used the lat pull pulley prolly

6/26/2007 3:27:15 PM

yeah that's what the said. hanged from the pulley on some of the equipment

6/26/2007 3:28:17 PM

i was discussing this with my dad at lunch and his view was that if he caught his wife in an affair don't be suprised if another body somewhere in that ATL area is discovered in the next week. Pretty crazy

6/26/2007 3:29:18 PM

def. had steriods there too...prescript from a doc too

6/26/2007 3:30:34 PM

^where are you getting that from? straight from your ass??

6/26/2007 3:32:42 PM

^fox news dumbass...turn to it

6/26/2007 3:35:53 PM

that explains it

6/26/2007 3:36:33 PM

Dave Meltzer on his site said he'd be on Fox News at 7pm to talk about it.

6/26/2007 3:37:47 PM

^also with sheppard smith

-hanged himself with a weightlifting pulley(prolly lat pull or those cross cable pulleys...my guess is lat pull)
-had steriods
-both bodies had a bible next to them(son and wife)

what else am i missing?

6/26/2007 3:39:05 PM

The missing piece is a crazy-ass wrestler.

6/26/2007 3:42:34 PM

ROID RAGE RAAAAAHH

i doubt it was roid rage. i mean, the dude bound his wife at the ankles and wrists. then waited the night and killed his son in the morning. then put a bible next to their bodies. talked to WWE officials telling them he wouldn't make it. then hanged himself. definitely doesn't sound like he went on a rampage

6/26/2007 3:56:25 PM

next week on Raw i fully expect Benoit to walk out to the ring with Rick Astley

6/26/2007 3:58:18 PM

^ Or Eddie... LATINO HEAT

6/26/2007 4:07:31 PM

6/26/2007 4:12:52 PM

^ I'd probably start watching wrestling again, especially if he offed someone right there LIVE in the ring. I'm thinking a decapitation.

yeah, I'll definitely start watching again for at least a month.

6/26/2007 4:15:05 PM

the smackdown/ecw show is being taped tonight with all storylines/backstage arcs scrapped. the show will just consist of old school straight matches.

more like For The Fucking Loss...

Dont forget that his own 7 year old child was killed by this loser....it's difficult for me to make light of this when an innocent child dies.

I hate things like this where kids lives are lost. It makes my stomach turn.

Screw Benoit...and I am upset with the wife as well. She filed for divorce over three years ago, alleged he beat her brutally and was repeatedly violent with the son as well...hell she even had a restraining order against him...only to drop it. What does it take, "Woman"? This?

Well, now your innocent child is dead.

A child whose only fault was having two shitbag parents whose hedonistic lifestyles, self centeredness, and drug abuse ultimately led to the death of someone who never had the chance to be anything in this world.

So, from here on out, everytime I see things like this...



...I'll shake my head in sadness for the child that was strangled in his sleep, but only briefly...because I know that son of a bitch who did this to him is rotting in hell for the rest of eternity. I am not a very religious person, but situations like this REALLY make me hope there is a Hell for all of the scum on Earth to gather and suffer forever once their time is done.

Hopefully he suffocated to death slowly... people who hang themselves often don't do it right and instead of snapping their neck, they just asphyxiate. (See Sopranos' Eugene Pontecorvo)

"WWE(R) Shocked At Latest Developments In Benoit Tragedy, Concerned By Sensationalistic Reporting Tuesday June 26, 5:51 pm ET STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--World Wrestling Entertainment (NYSE: WWE - News) is stunned and saddened by the details released by local authorities concerning the double homicide-suicide involving Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and his son, Daniel. However, WWE is concerned with the sensationalistic reporting and speculation being undertaken by some members of the media following the press conference held by the Fayette County Sheriff's Department and the District Attorney. During the press conference, the investigating authorities made the following points, all of which run contrary to the media speculation that "roid rage" was a factor in the senseless murders and suicide: 1. The authorities stated that all drugs found in the house were believed to be legal prescriptions. 2. Steroids were not, and could not, be related to the cause of death (asphyxiation). Authorities had no factual basis to speculate as to Benoit's state of mind, and rightly did not do so. 3. Toxicology tests have not even been completed, so there is no current evidence that Benoit even had steroids or any other substance in his body. In that regard, on the last test done on Benoit by WWE's independently administered drug testing program, done on April 10, 2007, Benoit tested negative. 4. The physical findings announced by authorities indicate deliberation, not rage. The wife's feet and hands were bound and she was asphyxiated, not beaten to death. By the account of the authorities, there were substantial periods of time between the death of the wife and the death of the son, again suggesting deliberate thought, not rage. The presence of a Bible by each is also not an act of rage. 5. WWE strongly suggests that it is entirely wrong for speculators to suggest that steroids had anything to do with these senseless acts, especially when the authorities plainly stated there is no evidence that Benoit had steroids in his body, pending the toxicological reports, and that they had no evidence at this time as to the motive for these acts. WWE is continuing to monitor the ongoing investigation being conducted by local authorities. Contact: World Wrestling Entertainment Media: Gary Davis, 203-353-5066 or Jennifer McIntosh, 818-269-5621"

Gist is WWE in a press release points out that the media is clamoring over steroids and point to parts of the homicide details that point to it not being "roid rage".

