WWE Judgement Call

Sometime yesterday Vince McMahon came back from the grave , suspended a storyline and decided to broadcast a tribute to Chris Benoit who was found dead in his Atlanta home with his wife and son. Not the wisest move in Sports Entertainment History, but given an industry where dwarves have names like "little bastard" and hide under the ring it sorta comes with the game plan.

In defense of WWE Inc., the decision to drop scheduled programming for the 3 hour tribute was made early in the day before the facts had arrived. At the time of the switch in programming it was a 3 person murder by an outside party.

In reality it was confirmed after the broadcast that Chris Benoit killed his wife and son over the weekend then himself on monday. There were a stream of strange text messages from Chris on monday that show this timeline.

WWE wrestler Chavo Guerrero had spent the night at Benoit's home in Atlanta last week and when asked said it was an average fun evening with no signs of the trouble to come.

In speculation, expect steroid rage to play a a part as this tragic story continues to unfold.
