Benoit

Change of pace.

Not many people watching wrestling anymore, and after this weeks tragic news, it could actually kill the sport all together. Chris Benoit, the Canadian Crippler, one of my favorite wrestlers of all time (with Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, Bret Hart, and Honky Tonk Man) was involved in a double murder suicide, with his wife and son; a completely awful and unspeakable tragedy. I dont even know what to say.

Equally shocking is the names on the list of Wrestlers that have died pramaturely, as I have just googled it. Unbelievably shocking. It didnt even dawn on me that most of these guys are already dead. And these are just the famous ones; including all the half names and jobbers, the list is double. If this happened so prolifically in any other sport or entertainment, the government would shut it down, or at the very least, all sponsors and business partners would exit stage left.
