This is a quote from an article titled "The Last Days of Chris Benoit" by Michael Lewis
http://maxim.com/Thelastdaysofchrisbenoit/articles/5/9733.aspx
"Police were later confused by the bruising pattern on Daniel’s face, until one investigator saw footage of Benoit in the ring and realized that it matched the application of the Crippler Crossface. Benoit, it appears, took his son’s life as if he were an opponent in just another simulated fight."

I don't want to start a fight or get into a heated argument I'd just like to know from reading that quote and reading the article how someone could wish peace for Benoit or still have respect for what he did in the ring when he locked his own finishing maneuver onto his own son. I can comprehend, not at all condone but comprehend taking ones own life, and possibly killing your wife if she were having an affair, but to kill your own son with a submission move is disgusting. The man in my opinion shouldn't RIP, but rather rot in hell for doing that. What are your opinions after reading that article?

i lost all respect for the man when the news broke that he did it. what low life takes the life of there wife and little kid. how can you defend that? you can respect what he did in the ring but you know what that means nothing. the world titles and other wrestling accolades mean nothing. what means something is there were two innocent people who lost their lives.

Let's put the problem from his point of view...

One, his best friend in and out of the ring died and it was slowly festering. Also he had steroids and other drugs in his systems. Depression mixed with drugs is never a good thing. There was also the fact that there were heavy rumors that his wife was leaving him and taking their son with her. So you have depression, anger, anguish, and shock all while on drugs. Now we won't even get into the mental effects of being on the road away from your family for 300 days a year. By the time Benoit did this he probably had no idea of what he was doing to his own children. Think if he had survived he would get off by reason of insanity. Anyway because of this and that he was a great wrestler and plus it's common courtesy we say RIP to Chris Benoit. Another thing is after what he's been through he probably needs peace more than anything else in the world.

so you should disrespect benoit for something he didn't have control of. You should through away all his accopishments for something that he might have done at the end of his life. I don't think so. So this is what i say Chris Benoit R.I.P.

So motleycrue 0880, you're still breathing, huh???

Well, just the same, with RIP after his name. Respect. That's what makes a man whole.

I think you need to move on. That was a last year controversy and it's 2008 right now.

When the report said that Daniel was found face down, I wondered whether or not Benoit applied a Crippler Crossface in real life on his own son. The kid's facial bruising this lends some credence to that theory. That's completely insane.



Nonetheless, regardless of the terrible, horrible, mind-boggling acts he committed over the last weekend of his life, the fact remains that Chris Benoit was one of the most skilled technicians to ever step foot into a wrestling ring.



Should his soul rest in peace? That's a can of worms and I'm leaving it alone.

When i put RIP I put it next to Chris', Nancy's and Daniel's name. I try to remember Chris as a wrestler and honor him for his wrestling ability. I don't know what happened at his house on that tragic day, no one knows except God himself and the Benoits'. I will not pass judgement. Like I said I honor Chris for his wrestling ability and his fan friendliness and that is all because I don't know him personally. Although I have heard from various superstars that he was a great dad prior to this tragic incident which I believe because I witnessed it myself during his Wrestlemania title win.

I don't care for him anymore!



I lost respect for him!



I cryed my eyes out for days because of the whole Benoit thing!



Really why should a guy who killed his family rest in peace?



So if I killed my family should I rest in peace?



NO!



It's just really upsetting to see people on myspace with RIP Chris stuff!

if he really did that then no one should respect chris benoit the man. But i still respect what he did inside the ring and i will miss seeing him every week put on great matches. Yes what he did no one can forgive and no one should, but if you don't at least respect the years he pored into the bussiness then thats just wrong.

CHRIS BENOIT "REST IN PEACE" First, all the I haters will sooner or later redirect energy, a substitute for giving Love, 10% hate = 90% love, why hate, most Benoit haters are also Cena, Batista or something else haters! Second, I have been here answering since he departed, {go to my first answers, and find Steroid in Wrestling and in Benoit deniers} the bad I think of Chris is letting the Regement become mismanaged, then abuse beyond science, Nancy's neck repair and Son on Steroids are conjectured assumptions unsubstantuated seaking vindication, all relative to a wellness policy and Wrestling piers failure to address, the good was everything prior and his failure to flush the Steroids, Brett Hart and John Cena deny Steroids are a Wrestling Scurge in assistance to copy-cats and genetic jackhammer promotion, Please read and learn, legnth of My answer's gets thumbed down, and many best answers.

