New AP story on ESPN about it.. might just be the same referenced from CNN. Same details provided -- seriously, this is just mindblowing. How does WWE handle it from here? Apologize for the tribute next week?
dem said:Well this makes the WWE special last night terribly bizarre.
Triple HHH's story last night about how Benoit made some kid to 1000 squats for disrespecting Shawn Michaels.. and then another 500 the next day... makes him sound like a psycho.

Xenon said:No we don't. This is horrible no reason could ever be made of it.
Y2Kev said:I don't blame WWE at all for that tribute. Knowing what they knew, they absolutely did the right thing.
Aisenherz said:three days? Saturday, Sunday and Monday?
hm.....
super funk said:I dont think the WWE needs to apologize for the tribute, they didnt do anything wrong in my opinion. Even if they did know he killed his family, he is one of the most legendary wrestlers of the past 20 years and not honoring his wrestling ability would be wrong. As long as they dont focus on his life outside the ring, theres nothing wrong with that kind of tribute.
No matter what, the point is that the WWE is trying to distance themselves from him and I wouldnt be suprised if he never gets mentioned again. I dont even know if they would enter him into the HoF.
QFT. I would give my life for my daughter without even a moment's hesitation. I don't know how anyone could do this.DarienA said:As a father of 2 girls (2 and 10), I can't think of anything on this earth that would drive me to kill either of them.

borghe said:At this point my guess is roid rage. He probably didn't even realize what he was doing. It would also easily explain the suicide once he came down and realized what had happened.
Willco said:But THEY did know - they were the ones that told the authorities to go check on Benoit. God, you're clueless. WWE is a dirty f*cking organization that breeds shady shit like this.
dskillzhtown said:The only other situation like this I can remember was Jimmy Snuka killing his gf in a hotel.
iconoclast said:They feared for his safety, they certainly had no idea he had (possibly) murdered his family. Do you not know how many wrestlers have died untimely deaths? Sadly its not very rare.
Willco said:Why do you think they feared for his safety? They obviously knew something, as they got a string of disturbing text messages. The article clearly states they asked the authorities to check on the Benoit family, not just Benoit himself. They knew what was up.
I mean, try and justify a tasteless tribute and a murderer killing his wife and child all you guys want. Whatever helps you guys sleep at night.
Stoney Mason said:Yes we know. You are OUTRAGED. We get it. Move along now..
Willco said:So you can remember the legacy of a murderer? Am I in bizarro world?

Keyser Soze said:I dont think there is anything wrong with remembering the 20 years of sane Benoit... the three days (well prehaps longer) makes it seem wrong though.
Stoney Mason said:I've posted my thoughts many times in the thread. I'm not going to rehash them for a baiter poster like you.
Willco said:I'm not going back seventeen pages, especially since anything behind the past two seem to be like, "NO WAI LETS WAIT TILL WE GET THE INFO GUYZ HIS WIFE KILLED HIS SON AND THEN HE TOOK JUSTICE IN HIS OWN HANDS!"
You're insane.
dem said:Yes
Im waiting for the Hitler tribute.
Lets forget the millions dead... he was fun to have a drink with!
you're not making sense...Willco said:I'm not going back seventeen pages, especially since anything behind the past two seem to be like, "NO WAI LETS WAIT TILL WE GET THE INFO GUYZ HIS WIFE KILLED HIS SON AND THEN HE TOOK JUSTICE IN HIS OWN HANDS!"

are you implying that OJ *wasn't* an awesome football player?Willco said:Yes, let's remember the legacy of an actor that did pretty much nothing for the world all while ignoring the fact that he killed his wife and child. It's just kind of dumb. That's like saying, "Hey, let's remember what an awesome football player O.J. Simpson was!"
HOW FAR DO YOU THINK THAT'D THREAD WOULD GO.
WickedAngel said:I don't really feel too strongly one way or the other about this topic but you've reached an entirely new level of stupidity by comparing this situation to the Holocaust. Bravo.

when they did the tribute, he was just dead...
sure, HOURS AFTER the tribute aired, we found out he was a murderer, but it's not like they have a time machine...
and "knowing something was up" isn't good enough...
dem said:Dude.. are you retarded? Wrestling is ACTING. He wasnt doing anything great for the world.
AND HE MURDERED HIS FAMILY.
Stoney Mason said:Huh? What's that story? I've never heard it...
But Snukas near-*Midnight Express* experience in the Persian Gulf was childs play compared to what happened on May 10, 1983. That night, after finishing his last match at the WWF TV taping at the Lehigh County Agricultural Hall in Allentown, Pennsylvania, he returned to Room 427 of the George Washington Motor Lodge in nearby Whitehall to find his girlfriend of nearly a year, Nancy Argentino, gasping for air. Two hours later, this 23-year-old wrestling fan who'd worked as a dentists assistant in Brooklyn and dropped out of Brooklyn Community College to travel with Snuka was pronounced dead at Allentown Sacred Heart Medical Center of undetermined craniocerebral injuries.
Upon viewing the body and speaking to the pathologist, I immediately suspected foul play and so notified the district attorney, Lehigh County Coroner Wayne Snyder told me on a recent trip to Allentown. In 83, Snyder was deputy to Coroner Robert Weir.
Yet no charges were filed in the case, no coroners inquest was held, and no evidence was presented to a grand jury. Officially the case is still open meaning Argentinos death was never ruled either an accident or a homicide though the original two-month-long investigation has been inactive for nine years. Under Pennsylvanias unusually broad exemptions from freedom of information laws, the Whitehall Township Police Department has so far refused my requests for access to the file.
Of particular interest would be two documents: the autopsy and the transcript of the interrogation of Snuka immediately thereafter. One local official involved in the investigation, as well as one of the Argentino familys lawyers, told me the autopsy showed marks on the victim other than the fractured skull. And former Whitehall police supervisor of detectives Al Fitzinger remembered that the forensic pathologist, Dr. Isadore Mihalakis, confronted Snuka to ask him why hed waited so long before calling an ambulance.
i don't understand how so many people can say "he may have had a reason to kill his wife"... i mean, is killing wives now an understandable (but bad!) thing to do?pCeSlAyEr said:he may of had a reason for killing his wife(not right I know), but I don't understand why the child...
there is no reason in the world to kill your own child... he was seriously ****ed in the head if he did that...
What I understand: He killed his wife on saturday, his son at sunday and himself at monday morningkassatsu said:Has that been in an official statement yet, or just more speculation?
Fatalah said:There should be a tribute to "Woman", a poor innocent woman killed by her husband.
Also, Chavo said he spent the night at the Benoit house this weekend. He could have some pertinent information to fill out a motive.
By the way, Stephanie McMahon has only gotten prettier through the years. Triple H is a lucky man.
They could have done something different for the west coast airing.The Faceless Master said:you're not making sense...

super funk said:Its just a tribute on a wrestling program, the very wrestling program that he was a part of. The didnt give him a parade or have a funeral on tv. If Robert De Niro had done the same thing, I dont think anyone would object to giving him a tribute at the Oscars.
:lol :lol :lolWillco said:Dude, they sent the cops to the Benoit house. They knew what was up. You're crazy. This is like telling Scientologists that psychologists aren't even space aliens after all.
