R.I.P chris benoit!

[Almost_Austwick]

So you are saying that he kills his wife, thinks about what he has done which build the frustration more and decides to kill his son.

In a nutshell but its not that he thinks about what he's done, its more that the brain just blocks it out as it's unable to comprehend what's happened. Slowly the reality dawns and its almost a case of trying to right that wrong.

Its difficult to understand as it's unique to the person for a number of reasons but from reading some reports its seems that Benoit had started to suffer from symptoms of some form of mental illness - I guess that within in himself he felt that he was taking the correct course of action no matter how warped it seems to the rest of us.

TBH, the whole ordeal would've ruined the kid for life. He probably thought it was the best of his son after he had mentally snapped for a small period of time and it cost him everything. The idea of killing his son was so he could "go out" so to speak together with his family. Just my assumption.

Just a shame this had occured will overshadow all of his accolades in wrestling. Apart from all of the diehard wrestling fans, no one will want to acknowledge him.

You both got good points there.
I used to like Benoit the wrestler, shame this had to happen.

His wikpedia was edited before it happened or something,apparently saying his wife was dead before anyone knew.

What I heard That he killed his wife, Son then himself Man I was shocked When I heard about him but How can someone kill their wife and son thats just wrong.

 

[The Spin]

Despite what people say now I find no place to forgive him. It has been said by the police that there is no evidence of drugs being involved and that the deaths were deliberated. I cannot forgive or remember a killer such as this.

 

[Will_NA]

Well, unless the investigators stop changing their theories and opinions, I won't make my mind up. I want to remember him as a great wrestler but, if the murders were premeditated, then I can't forgive him.

Roid rage. I reckon he killed his wife during a fit of uncontrollable rage brought on by Steriod use. Was remorseful afterwards but realised his only way out was to kill himself, didn't want to leave his son, or his son saw his wifes body. Killed his son. Then gathered his thoughts and realised the honoourable thing was to kill himself.

 

[Will_NA]

We can come up with all the theories we want but, until they are proven by forensics then we can't be sure or make a judgment.

 

[Animator!]

It's already been proven by forensics he killed them.
It's just the motive that nobody will ever know. And So it's open to speculation.

didnt another wrestler die a while back?
earlier this year or something?

Eddie Guerrero is who you're thinking of. He was found unconscious in his room on November 13, 2005; not exactly this year. He died as a result of a heart failure.

I have great respect for Benoit as a wrestler but that can take nothing away from the fact that he killed his own wife and 7 year old son. He leaves us with quite a disturbing image after giving us so much during his time in professional wrestling.

But hasn't the tribute show already happened in America?

Thanks for that info Animator.

I would've though so, as it was also aired Monday on Sky Sports 3 in the UK.
This is devastating, I loved the guy as a wrestler and (I thought) as a person, but what he has done has tarnished his legacy. A great shame, as his legacy should've been great as he was one of the best ever. I watched him winning the title on the tribute show and just couldn't think about him in the same way as before.

What I don't understand is the time between the killings. Surely if he'd just snapped, both killings would've been done at the same time (but I'm no expert on these sort of things.) I hope that some evidence regarding his motive comes to light, although whatever it is it would be no excuse. But it would at least help us to understand why he did it and what had gone so wrong. I doubt very much if he did it completely in cold blood.

R.I.P. Chris, Nancy and Daniel Benoit.

I've just found this post and I have to say that I agree. That is most likely what happened, it would explain the time between the deaths.

Surely it's time the WWE came down hard on steroid use, if that was a contributing factor?

 

[aussie_ben91]

Yeah the tribute aired in America but as facts came across of the murder-suicide case then they decided to scrap it Internationally & immediately removed all of the videos from the show from wwe.com

Interesting, wondering how our Raw will look tomorrow when it's played here.
