Wrestling fans....

Postby Felonius_Monk » Tue Jun 26, 2007 5:23 pm

I heard this terrible news today. I don't watch it anymore but was a big wrestling fan a few years back, esp. when I was a student. Chris Benoit was always one of my favourite wrestlers to watch, a really solid technical guy who worked a lot of great matches over the years. From my (very) limited knowledge of him, I'd always had him pegged as one of the more "normal" guys in a crazy industry full of kooks. And now this....

Bizarre, and very sad. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,286737,00.html

isn't wrestling rigged and has nothing to do with any kind of true fight? it's just a show, isn't it? i was never a fan but I liked the time when there was this Undertaker and those two money "brothers" and stuff..

that is a link to fox news, it must be a lie.

This news was so earth shattering it even brought Vince McM back from the dead. I saw the beginning of RAW last night and they were talking about what a great guy Chris was. I had never heard of him before but was pretty surprised today when I learned it was a murder suicide. It is appears he killed his wife, then maybe a day later killed his son, then a day or so later hung himself.

Be glad your opponents refuse to fold; if they didn't, you just might go broke.

I find it interesting that I keep hearing positive remarks about him in the media. The guy killed his wife and son. If he didn't kill himself as well I doubt everyone would be so forgiving.

Maybe he thought the gun was fake
Poker is silly.

It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.

Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.
