Chris Benoit Comments on Substance Abuse in Wrestling

[toadman842]

I'm the biggest benoit fan, bit i just wondered; he kiled his famlity after eddie died. He always talked about him. Was. Benoit obsessed with Eddie?

[HelsinkiSmashRod]

A friend of mine told me there is a video on here (Youtube) that shows that Benoit had either texted or called a couple WWE superstars and told them his "front door was open and the dogs are in", or something like that. Basically he thinks its possible he didn't kill anyone; he thinks it could be a conspiracy and someone else committed the murders. Yes I'm confused and was wondering if anybody on here knows anything about this.

[AskaMuslim21]

@HelsinkiSmashRod He did it. Jericho himself says he knew Benoit did it long before the law enforcements knew. Just because he knew Benoit was quite frankly insane. Regal knew too.

[apocalypse1280]

So nothing drove you to kill your family. Sick fuck.

[apocalypse1280]

I still can't believe this guy killed his fucking family and himself. It's fucking crazy. I hope God will rest his soul. But he has to answer to the man upstairs eventually.

[beanhead155]

did he have a stutter

[MRLUCKY85]

typical wrestlers all in2 roids but the first 2 comment on other ppls drug taking!!!!

[spanglehoff]

Its easy to make that comment. But at the end of the day have you been in the same situation, have you had their experience? The answer is no. Just like you wouldn't like someone judging your actions when no one has been in your situation.

[leemcandrew]

Interesting interview. Benoit's "fall from grace" was and continues to be utterly bewildering.

[whatastorymark]

Chris Benoit drank a steroid cocktail, put ona bra and a pair of lacy black panties, and then he killed his wife and child.

[garciaalvin3]

actually hitler sucks art

[thetyreed]

FUCK CHRIS BENOIT

[floodzer99]

family killer

[realblackhart]

i agree wioth the people that say he was murdered. You guys are right when you say that they just concluded that Benoit did it but if you listen to how Benoit talks here, and have heard him the past, he didn't murder his family and then kill himself again. He was murdered, and if you were watching the news at the time you know that a thourough investigation did not take place.

[iseeredpeoples]

whats with wrestling fans that write r.i.p. benoit

im a wrestling fan

but im also a father

ya dont see too many artists saying r.i.p. hitler

i love seen this man in the ring

but the way his life ended

he does not deserve to rest in peace

[Brianbays]

no actually i didn't, theres no proof that he did it. They just added 2 and 2 together and said what they thought was obvious. There are no finger prints, even on the rope that he hanged himself with, supposedly. and the woman they sent in was in there over an hour. I've read the records man, look it up

[M3NT0]

ty for being one of the few ppl that can actually think for themselfs instead of acepting everything that TV says.

if ppl are so convinced that chris is a murderer, GIVE ME 5 FACTS THAT HE KILL THEM. YOU CAN T FREAKIN GIVE ME 1

[Brianbays]

exactly, 6 months later and i still think the same

[BURNINGHAMMER76]

man i really hope he didnt do it cuz i loved benoit but i think the cops wouldnt have decided it was a murder so quickly if there was anything pointing to it not being so.

[M3NT0]

yes. but see my point:

the 3 of them were sedated. the 3!not only nacy and daniel but chris too. he sedated himself to kill his family? ok...

empty beer cans were found all over the house. chris was known for never touch in alchool. toxicology reports confirm that none of the bodies had any alchool. lol?

many, many things weren t explained and from my pont of view, just because a man his found hanged, had a bad past with his wife means that he killed his family just because..because yes?ok..

