Sad news. I really liked him as a wrestler.

 

[CBNJ]

YEAH I just heard about that. His whole family is dead too, wtf happened with that? I remember watching him wrestle back in the day, good times... Long gone.

 

[po pimpus]

****, that's horrible news... Benoit was a legend in the ring. To have this happen to him and his family... Terrible.

I pray that there is no foul play involved, but with the situation as it is, it seems to be a foregone conclusion... I pray that this case gets resolved quickly.

EDIT: Apparently there is evidence to suggest that this was a double murder/suicide on Chris Benoit's part. Here is the link: http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/superst...s/benoitupdate

I really hope that this proves to be false, however, his family has been said to have been suffering for some time...

 

[Ate Track]

this is horrible and i hope it's not true that he murdered them.

it's even worse as he was to win the ecw championship on sunday.

at least he's with eddie now. RIP

 

[Volrec]

Yeah, this really sucked. He was the best wrestler in the WWE.

 

[OF 'til I OD]

at least he's with eddie now. RIP

This may not be true, if he did murder them. :embarrass

It's more than likely the case, as that's what the investiagtors believe. They would know more than us, in fact we know NOTHING, they are on the scene of the crime, knowing all there is to know.

It's sad, but we shouldn't trick ourselves into believing otherwise.

 

[Toilet Paper]

Man, I just Checked wwe.com, and I found out the horrible news. Benoit was one of my favorites! And now he's.......

 

[maXXXpower]

A murder/suicider?

 

[typh]

a murderer is a murderer. I hope there's a hell.

 

[Toilet Paper]

Oh ****! Benoit killed himself? And his family? I have a little less sympathy now... Actually alot.

 

[maXXXpower]

What he did was low. He killed a seven year old child. How do bring yourself up to do that? How do you even think about doing that?

 

[darkshy]

That's scary. What could have driven him to do such a thing? It's sad, but I don't know if I could feel remorse to a man who killed his family.

 

[Deathcarter]

I hope this thread gets closed considering the title is now inaccurate.

 

[180OP]

I hope this thread gets closed considering the title is now inaccurate.

Dayum I was just thinking if this was part of a WWE story line and was going to make a joke about him killing his wife with the crippler crossface but dang son. I never expected that from this guy.

So wealthy too, what could have gone wrong?

 

[Dibs]

Nevermind... R.I.P. to his wife and kid.

 

[TakDragon7]

Man...this is so sad when I hear about a family that died..

 

[Bailey]

Ok so no flaming but I didn't read any of the things about it like news reports but I don't think he did it I mean someone who makes that much money and is involved with sports might have got in with the wrong people could have been a set up but it also could not have been idk

 

[Blood-Katana]

my money is on that it was roid rage

 

[kamikaze falco]

yeah and once he got back to his senses and realized that he killed his son and his wife who he loved so much he just couldn't take it. Because he knew his career would be over his reputation would be over and the family he loved so much was over. And he would be in prison for a VERY long time me thinks. So he killed himself.

 

[Sandy]

I'm sorry..

 

[chiyo-chan' dad]

R.I.P. all THREE.

 

[TheManaLord]

The murders do not represent typical roid rage.

Secured restraints and strangulation are NOT rage oriented acts.


It wasn't steroids. It was crazyness.

 

[OmegaXXII]

Gog Bless his soul, he was indeed one of the best wrestlers of all time, 2nd next to Eddie Guerrero imo, one theory that i think he suicided himself is that maybe he was depressed by Eddie Guerrero's death nearly 2 years ago and was also taking some kind of pills whick i guess made him feel worse and wanted to kill himself without seeing his wife and son suffer so i guess he killed them as well so they wouldn't have to suffer god bless him and R.I.P

 

[Crimson King]

If god blesses him, then I deny god.

I first saw this story Monday on CNN and I was shocked. Now that the autopsies have come out and a time line has been posted on FoxNews and CNN it's pretty clear he was a psychopath. He murdered his wife Friday night by tying her up, placing a knee on her back, and strangling her with a TV cable, after that he smashed her head into the ground. As for his son, he placed in a choke hold until he died. A few hours following this, he went downstairs, tied a towel on his weight set, dropped the dumb bells and hanged himself.

Reports are surfacing that in 2003 his wife put a restraining order on him in fear of violence and he threatened to kill her until she wrote to the courts to drop it.

I stopped following wrestling some time ago (I believe when I entered high school 7 years ago) but I remember him from when I was younger. This was a cold calculated murder and he deserves no respect from anyone.

 

[Repryx]

Man It Really Hurts When Someone I myself Idolized since I was about 7 could go and do such a thing. I can only imagine what could be goin through the heads of his co-workers. He wasnt my Fave Wrestler but he was up there but now...I dunno.

 

[Ate Track]

actually.. chris nowitski (a former wrestler, now a doctor specializing in concussions) wants to run tests on benoit's neurological patterns to see if concussions lead to depression or brain damage as in the andre waters suicide case.

It saddens me to know that he done this without anyone knowing any specific reason for this murder.

I agree with Crimson,you shouldn't honor a psychopath despite his formal positions or reputations.If any of you were to find out that he was related to you and murdered those you love,i'm pretty sure you'd have a change of heart.

A prestigious wrestler turned to murder.It makes me wonder why he would do such a thing.

 

[Crimson King]

I like UFC, so I wasn't a big fan of his, but I understand he was well respected. Sadly, that doesn't allow him to get away with murder.

 

[Dibs]

Just a new development.

[Blood-Katana]

he injected his son with testosterone and wrestled him man he has problems he also tied his wifes hands together with duck tape and beat her to death and the news Chris's doctor prescribed him some testosterone apparently his testosterone levels where low

 

[YoshiKongBarkley3000]

i think they arrested his doctor.

 

[QUIVO]

Definately not roid rage. An act of rage would not span in a 3 day period. He was just crazy and he could have possibly planned it out (seems like it in the reports since he called off a pay per view and such).. I haven't watched in a long time, but I remember him back in the day. Its sad knowing that a man who was known to be loving and caring could do such a thing.
