Crazy f*cked up story....wondered if anybody happend to know why he would do sucha a thing

Re: Pro Wrestler Chris Benoit kills family then himself

yeah i read this too, how fuct do you have to be to kill your own wife and esp your young kid

Re: Pro Wrestler Chris Benoit kills family then himself

roid rage?

Re: Pro Wrestler Chris Benoit kills family then himself

[quote=res0nat0r;503152]yeah i read this too, how fuct do you have to be to kill your own wife and esp your young kid[/quote]I guess the answer is

[QUOTE]Authorities also said they are investigating whether steroids may have been a factor in the deaths of Benoit, his wife and their 7-year-old son. Steroid abuse has been linked to depression, paranoia, and aggressive behavior or angry outbursts known as "roid rage."[/QUOTE]

Re: Pro Wrestler Chris Benoit kills family then himself

thats sad ... he was suppose to be in town next month part of the WWE tour and local radio was heavily promoting him to be the celebrity judge for a contest

Re: Pro Wrestler Chris Benoit kills family then himself

[QUOTE=chuckc;503145] Crazy f*cked up story....wondered if anybody happend to know why he would do sucha a thing[/QUOTE]

Evidently WWE's tribute -- which predated the details of the deaths being released -- including scenes of him embracing his family, so my guess would be "no."

Of course, when would you ever expect something like that to take place.

Re: Pro Wrestler Chris Benoit kills family then himself

damn dude.. yea i remember him from the old wcw and nwo crap... similarly, i was just switching through the channels yesterday night and saw him in a fight briefly... normally i hate watching wrestling but for some reason i kept it on for like 5 minutes... very strange =\

Re: Pro Wrestler Chris Benoit kills family then himself

Wow...WWE has been getting hugely popular over here for the last couple of years, I?m not really a fan but my kids love that shit and I know this guy pretty well...the guy was supposedly really respected inside WWE and supposedly a level-headed guy.

All these guys live their lives completely jacked up on steroids though, in order to withstand the pain from the stuff they do in the ring, and to be able to maintain good physical shape to perform almost every night. I wouldn?t put my hands in the fire for any of these guys? mental health...

Re: Pro Wrestler Chris Benoit kills family then himself

probably one of the few wrestlers worth watching anymore. R.I.P, imo.

Yeah, he was actually one of the very few who seemed kind of "real" there...no bullshit, not too gimmicky, just a great athlete and performer.

Re: Pro Wrestler Chris Benoit kills family then himself

sad news... i remember him from the short time i spent watching wrestling. maybe roid rage, who knows.

Yep. The fact that he spent those hours in that house with his already dead wife and son shows that the guy was one sick puppy.

[QUOTE] Notes from the press conference to address the Benoit double homicide-suicide:

Lt. Tommy Pope:

-- The Sheriff's Department received a call for a welfare check (from WWE) at 2:30PM on Monday. While searching the house, they discovered the three bodies.

-- Based on the investigation, they are ruling it as a double homicide-suicide. Evidence leads them to believe that Chris Benoit, likely on Friday, murdered his wife by asphyxiation. Sometime after that (probably Saturday morning), he did the same to his son. Then, sometime late Saturday or Sunday, he committed suicide by hanging.

-- There was no suicide note located within the house.

-- To his knowledge, Benoit was never arrested for domestic violence.

-- There were a lot of prescription medications discovered; they were apparently legal prescriptions. Anabolic steroids were among the substances discovered, but Lt. Pope did not reveal specifics.

-- He text messaged a coworker; the coworker received the message several hours after it was sent. It apparently contained something curious.

-- According to preliminary estimates, he killed himself several hours, but no more than a day, after killing his son.

DA Scott Ballard:

-- His "bizarre" comment refers to the timing of the various deaths. Based on the investigation, some time elapsed between each death.

-- There was a Bible placed beside the bodies of his victims (Nancy and Daniel).

-- There were no signs of a struggle; the wife was bound on her feet and on her wrists. There was some blood under her head.

-- Authorities have no idea about the motive.

-- There was no 911 call.

-- Benoit hanged himself with the cord from a cable-loaded weight machine.

-- There is no evidence of an intruder. [/QUOTE]

Re: Pro Wrestler Chris Benoit kills family then himself

rest in peace my arse.. sad story, but this fucker didnt need to take a mother and a son with him because of some messed up "darkness" he was living with.. get help. I'm sure he could afford it no?

Notice the dead look behind his eyes, typical of steroid users. I doubt he was doing much "thinking" at all.

Re: Pro Wrestler Chris Benoit kills family then himself

Check this out -- this just gets stranger and stranger:

[QUOTE]News of Nancy Benoit's death was inexplicably posted on Wikipedia 14 hours before the police discovered the bodies. This was initially reported on Wikinews and later on FOXNews.com. The original posting reads: “Chris Benoit was replaced by Johnny Nitro for the ECW Championship match at Vengeance, as Benoit was not there due to personal issues, stemming from the death of his wife Nancy.” The phrase "stemming from the death of his wife Nancy" was added to the English Wikipedia's "Chris Benoit" article at 12:01 a.m. EDT on June 25, whereas the Fayette County police reportedly discovered the bodies of the Benoit family at 2:30 p.m. EDT (14 hours, 29 minutes later). The IP address of the editor was traced to Stamford, Connecticut, which is also the location of WWE headquarters. After news of the early death notice reached mainstream media, the anonymous poster accessed Wikinews to explain his seemingly prescient comments as a "huge coincidence and nothing more."[/QUOTE]

:shock:

Re: Pro Wrestler Chris Benoit kills family then himself

This whole story is weird and sad. I saw Monday night RAW, and at first, did not realize that benoit had died. I then got on the internet and all the wrestling news sites were not available. I finally found out through AP News service about the deaths.

WWE dedicated RAW to Benoit on Monday, and by Tuesday afternoon had to backtrack because of the nature of the deaths. The deaths are really spooky

Re: Pro Wrestler Chris Benoit kills family then himself

doesnt he have an older son that wasn't there at the time of this??

Re: Pro Wrestler Chris Benoit kills family then himself

Never heard of this guy but I'm not surprised. Homoerotic tendencies are quite apparent with these dudes and his family probably confronted him about his sexuality. Sucks for the family because they were probably trying to help him and he got angry that he was "discovered".

Welcome back beanz, you were missed here on general yakity.

Re: Pro Wrestler Chris Benoit kills family then himself

Hey. Don't get me wrong. Being a family man I think what the dude did was bullshit. It's sickening to hear these stories. Some would say they would have rather him live and face the consequences but I'd rather the man dead then to stay alive because of our tax dollars. Screw the system and just kill most of them. That would definitely save us all some money.

Re: Pro Wrestler Chris Benoit kills family then himself

Re: Pro Wrestler Chris Benoit kills family then himself

I am not sure about this being so simple as roid rage. The 7 year old boy was sick, very sick, with no cure. That is tough, really tough to see your child in a state from which there is no way out, and knowing that there is nothing you (or for that matter anyone) can do for him, knowing that he will not lead a normal, happy life. I am sure that the boy being sick has left its mark on the relationship he had with his wife. There could have been fights about whose responsabilty the state of the boy was, stuff like that. I am reasonably sure that his wife could have put the finger on him, for say using some steroids. Then he could have snapped. I am not trying to acquit him, or say it is perfectly normal to strangle your son if he is sick, or kill your wife it she gets on your nerves too much. All I am saying is that I think there had been much pressure on him, which could have proven too much at some point, roid rage or not.

-Dave confirmed he used a form of the Crippler Crossface on Daniel. This is interesting since Bryan was adamant that the story was bullshit. Apparently investigators found marks on the boys arm and face that they didn't understand and upon watching a tape of a Benoit match and seeing the move it made sense. There were no marks on the neck. They just said it was a "choke" as to not further sensationalize an already sensationalized story.

-Dave said Bryan was closer to Benoit (he found his writing hilarious) then he was and that Dave hardly ever talked to Chris (while Bryan seemed to indicate semi regular contact). Thought that was interesting as we rib Bryan about getting all his sources through Dave but I never thought he'd have more access to someone like Benoit then Dave.

