The tone of this blog will not be pretty, so please keep that in mind when reading it. I held back this morning, but not anymore. If you are offended by rude language, please discontinue reading.
Now that my brain has had some time to actually digest all of this, including the 3 pm news conference from the former home of the Benoit family, I would like to take a few minutes to get a few things off of my chest.
My worst fears have been confirmed. Chris Benoit murdered his wife Nancy and their child Daniel and then took his own life. From the news conference, these events took place over a period of time of 48-72 hours. Think about that for a minute. Seriously, stop reading and take a moment to let that sink in. Chris Benoit murdered his wife, waited for a period of up to 24 hours, murdered his son, then waited another period of time before finally taking his own life. There may not have been premeditation on killing his wife, but to have that much time to think about his next move in this disgusting series of events, is absolutely chilling. Another interesting note is that Benoit laid Bibles next to the bodies of both Nancy and Daniel. Chris Benoit sat in a house for another period of time of up to 24 hours before finally taking his own life in his weight room. This is so beyond disgusting and calculated that it makes me sick to my stomach.
For those of you writing things like RIP Chris Benoit, please stop. He doesn't deserve to rest in peace. The man was a cold blooded murderer who took the cowards way out by taking his own life.
This is only the beginning of this story. Toxicology reports will take some time before they come back. The wrestling business as a whole will have to take a serious look at itself, most likely because of increasing pressure from people in high places. Chris still has two other children who thankfully weren't with the madman when this took place. Take a moment and say a prayer for them, because this is going to be a really tough time on them.
I'm sorry. One of my heroes has broken my heart. I am 31 years old, and yes I still have heroes. I looked up to Chris Benoit for his dedication to his craft, for his determination to make it, and for the fortitude he had to make his dreams come true. All I can say is fuck you, Chris Benoit, fuck you!
