My mother called me today and asked if the “stuff” I am taking would ever make me do something like this. My “stuff” is protein powder BCAA and creatine.
Benoit was one of my favorite wrestlers of all time. Lot’s of theories are coming out but until I see an official autopsy report I’m going to refrain from jumping to any conclusions about what happened or why.
Man, that wrassling on tv is really impressing me. I had it all wrong - thinking it was a joke for 8 yr olds and all.
A “tribute” to an asshole who smothered his fucking seven year old?? Damn, too bad I didn’t tape that so I could see all the “great” things he did in the wrasslin ring…because strangling your wife and smothering your son surely don’t taint his wrasslin career right?
The theory the wwe went with the tribute show before they had any details is ridiculous too. What-no red flags popped up in anyone’s mind when the wife and kid are all found dead in the house at the same time? What the fuck was the prevailing theory at wwe - coincidental natural causes x 3?
Fucking Pathetic.

do you expect a mother to hate her son who commits murder…
you cant just turn it off…
at least not right away…
is he a total bastard for killing everyone… sure… no argument…
but to his friends, family and fans. on monday night, without knowing the facts, he was not yet that person…
so i stand by my comments… the tribute was justified at the time.

I didn’t realize you were close enough to an actor in a fake sport for retarded hicks to consider him an equivalent to your child.
I didn’t care about your tribute comments. I find it hilarious that your two “theories” blame the wife.

the POLICE not the WWE said that they were not ruling out a triple murder until after the investigation was completed.
on top of that you only have hours to decided what to do when your entire work force is affected by this. who’s gonna work after hearing this?
could they have gone with a repeat and then did (or not) the tribute next week, sure… that would have been the better call in hindsight… but that’s why they call it hind sight.
he is is a man who was well liked and well respected…
you don’t just run home and slaughter your family for no reason.
so i still think there is more to it than a random act of violence.
but i’m no CSI…soo what the fuck do i know

what the fuck are you talking about? i’m not close to him at all. and i never claimed to be.
nor did i ever blame anyone.
i just dont think anyone runs home to slaughter there family at random.
he left the road unexpectedly due to a “family emergency”
that isn’t my personal information that is what is being reported.
most people don’t do this for the fuck of it.
so my theories were that it involved his wife.
but you apparently see what you want to see.
Everyone needs to understand one HUGE point.
At the time of the WWE making the tribute show no one knew that Chris was the murderer. The WWE was informed at 4pm he and his family were dead, they made the tribute show, then at 10pm the news of him being the killer was released.
Enough with the “They paid tribute to a murderer…” BS.
Also… Wasn’t the reason for splitting WWE in 2 shows (Raw and Smackdown) to give the wrestlers a little bit of a break. Before they used to have to do a show on Monday, then tape Smackdown all with the same superstars. Now its 50/50 so half of them get a break while the other half films.
I just read where he strangled his wife and smothered his little boy. I’m sure he was mentally ill. If not, I hope he gets his punishment in Hell.

“Do you expect a mother to blame her kid” is basically a way of you justifying all the ‘wrasslin’ retards across the internet defending this guy and coming up with ridiculous bullshit theories to make him as a victim fit.
Is this a joke? Every other week there’s someone killing all their kids when they have like 10 of them and then killing themselves.
I believe the family emergency was that he had killed his family.
What’s been reported by police officers is that he strangled his wife, kept his kid alive for another day and send text messages during the PPV, then smothered his kid and hung himself. That is from officers inside the department investigating it.
Then there was the official press release saying they were not going to investigate outside of the house. What the fuck do you think that means?
Somehow I do not think this math requires a doctorate in particle physics to put together.

I see that both of your theories blame the wife because you are a mental midget who is incapable of believing HIGH LORD WRESTLER WHO WAS LOVED AND RESPECTED LIKE A GOLDEN GOD actually maybe had it in him to you know- let’s say kill his family.
It was definitely the wife, I mean, women am i rite they’re all crazy fuck that bitch i know chris benoit he was my idol
Throw yourself off a bridge.

As soon as I heard he and his family were “found dead” I assumed he pulled a murder suicide.
As was pointed out before this term is a huge red flag.
I am stunned that someone at the network or WWE didn’t think the same thoughts.
It is pretty damn easy to second guess it as the wrong decision. I don’t know what else they could have done. Cancelling the live show was probably the right move after the backlash from the Owen Hart thing.
I watched some of it and my wife and I were both thinking they were paying tribute to a guy that probably killed his family. It was very odd.
if you rewatch the tribute and read the body language and reaction of alot of people, mostly John Cena and his “best friend” Dean Malenko it is pretty obvious that they knew something was up. Rewatching the tributes each person did it is fairly obvious in some of them that they knew Benoit pulled something horrible.

