Couldn’t agree with you more. Senseless deaths and yes Benoit is to be blamed but so is those who game him access to steroids.
Sad sad.

There’s plenty of blame to be shared here, but placing it doesn’t really accomplish anything or bring them back.
Totally, totally, senseless.

Perhaps the best that can be brought out of this tragedy is public knowledge of such steroid use and the “roid” rage that may accompany use. Knowledge can be power, and so with it may also come understanding.

I feel that this was in the process of happening long before this. Wrestling endorces all those who think violence, sex, and anger go together as -fun. There is nothing kind or fun about drug use. Rather or not its legal; it is harmfull both to the body and to the spirit.
There are two sides to the coin. One is God and the other is the devil.
He, the devil controlls those who dont have values. And he gets away with it, whether you believe in him or not he exists.God exists whether or not you believe in him. The devil is the one who dances on your brain, heart, and emmotions, who comes to rob, kill and destroy.

I think its awful what Happened to Chris Benoit and his family . But us Not dwell on what happened to all of the victims . Yes they are all victims . We all chose our paths of what we are going to do . He cried out for help no one was there , Let’s not make this anymore of a Heartbreaking Tragedy then it is . ITs heartwrenching to know that 3 people are dead and gossip and blame is being spread evrywhere . Let the families rest in peace . Gossip and innuendo is not a good thing

NO blame should not be placed upon the organization simply because they expect a certain body type for wrestlers. The organization didn’t hold a gun to Benoit’s head and say you better take these steroids or else. He took the drugs becasue he wanted to. Benoit is an adult and should be held accountable for his actions. He killed his family and himself not the organization. People and society is to quick to place blame but in actuality he knew the side effects of using the steroids so therefore the issue should not be pacicified by the media blaming the WWE.

I agree with Nightstar, whether or not you believe in the Devil and God, they do exist. This is a sad and tragic story. Benoit had no right to take his life, nor the lives of his family. They simple were not his to take.

Benoit should be held accountable for the death of his family. He took the cowards way out. Drugs or not, he had a choice. There was more going on in their relationship than we will ever know. It is too bad it had to end like it did.

I was really shocked by this when I randomly came across it on ET flipping through channels. Anytime I’d seen him in a (Real) interview, Benoit seemed not just polite, but courteous. He had a webpage he worked closely with some years ago, and when peoples comments were blunt, at the line of insulting, he replied in a polite way that addressed the problem.
A lot of people who’d never heard of him might think of him as just another beefy wrestler, but he was a guy who really had everything to lose. I’m saddened by it. Its not just the WWE who say it was not a “Rage” crime…the appropriate authorities said it bore the markings of something deliberate. This bothers me more, not less.

WWE participants sign a contract. Drug testing is performed, the steroids were a known fact within the organization yet there was no action taken against Benoit. The source of the steroids, those who knew about the steroids and said nothing, those who knew and DID nothing. Those involved are accomplices. It’s called consequences for ones actions or non-actions.
My heart goes out to the family and friends of Benoit’s family. How many more victims will there be before the flow of steroids is stopped. ‘Athletes’ like Bonds that discuss steroid use in his book are incredibly irresponsible. As well as the WWE – silence implies consent.
I’m sure this will strike a nerve with fans of WWE – I’ll pray for you. If you’re flaming me, you’re leaving someone else alone.

i do not see how you people can be so mean about the death of a wrestler when you do not know the cause of death or what really happened BUT HERRE YOU GO LIKE THEY ALWAYS SAY( JUDGING A BOOK BUY ITS COVER)

Blaming the tragic and unfortunate actions of Chris Benoit on the WWE, is as coward an act as what Benoit did to escape whatever demons haunted him, and dragging his innocent wife and child along with him. Everyone wants to knee jerk react and blame the actions of an obviously sick individual on “roid rage” yet therein lies the fallacy in their own argument. IF the majorty of the sports world, not just pro wrestling, is involved in rampant steroid abuse, and have been for ages, why haven’t we seen such an outburst or act of this magnitude prior to now?
The fact is, steroids or not, Chris Benoit had demons to deal with, and whether they got the best of him or he took the cowards way out and tried unsuccessfully to escape them, the blame starts and ends at Benoit. Not Vince McMahon, not his company. To place blame on the WWE is the ‘sexy’ thing to do. It makes headlines, it sells papers, it sensationalizes. There’s no more a proven prevalent steroid problem in pro wrestling than there is in, football, baseball, cycling and or track and field. wrestling howeevr is the red headed step child of the bunch. after all, someone has to take the blame.

I blame the wwe for what happen. they knew he was stress out and that night said he was not in his right mind. he told them he needed to go home and take care of something. why did not mc man or anyone stop him and get him the help he needed. the wwe is out of contol too with using chairs and other things to beat each other with.
what is this showing our young kids today it ok to use drug drink , and beat the hell out of each other with anything they want to use.
I love wrelsing but it not the same as it was back in the day like portland wresling was you never head of them killing anyone.
Mc.man need to get his head out of his butt grow up make werlsing more safe. till them no drugs no drinking or you wont work for me.

I totally agree with Dena’s original comments. I work with teens who wrestling and follow it with an enthusiasm I wish they showed for other things at times. Our culture promotes “celebrity” of all sorts as a way of life to be sought out and followed. But here again is an example of a good guy gone bad with the help of those who have promoted his celebrity for their own enrichment. It is the promotor that should be held accountable. They were about to about decrease his access to the very thing as a celebrity he needed the most and which fed his ego and self esteem…his fans. He was about to be demoted and sent to one of the lower ranking “brands” of the wrestling enterprise…and he “broke”. That is the “backstory” that needs to be heard. Drugs may have fed his moods but his bosses who knew he was using them and how fragile people using them can be, didn’t care enough about him and his family to take that into consideration in their decision-making process.

Monday night, June 25th, would live in the fans of professional wrestling as the most confusing night in history. OK the WWE celebrated the career of Chris Benoit and pratically destroyed (thankfully) the then current angle of the demise of Mr. McMahon. In the West Coast, during the celebration on television, news broke out that the Benoit situation would be more serious many fold. That a double murder/suicide was being discussed. To many a fan, including me, would be more than chilling. After the tribute after 11PM, i looked around in different websites about the story. I highly doubt the WWE had any idea, until after airing the tribute, about the findings. Before the tribute, three died…afterwards it became murder.
Telling the story the next night at the dinner table to my kids, based on printed stories and a national radio sports talk show discussion, was the toughest discussion. For the theme that drugs and/or steroids were involved, drove a fan favorite to destroying his dreams and family.

