This WWE Story Just Keeps Getting Worse
June 26th, 2007 by Evil Beet
According to TMZ, WWE wrestler Chris Benoit likely murdered his wife by strangulation on Saturday, the day he was supposed to appear in a WWE event. He then smothered his seven-year-old son in bed a day later. On Monday, he hung himself in his weight room.
Investigators in Atlanta are refusing to comment officially, pending final confirmation by the coroner.
Crazy, crazy, crazy.
And very sad.

To do such a horrific thing as strangling the woman you married looking at her face as she dies and then a full day later to smother the son you helped to create. Who had a full life left to live, I am wondering if maybe the juice that he’s been pumping into his veins has gone to his head. He must have gone insane. I would hate to think that anyone could do this in his right and sound mind. I am pretty confident that he only hung himself to save a huge trail and a prison sentance. What a selfish MoFo.

I can’t even imagine…the WWE should really look at this hard and be sure that if he was under the influence of drugs they use this as part of a greater message.
So many people look up to these guys…and very impressionable kids.
Thoughts and prayers are with his living family.

He was my favourite. Finding it difficult to believe all this. I’m confuse and truly sad.

they were saying on the radio that he poisoned them, and when the whole story gets out it’s going to be very bizarre.

This is mental, he was one of my favourite wrestlers back in the day. If this is true, what a nutter!
This is the first news story that has shocked me in a while its just a shame that he doesnt get to live with what he has done.
Condolences to his family.

personally, i don’t think he did it! watching him all these years and seeing what a great person he is makes me question this nonsense! over the years i have been able to see all the love and respect he had for his family! i don’t think he would ever harm them in any way…not even on drugs! anyways, he tested negative for any drugs in his system! so he obviously wasn’t experiencing roid rage! there is no way this amazing man could’ve done this to his family that he cared so much about!
