Lets look at things from another angle. Chris was a work-a-holic. It is fairly obivous. But not just that, he is a work-a-holic in a fake sport. I'm not saying that makes one crazy...alls I'm saying is that makes me question sanity. Especially when you look at how hard Benoit trained to put on fake matches.

Tho I'm not American, I don't know if this is a decent source, but nothing is on the news over here, but they say it may have been via "roid rage"

Being quiet and a loner is different being socially withdrawn. He works in a business where it is impossible to be socially withdrawn. What I want to know, if maybe in the past month or so, did he become socially withdrawn? Ya know, he was always kinda quiet, but then he got to where he wouldn't even talk to his closest friends. Maybe he stopped changing in the dressing room with everybody. Didn't travel with anybody else, that sort of thing.

Do you realize how many times Benoit could've actually beaten on Nancy in that time and ontop of that, she probably didn't report in fear of her and Daniel's safety? |

Yeh but she took steps against him on threats of violence, certainly she would have done the same in the event of actual violence occuring.

PWTorch.com has learned that one major media entity has received an email purporting to be from a friend of the Chris Benoit extended family saying that Benoit accidentally killed his wife in a domestic argument, then panicked and killed his son later so his son could be with his mother rather than grow up without a mom and knowing his father as a murderer.

You know every single one of them is gonna think back to try and see if there was anything they could have done...any behaviors they should have spoke up about. Still though, you can never anticipate something like this happening. Especially to someone that you've known for that length of time and spend so much time with on the road and stuff. That's the truly scary part to me. |

This makes me believe it wasn't roid rage...
Several reports have said that nothing was out of place in the home, everything seemed very ordinary. So in the fit of a roid rage he broke nothing in the home, didn't beat either of them, he simply strangled and or smothered them. Last edited by Mercury Bullet; 06-26-2007 at 01:54 PM. |

If its roid rage then Pro Wrestling may die and sports will be turned upside down. There'll be an investigation into things like who was Benoits dealer or distributer. And when they turn over a few of those stones, i'm sure more things will come out. More names. Sports star names.

Bret Hart speaks on Benoit's death
From The Calgary Sun: Members of the Hart family wrestled with the sudden, tragic death of Chris Benoit yesterday. Legendary wrestler Bret Hart had to stop and compose himself often when talking fondly of a man considered his brother and friend. "I don't know the details, and I'm not sure I even want to know," said Hart, just hours after learning of the discovery of Benoit's body -- along with those of his wife and son -- in his suburban Atlanta home. "He was like a family member to me, and everyone in my family is taking it real hard. "It's almost like reliving the whole Owen (Hart) death over again." At a young age, Benoit, an Edmonton native, became a standout among many wrestling prospects who trained in the famed 'dungeon' basement of the Hart family's home in Calgary. "Chris was always one of the good guys -- a straight guy and a hard-working guy," Hart said. "When you list off all the qualities of someone like Benoit, he had a lot of integrity and was a good, family man." "He was really respected and really loved by everybody." |

Over the span of 4 years, with the problems they've been reportedly having over the years. It only takes one threat of violence to lead to only one act of violence. It didn't have to happen 3 months after the initial incident in 2003. It could've boiled over into 2006. Remember? Benoit was out for a while last year. Plenty of time at home with the wife. |

I mean, he definately could have been beating her and/or their son. But if she took a stand against threats alone logically I would think she would do it if violence actually occured. BUT, that is still an assumption and not necessarily the case...

Let's not fall into the "helpless battered woman" trap here. Does she look like a weakling to you? I'm not saying Benoit couldn't overpower her on his worst day, but she does not strike me as a cowering helpless sort.

But, ya know, he might have threatened her again. And she might have responded with "That's it, i'm outta here." And he responed with "Oh no you're not". |

Benoit to me put the professional in professional wrestling. Hard work, class, actually earning his title shots, willing to work with AND PUT OVER the younger guys...
These events just go to show you how little we know of these men and women we spend countless hours watching and conversing about. Although nothing has been ruled or finalized yet, everything so far looks pretty damning on Chris Benoit. The murder of his son is what makes this such an atrocity. Terrible. Fucking terrible. I guess in the end it comes down to three people losing their life and a wrestling legacy likely being completely dismissed by history. Forget the Hall of Fame. Forget tearful wrestlers pointing to the sky wearing black armbands. Forget it all. Chris Benoit destroyed 22 years in 2 days and boiled his entire career down from what would have been pages upon pages of glowing reviews to one sentence: "the wrestler who killed his family and himself." Perhaps that seems too rough. Time will tell. Just sucks to see someone you thought so right turn so wrong... |
