Benoit's History

[AAP]

Before her grisly death, Chris Benoit's wife once told a judge that she was, "intimidated by threats of violence" from her 220 lb. husband.

In divorce papers filed in 2003, Nancy Benoit included a petition for protection from domestic abuse against Chris. In the papers, Nancy claimed that Benoit, "lost his temper and threatened to strike the petitioner and cause extensive damage to the home and personal belongings of the parties, including furniture." Nancy added that she was, "in reasonable fear for petitioner's own safety and that of the minor child."

Three months later, Nancy filed to have the divorce papers and the restraining order dismissed. A short time later, a judge granted her wish.

As TMZ first reported, law enforcement sources tell TMZ they believe Benoit strangled his wife on Saturday, smothered his son on Sunday and then hanged himself on Monday.

[all the whey]

They are also reporting he may have been texting wrestlers during the ppv. Also, he may have been watching with his son or had just killed him.

 

[AAP]

Strangled his wife with an electrical cord, smothered his son with a garbage bag over his head.

 

[The Shadow]

Doesnt he have another son??

 

[mobro]

does anybody know the reason, if there even is one, behind any of this? i know there is no real reason, just what set it all off. his spot in "vengeance" was replaced several days early right?

 

[the_clockwork]

steroids did this

 

[AAP]

Doesnt he have another son??

2 more children from another relationship.

 

[all the whey]

No. He was scheduled to win the belt, but he didn't show up to the ppv. He has had problems with his wife in the past.

 

[all the whey]

Fox news channel is reporting that steroids were found in his home.

Do you think he juiced for the murders?

What was his cycle like?

as did CNN

 

[slat1]

I heard the neck surgery he had leaves people in extreme pain.
Makes you wonder if there was any pain killer abuse.

 

[AAP]

I blame WWE referees for this. Chris probably didn't see her tap out and kept the Cripple Crossface on her too long. If the refs had been there, they could have made him break the hold.

That's sooooo wrong on so many levels.

word is, they found an empty syringe next to his body
it had traces of trenbolone in it

Dang..... that's a really fucked up story.

Some people are just defects.... How could you kill your own child like that?

Welp, I won't need to do abs tonight.

just messin around

 

[AAP]

He failed to see her foot was on the ropes.

 

[AAP]

Looking at the condition his face in... I would say the steroids in the house were hers.

 

[rnch]

dayum! she looks meaner than he does in this pic.

 

[all the whey]

Fox News channel reports that his texts to Chavo may have been instructions for him for bank accounts and taking care of the dogs.

 

[gotmilk]

damn...I'd punch myself in the face if I married that....

You should inject 600mg of enanthate weekly, go into roid rage, and decapitate the ex.

 

[Bikini Mod]

LOL Already been accused of that shit by him. He has made THE DUMBEST allegations... but hey, who ever said that any allegation has to have some sort of basis.

I remember being asked by one of his dumbass attorneys if I would submit to a test for A/S use. I said, "Absolutely! I will if he will." To which she promptly replied by sitting down and shutting the fuck up.

... that was back in the day when we were appearing before a judge that had HALF a brain.

 

[dead_reggin_storage_fashi]

Yes I wonder what his cycle was all about?

 

[chesty]

Well, of all the killers who have murdered their family and then killed themselves, none that I know of skipped worked by asking for time off due to a family emergency. And without knowing the contents of the txt messages he sent to his friends during the period they were killed, it is also plausible that he was in over his head with less than savory charactors and that they told him they had his wife and son and would kill them. For what, I won't speculate, but I suspect that he got the time off, went home and found his wife and son dead and out of grief either hung himself blaming himself for their death or when he got there the perpetrators killed him.

I could be wrong, but I find it odd that he would txt his friends during this and since the cops aren't releasing the info (if they truly believed it muder/suicide) then there is no reason not too.

I also find it highly dispicable that the news media, even Fox is already blaming this on roid rage which is highly unsubstantiated condition.

If he did kill them (why would he, he hd everything, at least on the surface) I doubt drugs made him do it.

 

[JonPee]

The man murdered his 7 year old son. I don't think calling in to work is what's "weird" about this situation. And in your scenario wouldn't a Tony Montana ending be more suiting than just hanging yourself? I guess it's a possibility, but it's not supported by anything at all.

 

[mobro]

not yet anyway, but it feels better than thinking a man got so far that he killed his little boy. and it does make sense, why would he kill his wife one day, son the next, then himself the third? of course none of it makes sense and it's not supposed to. i guess it goes to show, everything on the outside doesn't give you anything on the inside.
i know how I love my son, and if he did it, I can't imagine what the poor man was going through.

 

[bigmann245]

how much do you think they will spin the shit out of the steroid even if the toxicology report shows no signs. the news said the WWE tests for roids now and that he tested negative several times. now i know they could be tipped off and all but the testing and the toxicology will prove it wasnt roids but us americans will form our own opinion and say otherwise. next thing you know the president will sign a bill making the punishment for posession death.

Did you not the part about how his wife tried to leave him because of domestic violence?

That is all the information anyone needs.

