[BlogEntry] WWE : Not even in the storylines

As you can tell, I got a little overloaded with the Benoit news and decided that it was too depressing to keep writing about every little detail. Several times I've tried to write something to sum up the story, but nothing seems adequate.

Meanwhile, sometimes it's nice to get a little smirk or even a smile. I love to read my referrer logs from the search engines. Most, of course, are variations on "chris benoit", sometimes spelled "benwa" like the ball :). One of the more unusual ones, though, was "chris benoit killed kevin sullivan." That's…different. For starters, Kevin Sullivan is alive and well and has been interviewed a few times regarding the story :). I think perhaps they meant it the other way around, as I have seen several people trying to tie Kevin Sullivan (Nancy's ex-husband) to the murder.

Even in the storylines back in the day, I don't recall Kevin Sullivan ever actually killing anybody. I do remember him raising a couple of people from the dead, and having a stable of bizarre, satanic creatures to do his bidding (of which Nancy was one, by the way, playing "Fallen Angel" and eventually "Woman"). But as a general rule, pro wrestling storylines never got into fake death. Ironically, of course, that's exactly what Vince McMahon was doing just a couple of weeks ago, and in the span of that time two wrestlers (Benoit, but also Sensational Sherri Martel) have died.