[smudgeVIW]

He stayed in the house with the dead bodys and made no attempt to call emergency services. there is no evidence of a 4th person. His Dna was all over the victims bodies

The guy had brain damage that was causing mood swings. he had a straid relationship with his wife and his wrestling carrer was on the downside was known for past violence. he was on illegal drugs that could of contriduted to mood. mid life crisis. etc there is so many reasons to say he did it. and seems no alternative to him no

[M3NT0]

he didnt call emergency services. if i, u or anyone were tied up etc i think u agree that we couldn t call anyone at all no?

the guy had brain damage? brain damage = kill family? his dna was all over the bodies?wtf?! nancy dna was all over the bodies, daniels dna was all over the bodies. what a stupid argument bro..i respect the ones that believe u did it. but don t give me a "bad coment" for stating my beliefs...

[smudgeVIW]

. he had the ability to text his friends. SO in any case it was either Nancy, Daniel or benoit did it as thier was no 4th person and it was a crime of passion. and looking at timeline it seem logical it was benoit...I think you just find it hard to believe that someone your related to who you thought you knew cause you seen him on tv each week could do such a thing and its hard to make sense. and he seemed larger than life so there would need to be some big conspricacy behind it.

[JJerkins07]

R.I.P Chris Benoit

[25flygirl]

I have a feeling Chris was murdered.

[wwedxfan]

that is what i thought. However there was no signs of forced entry

[Brianbays]

and there was also no proof that he killed anyone. There were no fingerprints, nothing on the bodies from benoit. The police just went by what it looks like. It in in the files that they just determined it a murder/suicide by what it looks like. But there is no proof.

*plus the neighbor had a key to the house. They asked her to go in and check on them and she came out screaming 30 minutes later. 30 minutes....*

[mckearney111]

benoit was takin more than 4 pills a day.killer

[DMoBLoco]

theirs no way chris benoit killed his family- this guys way too mellow and just calm with his life,.. he in no way would have killed his family- its sorry to say but the good always die young..!

[word559]

shut the fuck up already fucking nerd.. you dont know more than the police.. benoit killed his family u fucking geek. stuck in a fucking bubble.. go out and learn about the world.. he did it fucking idiot. the police couldnt even get in the house because of his dogs... they had to get someone whow as familiar with the dogs... so how the fuck did anyone else got into his house? benoit is the only one who killed his family... live with the facts u fucking geek.

[DMoBLoco]

hmm well as george carlin said it best.. Question everything.. and i do question it,. cuz ur right i dont know more than the police,. NO one does and ever will- like the cobain cover up with the police involved, their all corrupt as fuk- and mr.word i definitly aint no nerd, i smoke entirely! too ! much reefer for that!

[mitchx69]

Relax dude no need to get abusive

[killariverd6]

I have a funny felling beniot didn't kill his familey or him self I beleie thier were murder by a nother party?

WHY? I don't know

[adammorley619]

the feeling is hope

[word559]

how fucking ironic.. this fucking murderer can burn in hell

[NicksXeProductionsV2]

You know, just in case people STILL haven't figured out, the autopsy revealed that he had brain damage before he died. Just thought people might want to figure that out :/

[RagingRambo]

I'm sure if he had brain damage, somebody would've taken noticed before that happen.

[rcvthamc]

*sigh* the irony.

[rangel20]

This is just too surreal, it's almost as if Chris was commenting on his own death.

Maybe that's why he took his own life, he couldn't live on as being everything that he preached against.

[Magoonie]

Knowing what we know now about the damage done to Benoits brain is he truely to blame for what happened? Was he really in control of what he was doing? Or was his brain so messed up it was all a delusion to him or something similar. Like Charles Whitman, the man who killed 14 people from an observation deck in Texas 1966. He had a massive brain tumor that in the end made him do what he did. Is Chris Benoit similar to this case?Do we still villanize him or what?

[wwejohn126x2]

He did not have brain damage, if he did have dementia or a brain of a 85 year old man with dementia, How did he function properly in the wrestling, i mean he did wrestle and work that last week of his.

[wwejohn126x2]

He wasn't a retired or unactive wrestler. No one saw signs.

Why didnt he have that type of brain friday when he saw his doctor if he did he would have forgetten his name and had trouble finding it. Basically he would have shown signs. No one gets this type of brain over night. Or what? You're gonna tell me someone put a spell on him?