 

[H_T_]

a couple things.....before he died, he became a child murderer. and before facing any retribution, he snuffed himself. idk if i should be grateful or not, saving us $$$ by not having a trial and a lengthy prison stay. too bad Titus didn't do the same. oh, and LOL @ short people!!! wtf???

They don't *magically* wake up one day and decide they found Jesus and will quit treating those that are weaker than they are like shit.

It just baffles me that there are some people that just dont get this.

i agree. and sexual abusers need way stiffer punishment because it has been clinically shown that there is no cure for it. they can spend 60 years in jail but the very day they are released they will have the need to do it again. here in florida they are trying to make it tougher on sex offenders and im glad.

 

[AAP]

Abusers become that way from childhood programming. Many different factors can contribute to someone developing abusive tendencies later in life. You can't cure an abuser. You can only stop them from abusing YOU or their current victim. But there is no cure. You would have to strip them down of years of imbedded mental programming, going all the way back to their childhood.

lots of dudes smack their women around. lots of EF dudes, too....

Here is a little something for peeps to chew on....

"A recent Newsweek article noted the finding of a Harvard study that in custody cases involving documented spousal abuse, 54% granted custody to the batterer, and parental alienation was used as an argument in nearly every single one."

let's get back on track and talk about murderous wrestlers....

 

[nefertiti]

I haven't looked for substantiation on this, but I heard on the radio this morning that they found injection marks on his son, and they said something about his son being injected with HGH because Benoit and wife thought he was "undersized." Pretty effed up if true.

 

[heavy_duty]

It was one killer cycle man.

Yes I wonder what his cycle was all about?

 

[bigmann245]

I haven't looked for substantiation on this, but I heard on the radio this morning that they found injection marks on his son, and they said something about his son being injected with human growth hormone - somatropin - because Benoit and wife thought he was "undersized." Pretty effed up if true.

if thats true it is disgusting. they werent kidding when they said this was bazar.

 

[Bikini Mod]

let's get back on track and talk about murderous wrestlers....

Come on.... he was framed.

I mean, this guy was like, a pinnacle of society. The wrestling gig was "just for show". Fox TV said so. I mean, didn't you see the tribute?

*shakes head*

This guy's problem was not steriods. HE was his problem... like every other abusive sonofabitch.

the wife coulda done something though....she killed her kid by not acting.

True enough... but then again, look at me and my kids. And 54% of the other mothers who speak out against their abusive ex's...

There are no easy answers, sad to say.

 

[nefertiti]

Found confirmation of the injection marks on the son. I guess only a toxicology can confirm the rest.

 

[AAP]

Found confirmation of the injection marks on the son. I guess only a toxicology can confirm the rest.

You know when they showed pictures of the little boy on WWE 's tribute, he did have a strange looking face.

 

[EnderJE]

I still can't believe that they guy did it because I believed in the guy that they portrayed on TV. Damn. Just damn.

 

[Mr. Black]

Found confirmation of the injection marks on the son. I guess only a toxicology can confirm the rest.

That is somewhat strange seeing as most injections, especially if done subcutaneously (as is done with GH) with a slin pin leave no mark...

 

[nefertiti]

That is somewhat strange seeing as most injections, especially if done subcutaneously (as is done with gh - growth hormone (somatropin) - ) with a insulin pin leave no mark...

The article say injection marks suggesting "regular medical treatment." So unless he was diabetic....

 

[The Shadow]

hgh ans slin wil not leave injection marks unless you have a skin reaction at injection ppoint

 

[nefertiti]

human growth hormone - somatropin - ans insulin wil not leave injection marks unless you have a skin reaction at injection ppoint

Well what would? Of anything that you would get injected "Regularly"

 

[The Shadow]

Dunno....even most gear will not leave a mark if you hit the muscle deep enough and give enough time to let the bolus disperse.

Something strange about all of that.

 

[billfred]

I miss Adrian Adonis.

and the Funk brothers

Super Destroyer

Rick Flair ... Whoooo!!

 

[The Shadow]

Heheheh - Flair is still wrestling

 

[Mr. Black]

Well what would? Of anything that you would get injected "Regularly"

If the kid was on a cycle using 23 awg needles...that might leave a mark

 

[H_T_]

they're saying the kid was real small for his age. borderline dwarf-ish...

 

[The Shadow]

If the kid was on a cycle using 23 awg needles...that might leave a mark

there isnt anything that would reuire that gauge though

fina will go through a 25 or a slin pretty easily.


Could be though

he's that guy that knows lots of stuff.

Was that the wheelchair-bound horribly disabled but supergenious guy who was abused by his last wife? Wasn't she caught in some sort of murder plot?

If not then.... nevermind.

I thought there was only one incident occured where family members thought he was assaulted ; but he denied the abuse.

I have not heard anything about a murder plot!! Crazy.

 

[-SD-]

Do you think he juiced for the murders?

What was his cycle like?

cheque drops, rob.

Nothing about steroids itself....'cause I know abso-freakin-lutely nothing about them.