Whom is the blame for the death of the 7 year old child and his mother of course the killer, thus, who shall one look down upon and convict for the poison that he used and possibly bestowed to his own child? I blame him, those that teach that these poisons enhance “power” and “muscle mass” thus, only develops losers…steroid are for losers, Jesus is for winners!
I am a Power Lifter and some call me a Body Builder, I believe in total neutrality in my power lifting career and the development of my body, one must understand if one teaches that it is ok to cheat and be paid for it; one will do what one feel one must do…there is much blame to be distributed but only one person is responsible and that is the killer!!! He bought this poison; he believed in this poison, he administered this poison to his 7 year old son; he is the blame for this tragedy!!! He is the loser even though he was a millionaire and respected by man in the wrestling world.
He cheated in sports by taking steroids, he cheated his son during conception and then he cheated his entire family by taking their lives for whatever reason…”Steroids are for losers, Jesus is for Winners!!!
Come and see the Power of Jesus naturally!!!

There are a lot of rough sports that cause more damage than wrestling; such as football, ice hockey, professional basketball, ice skating, tennis, snow skiing, water skiing, diving, … every sport whether recreational or professional has risks, even in beginner sports.I’ve watched wrestling off and on since I was 8 or 9 years old. My paternal grandma loved it and I liked watching it with her. You cannot condemn a sport nor any person for the actions of a psychologically impaired man. Furthermore, I wouldn’t be surprised if his wife noticed strange behavior from this man long before this man killed her. I guess it’s hard to believe that someone you love will one day kill you. She was either too intimidated by her husband to take action or she didn’t have a clue what he was up to. I think it was the latter because anybody in their right mind would have gotten herself and her children out of harms way. Angie.

wwe isn’t 2 blame because they didn’t know a thing about beniot until 4:30 on monday and it’s not wwe’s fault that children are going out there and punching ppl and hitting them with chairs. it’s the parents because they know the content rating is tv-14 so they shouldn’t let their child watch it. beniot had no reason to kill his family but god intended it to be that way so it happened and i give all my prayer out to the family and the victims but

I REPEAT DO NOT BLAME THE WWE FOR THIS BECUZ SINCE EDDIE DIED THEY STARTED STERIOD TESTS EVERY FEW MONTHS NO ONE KNOWS WHY CHRIS DID IT BUT I’LL TELL U THIS. WWE DIDN’T HAVE ANY THING TO DO WITH THIS. I’M A FAN BUT YEA THEY DO BEAT EACH OTHER WITH CHAIRS AND CRAP BUT IT’S CALLED ENTERTAINMENT. DON’T CALL IT ENTERTAINMENT IF U DON’T WANT TO BUT TO ME IT IS AND WRESTLING IS 90% FAKE SO THE BLOOD IS CAUSED BY RAZORS AND IT’S STILL REAL THOUGH

I think this is so senseless and disgusting! I am not in denial of the worlds’ violence and hateful behavior and emotional distress that is going on in the world! I just wonder why the media feels the need to fill our head full of images of murder/suicide with explicit and many times unsolicited info! I am outraged that USA network even had tributes to this tormented mans’ final acts of rage and violence against his wife and 7yr. old son, knowing at this point it was a murder/suicide!!!!!!!!!!! A tribute, how disgraceful! Because they thought that they were all shot at that point, and knowingly at the hands of Benoit, himself! Then it comes out about the real details and they, the media, felt the need to share the exact torment this wife and child went through! Every detail out there for people to hear or read with no regard for those of us who gets that sick feeling in our guts just hearing such a thing! God rest his wife and son! I feel so sorry for the families left behind! God bless them all!

We can speculate and point fingers from now till whenever but it doesnt change the fact that a tragic event occured. The assumption that “roid rage” was the cause is just absurd. If you’ve followed the story at all, you know that Chris was not in a rage at all. The events that took place were thought out and deliberate.
As a society we are quick to place blame anywhere but on ourselves. The WWE should have seen something wrong and taken the appropriate steps to intervene and get him the help he so clearly needed. We, as a society, need to take steps when we believe something is wrong with a loved one or even an acquaintence. After all, is it better to say something and be wrong or not say anything and be right. How many schools need to get shot up? How many murder- suicides does there need to be? How many mothers must kill their children before we stop being afraid to reach out and offer help?

I’m not a WWE fan, but I watched the clip where Vince McMahon’s limo
burst into flames (supposedly with him inside) and I told my friend that they had crossed the line in the name of ratings.I never thought
the anything other than it was a publicity stunt. The Monday night show was suppose to expose the truth, but instead they had a real tragedy to expose on the three hour special. I just pray that the WWE, especially Vince McMahon finally realize that death is no joking matter.

very sad about the death but GOD is th eonly one that can judge it is great how everyone is jumping to conclusions about the tragedy would it not be more responsible to wait for all the tests to be in

If the WWE is to blame for this situation is very irrelevant. Everytime something bad happens society is so quick to point the finger at someone or something. No one forced Chris to use Steroids. No one forced him to kill himself and his family. If we continue to try to pin every negative event on someone other than the person who committed the crime, what are we teaching children? Are we telling them that regardless of what you do we will try to find someone for them to share the blame with? Bottom line Chris used steroids, Chris committed the crimes and unfortunately he is not here to do the time but he is definitely the one and only person to blame here.

How true that God is the only one to judge, but if you believe in what the Bible teaches, suicide is an unforgiveable sin! It is not our place to judge others, but we do have a right a human beings to form our own opinions! As you can see, I am just one of many that believes that if you commit suicide, you go to hell! But yet again I am not God
and can only pray for all of them! It is so sad, and we owe it to our fellow man to reach out to those people who cannot find the strength to help themselves! So quickly people turn their backs on those people
that have emotional issues, claiming they just don’t need the drama. I just ask have compassion for all and reach out when it would not endager ourselves to do so! God Bless us all and whatever you may be going through, easy or rough, never give up!!!!!! Reach out to God, your fellow man anyone you can! TRY to forgive and when we can’t seem to find a way, I pray to God to help me have the strength! I know it is not always easy and some things seem so much bigger in our heads, so we because of fear and judgement from our fellow man fall along the wayside and won’t ask for help, or we don’t know where to turn! We should all learn from this tragedy! Be kinder, gentler and don’t be so quick to judge! Because we can’t deal with the drama is never a good exuse to turn our backs on humanity! We all need help sometime! Let’s give it when we can, and prayer lines are an excellent way to steer someone if we can’t help! I am not perfect or pretend to be, prayer lines have got me through many a dark hour! Remember we are all in the same boat together, let’s try not to sink it!

