Super J Cup 1994

The "In Wrestling" section of the article states "Sharpshooter – 1998–2007", but at the Super J Cup (1994) he applies the move to The Great Sasuke. That tournament was from 1994. Could we please change the date from 1998–2007 to 1994-2007? Also, he did win the actual cup with a Gutwrench Suplex from the top (third) rope. Could we add it to the finisher or signature section?

No proof.

this will probably not get answered but there were no cameras nor DNA test done to prove he actually did it I believe it should be alleged murder-sucide .and also conspiracy theories should be here for example Marilyn Monroe death was ruled suicide but there are still conspiracy theories about if she was murdered on her Wikipedia article. and lastly it should be here that someone edited this page and claimed Benoit wife died before they were found dead. 102.91.93.111 (talk) 05:01, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When you say no proof: there is no proof suggesting Benoit was not guilty, though millions have looked for it. All the evidence points to benoit’s guilt. That is why conspiracy theories should not be presented here. Shall we admit the possibility that aliens killed Benoit and his family? Of course not.

“His murders” is improper
