Chris Benoit ... A Hero?

I know by posting this could well cause here to be bombarded and boy-slammed by hundreds of Wrestling fans.

But as the Big Show is about to start here, and hearing that fans actually want to take the opportunity to pay tribute to the late wrestler (notice I didn't say 'star') , I really cringe. I do.

I worry at the impact such a enigmatice figure like Chris has on our culture and young minds out there.

...that it is 'OK' to commit murder and suicide? That violence can solve problems and make you rich and famous?

.... that the intellectual mind can be overruled by raw emotions and brute physical prowess?

I DON'T THINK SO.

So, with all due respects, and I 'm sure Benoit has done SOME good in his life , as MADtv's Vancome Lady would have put it ,

" Hehhhhh.... You know what? Eh! Eh! ..." (as in NO NO I disagree; hey take it with a pinch of salt ok?)

Chris' life and death circumstances should not be glamourized.

He would not see the steps of Saint Petersberg that's for sure.

So, they die-hards out there, sorry ,but you've just got to live it ; the tragic revelation of the TURE Chris Benoit.

There's just no fitting tribute. There shouldn't be at all.
