Two things keep fucking with me over and over and over......
The first is that there is no excuse for what Chris Benoit did. Absolutely none. There will never be an excuse for murdering your wife and child. So how come I keep thinking of different excuses? I keep trying to tell myself stupid shit that doesn't make any sense just so I can try and convince myself that my favorite performer on one of my favorite hobbies isn't a murderer.
I've loved that dude for over a decade and I can't believe what happened. I can't totally accept it. I keep coming up with excuses and reasons to justify what he did. And the bottom line is that I feel like shit for even thinking that any of this is excusable. It's not. But I can't grasp that. I don't know if I can't because I don't want to or if it's because I just can't .....fathom any of this.
My second problem is that I followed that man and I respected that man and I loved watching that man perform.
Either he was a bastard motherfucker all along and I was duped into believing his character was the real man or he was who he was and he had one screwed up weekend that resulted in all of this shit. Was he always an asshole? Or did he just slip up once? I honestly don't know which is worse.
Is it so hard to imagine? Is it so hard to believe? Something so outrageous, something so far-fetched, well how 'bout Adam and Eve?
I really just want to know what the workrate was on Benoit's last match. I know Benoit can carry bad wrestlers to watchable matches, but I've never seen him wrestle a woman or a child before. All evidence points to two squash matches; while the squash matches versus Orlando Jordan (where he beat him in 25.5 seconds) were pretty entertaining, I think having his wife and son completely do the job was career suicide.
When Randy Orton snaps and kills his family, though, Cowboy Bob is going to be in a world of hurt after 3 hours of chinlocks.
You couldn't believe the number of things running through my head.
Because I haven't spoken on it in days, and because, really, I hate the OO thread, let me just say that since the initial shock wore off, I'm really only affected in the "what does this mean for wrestling" point of view. I have no interest in trying to play amateur psychologist for Benoit. I'm more interested in congratulating whatever newbie said "I wonder what Sabu thinks of Benoit stealing 2/3 of his gimmick."
I'm sick, yeah. But just as sick as people still completely hung up over this thing.
You know, if someone were to get banned from OO, for posting some of these jokes, I would be more than happy to make them an admin here, but everybody already is anyway.

Correction. Everybody here USED to be, until Mr. Big Shot decided that a guy who posted about 8 times a month wasn't worth having Mod Powers anymore.

I just wanted to agree wholeheartedly with that one more time. I'm considering temp banning myself so that I avoid just hitting that thread at 2 AM tonight drunk and posting "GET THE FUCK OVER IT YOU FUCKING LOSERS! HE FUCKING KILLED HIS FAMILY! HE WAS A WRESTLER! HE DIDN'T MATTER TO THE WORLD AND NOW HE'S GONE! WE'RE DONE! STOP OBSESSED OVER IT SO YOU CAN KEEP YOUR UNHEALTHY OBSESSION WITH HIM!"
Or don't do either. If you can't find an image you like at either than don't force it. Just give me something you like and which will look good on the board.
