Official Discussion Thread - Chris Benoit and family found dead! R.I.P

[pooch]

I hope I don't sound too evil or anything...but...

I'm not about to look up to or raise up a guy who murdered his family. Seriously, everyone is praising Benoit, saying this and that about him. Umm hello? HE KILLED HIS WIFE AND SON.

It's funny how people are just accepting of this point, and only looking at the wrestling aspect of things. For the last time, I emphasize that he committed a crime, and a horrible act of murder. MURDER.

Sorry, but I will give no respect to a piece of shit like this. I respected him before, but I refuse to do so now.

I agree. This sick fuck is busting hell wide open right now. Anyone that would smohter his own 7-year-old child to death can rot for all I care. At least he saved taxpayer money by taking care of the execution himself.

Update (Jun 26th):

The Atlanta-Journal Constitution, while updating their coverage of the Benoit family tragedy, reported that Nancy Benoit filed for divorce and an order of protection in May 2003.

In the divorce petition, Nancy Benoit alleged that Chris Benoit, "lost his temper and threatened to strike the petitioner and cause extensive damage to the home and personal belongings of the parties, including furniture and furnishings. Petitioner is in reasonable fear for petitioner's own safety and that of the minor child."

A judge issued a restraining order against Benoit and barred him from entering the family home. Nancy Benoit asked the court to dismiss the petition in August of that year. The couple later reconciled, celebrating together in the ring following Benoit's WWE World championship win at Wrestlemania XX.

Ya seriously when I first saw he had died i was sad cause he was my first favoritte wrestler and the first PPV I ever saw was the Royal Rumble where he won. That sadness has turned into anger, at first like many of you i didn't want to believe this but the facts make everything very apparent. I feel this man, if you can even call him that, was a disgusting waste of space.Anyone who is cowardly enough to suffocate a 7 year child does not deserve anyone's respect and R.I.P should be removed from the title of this thread and everyone's signatures because he does not deserve it at all.

R.I.P Benoit

There is still no proof that he even did it. They know Nancy was strangled, Daniel was smothered, and Chris was hanged. Aything else is purely speculation.

Wow,to think it was 3 years ago where JR was saying "Chris Beniot's 18 year odyssey has culminated in a world championship".
Now its more like " Chris Beniot's 21 year journey has culminated in him killing his family and himself". Unreal
