Chris Erased, Vince to Apologize
Interesting to see that Chris Benoit's profile on ECW's page has already been removed. During Eddie Guerrero's death, his profile remained on Smackdown for several months after his death. Seems like the WWE is trying to distance themselves from Chris.
WWEShop.com has removed all traces of Chris Benoit from the site. Chris Benoit's name has been removed from the Superstars section, as well as all his merchandise. The WrestleMania 23 DVD no longer lists his match against MVP in the match listing and the description for a plaque autographed by all of the winners at WrestleMania no longer lists his name. Furthermore, a search for "Benoit" or "Chris Benoit" leads to a blank page with the words: Search results for "discontinued".
WWE Chairman Vince McMahon will apologize for the three-hour USA Network tribute to pro wrestler Chris Benoit that aired Monday night, sources said.
The WWE and USA Network have received complaints about the tribute, which was hastily produced after Mr. Benoit, his wife and their son were found dead in their Georgia home Monday afternoon.

WWE: Concerned By Sensationalistic Reporting
Talking to Kids About Chris Benoit
As a pro wrestler, Chris Benoit achieved hero status among young audiences with such moves as the "Crippler Crossface" and the "Sharpshooter."
But child psychology experts worry that the real-life violence that marked the end of his life -- in which he apparently slayed his family and killed himself in his Fayetteville, Ga., home -- may have a profound effect on his youngest fans.
"I think that this is going to be very disturbing for kids," says Nadine Kaslow, chief psychologist at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta and a professor at Emory University's School of Medicine.
As with the loss of any hero, young fans may react with depression and disappointment.
"They've lost a hero in multiple ways," Kaslow says. "In one sense, you have the death of someone who was admired; that's a loss. But then you also have the loss of respect -- we hope -- for someone, because murder-suicide is such a severe form of domestic abuse." More?

Triple H could be the real hitman
By TIM BAINES
It's a whodunnit WWE style.
An exploding stretch limo up in flames. A WWE boss, Vincent Kennedy McMahon, mourned as dead. Suspects questioned.
Ah, this is destined to be a ratings grabber. Given a bit of time to line up a cast of suspects, it hit me ... geez, they wouldn't put Bret Hart into a storyline, would they?
But as Stephanie McMahon stepped out of that limo and began her solemn march to the ring Monday night on RAW, it hit me.
Triple H. The Game.
Forget Mick Foley, Bobby Lashley, John Cena, Shawn Michaels or any of the laundry list of others who had motive to "kill" McMahon. For crying out loud, it was Triple H who did the deed. He planted the bomb, then sat in the grassy knoll, snickering as his father-in-law ... er, boss ... went up in flames.
Sidelined early this year with a torn quadriceps, Triple H is hoping to participate in this year's Summer Slam. But his TV return could be soon, perhaps to be revealed as a murderer.
Innocent until proven guilty. Well, until they find a sledgehammer at the scene of the crime.
And let's just hope, with apologies to Katie Vick, that this is one corpse The Game doesn't want to sleep with.

The Fans Accuse Triple H
WWE.com is taking a look at who our fans worldwide think was behind the Mr. McMahon limousine explosion July 11 in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
Here's just a sampling from fans' submissions that suggested that former WWE Champion Triple H is the guilty party.
* Dana said: I think it was Triple H because they are known to have a bad past.
* Craig Roebuck said: Triple H, since his injury he has had a lot of time on his hands, so he killed Mr. McMahon.
* Tom said: Triple H has been screwed over and over again by Mr. McMahon, especially since DX was reunited.
* AK said: Triple H has been out of action and it's the perfect time to return. He sees a weak Mr. McMahon, he wants to regain the WWE Championship from John Cena, and he wants to take over the company. He has the most to gain and nothing to lose.
* Marvin said: Triple H has been plotting against Mr. McMahon since his injury.
* Marco Arbayza said: Triple H hates Mr. McMahon with all his soul.
* Billy said: Triple H ... There's a lot of history there and no one messes with The Game.
* Luke McShane said: Triple H is the Cerebral Assassin! He can get to you even when you cant see him. Plus he hates Mr. McMahon.
* Gabe Murgo said: Remember years ago when someone ran down Stone Cold at the Survivor Series? Remember who was behind that? (Triple H)
