Do you think the death of Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero has contributed to the WWE's "down fall"?

Not really. They easily replaced Benoit and Eddie with other wrestler into the top tier division. WWE actually has loads of talented wrestler that can easily replace to be the top tier wrestler. It's just a matter of WWE realizing how good they are to give them a push. A tragedy of many talented wrestlers in the ring that have either been released or stuck backstage for 20 years and counting while Cena does his 5-knuckle shuffle and that...running shoulder block thingy of his.. and becoming the icon of the WWE and pretty much a future hall of famer.