we are so quick to put blame; but what really happen? None of us were there.
I know what it is too not be yourself or even think straight or too even control yourself.
But who is really too be blame?
The People who supply the Steroids , The people who make the Steroids: The Fans Who want too see all the wrestling; Vince McMahon; etc.
Do build bluiders use Steroids? I mean they have the same body bulit.
What are we telling ourselves?
Yes it’s wrong to use any kind of Drugs.: and It is also wrong too take anothers life. But is playing the Blame Game the Right thing too do? NO ! We Should learn from it and move on .
Chris will have too answer for himself ; but how many more killers are out there a nobody says anything about them.
Those that hurt Others; abuse them or even kill them . Does that make it alright?
Look I understand where a lot of you are coming from and I’m not say Yes you’er Right or Wrong. I’m just saying that Chris and his wife and son are gone. All this is not going too bring them back.
Lets teach each other that Drugs THEMSELVES are WRONG.
IF YOU REALLY WANT TOO DO SOMETHING . START PRAYING ;BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS .

Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

HI
I do not believe that Chris Benoit kill his own family because of drug
and problem at home.
Chris was a fine young wrestling. I seen him win and lose match but i know that he will not kill his family for that.
I do not care what t.v. news said about Chris if you see him wrestling that know for fax that he would not kill his family. He kind person that care alot for his family.If you all see chris wrestling careen you know that not kind person do something like that. I sorry for the family and his loveone and family he have in WWE and the one he made at home on T.V. show I going miss him alot because he is truly hero
for all those young kids who watch him wrestling on Monday Raw and ECW
and Smack Down He will be miss. Never listen to what they said on T.V
You know the man how he come every other night on your t.v site and watch him wretling and you think that kind of person go home and kill his family. NO NO I know he love his family so much that way he do what he do wrestling for they.
May the Lord be with you always and your family.
Only God know what happen that day with Chris Benoit and his family
But know that he will not kill any body because he wrestl.
Please let his name be good for all those young one see him wrestling
Please get all your fax right.
Please do not let his good name and wrestling ability go donw the drain
if you find that he did not kill his own family.
Thank You Very Much God Bless

I fully believe that what happened with Beniot was something that no one could really expect to happen.Who really knows where the fault lies. I feel that the WWE could have taken some kind of steps to relieve some of the stress that Beniot was apparently under.Surely he showed some kind of signs indicating his state of mind on that day or the previous days.Maybe if something were done,he would not have done what he did.But then again who knows? One thing everyone knew was he loved his family more than anything. I believe that if he did kill his family and then himself,he was under too much stress with his job,with his family situation. He needed help and no one was there to give it to him.

i think this has to be a two part investigation,1 being the true cause of death and who caused it, then 2 and only if that steriods were involved, where they came from,who encouraged the excessive use,and who had chris convinced that this was the only way to get on top and not thru hard work.I feel that Chris made some bad choices, but they should go after the slim that is out there pushing this garbage on the wrestlers and ruining what was once a long time ago ( seemingly)a decent program.

As a fan of WWE I found it quite disturbing, but what I find more disturbing is that the media is jumping to conclusions about the steroids because the DA said it would take several weeks for the toxicology report back and until then nobody knows if the steroids were even in his body. And as far as wrestling being fake, sure the storylines are fake and the winners of the match are planned but there is no way you can say the beating they take in the ring is fake. No matter how much you pull your moves you still take a real beating for those who think otherwise why don’t you try to get in the ring and see how fake the moves are but that doesn’t mean that WWE is to blame or wresatling in general. I’m sorry for what happened but only Benoit knows the real reason he did what he did. And with the hours in between the killings doesn’t say rage. If he went into this ‘roid rage as so many people have created he would killed the son immediately after his wife not the next day.

your right but we will never know what really caused benoit to lose it the way he did,my prayers are with his other kids,cause they have to live with fact of what there dad has done.

I have watched Wrestling since I was 12 yrs. old and it started in the 1970′s. Seen all come and go.
We have lost Eddie G and now Chris B. They were great wrestlers.
With Chris need to remember him as a wrestler not as a murderer. The
truth will come out sooner or later. I believe in the Wrestling assocations there is alot of Drugs out there. Some may take them and some may not.

you no its not all the wwe falt yes vincs did not that the stars in the past wre uesing but hell give them a brake and who knows that it is the royieds that did it you all for get the chris was a god fearing ma as well so yes it is wrong what hapend but it you are with out sin cast the frist stone about boing something your not supost to do be it drugs or something eles i am sorry for the loss of 2 lives but if it was chris that done it would it be so big in your minds it hapens every day to just little people but they do not have the fame that chris did so is it that he world lost 3 lives in a bad way or is it that chris may have been uesing royeds and the wwe did not do any thing about it what is the bigger thing in this world i tink that it is that we have losst 3 lives not that the wwe may have let one of there stars ues a drug come on people

Hello America, I am a fan of wrestling and that is a very true statement that only GOD can judge this situation. Only the good LORD knows what really happen that day, so everyone should stop trying to figure out who to blame and PRAY for there love ones who are left behind to deal with all the hurt and pain of losing their family members. Yes I do feel terrible that Chris Benoit son didn’t get a chance to live his life as his parents lived theirs,BUT AMERICAN’S PLEASE STOP FOCUSING ON THOSE THAT ARE GONE AND CHERISH EVERYONE THAT’S HERE NOW. PLEASE PUSH =(PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPEN)MAY GOD BLESS EVERYONE THAT HAS A COMMENT AND REMEMBER HE WILL LET YOU GO THROUGH SO MUCH AND MAYBE IT WAS TIME FOR THEM TO GO HOME FROM THIS CRULE WORLD HAVE A VERY BLESSED LIFE

I have read all these comments. It is true let GOD be the judge. I personally feel that someone made it look like he killed his family, because he loved his family greatly. Like I said, this is my personal opinion. I have watched WWE since the 70′s as well, and I can not see Chris doing this to his family.

