The WWE and Chris Benoit

your right they shouldn't have dedicated the show to him if they knew that it was a double murder suice.

Hi,

I don't think they knew the truth when they aired the show. Since it happened Monday morning. This was such a shock to me to find this truth out. I keep hoping it's not the way it happened. But, anything is possible. We don't know as the viewer what goes on behind closed doors.
All we see is the entertainment, and what they want us to see. Who would ever think we suffered depression? I really liked his way of wrestling in the ring. It seemed like he gave it all he had to win over his fans and making them want to see more.
It's ashamed to see people end their own lives God gave them. It's not up to us to take our lives away, but God's place when he's ready. Sometime, people aren't always the way they appear to us. I was a fan of his, it shocked me when I first learned he died.

Sad!

He wasn't being gloried for what he did. he was being gloried for what he accomplished. No matter ho wwe want to look at it. Vhris still had family that needs top remember the good things he did and accomplished.

I agree with you, Donna. This is just a sad, sad situation all the way around. Yes, he was a great wrestler, but dang, I just don't get it. They were honoring his accomplishments but still, a murderer is a murderer, and shouldn't be glorified. But that is just my opinion.

The WWE didn't know the situation when they dedicated the show to him that Monday night. Later on CNN when the 'Truth" came out, Vince said that if he had known, then the Monday Night Raw would not have been dedicated to Chris the way it had. It was a terrible situation, and I still choose to believe there was more to it then what became public knowledge. But to say that he didn't deserve to have a show dedicated to him isn't true. If it's true and he did murder his wife and son, then he's a murderer, you're right about that. But as several other people have said, it wasn't what happened that morning that they were bringing attention, and honor to. It was Chris' long time run with the WWF/WWE and all his accomplishments there that they were honoring. His accomplishments as a wrestler, the pains, trials, and so on that he went through just to entertain us week after week. Whatever may have, or may not have happened is something that goes on away from work. You can think what you want of Chris the man, but nobody can say anything ill of the way he preformed in the ring, so yes he did deserve the dedication they gave him.