Originally, that was the plan, but basically all it did was eliminate about a 1/2 day of travel. Wrestlers on both shows still performed 4 nights a week (3 house shows and 1 TV show). When you factor in travel to and from shows, a monthly pay per view and in recent years, extensive overseas travel, the schedule is still as bad as it was 20 years ago.
That, to me, is the big issue. It’s all a big cycle. Guys take 'roids to improve their look, but also to recover from injuries faster so they’re not off the road and can “protect their spot” on the card.
I know it would hurt the bottom line, but WWE really needs to consider giving their wrestlers a 2-3 month off-season, let them go home, rest and relax and come back refreshed. Why not take June and July off, which are usually slow months in terms of television ratings due to people being on vacation, air a bunch of “best of” shows and maybe even some old pay-per-views, and then make the return to live action a big deal?
60 wrestlers under the age of 50 have died in the last 10 years. If that’s not a sign that something needs to change in the industry, I don’t know what is.
Yes, I understand people have to be held accountable for their own actions, but that schedule should also be held under the microscope.

I immediately thought murder-suicide, too, when I first heard the news, and I’m sure a lot of people in WWE did as well.
The thing we didn’t know at the time was who was the killer. It could’ve just as easily have been his wife that killed Benoit and the son, then killed herself.
Obviously, that wasn’t the case, but going off the facts they had at the time, I don’t have a problem with what WWE did last night. They were prompt to remove the tributes once the facts came out.

Do you get this worked up at people in real life too or is it just the superior internet douche in you?
By the way, personifying everyone who watches professional wrestling as “wrasslin’ retards” and ignorant hicks is in its own…well, ignorant. Im sure a more logical perspective would be that those who are fans of Benoit were shocked by the horrific nature of the crime and probably at first had trouble believing that he would commit such and act. Honestly, getting so worked up at someone for exhibiting a fairly natural response to such a horrific event on a message board is pretty juvenile. It must be nice to have so much time on your hands.

Wrestler Benoit strangled wife, smothered son, hanged himself in weight room
By GREG BLUESTEIN, Associated Press Writer
June 26, 2007
ATLANTA (AP) – Pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife, suffocated his 7-year-old son and placed a Bible next to their bodies before hanging himself by the pulley of a weightlifting machine, authorities said Tuesday.
Investigators also found prescription anabolic steroids in the house, Lt. Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department. He would not comment on Benoit’s state of mind or possible motive.
Autopsies showed all three died of asphyxiation, Pope said.
Benoit’s wife, Nancy, was killed Friday in an upstairs family room, her feet and wrists were bound and there was blood under her head, indicating a possible struggle, Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard said.
The son, Daniel, was likely killed late Saturday or early Sunday, the body found in his bed, Ballard said.
Benoit apparently killed himself several hours and as long as a day later, Ballard said. His body was found in a downstairs weight room, his body found hanging from the pulley of a piece of exercise equipment.
The prosecutor said he found it “bizarre” that the WWE wrestling star spread out the killings over a long weekend and appeared to remain in the house for up to a day with the bodies.
“I’m baffled about why anybody would kill a 7-year-old,” Ballard said. “I don’t think we’ll ever be able wrap our head around that.”
Earlier, a law enforcement official speaking on a condition of anonymity said Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son.
I watched the show via the West Coast feed, and to say it was odd watching it while checking the net for new updates & seeing what I saw would be an understatement.
WWE was basically in a no-win situation last night, as has already been mentioned.
The only thing I have a problem with, is the changing of match listings on DVD. Earlier today if you went to their shopzone, DVD’s such as Wrestlemania XX changed from Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Benoit to just Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels. That’s too far, in my opinion.

I think the show was the wrong decision but I make wrong decisions every day.
I am not going to hold it against them or condemn them for it.
Bill ORielly attributed the murder-suicide to steroids, during his radio show this afternoon. He claimed that Beniot was strung out and out of control like most of the pro-wrestlers. So standby for the anti-steroid crowd chiming in on this one.
Fox News is using the term “roid rage” in reference to this case.
Police ruled the death a double homicide-suicide and are investigating whether steroids may have been a factor in the deaths.
Authorities said they found prescription anabolic steroids in the home among other legal prescriptions. Steroid abuse has been linked to depression, paranoia, and aggressive behavior or angry outbursts known as “roid rage.”
