Randy Orton comments on Benoit
My thoughts on the recent tragedy
Hi Everyone,
I am breaking my MySpace hiatus for a moment to give my opinion on the recent tragedy involving Chris Benoit and his family. Chris Benoit did so much for the wrestling business and I truly believe it wouldn't be the way it is today if it wasn't for men like him, Eddie Guerrero, Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Stone Cold, and many, many more. They paved the way for upcoming superstars like myself, John Cena, Chris Masters, and etc.
The "powers to be" are trying to control what we say and I may have to take this down eventually but I want to get my thoughts out there to be read just in case I do have to later take this blog down. There is so many people that have said they hope Benoit rots in hell and that they hate him and that what he did for the business doesn't matter anymore because of that one weekend.
My opinion on Chris has not changed not even for one second. I believe he is innocent. We are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty but in Chris' case it was ass backwards. They started pointing fingers at him before they even investigated other possibilities. I know many may not agree with me but I believe this double murder suicide theory they have come up with is a bunch of B.S. To me it seems like the easy way out. I know many may disagree with me but I know the type of man Chris was/is. He was a loving family man who not even on his worst days would do something as horrible as what they claim he did.
Chris is a part of the best memory of my WWE career. I won the world heavyweight championship from him and that memory and many others will be what I focus on when I think of Chris. Say what you want about him but he was/is a good man. Those of you who have judged him need to sit back and think am I perfect? Do I know all of what happened here? Do I have the whole story? Is Chris really capable of that? We are not worthy to judge another man. I may not ever understand why this happened but I will remain true to Chris.
To those that believe that the WWE should have not shown a 3 hour tribute to Chris Benoit you need to try and realize that the WWE did what they felt was right and what I still believe is right. We were remembering him as a wrestler and what he did for us. He was a big part of our lives for so long and I honestly believe if we hadn't of done that many people would be bashing the company for that as well. We can't please everyone so why even try?
RIP Chris Benoit, Nancy (Woman), and innocent little Daniel.
