I'm beginning to think that the wife might be responsable to be honest. Perhaps Nancy had a mental breakdown, killed Daniel and then Chris and then killed herself. Chris loved his family, that's all I know. I know nothing about Nancy though.
I, for one, am not going to jump to any conclusions right now. It could have been any one of the two: Chris or his wife. We just don't have enough information at hand to base our judgement on.
I don't get it either. My dad and I watched the special they did for Benoit and after I told him what happened, he immediately said the first thing that I thought and my mom thought: accidental or not so accidental poison? They said there was no gunshots, correct? And if it is poisoning, maybe the concentration of it in the blood might have caused the two deaths that weekend, leading Benoit to (possibly) end his life? Iunno. What I do know is that this fucking sucks, and I'm going to miss Benoit. When Dean Malenko was talking last night, I lost it.
CNN.com: More... It's official. There is also an investigation going on to see if steriods played a role. "Roid Rage", maybe? My God, I cannot even form the right words.
If Benoit did indeed do this himself (we won't find out officially for another 2-weeks) then as a wrestler I will always respect him. But as a human being I will be disgusted by his actions. I hope to God it is all speculation and it comes back clearing Benoit. Leaving the wrestling industry as a murderer, and not the greatest technical masterpiece to enter the ring will be a slap in Benoit's face. But if he did do this, he deserves to be labelled just that.
I'm so upset about this, I heard about it this morning and I'm in complete shock. I can't believe it and don't know what to think.
Roids Ruled Out: Okay, if it wasn't roids then what the fuck happened? A bible by each body? This sounds like something out of a horror movie like he was fucking posessed by demons or something...
Severe personal family problems? Depression? Loss of Eddie still haunting him? "The business" getting to him? Who knows. It goes deeper, I'm sure.
This is insane. If he truly did kill them on 2 different days it would mean he had them trapped where they couldn't get out which explains the binding of the feet. What the hell.
The press release said that they think everything was on intent and not an act of rage and as far as they can tell Benoit had not consumed anything that would make him irrational. So in other words quite literally Benoit came home and decided to kill his family and then himself. The people I feel most for are his other kids. I can't even emphasise the degree of shock and devestation they must have felt when they heard the news.
I don't think it was intent. 20 years of steriod abuse, losing friends, extreme pressure, etc. can drive a man crazy. I'm not defending what he did, but I don't think Benoit went home and said, "Okay, I'm going to suffocate my 7 year old and strangle my wife". Not to mention the bibles by their body.
Also don't forget about Occam's Razor. "All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the best one."
