What a prick. Wow, your life must have been so hard, buddy. You took part in a fake sport and got a lot of money for it.

I do feel bad for his wife and son, though.

This is page 7 national news, why is it on CNN.com?

I'd think less than 5 percent of the population knows the name, and less than 1 percent would ID him walking around.

i haven't watched wrestling in several years, but when i did, i remember taking a liking to benoit, mainly because i thought "this dude's intense!!"

Huge fucking roll of the eye to people that don't actually think that this is front page news. WWE is a huge business, and one of its stars just murdered two people. If a WNBA player did the same, I'd expect it to be splashed all over news sites as well. It's quite obviously huge news.

any word on the cause of death of that rabid wolverine?

Da Jesus 06-26-2007 05:35 PM

you missed something in there

"the wrestling fans they're interviewing about the "tragedy"

I was reffering to them talking about benoit and how its a tragedy he's gone.

Its a "tragedy" the wife and kids are dead not that he killed himself

Roid Rage is a split second outburst, not something this pre-meditated.

a lot of heart attacks in there.

Pretzel Logic 06-26-2007 10:52 PM

if he was roid ragin when he killed his wife then why the fuck did he kill his son a whole day later? roid rage doesn't last an entire day.

i posted the reasoning for this: he didn't want his son growing up without a mother and knowing his dad was a murderer

ahh makes sense, byron barnes

Yes, while it is a fake sport it does take quite a toll on the body. Factor in that they work more than 300 days a year and often due to the fact that they have to pay for thier own travel use thier days off to do instore appreances and such for a bit of extra cash. McMahon basically runs them into the ground and due to an outdated practice called kayfabe they're required to stay in character most of the time. In short it's not the type of business you want to be in if you want to live to a ripe old age and keep all your marbles.

He was probably just trying to scare her and then said "Ah, screw it." Next thing you know you're looking for a 2nd bible to put next to your kid, happens all the time.

i remember watching the ppv when owen fell

i thought it was a joke. i was bummed about it. he gave the crowd a thumbs up when he was being carted away.

the commentators didnt even know what to say, it cut away to some ad right when it happened. owen was a cool personality.
