

Don't hate on MVP, in no way by doing what he did, did he support Chris Benoit the psychotic murderer, the last two days of his life.... The rest of his life, he was a pretty great guy apparently and one of the best wrestlers in history. |

Might I say just as well for JBL, he was just doing his job and pissing people off, not supporting the Nazi party.

Shaved Monkey gave me a big red dot with the following statement:
We can judge whomever we choose. Obviously they never heard the saying "Judge not yet ye be judged"? |

It's not really about that, I was being sarcastic. I just found it petty you felt the need to neg rep me for asking "Who are we to judge?".
You judging me, by me not judging him, has made me judge you. And I don't believe in judging people, so the fact you have made me feel the need to judge you upsets me greatly. |
