Chris Benoit 1967 – 2007

I heard the news late last night that Chris Benoit and his family had been found dead at their home.
For those who don’t know, Benoit was a professional wrestler with The WWE. His career stretched over 22years and he was an all time great. He was one of my personal favourites growning up!

The worst thing is at this point in time, it seems as if it was a double murder – suicide. Obviously more details will come out in time. But Chris Benoit will be missed by all wrestling fans young and old.

RIP Chris Benoit

**EDIT** Now that the full graphic details of this tragedy have came out, I have lost nearly all my respect for Benoit the Man, whoever, I will leave the tribute here to Benoit the Wrestler, he is still one of the greatests ever!

I just feel for a man who must have been in such a depressed state that he saw no other way!

Undertaker with a Mask

I found this video of The Undertaker wearing a mask, I didn’t know he had worn a mask, but I gather it was to cover up a face injury suffered at the hands of “King Mable”

Undertaker – Royal Rumble

Once again, I was drawn into my old pass time of WWE wrestling last night.  I dont watch it half as much as I used too.  As I have mentioned before on this site, I was a massive fan of The Undertaker.  I always try to watch the royal rumble match as it was probably the biggest part of watching wrestling for me…  

I was over the moon last night early hours of this morning to see the undertaker won the royal rumble match and booked himself a WWE title shot at wrestlemania, before anyone says, I know its all scripted and it has been rumored for months that he would win, but its still cool to see.  My other childhood Favourite, HBK Shawn Michaels was the 2nd last man, and to see them battle it out was like being 6 again  lol.  The Undertaker had done everything in the WWE, apart from win a Royal Rumble, now he has    He has been around long before I watched Wrestling and is still going now, although he will have to retire one day, as he is in his 40+ now, and real or not wrestling is still very physical, the guy is one hell of an athlete.  Keep going undertaker!!!

Have a look on Phenom Forever for a more detailed look at the match and the reaction to the result.

Scaaaarrrryyy

In the spirit of Halloween (bit early I know)  I came across this video, this put the fear of god in me when I was about 6 years old.  Not so scary now, more funny that anything else. 

Undertaker vs Yokozuna - Royal Rumble 1994 – Casket Match

That is The Undertaker “rising to heaven”, he had just been locked in a casket, by about 30 other wrestlers.  The Undertaker was my favourite wrestler when I was little.  He’s still going now and I sometimes have a look at his exploits…

WWF wrestling, once my most favourite thing in the world
