Yo that RAW was so fukking eerie, didn't have a computer at the time so I didn't know he had died. I know they were supposed to continue the Vince death storyline so I turned and then all of a sudden I see the graphic and then an empty arena with Vince in the ring looking red as hell from either crying or nervousness or both and being confused like "what's going on? :dahell: ".

But I actually sat there and watched the whole telecast watching some of his old matches and hearing wrestlers discuss his life and career, Edge seemed to take the news hardest though. I don't think I could find myself watching the episode again though, just too uncomfortable.

Then the next day the news broke about it being a double murder suicide and later that night Vince mentioned on ECW that there will be no further mention of Benoit. I was 10 years old at the time and just remembered being in such shocked like how could this happen.

That was the first time since 9/11 that I remembered watching CNN for like a week because I was just so tuned in to the death. Apparently a lot of people stopped watching then and as a young wrestling fan at the time, I didnt know any better but as I'm older now and look back at the WWE in 2007 I can see why.

And folks want this guy in the Hall of Fame? :bryan:

Anyways I remember almost choking on some water I was drinking when I saw Benoits face on the screen. I was a big fan of him back then so it was tough to know that he died.

It was even worse when I got the full story...he couldve just offed himself, why did he have to kill Nancy and his little son :mjcry:

His legacy is ruined forever.

I remember that night. I saw the graphic and my dad came rushing into my room asking me what the hell happened. The graphic alone started to spook me out because of how out of the blue it was :mjcry:
