    WTF?

    Earth to perspective-less wrestling fans ... get your head of your fantasy world and enter the real world.

    Whatever was done as an act for a wrestling show has no bearing on reality vis a vis the slaughter of this Benoit fuck's family.

    The fact that some of you are attaching some bullshit wrestling storylines and rivalries to a real crime confirms every suspicion I had about the idiotic fantasy world some hardcore wrestling fans choose to exist in.

    Kurt Angle will get in sports because of his Olympic background (and at the rate he's going, he'll get there sooner rather than later).

    I think Hogan will have more of an impact on fans. Ric Flair will have more of an impact on the wrestlers and the business itself.

    The Chavo thing you'd be wrong about, though, because Chavo and Benoit were legitimately close.

    Based on the latest AP story, I think we can safely put away the conspiracies. Though Randy Orton does call himself the Legend Killer ...

    Flair already died about 10 years ago. I don't know how they reanimate his corpse.

    Especially if he goes through with his MMA plans.

    Guess that would put an end to the theory that he murdered his wife in a rage about her murdering the son.

    And with that, I would hope anyone with a Benoit side saddle would have the decency to take it down ASAP.

    Sad, sad, sad. If in fact roids made him rage - some damn drug testing policy WWE has. Either way, as much as I appreciated what he did in the ring the three or four times I saw him live and how nice he and Eddy Guerrero were to me when I met them, this is BS. The guy has lost any respect I had after this.

    That's a good point.

    If it is indeed found that a cocktail of drugs helped cause this behavior, the WWE (and all wrestling sideshows) may be doomed.
