Well, Marvez is good, but he doesn't really count.

I believe Tajiri's son was stillborn, not sure what the cause was.

Jerry McDevitt has confirmed to the AP that Daniel Benoit had Fragile X Syndrome.

http://www.wsbtv.com/news/13567642/detail.html Also, Alex Marvez said in the Washington post that there's no confirmation of the Fragile X yet.

Video of a Booker T interview w/ KHOU (seems to work better in IE).

I thought West was the one sucking there. Not to defend Mike or anything. But West is really dog shit there, and he's talking about 90% of the time. Mike's glove comment actually makes sense, while West's are just plain rambling. I'm sure there are better example of Mike not being good. Loathsome is a bit strong. I mean... if he sucks, he sucks. I tend to think Joey is more loathsome - he's a shitty announcer, always has been, was a phoney in ECW, was a phoney on Bob.com, and now taking Vince's greenbacks is a phoney as well. He sucked back in ECW, but you could never get the ECW Rubes to face that reality. Christ... this is a guy who co-owned a business with Bob Fucking Ryder and paid a fulltime salary to Dave Scherer. How much more loathsome do you need to be? I was only referring to the TV personality. Bob.com and such don't factor in. To me, Styles is more of a terrible announcer, while Tenay just oozes contempt for his job and wrestling fans pretty blatantly.

From DVDVR, seems reasonable:

Nowinski saying that the coroner rebuffed him when he urged him to examine the brain was pretty creepy.

The way Keller wrote the "death watch" item strongly implied Angle and nobody else. Plus, there was Angle's reply to the blind item.

WWE releases detailed timeline.

It could fit, but I don't know. Anyone? John? Meanwhile, TMZ posted the divorce & restraining order documents (Adobe Acrobat/PDF)

Gary Cappetta's autobiography mentioned Nancy and Kevin having both a boy and a girl. That sticks out in particular because the boy was the subject of a story in there, as Abdullah The Butcher once fleeced him in a card game as a rib, then gave everything he'd won off of him to the boy's sister. (This was when the entire Sullivan clan was travelling with the WCW crew during a tour.) This sounds vaguely familiar, but I find it strange that it hasn't been in the news AT ALL. Was she active at all betwen leaving Florida in '86-'87ish and starting in WCW during '89? Between leaving WCW in 1990 and starting with ECW in '93? I don't remember her ever being pregnant during this period. The children were at least 4-5 come 1991, when the trip in question likely happened. The timeline doesn't match up-she met Sullivan in '84, they married in '85, and she was on TV constantly from '84-'86. It's possible they were from her first marriage or a previous relationship of his.

I'm pretty sure Daniel was her only child. "Ben Sullivan" from WCW was a worked, age inappropriate son. Also, if the Fragile X story is false (I am 50/50), that's impressively shoddy reporting.

"We want Benoit!" chants during Punk-Burke. Holy fuck wrestling fans what the fuck. EDIT: Maybe "We want tables."

Well, legally insane, yes.

I would guess Malenko.

I have no problem with this.

"Last night on Monday Night Raw, the WWE presented a special tribute show, recognizing the career of Chris Benoit. However, now some 26 hours later, the facts of this horrific tragedy are now apparent. Therefore, other than my comments, there will be no mention of Mr. Benoit tonight. On the contrary, tonight's show will be dedicated to everyone who has been affected by this terrible incident. This evening marks the first step of the healing process. Tonight, the WWE performers will do what they do better than anyone else in the world--entertain you."

In fairness, they didn't say they'd apologize, the news organizations said they would. I thought Vince was tasteful enough. Well, as tasteful as possible given that they knew.

Brian Ong, not Ernest. Liz Chase died from the surgical complications.

http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/chrisbenoittimeline Not that it would've changed anything most likely, but how the fuck did they sit on that for a day before calling the cops?

"Ross" Abrams? Fucking Keller. Wow. This is not ending anytime soon. Not to mindlessly defend WWE here, but on this board Loss himself nixed discussion based on "speculation" until the facts were in. That wasn't lifted until well after the show ended. Details were coming in throughout the day and of course WWE certainly had strong suspicions, but what if you go with something anti-Benoit and it turns out differently. WWE almost literally had minutes to react and throw together a show given the circumstances. If they changed course midway through the show, it would become a spectacle and make things worse. In hindsight, they certainly should not have done it. But it is a snap decision. The fact that they are apologizing for it is good enough for me. The company does a lot of controversial programming, but that's the nature of professional wrestling. SURELY HIS HIGH PRICED LAWYERS COULDN'T HAVE WORMED THAT INFORMATION OUT OF SHOOK SMALL TIME COPS LIKE THE REPORTER DID
