Obviously, the biggest news story in wrestling for 2007 was the Benoit Tragedy. However, since PWInsider began doing Year End Polls, we have always made a conscious decision not to include the death of a wrestler in the News Story poll. The reason is twofold. One is out of respect to the family members of the deceased, and the other is simply because we feel it would be in poor taste to put someone's passing in a "competition" with other events that aren't nearly as serious or important. A person's passing should not be trivialized in a competition. Obviously, the Benoit situation is a lot more complex than a single person just passing away, and there is no doubt that it was the News Story of the year for wrestling. However, we have decided to stick our past policy and not include it (or the deaths of others in 2007) as part of the poll.
NEWS STORY OF THE YEAR (990 votes)
Congress investigates steroid use in wrestling. - 245 votes (24.7%)
WWE wrestlers named in Signature Pharmacy case are suspended. - 182 votes (18.4%)
