Dazz Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Basically, he commented on the current storyline, and how it was meant to continue the demise of his "character" but, he commented on the reality of the situation. He was visably choked. you could hear it. He called Chris one of the best of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Nick Soapdish Posted June 26, 2007 Paid Members Share Posted June 26, 2007 I have been visiting this forum for years. Always reading but never posting.Until now.I haven't been this shocked since Eddy, however due to his past habits I always feared the worst. Chris Benoit to me was gonna be like Stu Hart. Around forever, or near enough. I was just going to bed and thought i'd check for news. It's not only his passing but his family too that makes this all the more tragic, no matter how it occurred. My first thoughts are of course suicide or murder, I hope it is neither, but whatever it will be is tragic.My favourite memory of Benoit was meeting him in London a few years ago. I shook his hand and I swear no body had a handshake like that man. It was like a Vice and I have shaken hands with a fair few wrestlers. I told him that as a pure wrestler he was unequaled and he looked up, looked me in the eye and said thank you.In a sport where ego's tend to rule, Benoit was an exception to that rule.Rest in peace Chris Benoit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone expected Eddie to die young, but not Benoit. I can honestly say he is the most humble pro athlete i have ever met (even more than Ally McCoist) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHERES LEROY Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 We should be thankful, at least, that we had that moment to savour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokmad Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I just RAW on there and there are no words. Honestly, I'm completely at a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanoTheGame Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 So is the 'Vince is dead' storyline gonna carry on after tonight? Or is it finished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick Soapdish Posted June 26, 2007 Paid Members Share Posted June 26, 2007 Though I don't want to jump the gun, the beginning of Raw seems to suggest that Vince isn't a heartless bastard all the time, and I think he has done the right thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
