54903, Oh, boy, I know I'm gonna get the crap kicked outta me in here for this. Posted by HoChiGrimm, Mon Jul-02-07 01:11 AM
I may be self-centered for saying this but I earnestly believe that this tragedy has affected me more tellingly than most others who've posted here. I've not only been literally traumatized by this whole situation but shocked out how badly I've taken Benoit's death. I personally feel betrayed by him. I'm outraged by his selfishness, brutality, and hurtful- ness. If I were somehow able to meet him I would smack him right upside his fat, effin head for being so stupid and callous towards his family, friends, and fans. Despite all of these emotions, why do I feel somehow obligated to protect whatever is left of Chris's shattered legacy? Why do I feel like telling someone off when they claim he will burn in hell?
Here's where I'm gonna catch heat...
I feel the WWE is abandoning someone who devoted almost all of his life to contributing to the success of pro wrestling. You never, EVER, betray someone who has been loyal to you. Believe me, I understand that Vince has to go into damage control mode, however, at least create a Daniel Benoit fund raiser for children with rare disorders, or a Nancy Benoit foundation for battered women. Begin talking about ways to care for the athletes who endure the rigors of constant pain and travel. But don't dare sit there, on your self-rightious throne and pretend like this man never existed -- like some leper or pariah.
