Speculation Regarding the Death of Chris Benoit

[vmc62]

He didn't do it. I will not let the news influence what I know to be true. He was gonna be friggin ECW Champion. He had everything going for him, I don't believe it one bit.

Exactly.
This doesn't make sense at all.

 

[LadyFranchise]

Well I'm done for now. I'll be back when there is more news on the situation. Regardless whether he did it or not, this has still been a sad couple of days for wrestling and my heart goes out to the family of Chris and Nancy. Lord knows what could be going through their minds right now. Take care everyone...

 

[vmc62]

the fact is mate i'll hold on to hope as long as I want. You may think its all figured out but some things dont add up. the txt msgs, the bibles, reports say mrs benoit was bleeding from the back of the head yet the same reports say she died by strangulation. It does not make any sense. So as i said before, BENOIT IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!!!!!

I agree

wwe.com still has benoit as their #7 wrestler on their website.

Maybe now that we know he's is a murderer, he'll drop to the low teens or high 20s on the list.

 

[vmc62]

Ok, so Benoit is probably a murderer. Nothing adds up right, but ok...

But it's possible (highly unlikely) that maybe he really didn't do it. I mean, there was a girl raped and murdered in her dorm on my campus, and the campus community told all the students that there was no foul play, and to not worry, she just died of some freak heart thing. Then two months later they are arresting some guy for rape, murder, B & E, etc. etc. And they had told us NO FOUL PLAY. They did this, so they say, to lull the murderer into a false sense of security.


Now I highly highly doubt that the Benoit case is anything like what happened at my school, but it IS possible.


So. Be respectful, until we know for 100% sure what is going on. Just because they made a press conference about what they believe doesn't mean it's 100% true until every piece of evidence is gone over by a crime lab, and everything is put into place.

I agree

In a system where we don't know what really happened in the murders of John F. Kennedy, 2Pac, and Biggie Smalls; in a system where Rodney King is beaten on video tape by 4 white cops and they ALL are proven innocent; and a system where 30% of it convicts are or have been wrongfully imprisoned, unless I see some better connections on the facts, I'm not believing a word some Georgia redneck tells me on TV. I've had it hearing these differing facts. Was Benoit even that religious to have Bibles like that?! Killing two people over 24 hours?! She's tied up with blood in the back of her head? This shit doesn't add up! This stinks!

I don't trust the police and I never have, and listening to someone say he was dead on Saturday night when he was supposedly seen in person on Saturday and possibly Sunday, someone better get all the facts straight.

It's none of my business since I'm not part of the family or one of his friends, but nothing adds up. I'm tired of every police investigation televised looking like Barney Fife is in charge.

I hope he didn't do it, and if he did it, he'll be punished by God. But right now, if the only thing to convince me that Chris Benoit killed his wife and son whom he loved (according to eyewitnesses) and hung himself is some hee-haw in a suit and toy badge who can't figure out the AM and PM on a clock, consider me a non-believer.

Call me what you want; I have the scars to say FUCK THE POLICE!

Or he'll just get deleted. I can't see WWE posting : "Chris Benoit drops 10 places because he's a murderer" can you?

 

[Mexican Geek]

Ok guys just a reminder..
if someone thinks that Benoit didn't do it, ok, thats their opinion... if you think that he is guilty, Ok, thats your opinion..
but PLEASE, dont flame the other users and keep this thread as what it is, speculation, not flaming and other stuff...(this includes RAW possible storylines..)
And for those who still believe on Benoit innocence,and want to express yourselves, there's a thread for that...Benoit memorial thread.
-----------------------------------------------
well, i didnt want to believe it, but i give up, there is so much evidence and all points Chris Benoit as the murderer.
What a shame, i guess i only have one feeling on Chris: Dissapointment.
the bibles? what a sick touch....
I've learned something today... STAY AWAY from STEROIDS...

 

[JayAvarice]

You know i can't believe everyone that calls themself a "fan of wrestling" would toss out all due process with investigating crime scenes. Does the jump to conclusion mentality of this forum really speak loudly for the intelligence, loyalty, and respect of the wrestling fan community? I would hope to think that I am NOT a part of people who would toss out logic and wait for the true facts to come out. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but please make it an educated one.

 

[vmc62]

Ok, I rarely post here, mostly just read. I've followed the story since it broke. I watched the press conference on CNN. Maybe they picked the worst possible guy from the sheriff's office to speak to the media, but if he is indicative of the competency level of the people investigating this, I'll wait until all the forensic evidence comes back from the crime lab before saying with 100% certainty that Benoit did this. We don't have a full veiw of the timeline here, first it was Saturday for Nancy, Sunday for Daniel, and Monday for Chris. Now it's Friday for Nancy, Saturday morning for Daniel, and either late Saturday or early Sunday for Chris. If Chris wasn't home on Friday(and I'm not saying one way or the other), that leaves some room for doubt. Until we actually know the timeline for the deaths, Chris's whereabouts in relation to the timeline, and when the text messages were sent in relation to the time of death, there isn't any way to know for sure what happened.

