Ik heb net RAW gekeken en ben vrij sprakeloos..

het enige wat ik er nu nog over kwijt wil is dat hoe je het ook draait (ALS de berichten waar zijn) heeft Chris Benoit iets verschrikkelijks gedaan. Ik ben het dan ook volledig met Edge eens, geweldige wrestler en alom daarvoor gerespecteerd. Maar ik snap dit soort dingen ook niet, heel sociaal al die jaren, nooit problemen vooroorzaken en dan zoiets onbegrijpelijks doen..

Voorlopige conclusie:
- Double-murder en daarna zelfmoord gepleegd.

- Hij had zijn vrouw vastgebonden aan handen en voeten
- Zoon vermoord in bed.

Benoit heeft dus zijn vrouw dood geslagen (er was bloed) en zijn zoontje had die een kussen op hem gelegt, en een paar uur erna zelfmoord gepleegt, er was geen zelfmoord note gevonden

Geen steriods dus (geen illegale iig). En als ze vrouw en kinderen gewurgd zijn met een voorwerp, kan het dus altijd nog iemand anders gedaan hebben (waarschijnlijk niet, maar het is mogelijk, misschien ze vrouwe wel). De tijden en dagen worden ook opeens heel anders neergezet. Nu is het opeens al op vrijdag/zaterdag gebeurd.

Vrouw vastgebonden hoor ik nu? Misschien heeft zij de zoon wel vermoord waardoor Benoit flipte.
Hij zegt nu dat ze vrouw waarschijnlijk eerst is, maar ze weten niks zeker totdat de volle test terug zijn.

En de autopsie resultaten kunnen dus nog weken duren. Het blijft vreemd.

Politie zei net ook dat ze nog heel vroeg hierin zitten. En dat er nog van alles kan gebeuren.

samenvattend :

- Benoit’s wife Nancy was murdered Friday by asphyxiation. She was in the office area of the house, dead, for close to a day

- Benoit’s son Daniel was murdered Saturday by asphyxiation. Daniel was confirmed to be in his bed when law enforcement officials found him.

- Chris Benoit committed suicide late Saturday early Sunday. No type of suicide note or anything in the house was located.

- Authorities are still waiting further results from crime lab and toxicology reports which could take several weeks to get back.

- Only one prior arrest of Chris Benoit is known. It was allegedly for a DUI, but nothing can be confirmed. There is no knowledge at this time if there was a history of domestic violence with Chris Benoit. It was also not know whether or not a divorce had been filed.

- Lots of prescription medications found in Benoit’s house that police believe to be illegal prescriptions at this time. However, he then said that police found anabolic steroids but would not say what all they found without a full list.

Police would not release a motive at this time.

- Law enforcement officials reported that Benoit text messaged a co-worker, which was received several hours after it was sent; contents of the message were not revealed. It was also not confirmed who the message was sent too, other than a co-worker.

- Steroids were not directly related to any of the deaths, police are unable to answer what Chris Benoit’s state of mind was during the killings.

District Attorney Scott Ballard:

- Bibles found by both victims, Nancy and Daniel Benoit.

- Nancy was found with her wrist and feet bound, she was on her feet, with blood under her head. That was the only sign of a struggle (the blood under her head). She was wrapped in a towel.

- Both victims were found clothed.

- Ballard said that he was told in 2003 a temporary protective order was sought and later dismissed. Ballard said that orders are typically for domestic violence, but not always.

- Ballard said that he is baffled why anyone would kill a 7 year old kid, but has no idea of the motive.

- Ballard said that there was no evidence that Chris Benoit was trying to hide the bodies. It is unknown if the Benoits have family in the area but they do have other family.

- Ballard said that he is not aware of any 911 calls and he has not personally talked to World Wrestling Entertainment.

- The three bodies were found in three different rooms, according to DA Ballard.

- Daniel Benoit’s body was found in his bed in his upstairs bedroom.

- Nancy Benoit’s body was in what looked to be in a family room upstairs.

- Chris Benoit’s body was found downstairs in the house in a weight room. Benoit was hung by a cord attached to a pulley used in weight lifting.

- Nothing further is known about the family emergency that Chris Benoit told WWE that he had to deal with.

- The next step in the investigation will be the toxicology reports. At this point, they are pretty clear it was a murder-suicide. Authorities need to get toxicology reports back to draw a firm confusion. Steroids were found but authorities can’t confirm he was on steroids. It could take several weeks to get toxicology reports.

- Ballard confirms that Bibles were found by each of the two victims, he did not know if they were identical or opened.

However, WWE is concerned with the sensationalistic reporting and speculation being undertaken by some members of the media following the press conference held by the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department and the District Attorney.

