Having caught up with the RAW views I have but one thing to say - would the various people declaiming that La Resistance ought to be sacked please grow up. Guess what, they made a mistake. A big mistake, but these things happen in what is a pretty dangerous sport.

For instance a lot of the loudest declaimers are huge Benoit fans who got his 'crippler' moniker from, oh yeah, breaking Sabu's neck. Which also comes under big old mistakes.

In short, accidents happen.

A-freaking-men! I can think of lots of sick bumps that fall under the heading of 'shit happens' but you don't go around yelling for blood when it happens. Accidents happen. It's all part of the business.

Memorable moments:

The aforementioned breaking of Sabu's neck by Benoit
Sandman breaking Sabu's jaw
RVD breaking Jerry Lynn's nose
Owen Hart & the Steve Austin piledriver
Brian Lee breaking Tommy Dreamer's ribs
The Undertaker throwing Cactus off the steel cage

They suck it up and go on & hope it doesn't happen again. It's called 'being professional' about it.

Thanks. I feel a bit guilty about using Benoit as the example, because lots of other people have made foul ups.

I'd really like to say this to people. There are risks inherent in the sport. Spike Dudley actually wrote an article about it for wwe.com. But you know internet smarks, they hate everyone.