On the subject of the text messages, someone mentioned earlier that sometimes text messages show up quickly or many hours later. That's true, but unless the "sent" folder on Benoit's phone was erased, it should exactly when the messages were sent(at least that's how my phone works).

The most likely scenario is Chris snapped for some reason and killed his family then himself. It is however entirely plausible(while not necessarily likely) that someone was holding Nancy hostage, forced the call to Chris then killed her, then Daniel was killed before Chris came home. Chris comes home, his family is dead, and then he kills himself. I'm not saying that's how it went down, or even that it's likely that it happened that way. It is however one possible scenario that could have unfolded, and until we know a more exact timeline as well as other facts it's impossible to say with absolute certainty what happened.

I agree

 

[bonesaw]

have any other wwe people spoke about it at all

 

[rvd4life]

wonder what they will put in their 'farewell' section next week if they dont want to associate themselves to him?

 

[Scuba_Steve747]

I fail to see the logic for Benoit being 1% likely to commit the crime. I'd say 99% chance he did it.

 

[jcsmugk]

I agree

"INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY"

What further proof do you need? He's clearly guilty. The DA says he's guilty, the sheriff says he's guilty, the physician says he's guilty, the forensic criminal office says he's guilty.

Its kinda obvious.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Stop looking for excuses to say Benoit didn't do this. Even if there was a reason, there is absolutely no excuse for killing anyone, unless it is under incredibly special circumstances, which this apparently was not. If there wasn't a reason, there are plenty of murders and other crazy shot that happens everyday for no reason people can figure out or for a reason that only becomes apparent later on. Besides, the police seem pretty sure it was him (and I'm sure they'd be VERY CAREFUL not to screw up on such a high profile case) and TNA and WWE seem certain about what happened as his deatch is now being downplayed. Benoit - the greatest disappointment the wrestling world has ever had to deal with. It's disgusting to even compare this to the deaths of Eddie, Owen or anyone else that is genuinely deserving of our grief.

 

[vmc62]

We need to mourn and stick together, and remember Chris Benoit, a beautiful man.

Forget whether he did it or not, people have problems.

Chris was an amazing man and I never imagined this would happen.

Why Chris? Why now?

It's so random and so so very tragic.

I am not in the right frame of mind to sufficiently explain my thoughts, and this post has been pretty sketchy.

I'm leaving it here.

Does anyone agree with me?



Chris, you were a great man. I never imagined this, I am heartbroken.
I love you.


damn rite!again im not sayin its rite even if he did do it, but 4 wots his dun 4 the wrestling buisness and 4 all of us fans then he is a hall of famer without question and people are bein arse holes sayin screw him?!?!like this guy said he must of had real bad personal problems 2 do it.my point of view his goin up in the heavens and as the BEST EVER wrestler same as the BEST EVER eddie guerrero.FULL STOP.

Likewise

 

[BrooklynBuc]

No, it's NOT obvious. Case isn't officially closed yet. Autopsies not done yet.

 

[Low_Ki]

I just dont know what to think anymore, Like many of you I think it is time to sit back, reflect, and allow the authorities to do their thing. When everything is confirmed then I beleive it is time for people to start pointing fingers, but until then, I am keeping my opinions to myself. All I am going to say is that Daniel and Nancy did not deserve this WHATEVER happened to them, and I just hope that they are in a better place now, God Bless.

 

[JohnnyRodz]

They don't need an autopsy to solve this case.

Right on.

 

[HOTROD74]

There are many scenarios that people are saying. What if Nancy cheated on Chris and then let's say he found out that Daniel wasn't his son. That could cause any sane person to snap. So many scenarios, but in the end all fingers point to Chris. Tragic.

 

[vmc62]

Now just saying....

WHAT IF, in a few weeks when all reports come back or in a few weeks/months/years someone comes out and confesses to these murders.

Every single one of you will be posting how Benoit belongs in the Hall of Fame.

See no one has the HARD evidence yet. No one has their time line correct yet.

Facts point at Chris Benoit as the murder and they could very well correct, but you people are too quick to judge off of beliefs and theories.

That's true

You must be out of your mind to look at Daniel's face and say he wasn't Chris' son. The boy looked just like him!

 

[Valthonis79]

Okay people let's think here. rigor sets in between 6 and 12 hours and is usually gone after about 10 hours. so if the two were killed on sat and sunday. by the time they got into the house monday afternoon the rigor would be gone and wouldn't be able to use that as a timeline anymore. the few facts they have is all they are going by and that is all that we as a group can go by cause none of us have been in the house. so untill the autopsy reports are out and the story completed no one not even the supposed experts that wrestling fans are can't do nothing but speculate and bash a man for murder that in the end COULD STILL END UP BE PROVEN that he didn't commit.

thank you for your time.

 

[HOTROD74]

Shanti, that's not what I believe but while everyone is spitting out scenarios, it was one that my co-worker had come up with. I was just passing on an observation.
