Chris Benoit and wife found dead

[BlackKnight]

Hey Now ! I was in noooooooooo way try to justify his actions, & lable HIM as the victim... I was only merly trying to get inside his head. Thats All. Sorry if I implyed something I meant not to.

[toys2cool]

Blacknight you can't be serious can you? You blame the victim for being Murdered? If he couldn't handle her or whatever you think caused him to snap because of her, he should have left her... NOT KILL HER and then his own child... The fact that his child was killed shows me it wasn't because of something she did.

I think this is sad for the child and the wife. If he did Kill them he's Scum.. What kind of person kills their own child? Or anyone else for that matter.

I agree,there's no way you could blame her for this.I mean I don't know what she did,but I doubt it was enough to kill her.I get into crap with my wife all the time and I've never even had that thought cross my mine.I've had and seen friends in roid rages,and I don't think those are enough to make you snap and kill your wife and kid,obviously he was a disturbed individual and it's a shame no one noticed and were able to get him the help he needed.I just hope he left some sort of note or something explaining his actions

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.

Thanks, Paul. As terrible as it sounds, I agree with the "courtesy" sentiment. By killing himself, Benoit became less of a sociopathic monster like O.J. and more like a deeply troubled human being.

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...

He could have walked. If things were that bad at home he could have left.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
