....so much to talk about, so much to discern, decipher, and digest.
Let's start with this:
The Benoit Tragedy: Let's wait for the toxicology reports, let's wait for what answers we'll be able to get. Then we'll get a better idea of what made Chris a real murderer, instead of the actor "The Canadian Crippler". Even his father is stunned.
WWE: NO MENTION of "Mr. McMahon" tonight on Smackdown! Maybe he finally, finally got the message, though in the worst way imaginable, that you do NOT use death in a wrestling storyline. Ultimately, he (the character) would have returned. Would we be looking for the holes in his hands then? Disgusting.
What's worse is two weeks ago tonight I told my wife, "What will WWE do if there REALLY IS a death in pro wrestling while they're doing this stupid storyline??"
About 20 minutes later, I read of Sherri Martel's death. That was scary. No one dreamed of what would follow.
Vince McMahon needs to do one thing, and quickly. Tell the world that despite their testing measures, et al, WWE has failed in its attempts to keep wrestlers from as much "damaging" substances/behaviors that they can do.
Apologize, don't pledge, BEGIN better surveillance immediately, and, do what this writer at my choice for wrestling news on the 'Net says, begin giving wrestlers "...predictable vacations".
