Chris Benoit (Murder/Suicide) http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=2917133 This situation is hard because Eddy didn't do this heinous act. To be able to even watch vintage tapes and DVD's, you'd have to be able to separate Benoit the character vs Benoit the person. It's hard for me because I've watched for over a decade, and Benoit is one of the originals. He's up there with the likes of the Hogan's and the Flair's if you ask the wrestlers. He hasn't been in the game as long, but he was one of the best ever. I wonder if they'll put him in the Wrestling HOF.
Crap Benoit is an animal what kind of person kills his wife and son.Steroids may have gotten him in a killing rage.Wow i have lost respect for him...
It is very likely end-stage depression. You basically don't even know who you are anymore. It hits you all at once, you don't plan what you're doing. The people (or person) you kill are always loved ones, this is because the person (depressive) suffers a mass hallucination where he or she believes nobody else can help the particular people (or person) and the depressive ends up killing for "their better." It is a psychological case. If indeed he suffered from this depressive issue then I haven't lost respect for him because you don't know what you're doing during end-stage depression. It is a case where intense psychiactric treatments usually can't even help the person. The person who suffers the drama always attempts suicide after killing, which most of the time actually fails. They are usually put in treatment centers for a year and then given a two to ten years prison sentance for murder. When those that suffer this get out of prison I'd say maybe only 1 of every 10 doesn't attempt suicide immiately after getting out. As I mentioned a very sad case, but until it is confirmed as to why he killed them I won't label him as a cold blooded killer. As to the Hall of Fame, I'd expect the WWE to put him in the next HOF before Wrestlemania as they always do. You can't take away his wrestling triumphs and dedication.
Yeah i think the WWE will put him in the Hall Of Fame for sure they did the same when Eddie died so they should do it to him too.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">STAMFORD, Conn., June 26, 2007 ? World Wrestling Entertainment is stunned and saddened by the details released by local authorities concerning the double homicide-suicide involving Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and his son, Daniel. However, WWE is concerned with the sensationalistic reporting and speculation being undertaken by some members of the media following the press conference held by the Fayette County Sheriff?s Department and the District Attorney. During the press conference, the investigating authorities made the following points, all of which run contrary to the media speculation that "roid rage" was a factor in the senseless murders and suicide ... 2. Steroids were not, and could not, be related to the cause of death (asphyxiation). Authorities had no factual basis to speculate as to Benoit?s state of mind, and rightly did not do so. 3. Toxicology tests have not even been completed, so there is no current evidence that Benoit even had steroids or any other substance in his body. In that regard, on the last test done on Benoit by WWE's independently administered drug testing program, done on April 10, 2007, Benoit tested negative ... WWE is continuing to monitor the ongoing investigation being conducted by local authorities. </div> <div align="center">Source: WWE official website</div>

Details of the killing. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Benoit’s 43-year-old wife 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, Ballard said. Daniel was probably killed late Saturday or early Sunday, the body found in his bed, the district attorney said. Benoit, 40, apparently hanged 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. A closed Bible was placed next to the bodies of the wife and son, authorities said. The prosecutor said he found it “bizarre” that the wrestler spread out the killings over a weekend and appeared to remain in the house for up to a day with the bodies. </div> LINK
Wow man thats totally freaky. The guy killed his own wife and son and lived in the house with the bodies for upto a day. And then killed himself. I wonder whats the reason behind all this.

If it turns out he wasn't depressed, well then he was simply a silent psychopath.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Mamba:</div><div class="quote_post">Investigators said he smothered his son, strangled his wife, and hanged himself in his weight room. Coward.</div> You can't really call him a coward. He must have been mentally unstable to do something like that. If you are mentally unstable, theres no telling what your capabable of. Thats why there are special homes for the mental, where they can get back into a normal state of mind.
The guy is definitely HOF material and was just nasty in the ring. It was horrible what happened? What made him do it though??
Chris Jericoh said he sent him a text message and it made no sense so he called him and Beniot said his wife burnt his dinner and he wasn't having that so he put her in the cross face but she wouldn't tap, and they said they caught him masturbating to a new wrestler or something ill post a link when i find it
idk i saw it on another message board, i can't find a link i thought the guy posted it so its proabably not real
He wont be going into the WWE hall of fame if he really killed his family. Vince was forced to apologize last night for even doing a tribute show to the guy.
At first they were going to do one but after he killed his family, then had no choice but not to do one. Chris Benoit doesn't go to the HOF even though he was a legend, it's a shame but WWE won't put him in that's for sure.
Wow, that is terrible. How did they come to this conclusion? Could it have been a set up...lol, I think I've watching too many movies. R.I.P. Benoit Family
