OT: RIP Chris Benoit & Family (WWE Wrestler)

[Saint John]

Didn't know he was Canadian. Hate him even more now. Fuck you, Benoit. Coward.

[piecesofeight]

"Several Atlanta-based law enforcement sources have told TMZ Benoit may have strangled his wife on Saturday, then smothered his son in his bed a day later. Investigators refuse to officially comment, pending final confirmation by the coroner on the cause and time of the deaths.

One source told TMZ that Benoit was texting friends during Sunday's WWE "Vengeance" Pay-Per-View program -- possibly watching the show with his son, who may have been alive at the time.

According to sources, Benoit then hanged himself Monday in a weight room inside the family home.

A police investigation is ongoing."

Him being Canadian had nothing to do with it it happened in the US. You are sooooo getting your ass slapped come Oct. LOL Canadians Rock!

A lot of different thoughts on my mind right now. So much crap happening rescently involving things I follow or used to follow. Journey, Brad Delp, wrestling, etc...
I always shake my head when someone, who didn't know the person except from the public image, says 'they seemed like such a nice/good person.
Excuse me as I jump around here with my thoughts...
Then we have Brad Delp, a man who sang about such positve things/things of hope was struggling so much.
We are learning what Journey is compared to the public image they show.
Maybe this can teach us all to help our children in not allowing them to look up to public figures so much because many times the image they show, is not who they are or how they feel. Let's not forget it's an IMAGE and let's not allow ourselves anymore or our children to get so wrapped up in fantasy land...'It's Just A Grand Illusion'
Many of these people who come acrossin a positive manner want to be an influence, but don't want to 'followed',because if you follow them, you are missing the point.
Enjoy what they create, enjoy what they do to entertain you, but don't get to wrapped up in trying to figure out who they really are. Many times those who create the most positive motivating things are going through hell.
Don't get consumed with the person, but let what they create or do inspire you. Or else, you or your children will be let down.

I wonder if steroids made him rage?

I was thinking the same thing....if you look at pics of him or even that guy Eddie Guerro early in their careers, both look like normal. Then they are making it big in the WWE and their veins are popping of their skin all over the place. Roids not only change your physical appearance, but mess with one's mental state as well.

One can't help but wonder..

Benoit has looked like this for a long while.

Here's a picture from 1999, when he was in WCW:

ATLANTA (June 26) - Pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son before hanging himself in his weight room, a law enforcement official close to the investigation told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

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."

"We don't know yet. That's one of the things we'll be looking at," said Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard. He said test results may not be back for weeks.

Autopsies were scheduled Tuesday by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Hey...I'm looking for ANY excuse to get spanked. Any takers?

[chf34jmac]

Yeah But I'm gonna nail you upside the head with a lead pipe you halfwit.


Oh and to be on topic - Benoit was a total dick for taking out the kid. I don't care what problems he had with his old lady, the kid deserved better.

Journey will be singing the National Anthem (Ross lead vocals) on TNT's Monday Night Raw the third Monday in July.

I have to chime in here only from having been part of some things simular to this in Fire/EMS over the years.

I had a grandfather shoot his grandson in the back of head while playing Nintendo and then himself because of "custody problems". The Grandfather died and the kid lived with some small systematic problems......Tradgic.

Also seen a few double murder, suicides over the days with families involved. Can't and will never understand. Could NEVER EVER hurt my kid. I feel bad when I throw the football too hard and it's hit's his chest wrong!!!!

My guess, Reports are he left the PPV in a hurry for a "Family Emergency".....My guess, they (Chris and his wife) were having marital problems or something to the extent and maybe his wife called and said she was bailing and taking the kid.....He went home with the mentality that if "HE" can't have him, "SHE" isn't going to have him and shot them all. That's is solely my two cents....

Mark Madden here in Pittburgh (former WCW host) who works for ESPN 1250 Radio is talking alot about the situation today on the radio and I have not heard anything that makes sense other than what I just said.....It really does seem the only possible explanation.....

RIP Chris and Family....Sorry you took the short cut Brother....

We'll have to coin a new term...Instead of saying someone went "postal", we'll say they went Canadian.

Good one Dave. I don't know Moonie, kinda like that one. Watch it, just might go Canadian on your ass!

....definately mean no disrespect to the Benoit family on that.

[chickpea]

I just pray to God that his little boy didn't know his daddy was the one doing that to him.

Gets more bizarre! Point #4, looks like he absolutely lost his mind.

Guys,

Just so you know these people were my friends. While it is hard to fathom a murder/suicide (I can't even type it), it is still a horrible situation. While I cannot justify any of it,I hope this story puts into relevance the whole Journey/JSS situation. While it may have been horrible, imagine if your very close friend is dead and accused of killing a family you loved.

It makes music and management decisions look like a walk in the park.

Not taking away from JSS or what he is going through...just being real.

Dave

I'm so sorry for your loss, Dave. we're here for you.

Again, I poiint out how useless any information from the WWE is. I do agree that people were quick to jump on the steroid band wagon. That's an easy way out. However, if people think that WWE isn't full of people who are taking steroids (even when WWE states that the wrastlers passed roids tests), then they are very mistaken. Just "pumping iron" doesn't give normal people bodies like what many of the guys in that so called sport have. Bulged out veins and blood vessels, looking like they were going to explode any second...

Remember that WWE is the same "organization" that was going to on Monday night, have a FAKE memorial service for their leader, in a faked death ratings ploy. NO I'm not saying this was about getting ratings, I already said it wasn't in my first posts. But they are about manipulating or even fabricating onformation to make "news stories" or to cover their asses when need be.

[nikki]

The sleaze sites are quick to exploit anything on this story. Now they plastering pictures of little Daniel Benoit all over the internet. I'm not providing any links because I'm disgusted by this. Does anyone else feel the same as I? Hasn't this poor little boy been through enough in life AND in death??
