i just saw the replacement tribute for bennoit instead of raw. Really just tragic. I used to be a massive wrestling super fan when was a kid. but wrestling lost it's flare for me.

^ he has a point. steroids have been linked to suicide and tempers during cycles.
anyhow, my condolences to his family and friends and i guess the wrestling fans.. not my thing though. it's fake.

"Death of Mr. McMahon" storyline
On June 11, 2007, WWE aired a segment at the end of RAW that featured McMahon entering a limousine moments before it exploded. The show went off-air shortly after, and WWE.com reported the angle within minutes as though it were a legitimate occurrence, proclaiming that McMahon was "presumed dead."[5] Although this was the fate of the fictional "Mr. McMahon" character, no harm came to the actual person (that is, his death was part of a storyline).[6][7] The WWE has acknowledged to CNBC that he is not truly dead.[8]. The June 25th, 2007 edition of RAW was supposed to be a three-hour memorial to Mr. McMahon. However, due to the actual sudden death of Chris Benoit, the show opened with Vince McMahon appearing in the empty arena, and acknowledged that his reported death was only of his character as part of a storyline, [9] and instead held a tribute to Benoit that filled the three-hour timeslot.[10].

wwe.com confirmed it was a murder/suicide.
I haven't watched wrestling in a good three or four years, but I still keep up with the storylines once in a while. Those of you who grew up watching the guy come up in ECW and WCW (like me) are probably just as shaken up as I am. Of course, it's sports ENTERTAINMENT, but the people are still real. And it's always hard to take when you see someone you watch die.

The latest press release says that he strangled his wife then smothered his son with a pillow then hung himself in his weight room. This guy did not deserve a 3 second tribute much less a three hour one.

this is true...now that we know what has happened....but given there were no details released to anybody last night before the tribute was aired, nobody really knew.
