Chris Benoit Tragedy: How Far Has the WWE Come?
This past Saturday morning, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher committed a murder-suicide. Belcher shot and killed his girlfriend at their home then subsequently turned the gun on himself shortly after arriving at his team's practice facility.
Unfortunately for most wrestling fans, this incident brought up the painful memory of the Chris Benoit double murder-suicide from 2007. Benoit, who suffered numerous concussions during his wrestling career, murdered his wife and son in their Atlanta home. The wrestler then proceeded to hang himself on his workout bench.
Immediately after Benoit's death, the WWE entered a state of damage control to help preserve its image from the event. So how far have they come since?
Continue after the jump for my thoughts on how the WWE handled this tragedy.

are even dumb enough to rush the ring.
So, in honor of those fans and the
due justice they had coming to them, here are some of the greatest instances
where wrestling fans get straight-up owned.
