Benoit Update

Yesterday, my favorite professional wrestler was found dead in his home.

Yesterday, I was sad.

Today, I am pissed.

It appears that Chris Benoit killed his wife and son over the weekend, and then himself on Monday. It's not confirmed yet, but it's a safe bet that that's what happened.

Chris Benoit was one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Period. This is a legacy that cannot be taken from him. One would be foolish to try.

Chris Benoit is most likely a murderer. Period. He killed his wife, kids, and self. This is a legacy that could have been avoided, but is now his. No human can take that away from him. One would be foolish to try.

If you did this, Benoit, damn you.

Last night, CM Punk and Edge cried openly on the air. Steve Austin, John Cena, Chavo Guerrero, Jr., and Dean Malenko told you how much they loved you. Those were just some of the examples...

And now, that is all meaningless. You have tarnished the legacy of everything good in professional wrestling and strengthened the legacy of everything bad in it.

Thanks for the memories, Chris Benoit. I hope that one day I can enjoy them again.