The WWE should be held accountable, the source that perscribed the steriods should be held accountable, not to pass blame, but to put a stop to it.
Pro Wrestling may be considered entertainment, but it is still physically demanding and they are real athletes, they live in pain, the outcome of matches maybe scripted, but the injuries are real.
There is no doubt that wrestlers who want to make it in the WWE as a superstar have to maintain appearance (muscles), or they will not place in a main event and maybe even removed from the roster, Vince McMahon may not force wrestlers to use steriods, but there is a silent understanding.
The average life expectancty of a wrestler today is around 40 years old, prior to the rise of todays wwe, back in the 70′s the wrestlers lived to 60 years old or older and died of natural causes, compare the wrestlers who have died over the last 10 years, curt henning, Eddie Guerero, Miss Elizabeth, Chris Benoit, look at there bodies, look at the older wrestlers such as Dusty Rhodes, Roddy Piper, Freddie Blassie, huge difference.
Steriods have caused emotional mind altercating enhanced depressions and highs, if Chris Benoit had not have used steriods he would not have killed his family, the reports say he killed his wife friday, his son saturday, look at the time lapse, when he realized what he had done after he came down from his roid rage, he could not live with what he had done, you can tell he loved his son.
Look at Vince McMahon 15 years ago and today, he has huge muscles, he is probably using steriods as well, you look at the Rock, you can tell he worked out and it was natural, same as Goldberg, they also got out of wrestling.
Chris Benoit was crying out for help, the wwe was so busy writting there next skit they ignored it, Chris Benoit was a money maker for McMahon, Benoit loved the wrestling world passionatley, but unfortunatley it cost him his life and his family, if he could have foresaw this, bet he would not have went anywhere near steroids and probably would not have had the passion for the wrestling scene, Chris Benoit the man did not kill his family, Chris Benoit the wrestler did.
It is sad, i am still in disbeleif.

I don’t believe it is anyone fault, except for Chris Benoit. The reason is that how would the WWE know if he had steroids in his house, unless they ran through there with a team of people. To be agree with the WWE, is stupid, even more so for the fact that when the first learned of the news (before the new was of a murder/suicide), they held a tribute to the man, and canceled not only the show for that night, but also the entire story line of Mr. McMahon’s death. Now to say that it wasn’t right for Mr. McMahon to fake a his death for a story line, is like saying that no one should fake a death in a movie, or any other T.V. show. Also the police are ruling out “Roid Rage” due to the fact that the evedince piled up at the seen of the crime don’t show the signs of a person enraged, but more of that of a planed murder. So to not look at this any longer, but don’t forget those who lost their lives to this senseless act.

i think chris didn’t do it. it willprobaly be learned that someone else killed him and his family. he had some enemies in wwe and several of them are capibale of committing the crime.that’s my opinion

YOU PEOPLE WHO PUT WRESTLERS DOWN FOR ONE THING OR ANOTHER, HAD BETTER LOOK AT YOURSELVES. BENOIT WAS A EXCELLENT WRESTLER NO MATTER WHAT HE DONE. YOU ASSUME TO MUCH BEFORE YOU GET THE FULL FACTS OF WHAT HAPPENED . THE PRESS HAS TAKEN THE STEROID USE TO A LIMIT WHEN THE SHERIFF AND DA OF THAT COUNTY SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT FOR SURE IF THEY WERE IN HIS SYSTEM. YES HE DONE WRONG WITHOUT ADOUDT HOWEVER WE SHOULD NOT JUDGE UNTIL WE HAVE THE FULL FACTS OF THIS HORIBLE ACT BY A MAN WHO WE DID NOT PERSWONALLY KNOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST STATED JUDGE NOT AND YOU SHALL NOT BE JUDGED THEREFORE I AM NOT JUDGEING CHRIS BENOIT FOR WHAT HE HAD DONE REGAURDLESS IF STEROIDS WERE IN HIS SYSTEM OR NOT. AND THAT IS A VERY BIG IF!!!!!!!

He was a fantastic wrestler, chris benoit. all of the other wrestlers will miss him. people will miss the canadain crippiler,the rabid wolveren. people shouldn’t judge other people. we don’t know what or realy why he did what he did. we will never know! he lost. but we don’t care if he loses. people don’t now why he did this.
he should have never took his wife and sons life.

UNFORTUNATELY,CHRIS TOOK TWO OTHER LIFES WHEN HE DECIDED TO TAKE HIS OWN. IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT THEY WERE ONLY BYSTANDERS CAUGHT UP IN HIS WORLD. THIS IS A TRAGIDETY FOR HIS AND HER FAMILIES, ITS TOO BAD THAT HE KILLED HIS SON. IM NOT SAYING IT ISNT BAD THAT HE TOOK HIS WIFES LIFE,BUT THE 7 YR OLD STILL HAD A LIFETIME AHEAD OF HIM. THIS IS SUCH A SAD SITUATION. MY CONDOLENCE’S TO HIS AND HER FAMILIES. TOO ME ITS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT ANY ONE ELSE COMMITTED THIS FOUL ACT.

I stopped watching wrestling years ago when Hulk Hogan stopped wrestling. My son, who was very young at the time, used to love it. I found it entertaining. My cousins and my grandmother used to watch wrestling as well when I was young. Back then, I’m not sure if steroids were even invented yet, but I remember the guys being big and strong and all of them had an “act”. There were never any deaths associated with drug use or with the practice of wrestling as it was. It was just good clean fun. Now I’ve noticed a trend that everyone has to be bigger and better just to get recognition. I can understand why someone who has nothing else in their lives to make a living with would use a drug to enhance a “talent/strength” that they have in order to make a living. I’m not condoning it, I just understand it. When the baseball player (I forget which one now, might have been Darryl Strawberry) was found with drugs, they pulled him from the game and put him in rehab. I see no reason why other sports shouldn’t do the same thing. In an office job situation, if you are found to be addicted to drugs, they pull you from the job, and make you go to rehab. They hold your job open for you after you’ve cleaned up your act to be able to come back and be productive. Why should WWE be any different? Why isn’t random drug testing done to the wrestlers as it is for so many other professional sports? I guess what I’m saying is, yes, I do hold WWE responsible; not just for what happened to Benoit, but for not putting their efforts into controlling their wrestlers as far as their drug use is concerned. I believe that too much emphasis is put on how big you are. If you have a talent for wrestling, so be it. I don’t care if you weight 110 lbs for 275 lbs. There should be classifications for each contendent. That way, there wouldn’t be such a big rush to pursue drug enhancing inducements. Am I wrong?

