- Maria sent the following: RAW Diva Melina is featured in a new commercial that is airing on USA Network on MUN2 for a new contest Mun2 is doing to celebrate RAW's 15th Anniversary. One lucky winner of the contest will get the ultimate RAW themed quinceanera (15th birthday party) of her dreams.

- From an article on FOX 5 News in Atlanta:

The legal battle for pro wrestler Chris Benoit's estate might be coming to a close and that could be bad news for the WWE. The lawyer for the Benoit family accused the WWE Thursday of contributing to the factors that caused the wrestler to kill his family and then commit suicide. A lawsuit against the WWE could be on the horizon, but for now lawyers for the Benoit family are hammering out the deal.

With Benoit's estate nearly settled, lawyers for the Benoit family are now setting their sites on the WWE, the wrestling federation that employed Chris Benoit. The WWE told FOX 5 News that the organization will not contribute any money to Benoit's children. The Benoit family says the WWE played a role in what drove Benoit to murder his family and then commit suicide, and accusation the WWE has denied.

I don't like WWE being blamed for the poor choices that Benoit made, but I do understand where the Benoit family is coming from. They believe it's the pressure and stress that the wrestling industry was placing on Chris that forced him into some decisions he made, which ultimately led to the tragedy.

There is a general problem in pro wrestling, and I don't think WWE should take the fall for it. I would not at all hold them directly responsible for what Chris Benoit did. WWE doesn't owe anyone anything.

Chris made the choice to do what he did ........now the family wants to WWE for his choices . When are people gonna let people take responsibilty for their own actions...... instead of blaming everyone else. Whatever happened to freewill??
