I'm sure they feel they have to be big to compete. The lightweight division in the WWE is not something that is really pushed but if you look at a company like TNA many of the smaller guys are able to showcase their talent.

Not to get into past cases but it has been seen before.
I guess that is kinda what I meant to say. Really, we don't even know all of the facts about this yet, IMO. He may not have even intended to kill her and then something she said or his son said might have set him off. Who really knows what happened. Either way, he did it, and it is just a terrible thing. It saddens me when this type of stuff happens...

I'm going to burn an old action figure of him. Should I use Bonfire or Blowtorch.

Microwave. Although you might need to buy a new one afterwards.

Before I get jumped on for joining in with terrible black humor... I'm saddened by this, if only because when I watched Chris Benoit a couple of years ago he was at the height of his career and was a favorite of my brother and I. My brother still tries to put me in the crippler crossface to this day, much to my annoyance and dismay, as he's 23 and should have stopped that crap by now.

What can you say, though? Whatever Benoit's motives, and whether it was a pre-meditated attack or whether he originally killed his wife in rage, he was a brilliant wrestler and a great entertainer. Clearly, he had his downfalls as a man, and apparently downfalls in his sanity, and undeniably he was a murderer... But you can't deny that when it was good, and he was performing flying headbutts from the top rope and putting people in one of the most devestating submission moves in the world... It was fun to watch.

I would suggest first hanging him, then lighting a fire under his feet so that he burns slowly... What?

Dude, if he is or was such a big idol/hero of yours you should try to just remember him as the entertainer and great technical wrestler he was and not the killer and psychopath he became.

So.... does that mean I can enjoy watching "Capricorn One", "The Cassandra Crossing", and "The Naked Gun" again?