As a long time fan of wrestling i too blame benoit for his actions. I also blame wwe due to pressure that these guys go through. I mean puttin their family on hold and risking their health for entertainment. (I know its the life they choose). Its a whole lot different then any other sport
unlike baseball,football, basketball etc. there isnt offseason unless they get hurt. I have respect for the sport even through its a soap opera the pain is real. I think there is more to come of the mystery about what happened to chris benoit and his family. I heard today about that someone wrote in wikipedia why chris missied his matches over the weekend “to morn the death of his wife”, but the mystery was why was it posted 14 hours before the police found the bodies? All i have to say is “chris will be missied by the fans and family” may he rest in peace.

this is crazy!!! Why would a person want to kill their own family!?!

i have been a fan for the past 15 years when i say that there is drugs use yes but thats my opioion i think that benoit knew what he was doing at the time and then he went on to to it to himself. thats no one to blam but himself and no one else

We all know that suicide is sin with or without the influence of drugs. I just pity the victims as they still desrved to live. We hope there won’t be any other death from the WWE. Very concerned

Just because steroid use is common in wresteling now days still does not mean that wwe is to be held responsible for Benoit actions and it doesn’t mean they approve of steroid use.Benoit is the only one to blame.

I FEEL RIGHT NOW THAT THERE IS PROBABLY STILL AS MUCH UNKNOWN AS KNOWN ABOUT THIS CASE AND SITUATION. I THINK PEOPLE ARE SPECULATING AT THIS POINT AND JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT PAN OUT. OBVIOUSLY STEROIDS ARE BAD AND DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE NOT USED FOR ACTUAL MEDICAL PURPOSES UNDER THE CARE AND SUPERVISION OF A LISCENSED MD SPECIALIST. THEY ARE UNFORTUNATELY ABUSED THROUGH OUT THE SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT WORLD AND THERE IS NOT ONE LESS GUILTY OR ONE LESS ABUSIVE THAN THE NEXT. IN ORDER FOR SOMEONE TO BECOME AS MADDENED OR ENRAGED TO ACTUALLY DO SUCH A THING THERE HAS TO OBVIOUSLY BE UNDERLYING ISSUES. THE PERSON THEMSELVES MUST BE EMMOTIONALLY, MENTALLY, SPRITUALLY MESSED UP AND THERE ARE MANY MURDER CASES OUT THERE WHERE THERE WERE NO DRUGS INVOLVED AT ALL. DRUGS IN MANY CASES CAN EXCACERBATE, EXCELERATE AND HEIGHTEN THE PROBLEM THAT THE INDIVIDUAL MAY BE EXPERIENCING. SOME FACTS I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT ABOUT CHRIS BENOIT IS THAT HE WAS A PERSON THAT KEPT TO HIMSELF AND ONE KNOWN TO HAVE A SHORT FUSE. ALSO HIM AND HIS WIFE WERE KNOWN TO HAVE PAST ISSUES AND WERE AT ONE TIME VERY CLOSE TO DIVORCE. FROM WHAT I KNOW THEIR SON HAD A MEDICAL CONDITION WHICH CAUSED GREAT STRAIN ON THE COUPLE PARTICULARLY CHRIS. THERE WAS MANY EMPTY ALCOHAL BOTTLES AND CANS FOUND AT THE SCENE AS WELL. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A LOT MORE EXAMINATION OF THE FACTS BEFORE ANYONE JUMPS TO A FINAL CONCLUSION. ITS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THERE ARE PROBABLY MANY MORE CASES OUT THERE SIMILAR TO THIS ONE THAT ULTIMATELY MAY BE HELPED BEFORE SOMETHING TRAGIC LIKE THIS HAS TO HAPPEN. THE TROUBLE IS THEY HAVE TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF WHAT THE ACTUAL CAUSE/S WERE TO BE OF ANY HELP. DO I PERSONALLY BELIEVE CHRIS BENOIT WAS USING STEROIDS? IN ALL LIKELY HOOD, YES. WAS IT THE ULTIMATE CAUSE, I DOUBT IT. THERE HAS TO BE MUCH MORE TO IT THAN THIS.

We are all upset and confused by how Chris Benoit could have killed himself, his wife and child. This is a sad tradegy that is happening too often in our country for many different reasons.
In Chris’ case steriod usage may be one of the causes. Steriod usage must be banned and the idea of being successful at any cost must change in our society. No matter want we do for a living or who we are, God loves us and Has a purpose for our lives. This idea gets lost in the confusion of an extremely materialistic society.
Chris placed a Bible next to his wife and child. What spiritual struggles was he going through that he did not permit the God of that Bible to help him with? Jesus said this about the Word of God: “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the steams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” Matt. 7:24-27 (NIV).
Pray for the family, friends and those who loved Chris and his family. Remember that the Living Word of God is from God and has the power to change our selves in ways that go beyond our wildest dreams. The Psalmist wrote: “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. Ps. 119:105 (NIV)
There is a lot of deceit, confusion and darkness in this world, but there is also light — Jesus Christ. God bless all who read this and may God give you peace, understanding and grace in Jesus Christ. We don’t have to self destruct because we don’t have answers. Read your Bible.

HE DIDN’T DO IT JARHEAD!!!!!!!

This is certainly a tragedy for all involved. Let us remember that it is not the will of God for people to die in this manner, it is his will for all to repent. Christ Beniot made some choices of his own, influenced by the pressures of being a pro-wrestler, and also the spiritual forces at work to destroy life that God created. The WWE is not to blame in this matter. We need to wait and see what the evidence is and wait for the toxicology report to come in. Let’s continue to show our support and prayers to the remaining families involved.

As to go with the general opinion of everyone else I too see this as terrible tragedy. God truly knows what was going on in this home as well as what was in Chris’heart on the days leading up to this.
But then again Chris and Nancy were also aware of the problems between them. It is not for us as mere mortals to be the judge and jury in this tragic and unfortunate turn of events.
I personally have sympathy for all of the loved ones that have been affected by these unexpected and untimely deaths.
Even though it has been said that Chris “apparently” sent Nancy to the Lord first and left a bible next to her,then he proceeded to send their son home to the Lord leaving a bible next to him as well, tells me that Chris DID have faith of the Lord in his heart.
But lets not forget Chris himself did not have a kind death either.
He hung hisself from a weight machine pully,which has cables to raise and lower the weight as one pulls on it.I am absolutely sure that the cable had to have cut into his kneck and throat before he ever died, so there was even more pain he had to endure along with the pain of knowing what he had done to his wife and child, as well as what punishment suicide and murder carries with the Lord. This man truly died of a broken heart long before this ever happened, we will never know the reasons behind any of this. I just hope and pray that somewhere in the after life Chris and his family will have peace.
There is no one to place the blame on here, because if we all take a good look at ourselves for a minute our faith has faultered at one point or another in our lives as well. I know mine has.
God Bless to all the families and friends of Chris, Nancy and Daniel. This is just truly, truly sad for all those involved and my heart and prayers are with you.

