In an industry full of shocking moments, one thing was certain.  There was only one moment that truly rocked us all to our core.  It didn't take place in a ring.  It wasn't scripted.  It was reality beyond what any of us could have dreamed of.

2007's Most Shocking Moment is...

The Chris Benoit Murder/Suicide

Reader Comments:

"Every Monday night I record Monday Night Raw. Being English, it's often not practical to watch Raw at 2am in the morning, and as college had finished for the summer, I decided to watch Raw the next morning. When I first saw the graphic notifying me that Benoit had died, I felt devastated. I was upset when Eddie died, but nothing like this because Benoit was one of my favourite 3/4 wrestlers of all time. I felt bad enough after watching Raw, but those feelings were multiplied by 10 when I found out exactly what happened once I finished watching Raw. The rest of the day I felt physically sick, it was only once the end of the week came about that I started making sense of it all. I won't explain my feelings exactly because I'm sure most of you felt the same, it's just a shame that his amazing legacy will now be severely tainted."
- Tomamar

 

"This just turned the wrestling world upside down. From the tribute show to the revelation of what happened to all the wrestlers and former wrestlers talking about steroids on every national show. "
- Ernie Ballard

 

"I doubt much needs to be said here, and I would be surprised if anyone else picks anything else."
- Sarah Daigen

 

"Wow, this will forever change wrestling. Nothing has been the same since, some of it is for the best and other parts are not.  But you will never forget it. "
- Adam Airforce

 


Staff Comments:

"I don't think it's even possible to look at any other event as "shocking" in comparison to this. Hell, I am still in shock half a year later. It's just one of those things you'll never, ever forget as a wrestling fan. "
- Canadian Bulldog

 

"No need to really delve into it. It's a horrific tragedy that I'll never forget, but am going to do my damndest to try."
- ZAH

 

"It doesn’t get any more shocking than discovering a wrestler respected by his peers and fans could commit such a heinous act.   The less said about that the better."
- Mike Rickard
