@jeffhardylover1992 I couldnt have put it out there better my self, but no Benoit wasnt on Steroids, if I remember correctly he was on depressives and muscle relaxers at the time of his death. This man doesnt deserve to be censored out, his legacy he paved out shouldnt be blacked out like it never existed, we need to form a petition and let WWE known that is OK for his name to be heard, its OK for him to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Chris, Nancy, Daniel, may you all rest in peace

What Benoit did to his wife and son was wrong but if he was in his right mind he would'nt have doneit.People bash him and say he should go to hell for what he did but its not his fault.All the years of being dropped on his head and all the concussions and stuff finally got him.He went crazy.(I dont know for sure but i think he was on steroids at the time)

So before you bash him,think about who he really was.A great,fun,loving,and nice guy.

@heyyomas That wasnt the real Chris Benoit that killed his family. The Chris Benoit committed that horrible tragedy was a shell of the man he once was. He had the brain of a 75 year old alzheimers patient and it caught up with him. Nancy and Daniel were just in the worst place at the worst time. I had the privilidge to meet Chris multiple times and I tell you, the man was no murderer. He was truly a man to look up to before this incident and I hope Chris and his family finds peace. RIP Benoits

i wish he was still wrestling and eddie RIP guys

[heyyomas]

i just cant stand the thought of suicide and the killing of your own children, i see his wife and kids celebrating with him, couple years later he kills them, on a personal level i lost full respect for a human being like him, but as a wrestler he was awesome, no doubt about that, but the real Chris Benoit is pure evil for ending his life and his wife not to mention his kids life the way he did, there is no excuses you can make, my dad took muscle relaxers and were all alive.

@undertaker1832 I think part of it was Eddie's death.

@cmpunkfan34 Dude, me too. My birthday was on June 22nd, and I heard he died. I was completely depressed for an entire summer.

[cmpunkfan34]

This happened on my birthday.

I remember having one hell of a day with my family and I thought "what could be a better way to end it than RAW."

I was totally shocked and suprised and my heart immediately sank after I saw Benoit's photo.

I was just beginning to seriously watch wrestling and now looking back, I realize Benoit is my favorite wrestler of all time.
