[quote name='GuilewasNK']I'll say this, for the most part the wrestler interviews on Raw tonight were a LOT more subdued than with Eddie Guerrero. Regal's comments was so blunt and to the point about Benoit the wrestler, specifically leaving everything else out.[/quote]
As my friend and I watched the show, I noted that as well.
Stephanie was very emotional during previous tribute shows, she even gets crazy choked up talking about Vince on his DVD. She's obviously priviledged to any inside information that the other wrestlers, and of course general public would not have. Now, tonight she didn't even shed a tear, I found that odd.
The whole no matches tribute show, and the lack of all the wrestlers standing out in the entry way like a normal tribute show seemed odd to me as well; however, I was able to dismiss that because of the limo crap, and Vince having to come out and break character for this tribute to be seen as legit.
Right now, this looks really, really bad. Who knows if the phone calls were accurate at all, although, for Benoit to die in his weight room after making said phone calls seems a little too coincidental. To me, it seems like that's where he'd choose to die. I'm not saying he's guilty, but the hearsay so far just suggests if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, well...
I know a lot of people have been quick to defend Benoit, and many have rather morbidly hoped that his wife committed these unfathomable sins. The reality is, that we all respected Chris Benoit so much that we can't imagine he'd betray our respect and execute such a heinous act. Something like that totally blows my mind too, and I'd imagine most of us have been left very confused.
I'll save all final judgment until the official report is given, but I have to say that right now this situation certainly doesn't appear like it will end well.
