[swiss tony]

i have more chance of making it into their hall of fame. here's my tribute to benoit - you're a fucking piece of shit!:mad:

[stubbornforgey]

Its sad to say the least ..but the ppl who should be hanging thier heads in shame are the wrestling confederation and the fans.
He took steroids to perform and to keep his body all muscled toned and strong for his them.
This is whatr happens when thousands of ppl sit and cheer for an unkown guy becos hes deemed a good guy in the ring..
Well fuckit..!!he peformed like the circus clown u all made him out to be and he suffered..through depression..trying to keep up with the demand.
and who always ends up paying the price..
the wife and kids and the fallen hero himself.
So what do his many fans do ..??sit there and go tsk tsk tsk.

At least wait for the tox report... I wouldn't think "roid rage" would last over a whole weekend. It didn't seem like a rage, it seemed more calculated. Nowitski was trying to get them to check some tissues in his brain which could have been damaged due to the constant abuse he took, a similar condition caused an ex NFL player to commit suicide. Either way, I applaud and celebrate the wrestler while for the moment I have nothing but disdain for the man's actions. As for you Stubbs... so we should have no physical entertainment? Does that mean we should all stop watching sports, wrestling, UFC, and anything that demands that a person be in top physical shape? You blame the fans?? He wasn't a powerhouse or a brawler, he didn't NEED to be big to be the great technician that he was. What about actors? They get paid craploads of money and a lot of times fall victim to drugs, is that our fault? Is it the fans fault that Chris Farley, River Pheonix, or John Belushi died? What about Janis Joplin, Bradley Nowell... the list goes on and on. How about you blame yourself while the rest of us blame the man who KILLED HIS FAMILY. My opinoin is he was still a good man until the end. He did a lot for kids and a lot for chairty. His wife and him were probably arguing and he accidently killed her, didn't think he could handle a mentally retarded child by himself but didn't want his kid to grow up without parents so he killed his son and himself. If he hadn't killed himself he'd go through a long trial, get put in a posh prison for the rich, and probably get out early. Personally I hope Nowinski is right.



"Nowinski is trying to persuade the coroner to allow a brain exam to look for neurofibrillary tangles in the brain's cortex. This has been refused in the past; however Nowinski has previously been able to link the suicide of NFL defensive back Andre Waters to concussion induced depression based on forensic work done on Waters' brain matter. "Part of me hopes there was something wrong with his brain," Nowinski told the Times. "The Chris Benoit I knew was always more concerned about everybody else's well-being than his own.""

From what the news has been saying he used a wrestling hold on his
7 year old son Daniel in his bedrom ( the crippler crossface and strangled
him), he was also mentally retarded and had been giving him some kind
of growth shots, there was needle marks on his arms. his wife's
hands and feet were tied together and she was strangled, she was in
the den or family room, and he hung himself on his weight set in the
basement. they said he killed his little boy on friday, his wife on saturday
and killed himself on sunday, they were found on monday. they said he
text messaged someone from the WWE but don't know who, and said
his family had gotten food poisoned, and his son was spitting up
blood, and the pets were inside and sick. so I don't get these people,
I just don't understand. I just wonder what some of his wrestling friends
(ric flair, arn anderson, dean malenko, edge, chavo guerro, some that he
was the closest to are thinking now). it's just horrible. so anything esle
going on.

There was something about Chris that would always creep me out.

I'd like to see the article that said he used the Crippler Crossface on his son. Fox News? lol That's a load of bull. He suffocated him is all i heard.

There are still people supporting this guy after what he did, blaming the fans and steroids and anything else. The fact is, he went f'ing crazy. No drug induced rage would last over two days, and since he killed his wife and son on seperate days I'd say they need to look deeper. I suppose he was probably depressed. Boo hoo, my poor $900 000 home.

The article said there were no bruises on his son's neck and he "may have used a chokehold". There's no evidence and they were NOT talking about the Crippler Crossface (the crossface if used as a real move would cause a lot of trauma to the neck and could dislocate an arm easily). The article also cites the fact that he visited his doctor just before the weekend and had been fighting with his wife about the care and education of their son. Just more speculation...

Since we're just throwing out random crap: Chavo did it for the push, taking out Eddie didn't work and if this doesn't Rey's next...

I don't think that's a very fair assessment at all. WWE issues random drug tests to it's wrestlers and none of the fans were telling him to put drugs in his body (If that turns out to be the case). The anabolic steroids found in the home were for his son, who had physical disabilities and needed growth hormones. Benoit passed a drug test issued by WWE in April of 07.

If he performed like a circus clown, it certainly wasn't any one of the fans that was making him do it. It was his own desire to entertain. How can the blame be turned to the employer (that issues drug tests) or the fans (that simply enjoy the show)? This dude murdered his wife & kid on his own. The fans and the WWE had absolutely nothing to do with that.

Very well said B.

too soon for jokes?
I'm kind of shocked I haven't heard any yet...and they're bound to be really unnerving.
