Benoit Taps Out of Life

And he does the Crippler Crossface to his wife and 7-year-old son, taking them out too.  What a lowlife, ‘roid ragin’ piece of crap.

From the AP here:

WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife and son were found dead Monday, and police said they were investigating the deaths as a murder-suicide.
 
Investigators believe the 40-year-old Benoit killed his wife, Nancy, and 7-year-old son, Daniel, over the weekend, then himself on Monday. The bodies were found in three rooms.

World Wrestling Entertainment said on its Web site that it asked authorities to check on Benoit and his family after being alerted by friends who received “several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning.”

It bothers me that WWE would pay such a tribute to this man if he was a cold-blooded murderer of his family.  Eddie Guerrero?  Sure.  Owen Hart?  You bet.  But when a wrestler snaps and offs his whole family, why have a whole show dedicated to his memory?

And you can bet there will be investigations into illegal substance abuse now in the WWE.  You can’t get bodies that look like comic book superheroes without taking some serious steroids.  And WWE is a publically traded company too.  This scandal, if it turns out to be steroid abuse as I suspect, may impact stock prices.
