Chris Benoit
 

Just heard last night about what happened to Chris Benoit. The news seems sketchy but suggests that he killed his wife and son before hanging himself. Does anyone know anything more?

Found this on the Southern Lord forum:

Just read on CNN that he smothered his child, strangled his wife, and hung himself. What a bastard.

you could ask my wife.....

apparently she was forced to sit through some 3 hour memorial special about this douchebag last night.

i didn't expect this subject here

i used to watch wrestling years ago, and unlike so many, he was a very respected guy, not weird at all and just a figure of integrity in workmanship, it is known that steroids causes fits of depression and violent behavior, and this seems more then likely the cause of it

i hope this brings in investigations into McMahon and his whole company, and all of the steroid use within, between this and the death of Owen Hart, the company should have been just gutted

Jennthebenn has been doing research on the amount of wrestlers who have died in the last 10 years, and it's appauling how many die so young, either from drugs or murder

He should've hanged himself before killing his wife and son. Anyway, I hadn't heard of him before.

I have a weird fascination with WWE and it's true that Chris Benoit was the last person I'd expect to do something like that. The irony is of course, on the tributes I saw the other night almost everyone was going on about what a great husband and father he was. Hmmm.

"He was a great husband and father, except for the murder part."

What was his name, in wrestling? I forgot after someone told me it was all a big fake.

Someone had to tell you wrestling is fake?

No, I was being a sacarstic twit.

amazing technical wrestler. it's all staged, of course, but some wrestlers
do their jobs better than others. chris benoit was the type of grappler who
could make you forget this was all a show. he was also a piece of shit
scumbag murdering bastard. maybe some people can reconcile
the contrast...i can't. not this. kill your wife and child? unforgivable, unjustifiable.

yeah,

amazing technical wrestler

let's not forgot that REPORTS SUGGEST THAT HE PROBABLY KILLED HIS WIFE AND SON AND HIMSELF. nothing's official yet!

but yeah, he was a fucking millionaire. no matter what problems you have with your wife and kid, why would you fucking kill them when you could have anything wanted? it just seems crazy to me. selfish.

Being a human caricature who panders to the lowest common denominator in a form of "entertainment" that thrives on cartoonish violence while simultaneously using steroids to whatever degree is expected of you can maybe have some ill effects on the psyche of the kind of person who would go into that line of work in the first place, perhaps.

wow.

well-said.

I used to love wrestling. This news was surprising. I told my brother about it and he thought I was joking.

If Benoit's little 'outburst' really was down to steroids, then this guy's family must be shitting itself right now.

read somewhere that his clan missed a family crisis meeting so someone found them in the process of checking it out.

I think I heard someone call him "The Crippler."

that's fucked up right there
