You know, I'm sure there are more twists and turns to this story yet to come.Even if he did kill them, I'm still going to remember him with a great deal of respect, as the finest wrestler of his generation, and someone who inspired millions of fans, and thousands of wrestlers. I also think this could have a really huge impact on the WWE, if it turns out he was taking a lot of steroids even under their so-called Wellness Policy then they have something to answer for.This is undoubtedly the biggest story in wrestling, possibly ever. If the US press get a whiff of potential scandal they'll run it like the OJ Simpson murder and wrestling will get hammered once again.

I think if my wife and child had just died horrendously in front of me, I'd probably take my life as well.This is just awful. I struggle to see what the WWE is going to do now in terms of storylines and the like.

Jesus fucking Christ. Just on my way to bed when I heard.I have to say, in all seriousness, I'm not sure I really want to be a wrestling fan any more. I can't think of another sport where as many stars seem to die untimely deaths. Benoit was the wrestler who made me a wrestling fan, and if he's dead then it'll be hard to carry on watching.I'm usually the first person to chip in during these threads with an inappropriate comment or sarcastic remark, but right now I just don't have the spirit.

Was Reno the storyline brother of Vito? Because his finisher was Rolling The Dice, and it looked a killer.

Them's the chappies. I remember Idol Stevens from my TEW e-fed, he was in my dev territory [/geek]. But I didn't realise it was the same guy as was in this team.They seem aight, pity they got sent down again.

Earlier this year I seem to remember seeing a new tag team on Smackdown, with a big blonde wrestler who looked a bit like Lance Cade (but wasn't). They're not listed on any official roster lists, and I've never seen them since. Am I going crazy, who were they?

Now, I'm sure you've all seen the Sharkboy impression of Stone Cold that was floating around earlier this week.

 

Well, here's some critical analysis of that from a HUGE TNA fan, and could it be our very own Mab? The resemblance is uncanny....

That really does make me weep for the future of humanity.

Now THAT'S irresponsible parenting.

He couldn't wrestle in certain states due to his parole. He did a run in on the spirit squad and he did a kiss my ass/ masterlock segment but was then gone. He was brought back after that as a trainer/ coach but never made it back to WWE TV. Rumours say he's been sacked again but then Jannetty said he hadn't. Don't know what happened then but I don't think he works for them now!

Thank you Mab, though that's just the usual rumour stuff.Does anyone actually know anything more substantial than this?

I'm looking for some background on why Marty Jannetty was finred the last (2) times from the WWE? I just watched his match with Kurt Angle on Smackdown, and it looked like they'd found themselves a new top level face, the crowd were mad for him and he was still a phenomenal wrestler. I've read that it MAY have been due to parole problem, or something, but does anyone actually know? He must have been fired more times by WWE than anyone else, and yet I still think he should be brought back.

Like that Robbie Brookside thing - total kayfabe.

Like Hogan in Raw 2 for the Xbox, he was invincible..I'm playing a lot of SvR for 360, and also Theme Park on the DS. It's still hugely addictive.

My Bowser trial time on the Ghost track (the wooden one) was world class, with the Feather jump shortcut on each lap. The feather escape from a Red shell in the bubble battle was also a personal favourite. I tend to be Mario in Battle, jack of all trades as it were.

Better still was the chance to play Mario Kart Arcade GP, which completes my aim of playing all available incarnations of Mario Kart.

What would you say is the definitive best Mario Kart then? I've been playing the DS version a lot recently and loving it, but I would have to say that the original SNES game is still the best. It had the purest courses, the tightest racing, and the original Battle arenas for bubble battle are sadly missing from the last couple of versions. It also had Feather, which is a big loss especially in multiplayer.I'd be interested to hear from another Mario Kart enthusiast.

Oooh.

Any recent news on The Dynamite Kid? I remember a rumour that he may have appeared backstage at a FWA event a few years ago, but apart from that I've not heard anything.I always hope that the WWE might induct him into the HofF - but I guess a guy in a wheelchair sends the wrong message...

Similar question, but I remember a PPV match with Benoit, from around that time, where I believe he was fighting HHH for the title. I remember Benoit apparently winning, but Mick Foley coming out and reversing the decision; HHH wins on the restart.Which PPV was this?

I think at this stage we'd all like it if you two dropped dead.
