    Personally, the fact that Benoit did what he did doesn't really affect me anymore when I watch his matches. He was great in the ring and to just ignore that and his contribution is a little childish

    Childish?

    I assume some of you have heard about this guy: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2681029/Arson-attack-millionaire-Christopher-Foster-was-relaxed-hours-before-killings.html

    I hear he was a great businessman. That's what I'll be remembering him for

    You're right, fancy valuing human life more than great wrestling skill, we really need to grow up :rolleyes:

    Some posters seem to be just erasing and ignoring the fact that he was a great wrestler from their mind because he was a homicidal maniac . It's possible to be both and to not be able to deal with that is a little childish in my opinion

    Where did I say I valued his wrestling skill more than his family's life? I think you need to grow up and realise that it's not as if he was a great technichal wrestler before he committed the double murder and wasn't the next day. I don't see how the murder effects his past matches, I can see how it affects people's enjoyment of them but it doesn't affect the matches themselves

    I'm with bubs on this one. Benoit didn't do anything to my family so why should i stop watching his matches? Is he a dirty piece of sh*t fpr his final actions?, yes he is, did he contribute a lot to the business?, yes he did.

    People need to get off their moral high horses when it comes to stuff like this, you didn't know the guy, what he did doesn't affect you or your family. It's one thing having an opinion on it, everyone is entitled to it. But going on a holier than thou spiel about how we should just forget everything he's contributed to the business because he went off the rails and murdered his family before suiciding. It was put to the vote, the vote was casted and the results are that he stays. Live with it.

    VR!

    Well you at least put it better than Bubs did. I dont mind people favouring one side or another, it is the lack of respect for the other side's opinion that Bubs had. There is no true right or wrong just two two schools of thought.
