wrestling is so full of troubled ppl, from the owner on down. McMahon's show last night pretty much lionized Benoit, and now we may find out he's a murderer.
Also, this is payback for the stupid stunt McMahon has pulled the last few weeks with his "fake" death, which in the end was trivializing Owen Hart (et al)'s deaths. |
OMG.
lol
Seriously, if people took it for the male drama it's suppose to be and not the end all of what's right and wrong with television. I swear media outlets continue to attack wrestling, when it's known as a "fake" sport and for entertainment purposes only.
Vince's (fake) death didn't trivialize Owen's... has nothing to do with one oher. It's a television program, a STORYLINE ... nothing more, you don't have to take it as anything DEEPER then that, a STORYLINE. |

I heavily disagree. Whenever wrestlers pass away, they do video tributes and have the tolling of bell. No need for McMahon to replicate this and have all his wrestlers stand there with fake sorrow when they've done this for their real brethren. Utter garbage and a disrespect to fans and family members of the deceased.
On a more serious note, the book version of that DVD is out already... in Oprah's bookclub at Chapters :p |

As much as people are trivializing Benoits death or calling him a "loser" I think a much more serious matter lies underneath all the rhetoric, including the "roid rage" bull (if it was a "rage", why would he take the time to bound his wife's hands and feet...and place Bibles beside the bodies, as has been confirmed?).
I think Benoit was simply someone who cracked. Has an agressive temperment to begin with....and simply couldn't take it anymore. The industry works them hard....physical, mentally, and on some levels psychotically. I think the industry - which essentially is the WWE - is the issue.
It has been mentioned before that the industry will be scrutinized big time. It happened in '92-'93 with the steroid distribution scandal. But McMahon hadn't taken the company public yet. He could be in for some serious trouble. WWE is completely distancing itself from Benoit (going so far as to say he will be no longer spoken about on TV)- they are in serious damage control mode right now.
And you can bet Dana White is laughing right now. This will turn alot of people off professional wresting, but not combat/physical sports. The UFC has a pristine record right now and is a viable alternative to fans. White and McMahon are on opposite ends of the spectrum right now.
But I do want to end in saying I fully respect Benoit now as much as I did before this happened. I never met him, but as a longtime fan of the foolishness called "wrestling", I have seen him help many people and put smiles on the faces of young and old. The man he was isn't the one who he became at the end. It was a shock to all...and unless he turns out to be some maniac serial killer in his private life I respect him as a man who loved to entertain. |
