I really liked Benoit back when I watched wrastling. Guess there's a steep emotional price for being so hardcore in wrastling.

Sorry man but have to agree this doesn't really make a lot of sense but perhaps I get his drift. He's probably just trying to be on the side where "since everyone is dead" it's pointless to just keep cussin' over it. He's still a man that could snap.

eeeh... it is a pretty big deal. there is a big fucking difference imo. between murdering someone and murdering your own child and wife. it goes against all human biological hard wiring and takes a certain pretty fucked up personality to do something like this. with or without roids. this action says more about him than what we've seen in his 20 years of wrestling. I mean shit, pretty obvious to me that a lot of domestic violence been going on in that house before this...

im feeling a bit mixed in my sympathies right now. on the one hand, here's one of the coolest wrestlers ever who gets mixed up with steroids and on the other the same guy kills his wife and son. there are no answers i suppose, only understanding.

Well, autopsy's been done and it looks like the wife nad kid was killed by asphyxiation and Chris then hung himself with a wire from his weight room. He and his wife married in 2000, She filed for divorce in 2003 due to domestic violence.

Yeah..

/avoiding the temptation to crack a joke about how the domestic violence was fake.

...yet the images of Benoit dropping the flying elbow from the top of the kitchen table won't get out of my head. Anyways. I was totally giving him the benefit of the doubt until now =[

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy

Steroids found at wrestler's house of death
Wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife, suffocated his 7-year-old son and placed a Bible next to their bodies before hanging himself by the pulley of a weightlifting machine, authorities said Tuesday. Investigators also found prescription anabolic steroids in the house.

WWE defending steriods (which is just funny to me, but understandable since the media will just run with the "crazy hopped up roid wrestler" angle).

Wasn't that kind of obvious? First thing I thought of when I read "family found dead", these kind of tragedies actually happen way more than one might think. :[

Anyways I have no idea who he was, but anyone who murders his own family sure as hell isn't worth remembering to me.

Although I wasn't familiar with this guy, nor am I with wrestling in general, I feel sorry to hear about his whole family gone like that.
Rest in peace

Detailed WWE/Benoit timeline
Written: June 26, 2007

Below is a detailed WWE/Chris Benoit timeline from Saturday to Monday:

Saturday, June 23, 2007

Chris Benoit was scheduled to appear at the WWE SmackDown/ ECW live event in Beaumont, Texas

3:30pm
A co-worker received a voice message from Benoit. The message from Benoit stated he missed his flight and over slept and would be late to the WWE Live Event. The co-worker called Benoit back, Benoit confirmed everything he said in his voice message and sounded tired and groggy. Benoit then stated, “I love you”. The co-worker stated that it was “out of context.”

3:42pm
The same co-worker was concerned with Benoit’s tone and demeanor and called Benoit for a second time. Benoit did not answer the call and the co-worker left a message stating “just call me back.”

3:44pm
Benoit called the co-worker back stating he didn’t answer the call because he was on the phone with Delta changing his flight. Benoit stated he had a real stressful day due to Nancy and Daniel being sick with food poisoning. They discussed travel plans for the WWE Tour of Texas with Benoit still sounding groggy at this point according to the co-worker.

4:30pm
A co-worker who consistently travels with Benoit, called Benoit from outside Houston airport and Benoit answered. Benoit told the co-worker that Nancy was throwing up blood and that Daniel was also throwing up. Benoit thought they had food poisoning. Benoit stated he changed his flight and he would be arriving into Houston at 6:30pm. Benoit told the co-worker to drive onto the WWE event.

5:35pm
Benoit called WWE Talent Relations stating that his son was throwing up and that he and Nancy were in the hospital with their son, and that Benoit would be taking a later flight into Houston, landing late, but would make the WWE live event in Beaumont.

6:10pm
A representative of Talent Relations called Benoit. The representative from Talent Relations asked Benoit what time Benoit was getting into Beaumont. Benoit responded he was leaving Atlanta at 9:20pm Eastern time arriving into Houston at 9:24pm Central time. The representative from Talent Relations advised Benoit that it would be too late to make the WWE live event in Beaumont. Benoit apologized citing he had a family emergency. The representative from Talent Relations suggested to Benoit that instead of going to the WWE live event in Beaumont, Benoit should take the flight to Houston, rest up and be ready for the Vengeance Pay-Per-View event.

6:13pm
The representative from Talent Relations called Benoit to reconfirm the travel plans with no answer from Benoit. The representative from Talent Relations left a voice message to take the flight and rest up.

So after he kills his wife and kid he text messages his co-worker and tells him where his dogs are, so he can take care of them...

he cared more about his dogs than wife n kid i guess

only know him from the Our Lady Peace song 'Whatever', but i'm guessing adultery, it usually is (at least from the stories you read about in the media) in cases of murdering your own wife and children

So many questions

In 2000 Our Lady Peace was asked to write a song for a WWE wrestler. I admit to being heavily influenced by martial arts but entertainment wrestling was never my thing. I knew very little about the sport. Our drummer Jeremy was more the wrestling aficionado in the band. Nevertheless one night in Toronto we met with a professional wrestler for dinner at a local restaurant chain. His name was Chris Benoit. Immediately I was struck by his appearance. Not overly tall but freakishly muscular and wearing a very large neck brace. He had suffered a few herniated discs in his neck days before and was on hiatus until he had surgery and was able to rehab. Throughout the evening we learned about Chris and about the sport. Chris was a purest and came from a true wrestling background. His technical abilities were revered by all who followed him. Above that he seemed like a decent, nice man if not a little tortured. Nothing surprising coming from someone so dedicated to this absurd lifestyle of injuries, painkillers, steroids and constant travel. We ended up recording a theme song for him in Seattle during the next few months. We would see him a couple more times at various shows on tour in the US and he seemed pleased with the song we wrote for him.

Today I learned through numerous emails and Myspace comments that Chris Benoit had killed himself along with his 7 year old son and wife. I think back to that dinner we had years ago and struggle to come to grips with the fact that this was Chris' destiny. Assuming the authorities are correct in their assessment, I can't help but think Chris must have been in immeasurable pain both psychologically and physically. We may never know the answers to why this successful man ultimately was unable to handle this world and in no way do I personally absolve him of any guilt concerning the death of his son and wife. I guess I simply feel sad and somewhat shocked that someone I knew briefly had such a terrible and tragic ending to their life.
