I don't know what grudge you have against wrestling, Roto, but you should at least be able to recognize the reality that a lot of people knew of and respect Benoit during his long career. Whatever you consider him an athlete, a celebrity, or anything in between, he was still a well-known and well-liked person among many pro-wrestling fans, of which there are many.

Yes, wrestling is scripted. But that does not take away from the athleticism required. Those people are definitely in shape and working hard. I don't watch pro-wrestling anymore; I personally now find it almost painfully bad to watch, though I did used to watch WCW back in the day.

Many people liked Benoit during his career, and now Benoit did something horrible and then killed himself. The posters I've seen in this thread are not trying to excuse his actions, but are merely shocked at this atrocity and mourning someone who had a great career that was thrown away.