A line I never thought I would see: "WWE...concerned by sensationalistic reporting."

Eh, what do they expect. The news media today are nothing more than a bunch of tabloid s***.

6/26/2007 6:57:24 PM

I think he was using roids and as a result was suffering from depression which is a side effect. Then took it upon himself to end his misery.

6/26/2007 7:00:03 PM

and his family's misery apparently

Bill Simmons' comments in a Chat Wrap on espn.com:

Quote :

"rob, nc: Any comment on the Benoit situation, is this the end of pro wrestling, it seems like it would be hard to watch again after this. Bill Simmons: I am still gathering my thoughts, waiting for all the facts to come out. It just doesn't seem like any non-wrestling fan realizes how huge this story is to everyone who actually follows wrestling - in my opinion, it's the biggest sports story of the year even though wrestling technically isn't a sport. Benoit was one of the 12-15 greatest wrestlers of the past 30 years. For the wrestling world, it's like the OJ thing all over again - only its worse because his little son was involved. It might be the single worst sports story since the Rae Carruth thing. Bill Simmons: The weird part was the WWE inexplicably running the 3-hour Benoit tribute on Raw last night - by the time it re-aired on the West Coast, reports were starting to come out that it was possibly a double murder-suicide... I don't know how they let that show continue to run. One of the weirdest TV moments ever. I was really creeped out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carl (Lansing, MI): How come people condemn wresting becuase of this but not the football because of Rae Carruth? Is it becuase people are looking for a reason to bash it? I never really liked it a ton after college, but I never understood why people have so much HATE for it. Bill Simmons: Well, the bigger issue here is that pro wrestling has suffered an abnormal number of early deaths - actually, abnormal might not even be the right word. it's almost an epidemic. There have probably been more wrestlers die before the age of 45 in the past 15 years than every sport combined. And you knew the tipping point was coming, eventually, and now it's here. I don't know if wrestling will survive this one. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adam (NY): So what does WWE do from here? With the McMahon death awkwardness floating over their heads I think they're going to lose a huge portion of their audience. They have to, right? Bill Simmons: Honestly, I couldn't tell you. I think this could be it - it's going to be the dominant story of the next 2 weeks and everyone is going to bring up the death stats and all the crazy incidents that have happened, I don't think the average person realizes what a damaging sport this has been (physically and psychologically) to the people who do it. Again, I think we've reached the tipping point. Sorry to be so somber, but the Benoit thing... i mean, it's hard to explain how big he was in wrestling circles."

but fuck him, he kills his wife and kids

6/26/2007 7:23:37 PM

The funny thing is looking at pictures of Daniel his head is huge compared to the rest of his body, it was bordering on freakish so I am wondering if they had been giving him growth hormones early in his life.

6/26/2007 7:30:38 PM

he had that Barry Bonds treatment

I was thinking some sort of serious money trouble that would have gotten all of them killed in some bad ways so he decided to kill everyone. The whole bible thing is hard to explain.

6/26/2007 7:59:38 PM

Simmons is right on the money.

This is for the wrestling community what it would've been like for the football community if it had been Brett Favre instead of Rae Carruth.

6/26/2007 8:31:08 PM

^ I kinda thought that at first as well...like a drug/roid deal gone bad. The bible thing could be his way of trying to say I'm a fuck and I'm sorry I have to do this.

6/26/2007 8:32:39 PM

^ That was my guess too regarding the Bibles.

Quote :

"James Hibberd of TVweek.com is reporting that Vince McMahon will apologize for the three-hour Chris Benoit tribute that aired on the USA Network yesterday instead of the regularly scheduled RAW event. Vince will apologize to the fans tonight in San Antonio at the "ECW on Sci Fi" show. Apparently, both the USA Network and the WWE received complaints about the tribute. The tribute was done prior of knowing the details on the deaths of Benoit and family."

6/26/2007 9:49:10 PM

John Cena on Sci Fi.

McMahon opened in a pre-taped statement and said last night they ran a tribute to Benoit. 26 hours later the truth of what really happened in Atlanta is apparent. He said that his mention of Benoit will be the only one of the show. He dedicated the show to everyone hurt by what has happened the past few days and that wrestlers would just wrestle to entertain everyone.

i mean i dont see how you can fault wwe for the first airing of the tribute.


with the police report not out until it had ended, it's understandable they wouldnt assume he killed them all.


they probably just didn't know what to do for the west coast // were in shock from what was released
