I remember that day like it was yesterday. At the time, i was already a full blown smark type nikka. But for some reason that day, i stayed away from my usual wrestling sites. So i sat down at 9 to watch RAW. RAW comes on, and immediatly a pic of Benwah pops up, with his DOB - DOD under it....my jaw fukking dropped! I couldnt believe that shyt. And then as we all know, wwe did the tribute show for him, etc.
...After RAW went off the air, i decided to hop on the official wwe website, which i NEVER do. And when i logged on to the site, it said that Benwah and his family passed away from a "double m***** suicide. At the time, i wasnt clear as to what that meant. I was still kinda young. So I thought to myself, "damn, that means the killer killed Benwah and his family, and then killed himself"....and then i started to think a little more. And then i realized what REALLY happened...smh.
I remember that was a dark time for the E. Random washed up wrestlers coming outta the blue to "speak out" againts Vince and the industry(Marc mero, debra, Warrior, etc). LOL I remember when Steve Blackman defended the E on CNN, and got into a argument with that fakkit ass Marc Mero. I remember when Mero had my nikka Finlay SPEECHLESS, and all Finaly could say was "You know nothing about how our buisness is run nowadays". Out of all the wrestlers who defended the E, Jericho did the best.
Yall remember when that nikka Kennedy went on CNN and literally denied using steroids...only to fail a test a week later...the same week he was posed to cash in his MITB? smh. And of course....the infamous drug bust, when like 20 nikkas on the roster got popped for roids. Orton, Morrison, a referee, etc. That was definitly a crazy time to be a fan.
