WWE Superstar & family found dead

[jitterbug13]

I haven't watch wrestling in years but me thinks WWE is trying their best to cover this thing up.

Timeline of events


I don't think they're trying to cover it up so much as do damage control b/c they are definitely being skewered in the media. They are deflecting the attention off of themselves and onto Chris himself b/c ultimately, they didn't do anything. HE was the one who snapped, murdered his wife & son, and then killed himself.

I just wish that WWE had waited to air the special on Chris Benoit until more information was known.

I agree because knowing for sure what happened, I would not have watched.

I don't fault them. All they had was info that him and his family were dead. (Ok, so they probably had more info than the general public, but still....I don't think he was quite a suspect at that time...)

In fact, I'm glad that Mr. McMahon was man enough to cancel his own tribute for someone else's sake. If it hadn't turned out this way, could you have imagined Vince McMahon having a tribute for his own FAKE death, when one of his employees had REALLY died?

ETA: I wasn't a Benoit fan either, but it's still really tragic...

I see what you mean. I just wouldn't have watched it like I did when Guerrero died.
And absolutely, the level of tragedy remains.

I don't fault them for anything, I just wish they had waited.
