While I don’t doubt that was what Benoit said as the reason for him missing the Sunday PPV (realize missing a PPV is huge, so his excuse had to be bug), who knows if its true? Keep an eye on the story.
Missing a PPV where you are slated to win a Championship Belt (ECW) is even huger (is huger a word? lets just say really, really, really, f'n huge)... not to mention that he was slated to carry the ECW francise for a rumored long run...
