I am a huge fan of WWE. I understand that the whole thing is concocted drama (an alternative of our hindi melodramas) but still I enjoy the show. The recent death of Chris Benoit comes as a big shock to me. Edie Gurero’s death was also a big shock to me. Is the drama really getting into reality?
The 40-year old was found dead in his home having hanged himself on a weight pulley machine. It is believed he also strangled his wife Nancy to death, as well as his son Daniel who was suffocated.
The Canadian-born wrestler was unable to appear at scheduled shows this weekend due to a “family emergency”. After receiving a number of curious text messages from Benoit, WWE asked authorities to check his home in Fayetteville, Georgia where they found all three dead bodies, each having been killed one a day, Nancy on Friday, Daniel on Saturday and Benoit himself on Sunday.
The replacement of Monday Night RAW to the tribute show were made before the full facts surrounding Benoit’s death were apparent. Before Tuesday night’s ECW show, Vince McMahon made the following statement:
“However, some 26 hours later,” he said, “facts of this horrible tragedy are now apparent. Therefore, other than my comments there will be no mention of Mr. Benoit’s name tonight. On the contrary, tonight’s show will be dedicated to everyone who has been affected by this terrible incident. This evening marks the first step of the healing process. Tonight WWE performers will do what they do better than anyone else in the world – entertain you.”
Speculation is still circulating that the consumption of steroids by Benoit resulting in paranoia, depression and explosive behaviour (otherwise known as roid rage) were responsible for his actions.
Bold and italics are my addition. It calls for a huge debate, is the violence really getting on their nerves? What should the government do to prevent such belligerent sports? Well the obvious reaction of Indian government would be to ban it but then what about the entertainment it provides?

I also liked Chris Benoit. I however feel that the facts that have been released to the public are not consistent with him committing these crimes himself. I believe there was someone else involved. Too many things do not add up. I am not the only person who feels this way. Many of my friends and family feel the same way. We still are wondering why this happened as everyone is, but we feel that the facts that have been revealed are to suspicious and do not coincide with “roid rage” or him having done these horrible crimes. It’s obvious for anyone to see.

Mr. McMahon is not dead. That just a script write in for a publicity stunt. I can’t believe he would stoop that low just for publicity. Only Chris and his family are dead. May they all R.I.P.

Im really sorry u r gone but i hope u r doin well.u will always have a place in my heart.

Chris u now u no u didn’t have no sence dragging your wife and son into your death.Just because your u were having some ruff times don’t mean u had to kill yourself and your wife and son.But some of use had some words to ask u before u died.But it was to late.And always remember in some of our hearts u will have a place there and your wife and son to.R.I.P to all.
Briana 07.22.07 at 1:08 am
Chris u no that u didn’t have to drag your family into your death.Just because u were having some ruff times don’t mean u had to take it out on your wife and son.But always remember in some of our hearts u will have a place in some of our hearts.R.I.P to u and your wife and son.
Rebecca Garrett 07.22.07 at 8:04 am
I was reviewing the comments. I can’t believe that Mr. McMahon is turning his back on Chris Benoit. He was also effected by this. I am not excusing his actions, but no one knows what the circumstances surrounding his actions.
He will be missed.

Gonzalez 07.31.07 at 4:07 pm
Chris benoit was one of my favourate wrestlers. his death really shocked me, but this is funny …the way some people are commenting senselessly. under normal circumsences he wouldnt do such a thing, i believe some thing is not right somewhere. so the investigation should go on until the reliable source is found. let the press not relly on the immeadiate information unless they are hiding something. Sorry may his soul R.I.P

as far as im concerned benoit did not commet this hoorfic event i belive that someone was trying to keep him from the ppv event in wich case they where holding his famile as a tecnic but an accident accuried with the death of his wife wich i belive his son and beniot witnessedso to all the people that want to throw gas on a burning fire i say stop putting benoit in your jokes and saying that he iwas a bad father cause only the true fan of wrestling understand what kind of father he was we all know that he was a good man thank you for your time a proud beliver in that beniot and his famile where murredi just wish that the wwe would wake nup and relise it and let the man in the hallof fame cause no matter what he was a great wrestler and he helped make the industrie the way it is today
Vincent 10.17.08 at 8:13 am
okay anyone who trashes chris benoit (RIP) deserves to have there asses kicked
chris was a god man
if u guys wanna blame someone blame the son-of-a-bitching doctors
they’re the ones who prescribed the steroids for him
and mcmahon for turning his back on benoit after this
In other words Mcmahon and all the doctors are the ones that should burn in hell
and i know it’s a shame he brought his family into this picture
but reality check people steroids make u do stupid shit
so give the man a break and from now on no more trash talking him
i dont care if mcmahon wont say his name but as a canadian and an albertan i damn proud of everything he accomplished for the WCW and WWF/WWE
So go fuck yourselfs chris is still a hero
May he and his family rest in Peace
All the TRUE FANS miss you

tina mims 05.29.09 at 4:06 am
I am a big fan of benoit and after the pictures that showed how much he loved his family how can anybody accuse him of the crime same goes for investigators and police. It is easy to say he done it when you never know for sure bur why did his next door heighbor dissapear and Can not be found because she knows something and authorities should be finding her. also the fact that nancys ex-husband was from a satanic church. us fans as a nation needs to help make sure justice is served and the real killer is caught and revealed> please benoit is a good man and he needs to rest in peace. my symphony goes out to the first wife and his two kids and i hope they will do the right thing cause they know down through the years how dad was. i guess if benoit really was a killer he would have killed the dogs also and his other kids are still around think about it he can not be guilty he was a good man>
Varun 05.29.09 at 3:40 pm
chris benoit was a great wrestler, he never backed down from a fight and gave all the efforts in his every fight. And he fought bravely and honestly, he was a gentleman as far as i know (as a wwe fan). there are many conditions which could have led to this tragedy.
i am posting this comment after two years as i didn’t know much about his death ,but now also i don’t know much about his death but i always wanted to express my views for him.
i am truly dissappointed by vince mcmohan comment of never to talk again about benoit.this is ridiculous benoit gave his whole life for wwe and to entertain the audience,and now we are forgetting his whole life for the thjing which he might have done int hte end of his life. this is not right.
i am sure if he would have done it then he must be regreting for his doing,the point is he also gave his life in the prologue f death of his family.
since we all know mhe had some case with asteroids ,so if someone has to be blamed then it should be those asteroids and no one else,but on the other hand if we talk of asteroids then it was those chemicals which gave benoit or any other wrestler the position where he is present.only wrestler could understand this point.
so in the end i would like to say that chris benoit was truly the “RABBIT WOLVERINE ” . i respect him and i would like to say we should not forget him .
this would be unfair.

Chris didn’t do this, there is a very dark conspieracy against chris and his family, all these were done by another party. The police should find out about this, and Mr. Macmon, shame on you, when you see this matter is controversial, you turned you back. you need to unvell the reality you need to find out the reality. He is the one who made this WWE a loving program.
