Tragic loss of a pro wrestler

[Grim91Z]

I haven't watched wrestling much in the last few years but it's still sad to see another one of the older wrestlers of the early days pass off.

I really don't have any thoughts about the situation, but it's pretty sad none the less.

Arghh, it makes me mad. Why would someone kill their own family like that?? It is sad that he died, but it is even more sad that he went through killing his wife and son.

I don't think the loss of Chris Benoit by his own hands is tragic. I do think that the loss of his wife and son by his hands are, however. I find it hard to muster up much sympathy for him. I don't see much difference between what he did to his family and what the Cutts fellow in OH did to his girlfriend and unborn daughter, one was famous, one wasn't.

Since I'm in Georgia, it's been a top story here.

I agree. Benoit was a loser. If you want to off yourself, fine. Don't smother your 7 year old boy and strangle your wife. I made my son throw away all of the Chris Benoit wrestling figures that he has.

I agree i would have made my son throw all of them away too, if he was old enough to have them he is only 2 yrs old but if he had some i would have made him get rid of them too!

For another note: Adults beat the heck out of each other all the time, and i no way am i say it is ok, but your SON!!! YOUR SON!!! WTF was this guy thinking, my wife said that when people do things like that it is a basis of pride for them thinking well if i can't go on neither can you! what the heck kind of mentality is that! I think it was just wrong about what happened to his wife and son! i could care less about him!

I don't understand why everyone (here in the south anyway) is making this out to be a tragic loss to the wrestling world, and making all these excuses and saying that nothing has been proven yet. You don't have to be a genius to put two and two together and realize what happened. The guy was a scum bag.

Personally I hope there is a Hell and Bobby Cutts, Jr. and Chris Benoit each have a very special seat there, right beside Scott Peterson, Gilberta Estrada, Andrea Yates and the rest. Any parent that willingly takes away their child's right to continue to live deserves nothing more.

I just read in the paper that he injected his kid with HGH to accelerate his growth. Apparently Benoit was not too pleased with his own 5'10 stature and did not want his son to be small also.


This guy was a real classy guy.

ok, i can KIND OF understand killing yourself but why would you feel the need to kill other people first? seriously, do they think it's gonna make a difference in the afterlife? either way, they're swimmin in a lake of fire. why not just leave everyone out of your suicide??? it seems to be happening more and more! so sad!

Him taking his innocent wife and kid's life was horrible, I lost all respect for him once I heard that. But if the HGH thing is true that what have been a very uncomfortable and painfull childhood for his kid, seems like this guy was really sick in the head