-Benoit got a prescription for the anti-depressant Zoloft at the doctor's visit on Friday.

-Benoit started going downhill after Eddy died because he lost the one guy who he could confide in and shared his problems with. Apparently close friends always knew Benoit had the same problems as Eddy (pills, etc.) and suggested Benoit seriously needed to see a therapist but no one suggested it since he wasn't the type to be open to that sort of thing.

-Apparently the death of Johnny Grunge hit Benoit even harder then Eddy since they were neighbors and him and Nancy fighting was somewhat common and he'd be the one to come over and defuse situations and make Chris laugh. After he died, Chris didn't have that buffer when things got out of control.

-Chris and Nancy had recently separated for a period of time, and Dave received a change of address form for an apartment different then their house (I believe Bryan mentioned he got a different address too).

-Chris recently opened up a new life insurance claim naming his ex-wife and his older 2 kids as the beneficiaries and refused to include Nancy or Daniel.

-When there were rumors of him leaving for TNA, Dave asked him about it and Chris was paranoid thinking Dave had inside info that WWE was going to release him. He apparently may have thought ECW was a demotion and the next step would be out the door. He was reportedly obsessed with establishing himself at the HHH/HBK level. He had grown increasingly paranoid that someone was out to get him and didn't let Nancy leave the house at night or Daniel to play outside and would take different routes from the airport home each time in case he was being followed.

-Nancy confided to a friend in wrestling days before the murders that she feared for her life and the friend told her to go take Daniel to her parents place in Florida (as she had done before when Chris became violent) but she didn't this time. Apparently she had a lockbox at the bank with notes indicating if something happened to her, it was Chris.

-Theory is that she told him she was leaving him for good and taking Daniel and that's when he snapped on her. Loved his son and when she filed for divorce all he wanted was joint custody. Theory is he killed Daniel because in his mind he couldn't bare to let him be alone without his parents and in his condition so it was a "mercy killing".

-Someone in WWE informed Dave before the RAW show that Chris had killed them, but others in the company were unaware but at least someone high up knew before the tribute show was put on the air.

-How's this for eerie. When Vince called all the guys in the ring before RAW to give the news, the stage had been decorated with a casket, reefs, candles with Vince's picture, etc. like a funeral. Talent was told to bring dark suits like a funeral to the taping. I'm sure that was a blast. Vince apparently handled it really well, told anyone who wanted to go home would not be disciplined but guys were basket cases and trying to think of some rationalization (carbon monoxide, etc.)

-Nancy visited Dr. Astin on Thursday asking questions about how she could raise Daniel on her own.

-Dave gave a description of the common profile of men who kill their whole families and it was eerily similar to Benoit (hard working, driven, experienced a loss, a few friends but no real support system, anxiety, etc."

-Said Chris was constantly anxious about something. When he was at home he was worried about wrestling, when wrestling he was worried about his family.

-Regal was a neighbor of Benoit's and Grunge and would have know about the home troubles so that sheds some light on his "tribute".

-Dave says he can't write a proper obit/career retrospect and doesn't know if he ever will.

Re: Pro Wrestler Chris Benoit kills family then himself

I saw another story today that suggested that the method of death for Benoit's son was his finishing move as a wrestler:

[url]http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2003560001-2007300340,00.html[/url]

[QUOTE][B]WRESTLER Chris Benoit murdered his seven-year-old son with his WWE finishing move, police have said.[/B]

Cops in Georgia are speculating that Benoit, 40, ended Daniel's life with a version of the Crippler Crossface hold the morning after strangling his wife Nancy, 43, to death. Later that day Benoit committed suicide.

The Crippler Crossface was a move Benoit used in almost all his wrestling matches, including when he beat Triple H for the heavyweight title at WrestleMania XX.

Police were originally confused by bruising on the young lad that wouldn't have been there had he been strangled.

Then an officer watched a wrestling tape, quickly realising that the marks on Daniel's body matched the application of a version the Crossface.[/QUOTE]

Can this story possibly get any stranger? WTF? :shock:

This is one sad twisted tale. I had awkward empathy to the guy, but that's now gone. I don't think it can possibly get any more sick than to kill your child with a wrestling move.