[wwejohn126x2]

What i do think is the way he died did cause brain damage, asphyxiation as well a drowning does cause brain damage, not to mention the wheather.

[Magoonie]

Many people with brain damage don't show overt symptoms except for minor things like mood change, appetite loss/gain, excessive tiredness, etc. Look up the man I mentioned above, Charles Whitman, he showed little to no signs of going crazy yet had a massive tumor pressing on his brain which caused him to kill those people. I believe all they found was a diary that showed him going deeper into psychosis but to everybody else he was an outstanding citizen.

[Magoonie]

I must point out I am in no way trying to excuse what Benoit did, it was horrible and thats an understatement. But there is documented evidence that show his brain was severly damaged and not just from the suicide. I am sure they would know the diffrence between built up brain damage and damagedone during suicide.

[Magoonie]

The brain is immensly complicated and even the top scientists don't know everything there is to know. So yes he could have shown little to no signs before the tragedy. It does fit with other brain damaged people who commit terrible crimes.

[Magoonie]

I just wish we knew the truth if it was reall "him" or not. If it was him and the brain damage had nothing to do with it I hope he is burning now. But if it wasn't "him" we are all hating a man who had no control over what he did. I dunno, the wholed situation sickens me. By the way, I am not attacking YOU in any way, just having a discussion. I have seen these youtube dissagreements degenerate into immature fights lets not let that happen here the subject is too fragile. Thank you.

[wwejohn126x2]

Hell no no way in hell does he compare to chris. This charles guy actually left suicide note for one he killed fourteen random people, he didn't overdose on anxiety medication and phone his friends with a tone of voice only a sedated person has.

[70snova]

Fucken piece of shit. Rot in hell benoit. You coward. Kill your worthless self but why your wife and kids? I hope your sucking the devils dick right now.

[Jeff051176]

Not to defend Benoit, but something beyond his control had to be very wrong with him for him to do what he did. I'm not a doctor and unless anyone else posting here is, we don't really know how serious brain injuries can affect someone so we shouldn't make comments like "if he had a serious brain injury he would have done this or not done that or remembered this or not remembered that" beforehand. Only a doctor who specializes in brain injuries would be qualified to speak about it.

[wwejohn126x2]

Something beyond his control like another party. Thats the only conclusion I can come to from all the facts and information given to me by The DA ballard The news media text messages neighbor's claim tone of voice

and toxicology reports.

And no it isn't impossible it sounds very logical.

[HrZC]

man, it's weird watching this.

[bm2g]

most wrestlers are steroid freaks & some of them just carnt cope with the aggression it gives them! simple.

[miguela22]

i feel soooo bad for his wife and kid

[TheMaskedGecko]

R.I.P. Chris

[JinMedia]

I never said Chris wasn't on steroids, it's been well documented that he had extremely high levels of testosterone in his body at death, much more than theraputic purposes would require.

Benoit didn't say he wasn't on drugs here either, he is just saying don't blame the industry as many are doing now. I don't agree, but it's interesting to get Benoit's perspective.

[wwejohn126x2]

Steroids and testosterone are two different things.

Yet the police said he had taken it short while before he died, a short while before he died.....wasn't his family dead a short while before he died. Or did he use time travel and go back and time and killed them, that's more logical.

[Magoonie]

Actually logic shows that what happened was much more attributed to his severly damaged brain than any amount of steroids/testosterone that were in his system. What happened doesn't fit with roid rage at all. It was a violent crime, yes but roid rage happens over a short period of time not days. You don't kill a person, play with your son in the pool and the next day kill your son all in roid rage.

[SGT38]

Both the original poster and claux...I guess you didn't hear that it is CONFIRMED that he may have had steroids in his system - But it is directly at fault of numerous concussions during his wrestling career. Same as those 5 football players who died from concussions.

[clauxlife5]

yeah this video explains a lot!
