Re: WWE's Chris Benoit, Family in Murder-Suicide: Cops
My little bro was always SUCH a huge fan of WWE and Chris Benoit was one of his favorites. No matter what happened, it was a sad tragedy.

here's what i say if it comes out that he did this
and my friend made a good point
the autopsy will tell how each died and who died last. By logic, whoever died last is your best suspect.
So, if it's him - I'll say that he was one of the greatest wrestlers and a great performer - and that it was a tragic shame that this happened. Not so much that he was a great man - because what kind of a man are you to kill his wife and kid - but I'll remember him for the wrestler he was.
I have to see if the WWE inducts him into the Hall of Fame.
well said, Don!

Whoa! NOWHERE in the article does it even intiate that HE was the one who killed them.
I think you all are jumping the gun. How do we know his wife didn't do it?
the autopsy later today will tell the story
whoever is proven to have died last, is your best guess at a suspect

That was my point.
I didn't see the MSNBC article, though. I guess he is the suspect... though we'll know later today for sure.
Wow, just so tragic - famous wrestler or not. So sad.

Re: WWE's Chris Benoit, Family in Murder-Suicide: Cops
I said it before on the other thread - this is my 9 year olds idol. If the speculations are true and he killed his wife and son - I don't know how I am going to explain that to him.
He is so upset over this.

he may have been suffering from depression.
if he used steroids, he could have been effected by it mentally/emotionally (steriod rage)
it's terribly sad.
like i said, we'll never know
all i know is what i've seen of him and heard about him and unless there's some concrete proof to the contrary - he was a great man
Funny. Everyone who ever knew Scott Peterson said the same thing about him-- what a GREAT guy.

CNN is reporting that he pretty much did it - and they are investigating steriod use as the trigger. Apparently he also sent very bizarre text messages to friends, and they alerted authorities to check it out, and authorities discovered the bodies.

What I don't get about this is that if wierd text messages were sent out, why would the WWE do a tribute to him last night. Obviously they thought something was up if they alerted the authorities.
The whole story is just sad!

Re: WWE's Chris Benoit, Family in Murder-Suicide: Cops *UPDATED*
Here is an updated article from newsday.com
Shocking details continue to come out about the apparent double murder-suicide of professional wrestling star Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy, and 7-year-old son Daniel.
Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son before hanging himself in his weight room, a law enforcement official close to the investigation told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Authorities also said they are investigating whether steroids may have been a factor in the deaths, the AP reported. Steroid abuse has been linked to depression, paranoia, and aggressive behavior or angry outbursts known as "roid rage."
"We don't know yet. That's one of the things we'll be looking at," Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard told the AP. He said test results may not be back for weeks.
Benoit, 40, was discovered dead in his home in suburban Atlanta by Fayetville police Monday – a day after he failed to show up at two scheduled matches in Texas over the weekend, including at World Wrestling Entertainment's Vengeance pay per view event in Houston Sunday night. He cited a family emergency as the reason for skipping the shows.
After friends in WWE received several "curious text messages" from Benoit, and WWE officials were unable to reach him, the sheriff's department in Peachtree City, Ga. went to Benoit's home to check on his family about 2:30 p.m.
After maneuvering through two German shepherds that guarded the home, police found Benoit, his wife and child dead in three separate rooms in the home, according to WAGA-TV. The Wrestling Observer newsletter reported that Fayette County police are operating under the theory that Benoit killed his wife on Saturday, son Daniel on Sunday, and then killed himself Monday at his home – a mansion surrounded by stone walls with a gravel road leading to double iron gates.
Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the details of the incident may "prove a little bizarre" when they come out.
WWE scrapped its scheduled live, sold-out Monday Night RAW program in Corpus Cristy last night and sent fans home. In the show's place, WWE chairman Vince McMahon and the WWE announcing team introduced a three-hour career retrospective that included several highlights from Benoit's 22-year career, as well as emotional testimonials from fellow pro wrestlers.
McMahon reportedly broke the news around 4:30 p.m. Monday to a locker room overcome with shock and grief. As news of authorities' suspicion that Benoit killed his wife and son came out, WWE scaled back their tribute to the former world champion on the WWE web site. The company is scheduled to hold its regular television tapings tonight.
Benoit, an Edmonton, Canada native, trained in Calgary and made his pro debut in 1985. He plied his trade in Japan for years before become a fixture on the American wrestling circuit in the mid-1990s. He joined WWE in 1999 and won the company's world heavyweight championship at Madison Square Garden at WrestleMania XX in 2004. He was widely expected to win the Extreme Championship Wrestling world title at Sunday's pay per view event.
Benoit became romantically involved with the then Nancy Sullivan, who worked as a pro wresting valet under the name "Woman," in the mid-1990s while she was married to another wrestler, Kevin Sullivan. The Pro Wrestling Torch newsletter said the marriage was known among wrestling circles to be volatile.
Benoit had two children from another relationship that were not in the home during the deaths.

Re: WWE's Chris Benoit, Family in Murder-Suicide: Cops *UPDATED*
Benoit's History of Domestic Violence Exposed
Before her grisly death, Chris Benoit's wife once told a judge that she was, "intimidated by threats of violence" from her 220 pound husband.
In divorce papers filed in 2003, Nancy Benoit included a petition for protection from domestic abuse against Chris. In the papers, Nancy claimed that Benoit, "lost his temper and threatened to strike the petitioner and cause extensive damage to the home and personal belongings of the parties, including furniture." Nancy added that she was, "in reasonable fear for petitioner's own safety and that of the minor child."
Three months later, Nancy filed to have the divorce papers and the restraining order dismissed. A short time later, a judge granted her wish.

all i can say is wow 
as wrestling fans, we only really know the on screen performers, never the person behind the facade
truly truly disturbing
well, i guess the term great man no longer applies to him. WWE took down all his merchandise and all the tributes
i will change my avatar shortly as well.
I will still say though, that he'll always be remembered as an awesome wrestler and performer. Unfortunately, because of this, none of that matters.

Not being a wrestling fan myself I have to say after watching with DH the tributes last night shocks me today to hear what is coming out about the murder/suicide of Chris Benoit and his family.
You are right Don, you can only know the performers but I would assume that with how the other performers spoke so lovingly about him last night - they too must be in shock in what drove Chris to this monsterous behavior

Re: WWE's Chris Benoit, Family in Murder-Suicide: Cops *UPDATED*
the only thing that I question with the WWE:
initial reports said that the WWE had additional information on the events, and the police asked them not to disclose them
which means they must have known more - possibly the truth of the situation
Given that, I am surprised they still did the tribute and had all those great testimonials about how wonderful he was.
today, they took down all of that stuff from the website

not to stir the pot, but can't you just keep him away from the news and let him remember benoit the wrestler?
WWE will likely not disclose the details on TV
