Chris Benoit Dead

[Jerry!]

He might not have been right in the head (that is debatable), but there is no question this was calculated. The Bibles speak volumes for this. He even sent messages to others to keep them away while he did this.

Thats just...bad. Man.

 

[Yurka]

Doesnt he have more than 1 child?? interesting he didntkill the others

 

[Jerry!]

His other kid wasn't at the house, and he has 2 more from a previous marriage as well.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Doesnt he have more than 1 child?? interesting he didntkill the others

2 others from a previous relationship.

I feel sorry for them. They have to come to terms that their father did this.

They may never be right.

Has has two more kids, I think both were in Canada at the time of the muder-suicide.

Lesnar vs. Angle = one of the more epic rivalries in recent wrestling history

OMG and I want Lesnar to return. Seeing him at the Royal Rumble that was shown last night...just wanted to see him return.

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

Its sad,Benoit was a good wrestler.Ive seen some of his matches,this whole thing is disturbing.

OMG and I want Lesnar to return. Seeing him at the Royal Rumble that was shown last night...just wanted to see him return.

I do too. Those WM matches with Angle were fantastic. However, him and the WWE need to get on good terms first.

I want Angle back, too.

I hate him what he did, but I refuse to forget his wrestling legacy. The avatar stays unless I am ordered by a mod to change it.

You have a right to your avatar, and all the power to you. Even if I disagree.

I doubt the mods will say anything...and I don't care either way, but when I look at your Avy, all I see is a murdering coward...someone who committed the weakest most selfish acts a human being can possibly make....but boy what a wrestling career, huh?

 

[vegeta21]

Man, I can't believe this. Or more appropriately I don't WANT to believe this. Benoit always seemed to be a good, honest guy. I even remeber him once in an interview saying how wrestlers shouldn't blame the business for ruining their lives. From the sounds of all his co-workers he doesn't seem to be the type who would murder his family. I even met him once and got his autograph, and its really hard to believe I shook hands with a guy who would go on to murder his family. I want to hear that the police made a critical error in the investigation and that he in fact had been murdered. Part of me wants to dig up his autograph and frame it, the other part of me wants to dig up the autograph, burn it and forget Chris Benoit EVER existed.

So is it okay for me to put up my O.J. avatar?

Pro wrestler Chris Benoit asphyxiated his son and wife, leaving copies of the Bible next to each of their bodies, before he hanged himself in a basement weight room using a cord from one of the weight machines, law enforcement officials said Tuesday afternoon.
Police ruled the deaths a murder-suicide a day after discovering Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and their 7-year-old son, Daniel, dead in the family's suburban Atlanta home.


"We are looking at this case and ruling it as a double homicide-suicide," Lt. Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff's Office said during a press conference outside the Benoit house.
Pope, relying on preliminary autopsy results from the state crime lab, laid out a roughly 24-hour timeline that began Friday with the 40-year-old wrestler killing his wife in an upstairs family room.
Nancy Benoit was bound, had blood under her head and was wrapped in a towel, Pope said. Fayette Count District Attorney Scott Ballard described the state of her body -- face down on the hardwood floor -- as "the only sign of a struggle."
"Her hands were bound together, her feet were bound together and there was a little blood over her face," Ballard told ABC News in an interview after the press conference. "The medical examiner found bruising on the small of her back and bruising on the front of her body consistent with being crushed up against the floor."
Police said Benoit then asphyxiated their son early Saturday morning. The boy was found face down in his bed, and there were no handmarks on his neck, Ballard said.
Benoit killed himself in the basement either late Saturday or early Sunday. Ballard said the wrestler, listed as 5 feet 10 inches, and weighing 220 pounds, was found hanging by his neck from a weight machine. "

Two points.

1) Vince McMahon is a complete A-hole. He drives these men to depression and physically destroys them ... he is an accomplice in this and is now trying to protect their image by claiming "roid rage" had nothing to do with it. Whatever.

2) The man was a great wrestler. Read the section again about how he killed his son. From behind. With a pillow ... his son would have struggled as he died ... No offence, but I think you might want to reconsider "paying tribute" to a cold blooded killer.

IMO.

and by legacy you mean the storylines his character participated in?

 

[Erzengel]

So the Ohio cop who was already married who got his girlfriend pregnant, killed her and dumped the body, I guess I can "respect" his fine police work regardless and put him in an avatar?

But he didn't kill himself. All about the killing of yourself.

I know we have a wrestling thread, but I still think this deserves it's own...

Find and read the details...they are disturbing.

I suppose you could if you wanted, though I highly doubt you have memories of him like many had of Benoit.

So, then its okay for me to upload my O.J. avatar? I mean he was one hell of a football player.

 

[Jerry!]

So wait, because he killed himself, then he deserves respect, but if he didn't then no? So doing a cowardly act makes you get more respect, got it. In the end its the same result, he's a murdering bastard.

 

[caretaker14]

and by legacy you mean the storylines his character participated in?

His matches, yes.

 

[Erzengel]

Regardless, how does one measure that? What if he was a big brother type that I looked up to?

Seriously, I just don't get how people justify respecting his "career".

 

[Spider-Fan]

Dude, sarcasm is a great thing.

I in no way feel sorry for Benoit.

If you wanted, it's not my call; though the same probably applies.
