In Credible 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2007 I'd only like to see a couple things more, everyone seems to be reposting and saying mainly the same things... A.) What were the text messages sent to Chavo. B.) What was the time line of death? C.) What is the bizaar thing that the Police mentioned? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dutchse.cx 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2007 CNN just reported the Benoit story as their second story on CNN Newsroom, after the California wild fire but before the Paris Hilton release, so they seem to have their priorities straight. It was a very straight forward report that included the possible double homicide / suicide investigation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thuganomics 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2007 I still can't wrap my head quite around all this. To take someone whose work I respected for so long, and then to go to this... It blows my mind. At this point I need more information. Just in the hopes that I can grasp a little bit about what could be going on with the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LooseCannon25 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2007 Has their ever been a story as terrible as this one in pro wrestling? I mean, there was the Bruisy Brody story but this one is worse because it involves a man killing his own wife, and son, and then taking his own life (if the reports are true). What I want to know is why kill your wife on Saturday, then kill your son the next day, and then proceed to kill yourself the day after that. That doesn't make any sense. Wouldn't his son have noticed Nancy being dead on Saturday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MFer 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2007 With the whole Vince storyline coupled with the Benoit tragedy, wouldn't this make more of the marks (specifically children) realize the "truth" about wrestling, seeing as many of them likely saw the Vince explanation yesterday?

Wouldn't his son have noticed Nancy being dead on Saturday? I would say it's the most shocking death since Owen Hart. Every death was a tragic event, but guys like Curt Hennig and Eddie Guerrero had personal problems that led to their deaths. Chris Benoit always seemed like one of the genuine nice guys in professional wrestling, just like Owen Hart. I never heard of any type of drug problems with him. It'll be interesting to hear the details as they are released and perhaps will get some idea of why this had to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Failed Bridge 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2007 with the timeline and information gathered this is what the most bizarre thing ever would be to me. Nancy calls home Benoit early Sat saying there's a tragedy. Benoit comes home to find son dead. Distraught he text messages Chavo about it who then tells Chris about a place the Native Americans use to go to bury their dead. The soil has since turned sour though and he should not go burrying his young up there. Benoit ignores his friend's advice and does so anyways. Sometime early Sunday child comes back but is not quite himself. Child kills Nancy and Benoit is forced to kill child. Thinking perhaps there had just been too much time inbetween the child's death and the burial he opts to try with Nancy. Nancy comes back Sunday night with the same evil glow in her eyes that the child had. Chris is forced to take her life. By Mon Chris is so stricken with grief and guilt that he takes his own life. if it ends up being more bizarre than that then I don't wanna know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the rumored time table and the fact that a firearm wasn't used makes the entire situation rather strange. If Benoit did do all of this himself, it really has to be the story of a complete mental breakdown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By Mon Chris is so stricken with grief and guilt that he takes his own life. if it ends up being more bizarre than that then I don't wanna know. It was a dark and stormy night. Chris Benoit was summoned home by Nancy, who was coughing up blood, along with her son Daniel. (Syntactical ambiguity [sic].) It turned out that they had lunar parasites which attacked the respiratory system as well as the nervous system, causing the hosts to be mind-controlled. They teamed up to try and kill Benoit, so he killed them out of self-defense, then he got the parasites, and before his mind was taken over, he killed himself too. The end.

Well, I read that they found a lot of steroids in his house, so that may cover the "heavy media scrutiny" part. The instruments of death may be needles or cords for stranglation.

IT is a fact. not that I'm doubting you or wwe.com, but I'll wait until the investigation has been concluded before I start sifting through the facts. As it stands right now, however, it certainly is looking like a double murder - suicide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