I truly feel for his family and hers, they are left behind to deal with this.
For a man to choke hold his son, and tie his wife up and kill them a day apart, that is horrible.
And than he hangs himself. The man was seriously ill, if it be the fact that the steriods were the problems or he was depressed, or angry at his wife, no one will truly ever know the truth.
Or really why he did this.
His family and hers are in my prayers

Laying blame on any entity (Benoit, WWE, etc) in this tragedy accomplishes nothing. Benoit committed this horror, not McMahon, nor the WWE. Condemn the guy all you like. Likewise, McMahon/WWE. What is needed here are real solutions to the drug problem. Until THAT happens, there will very likely be many more like tragedies.

First of all there is no point of Vince faking his death> He is horrible. You play dead and look what happens a real death takes place. Vince needs to grow up.

RULE #1:GOD MAKES THE RULES. RULE #2:CITY,COUNTY,STATE,&FEDERAL,”OFFICIALS”,FIRMLY,BELIEVE,THAT THE REST OF THE POPULATION(THATS US FOLKS),ARE GULLIBLE.SO,DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH,AND BELIEVE NOTHING THEY SPEW FORTH ABOUT ANYONE.FOR THE BIGGEST TELLERS OF FALSE INFORMATION ARE?,..”PUBLIC OFFICIALS”,WHICH INCLUDES LAW ENFORCEMENT,GO FIGURE.SO,RULE #2,IS: DO NOT! JUST BELIEVE WHAT THEY SAY,MAKE THEM PROVE WHAT THEY SAY!.(REMEMBER,THERE ARE A WHOLE LOT OF “FALSE PROPHETS”OUT THERE,THAT LOVE TO LEAD PEOPLE ASTRAY).WORLD’S UP & GOD BLESS.

A couple of you seem to get it, but there are still those of you that dont. It was already stated that there was no note left behind by Benoit, so it will never be known why this truly happened. Most everyone in life it taught to be reactive rather than proactive, so why dont we find out what he had in his house and blame it on that. It does not matter because no matter what the toxicology report states on the autopsy the out come of the matter will be pure speculation. I could go on a fricken huge rant about a hundered different comparissons to like situations or possible like situations and we could ban or make every gosh dang thing in the country illegal because someone used it in a manner that they should not have and some one died, Life is a choice and we all have decisions to make “good or bad” leave it alone already.

I was a girl friend of a wrestler for about 5 years. I know what kind of men they are. On the outside, they are everybody’s hero and superman. They are big, mascular, Godly, just and kind. Inside, they are like a terminte infested house.

You can blame the W.W.E., Vince, Benoit or the drugs, but the fact remains, a husband, wife and their 7 yr. old son live’s have been taken. We’re dealing with a national media that worships Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and everybody’s favorite, Bradgalina, and report only what the Pentagon tells them to when it comes to Iraq,and yet it has got the nerve to demonize this man without any consideration to his family whatsoever . The only crimes you don’t hear about are the moral ones that our “Fair and balanced” media outlets comits on a daily basis. Stop pointing the fingers and start directing your prayers to the family. Only GOD CAN JUDGE. God bless them all!!!

i think both chris and wwe are in the wrong,BUT it doesn’t matter NOTHING will ever bring them back,plus No one in this world cares if they did would we still be at war, would the news be up all the nicole,paris,andwho ever else is a female,face it when things like this happen the people like all of us are ALWAYS lied to always we will never know the truth of any thing of the rich ever, unless we get like them,i feel really sorry for the wife and childs family, i also feel sorry for chris family, I know how it feels to lose some one in your family and like a family member to suicide it sucks. I just hope maybe now sad to say it takes this to happen but maybe NOW WWE will crack down on all test all. Because US the people dont want to hear about this we want to hear good things.

HI;TO EVERONE
I JUST WANTED TO SHARED MY THOUGH ABOUT TRAGIC AND AND DEATH OF CHRIS BENOIT HIS WIFE AND LITTLE GIRL.
MY HEAD IS STILL GOING AROUNDING AND AROUNDINR ABOUR THAT BUT LET ME FIRST SAY THAT I AGREE WITH SOMEONE ELS ON THE WEB BY THE NAME OF MYSPACE.COM/STRONREZTMAN3 THATS THE WAY THAT I FEEL ABOUT THE HOLD THING TOO IT SO REFREASEN TO SEE THAT SOMEONE THINK OF THING LIKE YOU DO BECAUSE THAT MY BELIVE ALSO.
AND OUT THEIR IN WEB LAND LET US PRAY FOR THE RELATIVES OF CHRIS BENOIT AND NANCY AND THEIR LITTLE GIRL BECAUSE THEY NEED OUR PRAYERS MORE NOW THAN ANY THING ELS IN THE WORLD.
LET US NOT FORGET ABOUT WWE AND MR. VINCE MCHON TO PRAY FOR HIM ALSO BECAUSE HE NEED PRAYS TO EVERYBODY NEED TO BE PRAYED FOR IN THIS TIME OF CONCERNED LESS NOT BE SO QUICK TO BLAME MR. MC MAHON FOR SOMEBODY ON ACTION THIS IS WAY I SAY LET TAKE IT TO OUR KNEES IN GOD PRAYERS.

GOD IS LOVE SWEETHEART.

I personally don’t believe Chris did this horrorific thing.
As an X detective knowing n seeing things that I have this could have been an elabrit scheme to where professional hit could be to blame.
Think about it wife strangled, than son then self Its been done in real life on the east coast and in the movies.

this is sad what has happened in the BENOIT family, but so much does not add up, the posting of nancy’s death 14 hrs. before the bodies were even found, what a rare happening that this came out of the wwe head quarters, kinda makes it look like someone had esp huh ? whats even more strange is all the text messeges. some thing about all of this just does not add up. anyone who keeps up with the wresteling entertainment knows that there is alot that goes on behind closed doors. everyone is talking about this roid rage it will be very interesting to see what the toxaligy report reveals . benoit was a great entainer looking at the clips of him with his little son it is hard to believe that this man would kill his 7 year old son and his beautiful wife. every child deserves a chance at life even though his little child was mentaly challanged, by watching chris with him on many tv wrestleing events you can see the love he had for this child, yes everyone is right something offel happened to offel for words, but will we ever relly know just what it was? i say no. may everyone of them rest in peace, and if chris benoit really is at blame then may his soul rest in peace because here on this earth if he did this then his soul was lost at the time he killed a wife and son that no matter what anyone says you just knew he loved them so much. so be it roid rage, drugs, or what ever he will be judged by the only one who really knows GOD.

