[Guest RyechnaiaSobaka]

Who is Chris Benoit?

For the "Durr, concussions don't make you attack your family" crowd, a look at a brain damaged NHL player.

Yes.

With all due respect, that's one person with a history of violent behavior in his NHL days. It's not like we're magically transforming some model citizen into a crazed maniac here.

With all due respect to all your due respect, there's a history of violent behavior and there's picking up your own daughter in preparation to introduce her face to the back of her own skull via your fist without really realizing what you're about to do or who you're about to do it to. Model citizen or no, a step towards crazed maniac is a bad step to be taking.

I'm going to wear my Benoit shirt at the next WWE show I go to. It should be an interesting experience.

One case of anecdotal evidence, no quotes from doctors on the specifics or anything. I know concussions are bad, but c'mon now. You can't take a case like this and then present it as such overwhelming evidence that your debaters are worthy of scorn.

Al Keiper sure has taken it upon himself to be a one-man WWE Defense Force during these trying times.

Remember to post about it, I'm curious.

There are things that they could do better, but I honestly think WWE is ahead of any other promotion in these matters.

 

And honestly, the concussion stuff isn't so much the danger of concussions as much as people want to believe Chris Benoit did it because he was brain damaged and not because he made a conscious choice. I mean seriously, he knew well enough not to injure a wrestler in a worked match but not enough to not murder his wife and child? That's silly.

I agree that Benoit was rational that weekend, despite what people may like to think. He knew enough to lie to co-workers, and neighbours, drugged Daniel to ensure a peaceful death and then there's the fact that he killed himself: he knew what he'd done and what the consequences would be if he stuck around.

 

There have been family annihlator cases where the dad kills everyone, but either he doesn't kill himself or fails in his own attempt, then they try to plead insanity. To date this has never worked because the courts always find evidence of rationality or it being planned out well in advance. Benoit, had he lived, would have never have gotten an insanity verdict, there's too much to indicate he knew what he was doing.

So has Chris Benoit been mentioned in any year in reviews? Either locally where you are from or nationally? From espn to people magazine to entertainment tonight? Just curious how broad attention still is for this story.

[Enigma 0]

The Benoit story was #44 in ESPN Magazine's Biggest 100 Sports Moments in 2007.

[Jingus 0]

Which is a nice reminder how little the general public cares about that fake rasslin.

That article really doesn't prove anything. As al pointed out, it's anecdotal evidence

Well, he was in The Onion's year timeline under the heading 'Pro Wrestler Unable to Leave Rage at Work'.

New Jack and Sheik talk about Benoit

 

Sheik is a mess here but New Jack is the man. Skip the shiek part if possible.

[Mike wanna be 0]

To summarize the Sheik part for those curious: Daniel was seven years old, how could he do that?

Any threats of anal rape?

[milliondollarchamp 0]

i dont mind you kill nancy sullivan.....BUT WHY YOU KILL DANIEL!! when Shiek said that New Jack sat up it looked like he was gona attack him.

 

New Jack made some good points

[Atticus Chaos 0]

While he makes some good points, I can't really ignore the fact that he thinks killing a woman is wrong but it's acceptable to 'slap around a Ho' if she steps out of line.

But how else would a ho learn?

Time Magazine listed the Chris Benoit tragedy as the eighth worst crime in 2007.

 

I guess he had to take out a couple more to be number 1

I'm sure Virginia Tech was higher than the Benoit tragedy.

That's my guess for #1, but I'd still like to know the full list.
