Chris Benoit's ex-wife on tragedy, Italia1 pulls Smackdown + the media
On Saturday, June 30, 2007 at 3:41 PM EST The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has a small article up quoting Martina Benoit, Chris Benoit's former wife. In regards to Chris she said he was quote "the most loving person anyone could imagine. I love him." To view the article, click here.
The first real reaction to the Chris Benoit tragedy is Italia1 (the channel that airs Smackdown in Italy) pulling all wrestling from its station citing the Benoit tragedy and saying they are doing it out of respect for Italian children.
There was even more coverage of the Benoit tragedy on the 24/7 cable news networks last night. Most of it took place on Fox News from what I saw. Bill DeMott and Debra joined "Hannity & Colmes", while Chris Jericho was interviewed by "On The Record" (click here for a recap).
