Chris Benoit kills wife, 7 year old son and then self.

[quote name='Sporadic']Interesting, they deleted all mentions of Benoit missing Vengeance due to family issues on the replay of the ECW main event on ECW tonight.[/QUOTE]

Of course they did. You won't see a single section of Benoit, a single match of Benoit's, and nary a mention of Benoit in any future WWE product. It will be more scarce than the occasional "WWF" logo that escaped the scrutinizing eye of their video editors.
 
every news outlet wants to give steriods life in prison ignoring the thought that there was a large deranged man who plotted and killed because he was a nuttcase.

To me its giving chris benoit a break its taking blame off him and thats bullshit.
 
As if the situation can't get any worst, heres a weird "twist" I got off rajah who got it off ajc.com.

"As many wrestling fans following the Benoit case are aware by now, Dr. Phil Astin III - Benoit's physician - was arrested for having prescribed illegal drugs and steroids to several wrestlers and athletes.

An interesting twist to this story was reported today in an article by www.ajc.com.(Atlanta Journal-Consitution's website) The site reveals that Dr. Phil Astin, Jr. - the father of Benoit's doctor - had his medical license suspended for illegally prescribing pain killers to 14 patients in a period of time beginning from the 1970s and ending in 1989. At the time, he agreed to pay a fine on top of his 30-day license suspension, and to eventually follow strict rules and oversight with writing prescriptions. Though he eventually had his license restored, in 2005, Phil Astin, Jr. committed suicide by shooting himself"

Benoit news from the Observer.

Nancy and Chris Benoit were seperated, and had been since February. Chris had been living in an apartment in Peachtree, GA

Nancy was in severe pain constantly since her neck surgery with noted "surgeon to the stars" Dr. Lloyd Youndblood earlier this year.

Nancy put a note in a safe deposit box that area police are believed to be aware of that said if anything happened to her, it was Chris who did it.

As noted previously, Chris Benoit’s was becoming more paranoid about being followed, getting a pay cut, and even losing his job, even though the general belief is that Benoit had a job for life in WWE, even after his wrestling days were over.

Benoit’s paranoia had resulted in him increasing and mixing steroids, pain killers, anti-depressants (Dr. Phil Astin had just prescribed him Zoloft on Friday, although it takes several weeks to start working), and high blood pressure medication.

At one time, Benoit saw potential in Tough Enough winner Daniel Puder and offered to make him his personal protégé, but Benoit had found out that due to his $250,000 per contract, the WWE has going to cut him.

Benoit’s out of context “I love you” text message was likely sent to either Chavo Guerrero or Dean Malenko.

Believe it or not, Nancy’s parents live in the Daytona Beach condo that their daughter and husband Kevin Sullivan lived in for years.
 
[quote name='JJSP']http://nodq.com/wwe/185507786.shtml

According to the Observer, Benoit had recently taken out a new life insurance policy for himself, naming his ex-wife and two children as benefactors. Benoit also supposedly had started a new bank account in Edmonton in his ex-wife's name.[/QUOTE]


I am almost positive you have a 2 year period in which killing yourself would casue the policy to be null and void. After two years its a go but before that she wont get a dime.

Depends on the insurer. F'r instance, my policy has no such clause, though they have very specific rules that make it difficult to exclude your current spouse (should you have one) as a beneficiary.

Marc Mero is going OFF on Nancy Grace. He and Steve Blackman are on and he kept pishing Blackman to admit steroid use, which he said he tried in the late 80's.
 
Just saw Kevin Nash on Fox News. Heh, his demeanor was basically the polar opposite of Warrior. Very calm the whole time, and this weird chick with big eyes kept trying to rile him up.

Everyone has tried something in the late 80's. I was only 4 years old but I think I did roids.

Actually it might have been crack either way. 60s-80s = experiment time in the United States.

There are very few people on the face of the earth who look like bigger doofuses than Sean Hannity, but Warrior succeeds to do just that. His screaming, braying, paranois showed in that he answered every question as if it were a personal attack, rather than a general question about the industry. The serious nature with which he engaged Sean Hannity's playful "I'll take you on in the ring" banter was just embarrassing and resemblant of someone who never gave up kayfabe (ain't that ironic), and his avoidance of the patterned deaths of wrestlers over the years in favor of suggesting a clustering of individual bad choices just pathetic.

If nothing else, listening to him blather in that piece, coupled with listening to his old wrestling promos, should show that he is, in fact, the original Warrior, and that he never did die.

Any clips of Nancy Grace? I hate that fucker more than Hannity, and would love to see Johnny B. Badd give her what-for.

[quote name='onetrackmind']Nash was brilliant... that cunt on the other hand was fucking stupid[/QUOTE]

Nash showed how to handle those BS shows in a way that Warrior failed to - be factual, speak to the issue at hand, and don't take things personally. Nash handled things very well, and only introduced incredulity once that bag-of-hammers Hannity replacement suggested that Nash's credibility was poor because he was making statements and claims that don't coincide well with, in Nash's words, the "sexy" appeals of the "roid rage" angle.
 
