Chris Benoit Continued...

[thatsmystapler]

The last Benoit thread got closed and I don't think it should have. Things did indeed get heated between two certain individuals. One feels strongly that an alleged murderer was given a tribute. Another just found out a personal hero of his is dead and may be a murderer. Who wouldn't feel emotional there? The two individuals should have been privately messaged rather than closing a thread on an ongoing story. Because of this, I started this new thread. Hopefully it won't get closed, as I do think this is a hot topic and one worthy of discussion.

As for the points addressed in the other thread, WWE has to act on the facts and not theories for the time being. Since no autopsy is being done until today, there are no hard certain facts other than a wrestler is dead. While I agree that a murderer doesn't deserve a tribute, I also agree that the WWE has to proceed as they would with any other death in the company until they know otherwise.

Other points of the story came across in the most recent Yahoo news article that said that the WWE actually sent the authorities to check on Benoit based on weird text messages, he had sent friends on Monday morning. This seems to cast doubt on the idea of carbon monoxide poisoning or even his wife doing it.

Given the speculative theory that his wife died first, it could very well have been a crime of passion. That could drive a person, no matter how good they are, to do things that no one would ever see them doing. And once that line is crossed, no doubt your mental state is thrown for a loop. The guilt becomes overwhelming. And that it why most take their life as a follow-up. As for his son, that is the most tragic of all. Maybe he didn't want him to know what he had done. But from the sounds this went on all weekend long. So I doubt it was strictly(if at all) an alcohol/drug/steroid induced incident.

Does anyone else think that it's fake? Wouldn't be the first time the WWE tried to stage something like this....

No it's not fake. Storyline deaths (like the all too recent "death" of Mr. McMahon) are not reported by the mainstream media, because everyone knows it just part of the show. Chris Benoit's death, and the death of his family, is sadly for real.

Mr. McMahon's death was actually reported by the mainstream media. But only as an entertainment story.

This is very real and by no means kayfabe.(a wrestling storyline)

Not fake, thats one thing they don't mess around with often (except this time with the Vince storyline). I heard once Sherry died they were debating whether to go on with it or not.

Autopsy results are in at 3PM Est....
Nothing worse then learning to hate sombody you love, if he did do it anyway.

Wow. **** WWE. Stuff like this is why I stopped watching it. I was a big fan but WWE is an evil company that does not look out for their employees. They ask so much of these people but do so little for them in return. Someone should have seen this coming.

[Bitter Babe]

Yeah they said something about possible roid rage. When are they going to clean that company up? Too many wrestlers have died of drugs, etc. These people work their butts off and don't get the proper treatment or help they truly deserve.
