No, I admired the man I thought was honest, realistic, and hard working. All the documentaries, interviews, and stories I read about him made me believe he was a guy who never gave up and sent a positive message to others.
You're right, I didn't know him personally. But never in a million years did I believe he would do something this horrific. That's why it's such a mind**** for me because it just came out of nowhere it seemed like, and to me, that's what is really scary about this whole tragedy. The fact that anyone at any given point can snap at the drop of a hat and kill their family.
I know during the memorial they stated that Benoit was always quiet and was a person you could never get close to. However, he had several friends in Lance Storm, Jericho, Chavo, Triple H, Edge, Bret Hart, Dean Malenko, and William Regal. Surely they had to have known something was off about him? How long was this inside of him? Was this something that just happened over night? Do people just snap like that without any form of explanation behind their actions? Something wasn't right in his head at all and a human being would not kill his family.
It's just disturbing how anyone could do this.
