Some Excellent Analysis on the Chris Benoit
Situation at the PWtorch.
Repeated concussions mat have caused most of the cheese to fall from the cracker.
...As Chris Nowinski brought up in today's New York Times article, repeated untreated concussions should be part of the investigation of Benoit's actions and changes WWE could make to help prevent future deaths.
I was appaled that WWE let Chris Benoit continue to do his top rope headbutt dive after his neck surgery. I was told by a WWE official, when I questioned him, "What are we supposed to do? Fine him or suspend him if he keeps doing it?" "Yes!" was my answer. They didn't. ...

Benoit Shot Up His 7 Year Old Boy
The wheels fell off this guy's wagon a long time ago.
From the NY daily News:
Tiny son got illegal boosts?
Wrestler was juicing boy with growth-hormone drug - official
...Pro wrestler Chris Benoit apparently was pumping human-growth hormone into his 7-year-old son in the weeks before he killed his wife, the boy and himself at their suburban Atlanta home while consumed by "roid rage," a prosecutor said yesterday.

WWE's Jillian Hall Calls Benoit Disgusting - DEA Raids Benoit's Doctor's Office
Remember, we were one of the first to condemn Benoit to fucking hell. We hope he is eating pus sandwiches in Hades. ;)
From PWTorch:
Jillian wrote the following on her MySpace page:
"Well, by now the whole world knows of the horrible news that took place this week. With all of the comments and messages from people saying how sorry they are for our loss, I figured I would speak in general. I am 100% in agreeance with WWE and Mr. McMahon on completely erasing all tributes to Chris Benoit. While he had always been nice and polite to me and most of the WWE talent, what he did is completely disgusting and unforgiveable! This man who could have been a legend has demolished his reputation. My heart goes out to Nancy and the adorable Daniel and the family and friends they left behind!"
Drug Agents Raid Dr. Office Who Prescribed Medication to WWE Wrestler Chris Benoit
...The office of Dr. Phil Astin was raided overnight with agents confiscating computers. Dr. Astin has told the Associated Press that he had prescribed testoserone for the wrestler in the past and had seen him on Friday. ...

If this "roid range" nonsense were true, half of professional sports would be in friggin prison.

Chris Benoit Saw Doctor Before
Murders:
Excerpt From the AP:
Benoit had been under the care of Dr. Phil Astin, a longtime friend, for treatment of low testosterone levels. Astin said the condition likely originated from previous steroid use.
Astin prescribed testosterone for Benoit in the past but would not say what, if any, medications he prescribed the day of their meeting.
"He was in my office on Friday to stop by just to see my staff," Astin said. "He certainly didn't show any signs of any distress or rage or anything."

FROM PWTORCH - LINK TO FULL ARTICLE
A woman tells News 1130 in Vancouver, B.C. that Chris Benoit's son Daniel had a condition called Fragile X syndrome. Wikipedia describes the symptoms:
Aside from intellectual disability (mental retardation), prominent characteristics of the syndrome include an elongated face, large or protruding ears.......

They gave this piece of shit a hero's send off on Raw last night?!? They should have been removing all mention of him from the WWE web site.
I just read a rumor that the wife murdered the son and it sent Benoit over the edge and he killed her. If this is true, then he is a hero. Let's wait and see. My fingers are crossed.

WWE Wrestler Chris Benoit and Family Found Dead
This just hit me like a ton of bricks:
FROM WWE.COM Chris Benoit, family found dead
STAMFORD, Conn., June 25, 2007 – World Wrestling Entertainment was informed today by authorities in Fayetteville County, Ga., that WWE Superstar Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and his son were found dead in their home. Authorities are investigating, but no other details are available at this time.

Chris was beloved among his fellow Superstars, and was a favorite among WWE fans for his unbelievable athleticism and wrestling ability.
