The "Rabid Wolverine" found dead

[horacethegrey]

Welcome to the world of pro wrestling, where nothing is sacred. :\

Even Eddie Guerrero's memory I feel was tarnished. I just hated it when Rey Mysterio made it out that he won the title only because Eddie was watching up high. Then he had to get in a mock feud with Chavo over Eddie's legacy, which was made even worse when Eddie's widow joined in. Shameless.

If Vince and his cronies ever think of using Benoit's death in a wrestling storyline, I will swear off pro wrestling altogether. :\

A terrible, terrible set of circumstances...

I hate that it ended like this.

Strange Twist...

Benoit's Wikipedia entry was updated to include news of her death...14 hours before the bodies were found by police.

Something else I think is kind of odd...

One source said that one or two of Benoit's text messages said that his dogs were locked up in the pool area.

Another report mentioned that police initially had trouble accessing the house because the dogs were loose.

He could have let them out himself, I guess, but it just seems odd to me.

I remember that he was close to Brett Hart and his family

man, that's messed up for Bret Hart - first Owen, then the British Bulldog, now this.

Yeah, and for Chavo Guerrero. He's the one who found Eddie's body and the last one to talk to Benoit. AND the one who got Benoit's texts.

Two things:

1) It seems as though EVERYBODY (the media & all on these boards) are under the impression Benoit killed his wife & child and then killed himself. Did anyone ever consider the possibility that maybe his wife went insane, killed their child, killed herself, and then Benoit couldn't take it so he then killed himself? I'm just saying. Nobody's ever going to know the truth. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he wasn't responsible for both of the murders. Maybe one, but not both.

2) Will Vince McMahon break character to eulogize Chris Benoit? AFAIK, the WWE has never gone to the trouble of destroying a perfectly good limousine just so Vince could fake his death. Obviously, his plan was to lay low for a few months, not just 3 weeks. All of a sudden, the Benoit thing happens. Will Vince make an appearance next week? Or will he be a dick?

Given that the forensics investigators are pretty convinced Benoit killed them both, and that I rather doubt his wife bound herself before somehow managing to strangle herself, I'm inclined to go with the experts on this one. Sorry.

According to the Fayette County Police Department, the autopsy report revealed that Nancy was killed on Friday, and the child was killed on Saturday. So, that pretty much debunked the "insane wife killing the child then herself" theory.

Meh. Based on his interview with Today host Meredith Viera, he's trying to downplay Chris's steroid use and place the blame on Chris that led up to this horrific family tragedy. He didn't want his company to go through the whole steroid scandal all over again, whether someone in his company or not connected to his company offered Chris steroid which was found in their home.

But no matter how you look at it, it is still domestic violence.

 

[horacethegrey]

Yep. With each passing day Benoit's innocence seems more and more and unlikely. *sighs* Such a sad state of affairs.

And leave it to Vinnie Mac to dodge any blame aimed at him and his company. :\ Question though, what exactly did he say in that interview?