1. Raw XV was 14 years of great Wrestling entertainment including highlight of limousine exploding the failed Resurrection Storyline! The Son’s of Adam and Eve created wrestling, to-date it's been expanding / reinventing. Enjoyed Wrestling since Vince announced ringside Saturday mornings, on my black and white rabbit-eared TV before cable, following every match Vince Proclaimed "forget about it" his fan base extends Worldwide. Yearly non PPV Tribute to the Troops relates, both his and peoples fearless Proclamation of Reverence! Equating greatness and directing faults Germane, Credit relates from his first day to today, for all the Advancements and assisted Advancements, including lacing-up boots, Icon extraordinaire, still taking bumps.

2. Personal Best Wrestler's ever {1,2,3, is Vince, Andre' and Benoit.} First Vince Discarded Andre’ the Giants earned Treasure, his Perceived Legacy, lifetime undefeated, his hogan losses were with 24/7 back pain retiring, Vince Trucked him into Ring so he could get-over giving-back, now Deleting Premiere Superstar Chris Benoit's History, following Vince's Forte' alongside Vindication. Historically Superstar's and Icon's have been discarded like yesterday's trash, outside Contract Wrestler's are isolated and unprotected, slight improvements have been recently notated, what you get remaining, is quick-matching Wrestler's jobbing without heart?

3. The Void' Benoit's departure created on the match card alone, was and is, nearly irreplaceable, surely requiring many laced-up disgruntled Wrestler's to address the Vacuum he left, highlight Benoit's amount and duration of his matches to find standard was 20 minutes minimum, always excruciating, showcased each week, laced-boots every show, top carding PPV's and house-show appearances, unequaled regardless of Venue, beyond duplication, self-sacrificing, in truth with Steroid’s accreditation.

Fans recall his match skills, toughness, wins and devotion.

Wrestlers recall his toughness, eagerly jobbing to get-over their match skills, extraordinaire.

By tally {Obsessed with Wrestling now Online World Wrestling = oww.com} Benoit overworked nearing 350 days per. Year after Year, many/most WWE Wrestler's overwork 300 days per. Year, TNA's addressed the overwork problem, resolving.



From WWWF to WWF to WWE Here are time-lines relative.

4. With Hulk Hogan, Ventura and Piper, Vince faces Congress’s inquiry into Steroid Scourged Wrestling Industry.

Hogan testifies 80 % of Wrestlers use Steroid’s and Vince on occasion supplied his free for the taking.

Vince’s personally found Guilty by the F.D.A. of Supplying Steroids to Wrestlers, WWF gets trial by jury.

5. Vince convince the worlds listeners who lack kayfabe understanding, he's started, and is committed to Steroid test Wrestler's. Vince argues to the Fans, People and Press, Wrestling {gimmick} is Entertainment {Story-lined = Kayfabe} not a Sport {Fake = Scripted}.

WWF Steroid trial went directly from accusation to jury, the only Defense entered was that Wrestling is Entertainment not Sport, so Case is Mute.

Prosecutor used the words Wrestling and Sport in the Charges, sent to Jury.

Jury stated after the Trial the Case was Strong but the paperwork Itemized Sports, forcing them First and Foremost, to acknowledge that Wrestling is Entertainment.

Acquitted Vince walks away, discarding his neck-brace, free from the Regulators and Sports Venue Tax burden on tickets selling prices.

6. Vince creates his USFL Football League with NBC. At some point WWF/WWE entered the Stock Market, regulated reports are required quarterly, oversights lent to Congressional Regulation and bi-laws {Federal, State and Local} Vested Regulatory by default, contradictory paperwork and filings unsupported by Venue Tax required of Sports, leaving Wrestling self-regulated, posting quarterly reports.

7. Timed! Baseball and Wrestling suspending Steroid testing, Football scales back, but keeps test enforceable.



8. Vince's coined the "genetic jackhammer" and Hogan’s 80% estimation of Wrestlers being on Steroid’s increases, leaps and bounds!

9. Owen Hart Dies in/ring or transit to Hospital, from 50' to75' fall. Icon’ {Refuses to Work, in Ring, for Vince, to-date} Sting’ coined the Rafters to Ring flying entrance, Owen stunt was Tried and Preformed as a Caped Recreation, Arena was dramatically higher, larger Cape worn entangled rigging, quick release failed he landed "Rope to Turnbuckle" area, Fear of stunts revisions {for one Chyna} and Heights {all} was well Conversed {Brother, Icon’ Brett Hart blames touch release} many missed the Travesty watching teleprompter in dim lighting, Crowd cheered Ovation as Owen’s Stretcher was exited. Live PPV only showed Owen's Ambulance's departure, “Kafabed” for being another Wrestler's emergency, disputed with Vince in Canada at Owen’s Wake.