In an interview with ESPN.com, Fayetteville, Georgia District Attorney Scott Ballard revealed new information on two text messages that Chris Benoit sent to Chavo Guerrero over the weekend. In the first message, Benoit told Guerrero that Nancy and Daniel Benoit were both sick. It is believed that Benoit sent this message after he had already killed both Nancy and Daniel. In the second message, Benoit told Guerrero that the gates to his house were open and that dogs were outside. It is believed that he sent the second message as a way of making sure the bodies were all found after his suicide.

Even more shocking is that Benoit's son, Daniel, was apparently found with needle marks in his arm. According to Ballard, the boy was being given Human Growth Hormones because the family thought he was undersized

Volgens ESPN zou dat tweede bericht verzonden zijn naar een buurman, niet naar Chvo Guerrero.

ok...de feiten komen langzaam naar buiten...hij was dus gewoon gek . Hij denkt sinds vorig jaar dat ie gestalkt werd en liet zn vrouw het huis niet uitgaan, legt Bijbels naast ze neer terwijl hij niet gelovig was en helemaal niet in religie geloofde, zn zoon had naaldwonden op zn arm (kan door zn ziekte komen)...het is allemaal een beetje surrealistisch

Bob Ryder at 1wrestling.com recently spoke with close friends and confidants of Chris Benoit, there were apparently warning signs that something was wrong with Benoit. One person who wanted to remain nameless said:

"This wasn't roid rage, this was insanity. Roid rage doesn't last for 48 hours. There were signs that something was wrong. Stories have emerged that a year ago he became paranoid and believed he was being followed. He wouldn't let Nancy leave the house because he believed someone was out to get them."

“Chris hated religion. He didn't believe in it. I cannot comprehend him putting bibles by the bodies. I am shocked.”

In addition to this 1wrestling.com also learned that Nancy Benoit had a safety deposit box with evidence of past rages. She set it up that if anything should happen to her, authorities would be able to check the box

Ik denk echt dat de dood van Eddie heel veel gevolgen heeft gehad voor Benoit, er zijn al meerdere verhalen bekend dat Eddie degene was die Benoit in toom hield en dat dat zn vertrouwenspersoon was

Weet je wat raar zou zijn? Als de politie Benoit had opgepakt i.p.v. dat hij zelfmoord had gepleegd. Wellicht had hij dan de doodstraf gekregen, want die hebben ze in Georgia. Maar goed, dat is een scenario waar we niet bij stil hoeven te staan.

Is het trouwens in de VS mogelijk om postuum te worden veroordeeld voor moord?

Detailed WWE/Benoit timeline
Written: June 26, 2007
Below is a detailed WWE/Chris Benoit timeline from Saturday to Monday:

Saturday, June 23, 2007

Chris Benoit was scheduled to appear at the WWE SmackDown/ ECW live event in
Beaumont, Texas

3:30pm
A co-worker received a voice message from Benoit. The message from Benoit
stated he missed his flight and over slept and would be late to the WWE Live
Event. The co-worker called Benoit back, Benoit confirmed everything he said
in his voice message and sounded tired and groggy. Benoit then stated, "I
love you". The co-worker stated that it was "out of context."

3:42pm
The same co-worker was concerned with Benoit's tone and demeanor and called
Benoit for a second time. Benoit did not answer the call and the co-worker
left a message stating "just call me back."

3:44pm
Benoit called the co-worker back stating he didn't answer the call because
he was on the phone with Delta changing his flight. Benoit stated he had a
real stressful day due to Nancy and Daniel being sick with food poisoning.
They discussed travel plans for the WWE Tour of Texas with Benoit still
sounding groggy at this point according to the co-worker.

4:30pm
A co-worker who consistently travels with Benoit, called Benoit from outside
Houston airport and Benoit answered. Benoit told the co-worker that Nancy
was throwing up blood and that Daniel was also throwing up. Benoit thought
they had food poisoning. Benoit stated he changed his flight and he would be
arriving into Houston at 6:30pm. Benoit told the co-worker to drive onto the
WWE event.

5:35pm
Benoit called WWE Talent Relations stating that his son was throwing up and
that he and Nancy were in the hospital with their son, and that Benoit would
be taking a later flight into Houston, landing late, but would make the WWE
live event in Beaumont.

6:10pm
A representative of Talent Relations called Benoit. The representative from
Talent Relations asked Benoit what time Benoit was getting into Beaumont.
Benoit responded he was leaving Atlanta at 9:20pm Eastern time arriving into
Houston at 9:24pm Central time. The representative from Talent Relations
advised Benoit that it would be too late to make the WWE live event in
Beaumont. Benoit apologized citing he had a family emergency. The
representative from Talent Relations suggested to Benoit that instead of
going to the WWE live event in Beaumont, Benoit should take the flight to
Houston, rest up and be ready for the Vengeance Pay-Per-View event.

