if he's such a huge family man and his wife devastates him by admitting to him that she had an affair or something like that I could see him going off the deep end and doing something this horrible. This would especially be true if you combined the shock of learning something like this with roid rage, which seems to be a factor.
He probably went into such a rage that he killed her, and then while he was still out of it he decided with some f'd up logic that he didn't want his son to live with the knowledge that his daddy killed his mommy so he killed him too (again, this is only 'logic' that would make sense to someone who's going completely nuts).
Apparently the wife was strangled, which is a very personal way to kill someone. He would have probably had to see her dying. At the same time, the kid was smothered, meaning that he was probably hidden under a pillow.
Then after a couple of hours to calm down he realized what a horrible thing he had done and he took the coward's way out.

Like I said, I have nothing to back any of this up but it's a theory.
(maybe I should go get my master's in criminology after all.)

Was she his wife, or ex-wife? I thought she had filed for divorce a few years back, did she change her mind?

Either way, it's a horrible tragedy. And especially for the completely innocent child stuck in the middle of an obviously strained relationship between the parents

Good job, Buster.

I've been very careful with my thoughts about this...because when I first saw he died, I was nearly in tears. (prior to getting all the facts). This was a guy I often emulated myself after. I'm a pretty big wrestling fan, I've been dying off like many as far as fanhood the past few years, but Chris Benoit was one of the few things that still made you proud to be a wrestling fan. When it first came out he was dead, I was deeply saddened....then when more and more facts came out, I was absoultley crushed. I couldnt belive that this guy was a cold blooded killer like he was. I truly belive there is more to this than is being said at this point, because I just dont think (and yeah, I dont know the guy personally), but I just dont think he was the type of a guy to just go ahead and KILL HIS KID. I mean god damn that just gets me, how the hell do you kill a seven year old kid like that.....

Furthermore, I'm not going to buy into this whole roid rage thing as an excuse for the bullcrap actions of Chris Benoit. It wasent roid rage...Roid Rage is I just snapped and within a span of 15 mintues I killed everyone and myself....its becoming more and more apparent to me at least that this was slowly carried out. Its seriously a damn shame, because that kid had his whole life in front of him, as did Nancy Benoit, she was only 43.......

God damnit, Chris. What the hell were you thinking?

Unbelivable.

Yeah, she filed for divorce in 2003, then withdrew the Complaint. For those wrestling fans, she was "Woman" and was originally married to Kevin Sullivan, a wrestler and writer. He wrote a storyline wherein Woman and Benoit had an affair....and they did! She left Sullivan and married Benoit. I'll always remember Benoit as one of the last 4 horseman when he was younger. Sad story.

I am there with Gman on this. Just trying to fnd some rational reason to understand what happened. Just rationalize it away. As for roid rage I agree also. Roid rage is a snap. This was all entirely too methodical. Underneathe this guy was just nuts.

To those who don't watch wrestling, I don't much anymore recently, I'd equate him to someone like Santana Moss. A skilled guy who had the respect of everyone. Someone who worked hard and was friends with everybody but was really a internal guy not too comfortable with celebrity and fame. If he did something like this everyone would be out of their minds. It's not like half ass crazy Steve Austin did this. This was a guy that was a friend to everyone, a guy that people saw as a devoted family man who went 100% off the deep end out of nowhere. Makes no sense and never will.

Is it possible though that the first murder (his wife) was a result of roid rage and the following murder plus his suicide were "planned" but only because he didn't know what to do after the rage of the first?

That's kind of what I'm thinking. If the roids make you that f'd up in the head to snap like he did on his wife then I would assume that it could also send him into a deep depression over his actions.

This just proves no good can come from using steriods.

Did you hear the kid had needle marks in his arm where they think the dad was injecting him with human growth hormons because the kid was small. The kid is actually a Dwarf. They said the dad used a wrestling choke hold on the kid most likely.


grrrrrrrr!!!!!
Mother fucker!

They're talking about steroids and roid rage on the radio right now and someone just brought up an interesting point. He said that when people cycle off them their body obviously doesn't have as much testosterone pumping through them and that makes them depressed.
