Anyone remember that really old school cartoon, Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling? I think it must've only ran for a couple seasons. Yeah, and Andre. The. Giant. Nuf said bout a guy who goes by his ring name all the time. Never heard of this Benoit guy. Guess I'm waaaay out of the loop. Always have been a Hulkamaniac.

Probably. The fact that he murdered his son and wife (as the report is now) makes me less empathetic to him (and more to his family). With that in mind, it doesn't change that he was a great wrestler. His wooden leg? Probably.

He had always been my favorite from the early WCW days. Benoit's mike skills were crap with his very heavy frnach canadian accent, but it just didn't matter. Technically, he was so good you just didn't care. You'd watch him headbutt someone off of a steel cage and then get up. Scripted or not, that would have left most mere mortals in the hospital. He was the best, and "sports entertainment" is much less "sports" without him. I was just sick when I heard about this, and I immediately turned the channel to hear his peers talk about him.
