To get back on topic with Benoit...
I can't believe this isn't a bigger story. The real story though, is how many name wrestlers have died so young. That list was disturbing. I didn't even know that guys like Crash Holly, Big Boss Man, British Bulldog, and Bam Bam Bigelow had died. I'm sure there were several other big name wrestlers on that list whose real names I wasn't familiar with. There should be a massive suit against WWE for encouraging this culture. Just look at the way they push no-talents who are built, like Brock Lesnar. Being super jacked gets you to main events unfortunately.
I stopped following WWE in about '02 or '03. I watched regularly from '00 to '01, when the competition with WCW brought out a really good product. The best era was when Stone Cold was on the shelf, and there was a big line of Rock/HHH/Angle/Benoit feuds. When the Rock left is when the quality took a huge hit. He knew how to put on a good match. The Angle/Benoit matchups were always among the best.