TEARS FOR THE BENOIT FAMILY YES EVEN CHRIS. IF HE DID THIS HE LOST HIS MIND FOR SOME REASON AND MAY NEVER KNOW WHAT IT WAS TO MAKE THIS MAN TAKE HIS FAMILYS LIVES. BLESS NANCY AND THE LITTLE ANGEL WHOS TIME ON THIS EARTH WAS SO SHORT, BUT A HUSBAND AND FATHER WHO COULD DO SUCH A UNTHINKABLE ACT HAD TO BE OUT OF HIS HEAD , BODY AND SOUL, BUT HOW COULD ALL THIS LEAVE THIS MAN ? THESE ARE WHAT MAKES YOU HUMAN, SO WE ARE NO MORE THAN A MONSTER WHEN WE LOSE OUR HEARTS AND SOUL. BUT HOW? I DONT BELIEVE ROID RAGE, IT LASTED TO LONG, DRUGS ? WHO KNOWS, MAYBE DAYS ON CRACK OR METH I COULD KIND OF SEE IT MORE CLEAR, BUT WHEN A CAREING, LOVEING, HUSBAND AND FATHER BECOMES A HEARTLESS MONSTER THEN WHO KNOWS WHAT OR WHO HAS A HAND IN IT ? AND I SAY MONSTER , EVIL, THE DEMONS VISITED HIM. IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT DOCTORS SAY OR ANYONE ELSE, SOMETHING NONE OF US CAN UNDERSTAND HAPPENED TO HIM DUERING THESE DAYS THIS ALL TOOK PLACE, I WISH I COULD SAY HE DIDNT DO IT , IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE THAT MADE IT LOOK LIKE HE DID IT, BUT WILL WE EVER REALLY KNOW FOR SURE? MAY THEY REST IN PEACE YES EVEN CHRIS. ONLY GOD HAS THE POWER TO KNOW PEOPLES MINDS AND HEARTS AND WHAT REALLY HAPPENED THOSE HEART BREAKING LAST DAYS.

I’m not a wwe fan I used to watch wrestling in the 70′s and 80′s but it has become more of a circus than wrestling. No one will ever know what happened because all involved are dead.But if this had and does happen everyday to people who aren’t famous and they might run it one day in the paper then it becomes page 5 news. This is a tragedy for a man or anyone to kill their loved ones and then themselves. No one is really to blame, it was a senseless waste of human lives.But if this is going to be used for anything it should be used to educate our young men and women of the dangers of steroids or any drug use within the family.Make people aware of the help thats out there before emotions and anger reach this point.Who knows maybe this tragedy can save someone else from the same fate.

FROM MY HUSBAND AND I GOD BLESS THE FAMILY THAT IS LEFT TO DEAL WITH THIS HEART BREAK. WE LAY NO FAULT OR BLAME , ONLY GIVE OUR DEEPEST PRAYERS TO THE BROKEN HEARTS OF BOTH SIDES OF THE FAMILYS, LET THEM MOURN IN PEACE. IF CHRIS DID THIS, ???????????????? THEN ALOT HIGHER POWER THAN MAN WILL JUDGE…. GOD BLESS TO THE FAMILYS AL OVER THE WORLD DEALING WITH SUCH THINGS EVIL IS ALL AROUND US, JUST TURN ON THE NEWS A DOZEN STORIES A DAY, MAY THEY ALL REST IN PEACE.

Estella your right on the money !!
I’m with you.

He is going to be missed. What ever really happened in that house will never be known because the people are no longer with us. We need to stop blaming anyone and focus on praying for the families in their time of need. Remember Chris for the happy times that he has brought into our homes.
It would have been nice if he could have had someone to talk his problems out with. Then maybe this would not have happened.
My family’s pray’s our with your family. God Bless you.

I don’t know who you are to think that benoit relly killed his family, yes i thought that he did it at frist but he rely love his family and would never do anything to hurt them. So before you start pointing fingers at benoit look back in the history of wresting it clearing show that he loved his family. So to end this I say look at McMahon bcause he been know to do something like that.
thank you
a man who belives in benoit

I heard something about him and is wife fighting about the kid being mentally handicapped and she didn’t feel like the child would ever being able to live a “normal” life. Apparently he disagreed, and could no longer live with the pressure of this argument that they allegedly had daily. By no means am I condoning any of this……I’m just saying that from my understanding there are other factors involved besides steroids.

anybody who knows there bible knows the commandment thou shalt not kill. wheather steroids played a roll in this sensless act or not is irrelavent.

First of all I bestow my deepest sympathy to the Benoit family and friends. I will be praying for them. This is a very senseless tragic taking of precious lives. I don’t know the facts of what happen in this man life but noone in their right mind does something like this. our country is in a moral decline and without Jesus it will only get worst. Let’s all pray,seek God while he still can be found.

Let’s just blame him, ok?

I am very sad at the events that unfolded that resulted in the deaths of the Benoit family. People are quick to put the blame on the steroid use, but in all reality, we don’t know what was going on in his personal life. With a rocky marriage, or maybe some infidelity, it can be easy for a person to snap, especially with the pressures that was put on him. The steroids may have contributed to their deaths, but we as fans, or just outsiders, were not there when the crime was committed, so we can not judge him. It was senseless, and a great loss. Just remember the good times and the entertainment that he has given his fans, and let the family rest in peace…

you know we know that chris is to blame for this he did have other choses and he did not have to take their lives but none of us know what was realy going on in that household and their is no excuse for what he did i dont beleive it was the meds. he was on but you know sometimes a person can only deal with so mush and that again is not an excuse to take lives. i am a woman and i think it maybe that his wife was putting a lot of pursure on him about the little boy and his future and that may have sent him over the edge.i do beleive that he loved the boy more than anything and maybe chris could not face the fact that the little boy would not have a mormal life none of us know but if he done it out of meanness then god will deal with him my prayers are with both familys. exspecaly with chris’s becouse his family not only has to deal wth his death but the fact that he is the one that done it.

i believe that there is more to this story that we are being told. we don’t know for sure if chris and his wife were having problems in their marriage or not. we are not going to know “the real motive” for the murder/sudicide. think about this for a moment that if chris’ wife was filing for a divorce and was going to take his son away from him. then chris got mad and went into a rage and killed her then his son. then a few days later he could not live with himself so he killed himself.