It was nice of them to let Nash speak without interrupting him :roll: I hate how if you like professional wrestling you're put into a group in which you're a retard simply based on the fact that you're watching "everyone knows is fake." It's sad that stuff like this gets stereotyped, yet people buy Paris Hilton's trash on ebay and no one cares. Yea that was off topic but son I was on a roll...but anyway...I hate the media.
 
[quote name='Halo05']Nash should've powerbombed her.[/quote]

yeah i definelty wasnt expecting him too either but he came off pretty well. that chick on the other hand was a freakin idiot who needs to do her damn job which is to sit there and look pretty and not interrupt the 2 men from having a discussion. just show some gam jiggle the girls a bit and stfu. and i love how he called her out on her shit and the monopoly man had to protect her from making a further idiot of herself.
 
That's amazing that Warrior was giving one of his nonsensical promos on Hannity and Colmes.

HHHHHULK HHHHHO-GAHN!!!
 
I flipped on Fox and Friends this morning (I don't usually watch FNC, but when I scroll through channels it is one of the ones I scroll through) and Marc Mero was on and the reporter asked him if it was fake. Needless to say I changed the channel immediately. Why can't the media get over their fascination with professional wrestling and its status as real or fake? All it does is prove that the "reporter" has no clue what he is talking about.

Media are often the least informed of the shit they try to report.
 
The following is an exert from People Magazine's "Chris Benoit's Final Days" piece. (Issue dated July 16): Years before their 2000 marriage, Nancy was charged with aggravated battery after, according to her then husband, wrestling Kevin Sullivan, she came after him with a knife. She admitted holding the knife, but the charge from the 1997 episode was eventually dropped.

Odd
 
[quote name='GuilewasNK']To say the least.[/QUOTE]


It seems like two violent short tempered people lived together. I knew a couple like that in high school. They would get in physical fights in classrooms over the dumbest shit. He would punch her, she would punch him. They're married with kids now.
 
bringing the wife into the killer status makes few new situations.

Maybe she smothered the kid and benoit killed her. They can't really prove who smothered, can they?

Not now, maybe if they weren't so quick to wrap this up as a murder suicide. They could have looked forensically and saw who did what.
 
[quote name='Monsta Mack']I need to read up on the source again, but remember reading the same doc who supplied Benoit also supplied one half of public enemy and he died a few years ago.

Hrm here it is...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQDN9cs-3kg[/QUOTE]

A bigger wrestling nerd friend of mine mentioned this last night. Without giving it much thought, the doctor seems rather blameworthy, sure. If Johnny Grunge had been "fishing" for prescriptions, and turned away from pharmacies, then Astin has something to worry about. Nevertheless, it seems to me that a doctor can prescribe medication and also instructions. It's the patient who made the decision to take 120 Somas, however.

I'm not saying that the doctor is not culpable, as he may be. However, Grunge's responsibility is the one that is unquestionable at this point.

I believe they determined that Nancy had died many hours before Daniel, which rules her out for that one.
 
Well i think it makes much more sense to me for that situation, when all the wrestlers say how much he talked about his son and the footage of chris benoit and him hugging and kissing his sons doesn't look like a killer. From the stuff i have read about nancy she doesn't seem to be that good of a wife or a mother.

thats interesting since they mention her wanting him to cut back on wrestling and be home more could she have been taking out her frustrations on their son which what man wouldnt attack his wife/gf if they found out shed been abusing their son. as i recall theres a kind of mental thing where a parent hurts their child to get attention. its a stretch but if you look at all possibilities aside from just the basic which is chris killed them who knows what could have really happened.


also someone posted an article her about nancys past and how much she loved wrestling and she even sacrificed her first marriage over it ( mutually) and hwo they felt it was strange for her to suddenly quit the business to just be a stay at home mom.

I hope this means he won't be on Raw. :lol:

Truthfully, I don't think that it means anything - he'll still be echoing the WWE company line, and won't ruffle any feathers in the slightest. No different than when the McMahons were on Today and Good Morning America the other week simultaneously. I know that Cena =/= McMahon, but I don't expect Cena to say anything revelatory; he'll serve to rebut the ex-wrestlers claims that the wrestling lifestyle ruins people's lives.

Regal talking about Benoit:

The Daily Star in Great Britain published an article that alleged that Chris Benoit was working as a steroid supplier for other WWE superstars. With the large amount of steroids that Dr. Phil Astin prescribed, this would not be out of the question however nothing has been confirmed.

In the article William Regal commented on the entire Benoit situation stating, "Chris and me were the grumpy old men, making out the younger wrestlers didn't have enough respect for the business. We used to police the dressing rooms together, making sure they didn't leave any trash in the dressing rooms and stuff like that. But you'd only ever be friends with Chris on his terms. The only way I can rationalize is to say that Chris lost the plot. I know, I've done it myself, had blackouts and all kinds of stuff. I can only think the poor lad has snapped, killed Nancy and thought that his son, who had problems, would have to grow up without parents and he thought it was a mercy killing. I am hoping someone can tell me that so I can put it to bed. I'm going to remember Chris for everything except the last two days of his life."

Interesting "you would be Benoits friend only on his terms." Something happened to Benoit to make him they way he was. Be it how he was raised, or just a chemical imbalance.
