Wow
I'm pretty certain that this is a first. On Sky Sports News, they actually have a heading saying: 'Wrestling Headlines' coming up across the screen. Surreal. |

Is possible that nancy was bound by the hand and feet and her and Chris where having really rough sex where he'd like put a bag over her head or just plain choke and he accidently took it to far and then went to his sons room and cried and accidently put a pillow on his face and fell asleep?

Man this is rough,
I'm really conflicted about this. Just trying to think how I would react if this were a family member who had done this, I just can't get my head around it all. Benoit will always be known as one hell of a wrestler, but a shit bag of a human being, it's such a shame. Such a dam shame |

I have come to this conclusion long ago:
I respected Benoit the wrestler, and I still do. I disliked Benoit the human being. I am torn between what the fuck and how? What happened was fucked up. I'll leave it at that for now. |

I know ECW stars are encouraged to take things to the extreme, but Benoit went a little overboard here.

So I decided to watch Raw from last night. Got through the JBL/Cole thing...chilling how the talk about Benoit being a family man that was all about his kids.

Premeditated or not, the guy was sick. Wonder if anyone noticed. I mean, for all the people who will talk about how great he was, did any of them know him enough to know something was wrong? This didn't happen overnight. You don't just become a methodical, coldhearted bastard in a weekend.

Shit. I was typing before that was posted. Looks like people DID know something was wrong. So why did it wait a year, until he KILLED HIS FAMILY AND HIMSELF?

his actions are kind of in keeping with a paranoid schizophrenic, and if he'd been demonstrating paranoia a year ago, it could have been developing over a period of time. And it's not something anyone can see in themselves. The world goes crazy, not you. Whether you completely detatch or not, it makes sense to you. You kind of NEED someone to step in. Which will never happen in wrestling. "You're like a brother to me, Chris, but I'd rather see you die than get you help." |

I was going to stay away from this thread, but felt the need to post one last thing.
For a long time today, I've been waiting for news that just hasn't come, saying that there was foul play outside the home involved, or that somehow Benoit had not murdered the both of them, or anything. ANYTHING that would take the blame off of him. The sad fact is, it hasn't come. There was no outside influence. No tire tracks. No signs of forced entry. His german shepherds were outside, fenced in the yard. 'No one' got in, or came out. Chris Benoit has done this, and yes, you cannot be sure until all the evidence is finalized, but admittedly, it does not look good, for anyone still clinging to any wish that they want to find some 'out.' I've been thinking about this alot for the last day, and only in the last couple of hours has it really sunk in. I'm washing my hands of it. No matter what happens, God have mercy on all of them, and frankly, I still can't wrap my mind around this. This is a tragedy for all the families involved, friends, and the WWE. Who knows what the fallout will be, but the WWE has handled this situation flawlessly and with class, as far as I'm concerned. I wish it could have happened some other way. |

But isn't this always the case with wrestling tragedies? They could have obviously been prevented, but never are.

So there were obvious signs of mental health issues, the fact that he is a private person and some what anti-social would also help hide them.

Any tragedy could have been prevented in hindsight. I don't think anybody was expecting this to happen.

I'm probably just in denial, but I can't bring myself to lose respect for Benoit right now.
I firmly believe that something took control of him, be it mental disease or anything else, and made him do it. Sounds like I'm looking for excuses, and I probably am. I refuse to condemn the man, when I don't believe he was of sound mind. |

After seeing that Text Message this is what I would like to believe....
Benoit hired someone to kill his wife....things got out of hand and the guy had to kill his child...Beniot comes home and discovers what happened...cant live with it....Kills himself... Sadly I doubt that any of that works with what happened and I really havnt accepted the other scenario yet....im afraid to accept it |

Just found this....
--------------------------------- In an interview with ESPN.com on Tuesday, Ballard indicated that the boy had needle marks in his arms. The district attorney said he believed that the boy had been given growth hormones for some time because the family considered him undersized. That was only one of the strange facts that Ballard revealed. He said that two text messages of note caused authorities to investigate the house. In one, Benoit told somebody he knew that his wife and son were sick. |

District Attorney Scott Ballard was interview on CNN Headline news by Erica Hill. Here are the highlights:
- Once again, Ballard said Nancy Benoit was killed sometime on Friday, Daniel on Saturday morning, and Benoit killed himself Saturday night. - According to the medical examiner, Nancy was found with bruise marks on her back which is consistent with a knee being placed on her back, bruising on the front of her body suggesting she had been pressed against the floor, and her neck indicated she had been strangled. - There is no indication Daniel tried to make contact with anyone after his mother had been killed. - There were needle marks in Daniel’s arm, suggesting he was taking growth hormones for quite sometime. - Ballard suggested that Benoit may have killed his son with a chokehold. - Text messages from Benoit indicated that Nancy and Daniel were sick (probably sent when Nancy and Daniel had already been killed), and one messaged indicated that the pets needed to be let out. - Dr. Alan Lipman, also interviewed by CNN, suggested that in the past, Benoit was breaking up the furniture in the home and threatening Nancy. |
