Chris Benoit and wife found dead

[Mikey]

wow I remember his wife back in the late 80's early 90's as a cute manager,this is so sad.I don't know what could drive someone to do this to his family or her if if she did it

I'm pretty sure he's divorced from that wife----- and those kids are already grown up.

The news said he was divorced (with kids) and remarried.

[Customslab]

None of Vinces storylines (including his own "death") were ever picked up by the national news.

The one thing that stands out in my mind......
Last night on RAW one of the wresters mentioned how well behaved and respectful Benoit's kid was.
He would always use terms like "Sir" etc.

I dunno,
All 7 year old kids are hell raisers.
If a kid acts that "good" at that age, that makes me think he's afraid as hell of something.

Perhaps this incident was the end result of somethng bad that's been going on for years.

no some kids are raised to have respect

to me the thing wwe did last night makes them look like trash they should have waited to see what was said, don't do a show for a killer

[JDeRouen]

That's a little unfair. They had the airtime, they had to fill it, and they did the best thing they could possibly have done under the circumstances. If all this has been discovered the day before, I seriously doubt they would have run the tribute show. But you do what you have to do with the information you have on hand, and I think they made the right decision based on limited choices.

The whole thing is just depressing.

[Meule]

If the guy really did kill his kid and wife-------- I have NO sympathy for HIM whatsoever ...... drugs or no drugs ....

If it's true, the guy is TRASH ....... and should be remembered as such....

Amen to that

[Hulk]

I think he must have been whacked out on more than 'roids. He supposedly killed his wife on Friday, his son a day or more later, then himself on Monday. It would be shocking whether the guy was famous or not.

[The Toyroom]

The whole thing is grisly, gruesome and just plain disturbing....*** goes on with all of these WWF guys dying young is tragic. And if you notice, it used to be the 80s stars but now it's creeping up into the 90s wrestlers. You never heard of this with the old-old-school wrestlers like Sammartino, Backlund, Morales. Obviously some correlation must be made between these early deaths and the drugs/steroids still involved in the business, whether they admit it or not.

Oddly enough, a post I made on Metafilter.com was just quoted on the Atlanta Journal-Constitution web site:

http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/fayette/stories/2007/06/26/0626metfans.html

The media's started to pick up the ball and run with it with regards to the possible steroid connection. Not surprisingly, VKM is already on the defensive, issuing a press release about media sensationalism and speculation about the steroid/HGH connection.

thats one thing most don't understand about wrestling is how much it kills your body most of the guys over 40 or pushing 40 are on pain pills,roids,upers,downers,pot what ever make them feel good if they all had to take a drug test like they do in the summer games the o, 98.9 prob. would fell the drug test,this sport is prob. the hardest on the body more than any other sport.

Great quote on Metafilter Steve, you pretty muched nailed how so many people are going to feel about him. This is pretty much OJ Simpson, except he had the courtesy not to stick around.

yeah I meant the one that died and what she looked like back then,I don't know what his 1st wife looked like,but looks like she made the right call by leaving him and dodged a bullet there

I Blam it on the Woman.. His Wife probably pushed him.. as Women do. No offense ... to anyone. But add that to a Dude on Roids,.. watch out ! Just the Son thing don't make any sense... I hate crap like this,.. Either He did do it, or someone is very good at covering up stuff... & My boy is 7.. He has a bit of respect, because he knows what he will get if he don't, He is also a bit out of control at times, however quickly reconizes his place. I just wouldn't fathom,.. ever doing such a thing to him.. Just don't make no sense.. He always did seem a bit crazy though...

... Well I guess Paris getting outta jail is on the back burner for the massive news casts out there...
