54903, Oh, boy, I know I'm gonna get the crap kicked outta me in here for this.

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.
