Benoit 911 Call: WWE Security Chief Gave Wrong Day of Wrestler’s Last Message

MARCH 28, 2008 – In the call to 911 just before the corpses of Chris Benoit and his wife and son were discovered last year, World Wrestling Entertainment’s chief of security twice stated the wrong day for the wrestler’s final cryptic text messages, an investigation by author Irvin Muchnick has revealed.
This finding raises new questions about the circumstances surrounding WWE’s Benoit tribute show, which aired on the USA cable network on Monday night, June 25, 2007. The company has defended the show by maintaining that it did not yet know that Chris Benoit had strangled his wife Nancy with a cord, snapped 7-year-old Daniel’s neck with a variation of his “Crippler Crossface” wrestling hold, and suspended himself by the throat from a basement gym weight-machine pulley.

"Vince's kids

Vince McMahon and his World Wrestling Entertainment think that their magazine for grown-ups is going so well that they are now going to produce a version aimed at children to be called WWE Kids.

Interestingly, Wal-Mart, which recently booted SI for Kids as part of a national purging of 1,400 magazine titles, is going to be one of the outlets carrying the new wrestling mag.

"We have a Wal-Mart program that is polybagging it with the WWE Magazine," said WWE Publishing Director Bob Lee. A standalone magazine will hit newsstands on April 15 with a $3.95 cover price.

Lee labels the move as a "logical brand extension" that should break even by the end of its first year.

Though pundits may scoff at the idea of a WWE magazine aimed at kids, Editorial Director Tony Romando insists this version of the magazine is an "entertainment and educational book" that leaves out the head bashing shown on TV.

The magazine is starting with a rate base of only 100,000, and is aimed at children aged 6 to 14.

Romando said the magazine features puzzle solving, art projects, physical fitness as well as jokes.

"It encourages kids to eat right, have a good laugh - and make some fake puke while you're at it," said Romando. [email protected] "
