according to a very reliable source, chris told them that he'd had an argument with nancy on saturday and struck out at her, which killed her. The force which guys like this hit at, I can believe. He then decided to smother his son to allow him to be with his mother because he didn't want the kid growing up knowing daddy killed mum, then he hung himself in his gym.
While I don't in any way condone what's happened, it is at least feasible. I'm pretty sure most people have at one point in their life struck out at someone else, and when that happens, things can happen that you're not prepared for. |

And where did you hear this? |

to quote a calgary news source
| quote: | Legendary wrestler Bret Hart had to stop and compose himself often when talking fondly of a man considered his brother and friend.
"I don't know the details, and I'm not sure I even want to know," said Hart, just hours after learning of the discovery of Benoit's body -- along with those of his wife and son -- in his suburban Atlanta home.
"He was like a family member to me, and everyone in my family is taking it real hard.
"It's almost like reliving the whole Owen (Hart) death over again."
At a young age, Benoit, an Edmonton native, became a standout among many wrestling prospects who trained in the famed 'dungeon' basement of the Hart family's home in Calgary.
"Chris was always one of the good guys -- a straight guy and a hard-working guy," Hart said.
"When you list off all the qualities of someone like Benoit, he had a lot of integrity and was a good, family man.
"He was really respected and really loved by everybody."
Bret's older brother Ross Hart, a producer and former part-time wrestler, further described the onetime 'Canadian Crippler' as respectful, polite and very humble.
"We kind of adopted him when he first broke into the business in 1986," said Ross, adding Benoit was a huge fan of Stampede Wrestling and idolized The Dynamite Kid.
He's been an outstanding mentor to the next generation of Hart family wrestlers, said Ross and Bret's sister Diana.
That's especially true of the last six months in Atlanta, where Harry Smith (son of the late Davey Boy Smith), Nattie Neidhart (daughter of Jim Neidhart), T.J. Wilson (Nattie Neidhart's fiance) and Ted Hart (Ross' nephew) had been training close to Benoit.
"My son Harry and the others have all been talking about all the great plans that were to come with Chris mentoring them," said Diana, the former wife of Davey Boy Smith. |
Whatever's happened, people like this, who knew them are always going to take it hard. Forget people making fun of it trivially, it will obviously affect a lot of people. |

What is it going to take for people to figure out that 300+ days a year on the road using a combination of both painkillers and growth horomones/steroids isn't exactly a winning combination?
Honestly - I'm shocked that there aren't people in the industry stepping up and addressing this issue more vehemently. |

Many families have sued Vince McMahon, and the WWE. But he has so much money, it's hard to touch him, I guess. He's a slave driver. |

It's not just Vince McMahon's fault - this has been going on since long before that douche put himself in front of the camera's or really had anything to do with administering the WWF.
It really does reach all the way down to the most fundamental levels of how the wrestling business works. They need a union. |

Here are details from a law enforcement news conference held Tuesday afternoon regarding what is now ruled as a double homicide/suicide involving Chris Benoit, wife Nancy and seven-year-old son Daniel in their Atlanta-area home:
X: Fayette (Ga.) County district attorney Scott Ballard said law enforcement officials believe Benoit killed his wife Nancy on Friday night via affixation, then did the same to Daniel on Saturday morning before hanging himself Saturday night.
X: Ballard said Nancy Sullivan’s wrists and feet were bound with tape and that there was some blood under her head. Ballard said Sullivan was found in an upstairs living room area. Daniel Benoit was found dead in his own bed in his upstairs bedroom. A bible was placed next to the body of Nancy and Daniel.
X: Benoit hung himself with a cord in his basement weight room.
X: Anabolic steroids and what was described by one law-enforcement official as “lots” of what is believed legal prescription medication were found in the house. A complete list of medications may be given to the media at a later date.
X: A WWE “co-worker” [believed Chavo Guerrero] received a text message on a delayed basis from Benoit. Officials declined to elaborate on what information the messages contained.
X: Benoit was previously arrested in the Atlanta area on a DUI charge but has no record of a previous arrest for domestic violence.
X: There was no suicide note left inside the house.
X: “In a community like this, it’s bizarre to have a murder/suicide, especially involving the death of a seven-year-old child,” Mallard said. “That’s what struck me the most in all this: There’s a seven- year-old little boy who’s dead. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to wrap my mind around that completely.”
“It struck me as somewhat bizarre that he would even be in the home with their deceased bodies all that time … I’m baffled why anyone would kill a seven year old. I don’t have any idea at all about a motive.”
X: Keep checking wreslingobserver.com for more details as they are available.
