First off, I don't know how in the world you can have ANY respect for a man that murdered his wife & kid. I don't care if he was a great wrestler or not, nothing will EVER hide that fact. Take your damn sig down because I don't want to see that maniac. He's a 
ing murderer and a monster for what he did.Maybe you can respect someone after doing that, but I sure as hell can't and won't.
We got the point....
It doesn't change the fact that that was an amazing moment in WWE history. I never thought the two of them would ever be a World Champ, and I'm glad it happened for them.
My top 5:
1. End of WMXX
2. Edge beats Cena @ NYR for belt
3. Trish turns on Jericho @ WMXX
4. Edge spear on Foley @ WM22
5. Chyna reunites with HHH at WMXV and then joins Corporation with him

Yep I totally agree. Nobody is innocent to what he did, and I really can't continue to argue. Not for lack of defense but rather point. I know what happened, but I never knew the man personally. I knew what he did in the ring. I don't judge Sick Nick Mondo why would I judge Benoit.
He's no longer with us, he didn't get away with murder, in most people's minds he took the cowards way out.
I hope this is just a weekly, monthly, or whatever deal. People should be hurting, but not burning Benoit's spot in the wrestling books.
Really it's a sad situation, and even sadder someone I grew up and admired. Someone who helped me as a fan stick with wrestling while others grew tired of it. He's gone, and he's being black-balled from the sport by the fans.
I see people trolling posts, and while they're angry, are we not suppose to be fair to the situation. Benoit has family like the rest of us, and some are grieving over this hard. They don't get why Chris would do this, but if you think he died alone he didn't, and I mean him not having family who are distraught. So really people need to mature up.
Benoit did an awful thing, but that's no reason to go and bash people who know he sacrificed his body long before he sacrificed his wife, son, and his own life.
So yeah, tone it down because some of us can seperate what he did from what he has done long before we could fathom that.
Still it is beyond hard to hear people sh*t on the man like he was a maniac to begin with. Like he had a long ass record, and yet was still respected the whole time.
Give it up, don't respect the man if you don't wanna, but don't take your anger out on those who looked to guys like Benoit, Finlay, Regal, and Edge who supplied the wrestling in a SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT world.
As for my pick, since this is the WWE board and not wrestling in general, I'll name 5.
Eddie Guerrero beats Brock Lesnar for the WWE title
Rey Mysterio and Benoit's rumble wins
Angle vs Brock 60-minute ironman match
RVD vs Cena at ONS II
