Benoit

So Chris Benoit, apparently, killed his son on Saturday night, hog-tied and suffocated his wife on Sunday, then kicked the chair out from under himself on Monday. WWE has taken the tack of "Benoit never existed. We will not talk about him. He is a murderer."

What a load of shit. This is a guy who gave everything to the company, his body and soul, entertaining the fans without ever seeing the sort of secondary deals less-talented but more marketable stars did. He broke his neck for the company, quite literally, and this is how they treat him?!

Benoit deserves better. He was a company guy and obviously he was very troubled at the end. He definitely experienced a total nervous breakdown, and the old Icarus line is hearkened-to: those that fly highest fall the furthest. He deserves better, he deserves a Hall of Fame spot. Just because he had a breakdown- and I'm not trying to minimize the double-murder/suicide- doesn't mean his in-ring contributions are in any way lessened.

And through it all, Jake the Snake Roberts lives on...
