Canada takes it's sports heroes seriously, pro wrestlers are especially big. That's one reason why the Montreal Screw Job was such a big deal, because Brett is practically a God up there. Benoit isn't much different. He's a big-time Canadian hero, most Americans don't understand that. In fact, most people who are non-wrestling fans don't grasp this. Benoit is one of the top 10 wrestlers of the last 20-30 years, if not ever. Bill Simmons from ESPN even wrote about this story. It's the biggest sports story of the year and the biggest pro wrestling story ever. Sure it's sports entertainment, but it's relevent to sports for sure. And it's not going to go away for quite a while either.
