Death Of A Dynasty

A little bit less than two years after wrestling lost Eddie Guerrero, one of it’s good guys, more bad news now needs to be written into the script. Canadian Wrestler Chris Benoit was found dead in his Fayetteville, Georgia home alongside his wife Nancy and his 7-year-old son Daniel. The cause? Double Murder-Suicide. Meaning he merked his wife and child and then ethered himself. What normally seems almost unlikely or impossible in all the best murder flicks seems to be the story they are sticking to. Now death is no laughing matter, even though the man’s signature moves were the Three Amigos, the Suicide Dive and the Tombstone Piledriver-but what shocks me the most here is how the WWE is marketing it. Given, it is the WWE, the same bastards that cleverly market any birth, marriage or death, but here they have clearly posted the words DOUBLE MURDER-SUICIDE on their website’s frontpage, alongside pictures of Benoit. As if people don’t know where to get their news… Is this really the light you want to show one of your wrestlers in, the day that he died.

Given, they want to sell t-shirts, but honestly: “a double murder-suicide from within their home”. Isn’t that a bit much, even for these bastards that market violence to kids so effectively. I haven’t watched wrestling in the longest, but god damn if these dudes didn’t raise me for a few years.