10. Wrestlers related to Vince, that Owen's Autopsy report warrants corporate intervention, Heart Muscle protection, Vince resumes Steroid testing, few Suspended or fines.

11. NBC backs out, Vince supports League then USFL Football closes down.



12. On Raw while kayfabing storyline feud, Benoit' gets fighting mad with best friend Eddie', Airing words similar to {You've been told, to resume will kill you!}

13. Eddie's found Dead by cousin Chavo' with stockpile of On-line Steroid's near-by.

14. The WWE begins new Wellness Policy Steroid enforcement, few Suspended or fines.

15. Deceased, September 2007, Extreme flying head-butt'er, Dewey Robertson in interview promoting his Life after Wrestling book "The Missing Link" about how Steroid's, Scourged his body and livelihood, state's "it's a shame that Eddie was forced to continue, to take Steroid's in order to keep his job!"



16. January 2007 Chris Benoit's home helping Nancy recouping from Neck reconstructive surgery, his Neck surgery recorded his only actual off-time, extreme dependency on top-carding, overworking, relating to family's Year after Year suffering, {Wellness Policy demanded Steroid Withdrawal compliance, health was misnomer, Name-plated} Nancy requested Chris reduce schedule, trade/transfer was transitioning to accommodate.

17. Also January 2007 News reports of On-line Steroid's traced from Eddie to Angle {was WWE now TNA}, Orton, Edge and Undocumented Masked' “American and Gangster tattooed,{Blood in Blood out} ” Icon' Giant killer Rey, with more Wrestlers Names to be revealed.

Steroid's in wrestling investigation encompasses all Sports, Bodybuilders, Police and Firemen, including Congressional investigation of Olympics with Baseball's second review of past reviews.

Congress is Naming and Sports are suspending, on-going.



18. Chris Benoit' restocks and display's Steroid's then Kills Wife Nancy, Son Daniel and Self. Assumptively in part, for a change the Steroid Scourged World reason.

19. Vince deletes Benoit's History, calls him a Monster.

Lying Cheating Steeling book’ and Sex Drugs Videotape book’, exposes Vince’s inter-workings, only dependents praise, some openly join his Kiss Myass club, Vince’s dysfunctional family’s legendarily exploited, beyond the realm of Storyline promotion. Of course Storylines are gimmicks Kayfabe, but failed Presidential run became Private Spirit-squad Religion, McMahonism once gotten-over transitions reality into Blasphemy, Resurrection gimmicks reinventing.



20. On CNN remembering Benoit’ John Cena’ and Brett Hart denied the Wrestling Industry’s scourged with Steroid and Substance abuse, or that Chris Benoit was overworked.

21. Report's reveal Benoit' was aware of being linked to the On-line Steroid Investigation.

In-time massive Brain Damage and Brain Stem Damage was confirmed, also, his journal relates Depression, Dementia, Delirium and unnaturally talking with Eddie.

22. Congress sets September first, deadline for the WWE to address Wrestling’s Steroid Scourge. Name’s to be released.

Vince in the final hour states on-line, that he Suspended NINE Wrestlers released one with more expected.

Later claims Barney Fife like harassment.

23. Congress feeds Names, Dates and Id's Drugs to Sports Illustrated and On-line Wrestling Spoiler informer’s, reports of 10, 11, 12 and 13 Wrestler Suspension's. Quoting the WWE Spokesman' Gary Davis the Wellness Policy has three step 30 day, 60 day, fired, Policy!?!

Suspensions are unpaid leave of absence with Contracts Tabled for revision before returning.

24. Second week in September, Congress Invites the WWE to set investigation guidelines, previewing chaired attendance, Carlito’ trims Afro.



25. CNN Death Grip "the Steroid Scourge in Wrestling" reveals Suspension Policy's actually four steps, including first time Warning and Suspensions for detected THC {weed} revised September 2007, to unlimited $1,000.00 fines.

Cena's interviewed for clarification of his remembering Benoit, denial that Wrestling’s Scourged with Steroid and Substance abuse. Asked directly if he used Steroids his reply was "NO" but {CNN edits his live reply, omitting the "No" posts it’s entirety on cnn.com} challenge made to detect his Steroid use was aired.

CNN “the most Trusted name in News” for Industry or Man to Proclaim unquestionable dominance, wanton disregard and delusions of grander is assured, evidenced by McMahon like Vindictiveness, Goliaths self-targeting. Also, Vince and Linda McMahon Interviewed!

