The "Rabid Wolverine" found dead

[Ranger REG]

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?

You can view the video clip of the interview...

WWE is doing their best to disdistance themselves from Chris now. I heard they are recalling ALL of his toys and products from the shelves.


There is a reason he is a billionaire but the man has no heart.

It also really shows how much Vince cares for his "employees" - that is, not at all. Vince is an evil, evil man.

Umm...

While agree that VM is scum, I have no problem with this decision. If I found out that one of my former employees murdered his wife and child, I'd want to distance my company from him, too.

According to a few websites (some citing the Wrestling Observer newsleter), Benoit underwent a change this past year. Apparently, he suddenly became religious (which may explain the bibles near the bodies) as well as paranoid. He worried that WWE was planning on firing him. He wouldn't let his wife and son leave the house. Also, he would drive home a different route each day. All this seems to have happened after the deaths of Eddie and another good friend (and neighbor, iirc) Johhny Grunge.

And does anyone know when Benoit's son was diagnosed with "fragile x syndrome"? If that happened in the same timeframe, I can see it adding up to a nervous breakdown. And I'm sure steroids didn't help either.

Man, this story is so messed up. I still can't wrap my head around the idea that this was Chris Benoit...

 

[megamania]

Hard to believe it is anyone really. I have been out of the wrestling thing for a while now. I've seen how it has grown and become a very demanding thing to do mentally and physically. I personally would never want to be a WWE or otherwise kinda wrestler.

Wrestler's Doctor Surrenders to Authorities

http://www.abcnews.go.com/Sports/story?id=3338352&page=1

"Attorney Manny Arora said Dr. Phil Astin will face a single charge involving improperly prescribing medication.

...

Astin prescribed testosterone for Benoit, a longtime friend, in the past but has not said what, if any, medications he prescribed when Benoit visited his office June 22, the start of the weekend when the killings occurred. "

A little over 5 years ago.

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.

Well, of course not. Why would we, when the experts and news reports (based on info from said experts) have already been pretty clear on the matter?

I'm sticking with the qualified people on this one, instead of making stuff up.

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.

Good luck with that!

Huh. Just realized that Tuzenbach have not responded to his debunked theory.