I think you guys need to take a step back and stop judging the WWE I truly believe that the money Vince makes is enough for him to care about his guys they are all family and sometimes things go wrong and horrible things occur but to say Vince doesnt care about the drugs is insane he has nothing to gain but everything to lose if his guys freak out what Chris did was horrible and no one was there to tell what very happened what set him off it could have been a family issue because i truly believe that the WWE was everything to him he was to win the ECW belt that sunday

I want to known if he killed her before going to the fight if so are you sure that someone didn,t make it look like he killed them? Dont you think it was odd for him to leave his address so many times and he could have been drug.All i have seen is that you called a MUDER/SUICIDE right off the bat you didn,t look into any other thing .He wanted the titled hello you didn,t look into it very good in my book sorry to say he left clues cant you see that…

I grew up watching wrestling and my husband is also a fan and have gone through a personal loss something like this. I only have strong feelings for everything I have read. No matter your believes or feelings there is only this to say. If all you have to do is talk about a families loss and blame who you think should be blamed then you have issuses of your own to deal with. What people should relize yes the celebrities are in the public eye but there is a line that for no reason should be crossed. Put it this way, if you were to go through this type of tragedy then would you want people that do not know you personally to put there comments out there. I presonally think it helps no one, expecially not the family. So instead of talking out of you butt about something that has nothing to do with you why dont you put that energy to good use and help the people of our country with the homeless or the children that have no one to love them. Basically MIND YOUR OWN BUSINSESS!!!

who knows ? if they want us to know the truth then we will , if not we wont. simple as that……. as they say. oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deseave…………. wwe’s moto….. there is hush money and people being bought and sold in this field of entertainment, i’m just saying people that fall into this web have bad results from it look back through the years,,, but our hearts still go out to the lost and to the famlies of the lost, so sad, but will never know the real truth ,hes a labled man now either way.

Im a hudge Benoit fan. The only person i can bvlalme for these actuon is him and the people who gave him the steriods…..

I don’t know about what really happened. I wasn’t there, but what if he was framed. Has anyone thought of that?
I am not saying he didn’t do it ither, but I wouldn’t want people to talk crap about me when I died. I just want to say this is a tragedy, but I think whatever is found in the future. We will all get over it!
So please don’t be too judging. If he did do it It’s all in God’s hands! I don’t have a great fettish for this man, but i just think that it’s wrong what we all believe what we read. Yes, he is dead! Have a great day!

c’mon how can you blame the WWE for what these men that take steroids are doing football baseball hockey bicycling in fact all professional and college ,amateur,even high school sports have drug use running rampant if you want to blame somebody blame ourselves for allowing drug use to run so rampant and not treating steroid use the same as other killer drugs like cigarettes,crack,alcohol, and heroin .as long as we want our teams and atheletes to win at all costs there will be no change if you want to blame someone why not blame the goverment for doing next to nothing for stopping this or providing the manpower to seriously combat drug use . this will never happen until the pharmaceutical companys and big buisness is controlled and punished for there part in drug abuse. as citizens of the U S A this will never change we like our drugs and what they do way to much to stop now . Whether it is one wrestler the cia or big buisness nothing will change until we change as a society and our need for immediate gratification on all levels.

I dont think it is anyones fault but the publics fault. We push and push to see more and more drama on the wwe monday night raw and all the others. There are actors and singers doing the samething. I think the public needs to back off because the stars are going to snap. They are just like us. They cant go anywhere without being hassled and it gets to demanding and they snap. It is on the news everyday about poeple that is not even famous do it and poeple dont make a big deal out of it. Don’t get me wrong I am not defending him but we dont need to make a big deal over it. Life is Life. I am very upset because I have meet him and he was a great guy. Drugs make people do stupid things. So lets just let it go and get on with ur lifes.

It’s just a very sad tragedy that no-one could have predicted. I watch the wrestling every week and Chris was a great personal favourite of mine. http://wwemania17.blogspot.com. He will be sorely missed.

I beleive that you are responsible for your own actions, and it doesnt matter if the WWE wants to acknowledge the fact a wrestler is using or not, they need to set the standard for these people to be hi not drug users. Chris did indeed use the steroids according to the news, and yes he has a history of not being stable, so the two do not mix and therefor you get a reaction that is in fact in this case murder/suicide!

Are you talking about the character played in the show as you judge Chris and the actions that have happened?
Or are you looking at the person behind the character played?
You are quick to admit that the program is a show, but not so quick to allow the people on it to be actors–and in reality, be someone other than the characters they portray.
Chris was a quiet and kind person. I wasn’t there during the last days and hours of his life to observe what went through his heart and his mind. Things may have been very different then, but I wasn’t there. Were you?

noone was there but the ones who can no longer talk now. or who knows for sure ?

WWE can not take all the blame, America, including myself pays billions of dollars to see violence on TV. And with that violence you see drugs, alchohol, rape, murder. So if we are blaming the WWE, lets blame ourself. If noone watched, they would stop making them. Just STOP looking for someone to blame, lets all agree that whatever happened in that house was horrible, and leave it up to God to deal with the rest.

i have been watching wwe sence the 70s and i know alot about this and its sad to read what everyone wrote and you all probly loved chris when he was wrestling and now you turn your backs on him no of us know or will ever know what really happened in that house that horrifing night and me for one still will stand by the wwe even if i dont agree with everything that is said and done on that show. Chris was a great wrestler and entainer of his sport. I wish we know what drove him to do what he did but instead of pointing the finger at vince we should be looking at the doctor who gave him the meds.

I WANT TO SY THAT I’V BEEN WHATCHING WWE SINCE I WAS 12 YEARS OLD,BUT AS I GREW OLDER I SAW IT TO BE FAKE AND BAD FOR THE YOUNGER VIEWERS.THE WOMEN SHOULD’NT BE SHOWING ALL THAT THEY SHOW IN FRONT OF THE KIDS.IT’S NOT ABOUT WOMEN,IT’S ABOUT WRESTLING.
