Guest deanolfc88 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I was just thinking a wrestling fan who had say been travelling for a few months and had no contact with wrestling during that time and then found out about this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DJ Kris Posted August 6, 2007 Paid Members Share Posted August 6, 2007 Did anybody see the article in The Sun on Saturday? It was basically Hulk Hogan jumping on board the anti steriod campaign. http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2003560...7351002,00.html I'm not normally annoyed by the things he says, but that peice bugged me. Sure, it made a lot of sense, but you get to the end and he's still rambling on about starting his own wrestling promotion (yawn) not to mention the claim of being clean when he fought Orton. I'm not saying he wasn't, he probably was, but it was Hogan himself who said in that very article, you only have to look and you can see for yourself, followed by a description that fitted in nicely with his look in 2006. I was also suprised to see him still showing a degree of support for Vince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrAzY Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 The deaths of wrestler Chris Benoit and family were entirely accidental, a police report released today has said. The report says Chris Benoit was practicing a tag team finishing move for an upcoming wrestle when he and his family were bizarrely killed.Every wrestler needs a unique finishing move. Benoit, it turns out, had devised a particularly unique and exciting finishing move for his tag team wrestles (2 vs 2). In this move, Benoit would swing down from a rope and strangle the opposition simultaneously from behind.Benoit, however had not entirely tweaked his new finishing move, and needed some practice. He had been practicing on human-like dummies, but felt they were not giving him an accurate feeling of a wrestler's reactions to the technique. So Benoit decided to enlist the help of his wife and son to practice the move on.Benoit was not intending to perform the technique at full strength, not wanting to injure his family. But, of course, all went drastically wrong. When Benoit swung down on the rope, something went wrong. He was just wrapping his arms around his family's necks, when severe whiplash from the rope cased Benoit to die immediately. His family, however, were still trapped in his arms, and could not escape, Benoit being as strong and muscly in death as in life. They were strangled to death a few hours later.A spokesman for the surviving members of the Benoit family has said that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an article in today's Edmonton Sun Chris Benoit's father Michael confirmed that Benoit's body was quietly cremated. He wouldn't comment further, stating, ""We're trying to cope. It's a difficult time and we are trying to do our best."He said that the family intended to comment on the tragedy down the line, once they have had more time to come to terms with it.
