Dead Wrestlers

• 301. previous post continued.... Thee bottom line is that every person on the planet has the ability to kill - it is human nature, it is just a matter of finding the right buttons to push to unlock it. No doubt something or someone found a way to unlock that in Chris Benoit.

• 302. I find it interesting that everyone has turned on the man and condemmed for one action - yes it's a hanous action that takes deep compasion to forgive. However Mr. Benoit lived on this planet for 40 years and roughly 40 days.... for 40 years and 37 days he was an upstanding citizen - for what he did in and out of the ring for those 40 years and 37 days I respect. I dont appprove, nor justify of what he did during his last three days on earth nor do I have any idea what was going through his mind at the time. The truth is none of us do and probably will never know - But the fact remains that this wasn't a cime where he stalked his victoms - he is not a scott peterson, ted bundy or paul Bernardo. The true fact is this may have been just a domestic issue gone wrong and for some reason he felt to take his son with him - perhaps because he has fragile X syndrome.

• 303. A great wrestler, but nonetheless a murderer. This is called domestic violence and is true in nature; the abusive and controlling personality has unresolved issues that are overwhelmingly difficult to address. So, as he loses control if feels defeated and in so doing decides it's time to check out....only I'm taking everyone with me. If I'm suffering so must everyone else. So, a great wrester... MAYBE! Inductee in the Hall of Fame....MAYBE! What is known for certain is that he is a MURDERER. He could have taken his life, that was one choice, he could have sought help, that was another choice and he could have allowed his wife and son to go on living. That was the ONLY CHOICE!! Our hearts should grieve for his remaining children, family and friends. Not for the MAN.

• 304. Regardless of what he did in his personal life, he was a great wrestler and i don't think it's fair to his other living children how people are paintingg this man to be. He should be inducted to the hall of fame because he was an awesome wrestler maybe not a great husband. Only Nancy and himself know what kind of life they lived. RIP Benoit family.

• 305. Thank you Cindy. It is a scary room in here. I can not believe the absolute ignorance and the inability to see the big picture here. The only people anyone should feel bad for and pray for are Benwoit's deceased wife and child, and the family and friends who have lost them. My message to all of you that feel bad for/mourn this murdering coward -please dont vote in our next presidential election. There is a big wrestling match that day. You dont want to miss it.

• 306. Thank you, Diana! Not only for your grip on reality and common sense (which apparently isn't all that common), but also for your ability to write in complete coherent sentences!

• 307. Ummmm....Unknown Fan, are you kidding me??? YOu are getting your information from WWE.com? Well, then, hands down, you certainly got FACTS dont you! PLEASE! Do you remember not to long ago when all of major league baseball was shaking in their shoes over a book that was written outing the organization and several of its players for steroid use? Well, I guarantee you, the WWE is scared shitless right now, because if an investigation into the WWE for steroid use is demanded by the government, the entire WWE is going DOWN. They are full of #$@!? they totally tolerate steroid use,they look the other way. Without their wrestlers using steroids, they would have no wrestlers, no wrestling period. Open up your eyes, all of you. Many have come forward-even Hulk Hogan has admitted that they all use steroids. I dont know if this guy was in a roid rage when he murdered his wife and child, but his mind was obviously pretty fried and it was the steroids that did it.

• 308. At first, i was totally depressed when i found out mr. mcmahan wasnt dead and that my favorite wrestler that i loved forever died.The first time i watched WWE, he was my favorite from the start and i always loved his respect and honor he had for others. once i heard he killed his wife and son, i seriously wouldnt believe it. if you knew the guy, that wasnt him. so i really hope god forgave him and that there was some resonable excuse for this, maybe a death threat or soemthing but either way, if chris made it to heaven, then they r all in a better place now

• 309. I think people should read the BIBLE more. It says " JUDGE NOT LEAST YOU BE JUDGED " for all you nuts out there that have already made up your mind that Chris is some kind of monster just look at it this way. God will judge ALL of us and if Chris actualy did kill his wife and son he will get what is coming to him by GOD not man so if you are condeming Chris on hear say evidence God will judge you in the same way. I say let the police do their job and lets get ALL the facts before we open our mouths because if someone else did this awful thing you may be condeming the wrong person.

• 311. 5150, where is that article. Please give me the website or newspaper so I can read it for myself. Until I see it in black and white, i will not change my opinion on that statement.

• 312. ok diana, let's see something here, they were legal steriods which can mean that some one in house could have been prescribed them for asthma and other medical issues. Did you by chance read on WWE.com that he was issued a drug test a month ago and the drug test came back negative for steriod use. Before people assume the worst, look at the articles posted on many wrestling boards that all say the same thing. This was not an act of roid rage. Look at the way people w/roid rage react. if that was the case, don't u think he would be paranoid that they will find out what he did, also there are reports that Benoit had enemies who wanted to cause harm to him and his family, u never know what could have happened in that house. The only ones that know are gone now and until reports come back from the investigation it is all speculation. I am a 30yr old female who has watched wrestling since i can remember, so no matter what happens it is a sad day for all.

• 313. it is not a coincidence that these people die of heart attacks and drug overdoses... but when i hear someone say that Benoit was actually a victim of wrestling in this instance, i have to say i get very sick...Benoit was no victim...Nobody was a victim except his poor wife and child...if wrestling was that bad, Benoit should have left...if it was ruining his life, he should have left it a long time ago... that is a load of crap to say that Benoit was a victim...McMahon is not a good guy, but he is definitely doing the right thing by not mentioning this cowards name anymore in connection with his organization...

• 314. ok..if 5150 says that it is true that he used one of his signature moves on his own son, i want PROOF. Until the proof is shown to me and all the fans, non-fans, it is not true in my eyes. I understand the way ppl are thinking because how could some one kill their family? I understand people are pissed off and upset because they would not think someone they looked up to or even idolized would do this. I can not wait to see the toxicology reports that say there was no steriods in his system. Then what made someone if it was him do this to his family especially a defenseless 7yr old. Everyone is entitled to the opinions on the story, but everyone just please keep the family, friends in your prayes. He has other children that are affected by this right now and I wonder what they are feeling, thinking about all of this. Plus if he was abusive and a wife beater, why hasn't his 1st wife come forward saying bad stuff about him. Think about it!!!!

• 315. I cant believe the 'Benoit fans' leaving the most ridiculous, ignorant posts. 1. Yes, he was on steroids, you moron. They FOUND them in the house. Plus, YES, he is that big because he was on steroids. DUH! It is impossible to get that big without steroids.Get a clue. Did you also know that wrestling is fake? No? Well,now you do. 2. NO, we should not be honoring HIM. He murdered his wife, but more importantly, he MURDERED HIS 7 YEAR OLD INNOCENT CHILD AND CUT HIS LIFE WAY TO SHORT. WHY would you want to honor him? Because he put a bible next to them afterwards? Are you for real? You dumb, ignorant redneck. This man was a selfish, murdering monster who could have very well just have hanged himself and left his wife and child ALONE, but did not because he was a coward. You want to worship a child murdering coward? Be my guest you brain dead imbecile.