6:13pm
The representative from Talent Relations called Benoit to reconfirm the
travel plans with no answer from Benoit. The representative from Talent
Relations left a voice message to take the flight and rest up.

dit is een collumn die ik tegenkwam...en het geeft precies mn gevoelens weer over waarom dit zon grote impact kan hebben op de worstelwereld

This story may only generate a bit of morbid curiosity for non-wrestling fans, an excuse for the media to make noise about Steroids altough the timing and manner of the deaths clearly point to cold meditation and not "roids" rages. However, for wrestling fans, at least the hardcore ones, this is the equivalent as if it had happened to the NBA when Michael Jordan was an active player. Could the NBA have survived such scandal? would the industry of professional wrestling survive this?

It is impossible to explain to a non-fan what Benoit represented to wrestling, but I'll try... Wrestling is a form of art in which is a story is scripted in a way such that it has to climax in an in-ring confrontation in which 2 or more men simulate a fight for the entertainment of the audience. To master the art of simulating this fights in a manner that satisfies a highly demanding fandom requires extreme amounts of Athletic Ability, to do it again and again, requires almost super-human resileance.

Benoit was the absolute master of this art. However, he was not normally held in the higuest regard by wrestling promoters. He lacked the size, charisma and looks wrestling promoters considered were required for a wrestler to be a commercial success. During an earlier time on his carreer, odds turned even more against benoit when he hooked up with Nancy (at the time) Sullivan, the wife of Kevin Sullivan the man in charge of booking in the promotion Benoit worked for.

While stealing other mans wife is not the most respectable thing. Benoit gave his most and gained fans by the hour with his incredible in-ring showings even tough he was being written in a way where making he a star was, obviously, not the goal. His fight to shine, even against management wishes, seemed just heroic and make him a favorite among the hardcore fans who follow the insides of the industry.

The Climax of Chris Benoit career was reached on Wrestlemania XX, Chris Benoit was booked to win the World Title, the biggest award in the industry, in the biggest show. Then, the title was held by Triple H, a man who is married to the Daugther of WWE owner and who many feel was just written as the Star because of that connection.

Many wrestling fans, myself included, were geniunely moved when Benoit won the Title last night. Not Because of the Good guy vs. Bad Guy story scripted by WWE writers. But because a corporation had chosen to honor for being the best at what he did the man who didn't kiss ass, who had not family connections and who lacked the size and looks over the man who had been an undeserving champion for too long because the company loved him and had family connections.

It was more, it was also the victory of every fan who ever wrote to WWE complaining about their product, of every fan who chose to cheer or boo wrestlers not because of how their characters are writting but because of how he/she respects their performance. When Benoit and Guerrero Celebrated in that ring It as if for one night the corporation accepted that we know what we want better than they do. No women being objetified for no reason, no silly comedy, no huge guys, no muscle freaks. Just 2 guys who worked hard and were great at wht they did.

Now we have to deal with the fact that that man that meant so much to us is a murderer, some are in denial, some want to put the blame on Steroids. But the reality is that all points out to this being Benoit's fault and no one else.

How does an industry move on if their greatest is considered a murderer...

The WWE is attempting to erase Benoit from Wrestling History... all merchandise relating his persona has been pulled from the market.

If Michael Jordan had killed his wife that would still not take his championship rings or his records from him, he would stil have his place in Basketball history books.

However as Wrestling is not a sport but a performing art... it is all about perception, if fans stop listing Benoit when talking about the greatest in the industry, When they stop ranking their matchest among the best... It would be the same as if no Chirs Benoit had existed in wrestling...

However, it escapes me how can one objectively discuss wrestlign and leave Chris Benoit out... Erasing Chris Benoit from history will also retcon several of the great moments in wrestlings... How can a Highlight reel about Wrestlemania or the late Eddie Guerrero be done without showing the image of him hugging Benoit at Wrestlemania XX... How can Owen Hart be discussed without remembering the match Benoit had with his brother Bret in his tribute... How could Kurt Angle carreer be remembered without talking to his best match ever which was vs. Crhis Benoit.

You can not offer tribue to a murderer, but you can not objectively talk about wrestling and not talk Chris Benoit.....

More importantly, how can fans ever again be so emotionally involved in wrestling. We were overconfident on our ability to separate reality for fantasy. Are we so sure now that C.M. Punk has never used drugs. Are we so adamant to complain about John Cena's 5 moves of doom now since the men we consider more worthy of his title may be horrible persons too..

This would not only impact WWE ,who would suffer the most from this would be the small indy companies that depend on the aformentioned hardcore wrestling fans... Can R.O.H a promotion that thrives on the respect of fans for thecnical wrestling skills of his performers be the same after the man who representend Technical wrestling above all has been exposed as murderer...

This are all tough questions, the Wrestling industry may survie in some fashion, but I'm afraid it would never be the same.

Benoit signs werden bij Smackdown tapings allemaal weggehaald, iedereen moest ze sign laten zien, waarop alles wat met hem te maken heeft werd weggehaald. Begrijpelijk. Maar alsnog vreemd dat je niks bij ECW zag verder. Denk niet dat ze hem allemaal zomaar inleveren of laten zien gelijk aan het begin.