26. First week in November as promised the WWE began Naming Wrestlers that failed Wellness Policy test, {Steroids} Two Named, one was in his debut month, the other was a mid-carder at best, to-date that’s it, for TV Stars.

Clarification of Nine Suspended with tally, is wanted to prove WWE adherence, not Identification, few lack enhancement damage.

27. Booker T’ Quits, goes to TNA, claiming he took the fall for all the Headlining Superstars and a few mid-carders.

Truth is his Retirements destined, Third Test Positive, if he serves his Suspension and Steroid problem remained, future is nonexistent, 90 days no pay, return {contract revision} and one strike, after 17 years, gone!

28. The WWE skirted all Headlining Superstars as reported by Booker T’ some although Named, were coveted from the fan-base by injury time-off like Chavo, Rey, Edge and Orton. Two challenge Steroid’s detection Cena and Batista.

Two claim Management privileges HHH and Vince himself.

29. This Monday Vince kafabes insanity gibberish, family enterprise Retentively, then on Tuesday, Congress, Steroids, Baseball, Commissioner and Players, day one, soon to resume January 15, 2008.

Baseball claims, Oil based Steroid's were detectable in body fluids, but new Water based Steroid's covet body fluid detection.

30. Steroid's directly degrade the Heart Muscle and internal organs, History of Steroid use is related on X-rays and body scans!

Person claiming never to have used, needs only to pass Independent Examination, more than body fluid tests, but Equates only to detailed in Hospital Examination, Also, Steroid withdrawal requires Hormone replacement to preserve sexual identity, Monitored legal Prescribed Regimented Steroids, without the enhancement, leaving a paperwork trail.

31. The attention grabbing tally of Deceased Wrestlers, Marc Mero’s squared-off against, even if Owen, Andre' and more are edited out, still compiles more than a hundred to Young to die Wrestlers. His goals fighting Adolescent Wrestling fans and Adolescent Bodybuilders Steroid use stands merited, centered against the Steroids piloted by The Genetic Jackhammer, not the Wrestling Industry, worldly ramifications assured.

32. Understanding must be Lent all unique levels of extremes relative to the Wrestling Industry’s bumps. Steroids, Pain Pills and GHB {Ecstasy-date rape drug} all accentuated by the WWE road/work Schedule, Steroids extreme equates up-to 100 times more than ever tested by Science. Pain Pills equate up-to 100 Pills a day. GHB equates to mindlessness extremes.

Steroids are a cocktail timed Regimented, mismanagement equates if blended with Caffeine, Alcohol, Drugs or other Steroids improperly, guidelines are Voluminous, every advanced stage compounds difficulty tenfold, extreme use is uncontrolled abuse. Rage called Rage/roid is sudden uncontrollable Violence at individually select levels, from none to worst cases reaches extreme family devastation.



33A. Conjecture! Baseball's Commissioner's Replacement must be mandated, with Steroids an unfair advantage highlighted, and then wrestling faces Congress.

33B. Conjecture! Congress must highlight wanton disregard, abuse propagation and malicious endangerment of populous by media monodist, at Vince McMahon, theirs no chance for a mandated transfer to allow the WWE profit, it would be circumventing.

33C. Conjecture! Congress must use its power, directed at the media airing Wrestling shows for the past performances uncensored disregard that propagates Steroid use to youth and Steroid abuse.

Limited to damage control fine's, costly or instantaneously product will revert to what’s been tried and true copycat style.

Closure resolve's needed without watchdog duty.

33D. Conjecture! The WWE must be sub-classified as an Entertainment / Sport, Paying Venue Taxes, requiring retirement, long-term disability and workman’s compensation following OSHA guidelines, Wellness Policy revised!

33E. Conjecture! TNA must be sub-classified Taxed, with guideline revision and report method directive, following OSHA guidelines.



34. Vince Renamed Wrestling Sport / Entertainment when the reverse was true, Sportive was coined in the 1920s.

Best would be "Entertainment / Sport” Venue Taxed and Regulated allowing OSHA, beyond Arena’s in-house OSHA, Retirement and Wellness Policy reform with Workman’s Compensation and Long-term disability.

35. WWE is the dynasty, including disrespectful privatized HOF inductee control. TNA follows lead. Historically for TNA to establish all encompassing revisions, advantage would have been surrendered. Today their needs expansion, first duplication States away, then reestablishment of original home arena.

Vince has acquired all worldwide competition, but to use his own words “controversy sells,” TNA is needed to feed and stoke the fuel, absent of revenge TNA’s product develops the following, shared by the WWE in compliment.