I said that killing two people in two days, three in three if you include himself, sounds absolutely nothing like any kind of "rage." It sounds methodical and intentional. I also said that I was sick of society always trying to scapegoat in these kinds of situations. Oh it was the drugs!! Oh it was Marilyn Manson!! All so we can sleep better at night because we gave ourselves a nice neat explanation rather than facing the uncomfortable reality that all on it's own - without any help - the human mind CAN be that messed up.

 

[The Shadow]

I bet you Chris was on antidep.

it is uncomfortable and scary though to think that the human mind can do that. In my own mind an explanation would be that evil does exist in this world. True evil.

I would hate to think that the last seconds of my life would be looking into the eyes of the person I chose to spend the rest of my life with (one who you trust not to try and take your life) killing me.

he used a choke hold, so he was behind her, just like doggiestyle, men don't like looking at youse women when we do the nasty...

True enough... but then again, look at me and my kids. And 54% of the other mothers who speak out against their abusive ex's...

Can't say I care for how you twisted the words around on your second quote. Granted, I did not read the Newsweek article, but from the information you presented it appears they were referring to "spousal" abuse. The definition of spouse is either member of a married pair in relation to the other; one's husband or wife. In your second quote you make it sound as if the entire 54% of the abused were women. During the course of my parents 16 year marriage my mother has hit my father (once), but my father has never hit my mother. Both of my parents will tell you the same, so there's really no two sides to the story. When they divorced my mother had custody of my brother and I, would she not be part of that 54% of batterers that were awarded custody? One might say in the majority of the cases it was the women who was abused, and I'd agree with that statement, but your interpretation appears to be sexist and skewed.

 

[cindylou]

[Wendy21]

I definitely believe that there was a lot of contributors to his suicide along with his families. They say he was taking steroids, but I think he was depressed as well.

 

[puddlemonkey]

Dammit, where's my apology? I didn't type all that dribble out to be ignored!!!

I'm sorry??!!??!!??

[thelion2005]

I do enjoy the way Vince took a giant step away from all this in his words before the ECW broadcasted matches. May the name Benoit be stricken and never mentioned again in the WWE.

 

[DannoMight]

I bet you Chris was on antidep.

and painkillers and probably some type of rec drug like coke or meth. There was a special on TV about wrestlers and drug use and Rowdy Roddy Piper was talking about him and most others doing a bunch of drugs regularly.

 

[ortiz34]

and painkillers and probably some type of rec drug like coke or meth. There was a special on TV about wrestlers and drug use and Rowdy Roddy Piper was talking about him and most others doing a bunch of drugs regularly.

No question about it, either that or the wife asked for the big D.

 

[chesty]

Did you not the part about how his wife tried to leave him because of domestic violence?

That is all the information anyone needs.

Yeah, I read it and if she was really in fear of her life she would have left. I have no sympathy for those who won't get out of a violent situation.

The fact that she filed for restraining order does not matter, it was several years ago and she never filed anything since personally asking to withdraw her complaint and the judge agreed with her.

As far as I am concerned there is more to this than what we see on the surface and everyone is rushing to make judgement against him. If he did it, then so be it, he will get his in hell. But the investigation is continuing.

And being an abuser is not incurable, it requires the will and desire to not hurt someone else and help in reaching that goal. Just like alcholics who want to not drink anymore, drug users who do not want to use drugs anymore, etc.

I have issues with the childhood being the root cause of someone being an abuser. I was fairly well abused by my father most of my childhood, not spanked mind you, beaten, had my collar bone broken at 4 or 5 years of age, etc. I don't hit my kids, nor have I ever hit either of my wives or any of my girlfriends.

While the child hood experience may make you more prone, only you decide whether or not to act on your impulses to hurt someone.

I still find the whole incident strange and not adding up.

And how do we know that the Benoit's did not have a prescription to administer medication to their son. I also find it odd, that somehow, he has needle marks in his arm and they immediately knew it was from GH, also, you don't inject GH in your arm.

I think the toxicology reports will be interesting and inconclusive.

 

[mobro]

So wendy is an alt?

well hell no! not by me anyway. i don't have time to keep up with myself, must less create another one!

 

[MichaelScott]

agree chesty it doesnt seem to add up at all, there has got to me more to it

 

[samoth]

So wendy is an alt?

She appears unique.

Still, she should know better than to start posting in chat with < 10 posts and "Gender: F" under her name.

 

[harmonica]

So I've been hearing for 2 days or so that there was an entry in Wikipedia about the deaths 2 hours before the cops found them.............yet I havnt seen it mentioned on EF. I may have missed it.

 

[gotmilk]

done from a Stamford CT IP address too.

McMahon did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MichaelScott]

feel bad of vinny mcmahon, he kills himself off to get away from tv and now a month later he is in a shitstorm, all he wanted was a little time off of tv and now look..

 

[Smurfy]

couldn't Benoit have made that posting on wiki>?

 

[MichaelScott]

if he was in conneticut when he posted, the person posted from a computer with an ip address in stamford, ct

 

[Smurfy]

if he was in conneticut when he posted, the person posted from a computer with an ip address in stamford, ct

so the only way to have an IP in STamford CT is to physically BE in Stamford CT?
