I have been watching professional wrestling my whole life and one of my childhood highlights would be to see the WWF live! I love professional wrestling! Its a steroid soap opera.
My jaw dropped driving home from work Monday hearing about the Benoits' found dead in their home. I watched the WWE Monday Night Raw Tribute and caught myself crying a few times. This was all before the autopsy came out and futher developments but I would have NEVER guessed Chris Benoit did what he did.
Even tho I have never met the Benoit Family, watching wrestling for 30+ years and being a huge fan I am just literally sick to my stomach over this. I can't look at Benoit the same EVER again and I get chills when I look into his icy stare. He was a great wrestler but ANYONE who kills his wife and 7 year old son with his bare hands doesn't deserve to be respected. How sick. It seems premeditated to me with how he placed the bibles next to the bodies. You have to be a sick bastard to stay in the home where the bodies of your wife and child are.
The text messages do sound fishy like he wanted the cops to discover the bodies, like that was his way of confessing.
What are the reactions to long time wrestling fans? Have your feelings of Chris Benoit changed after hearing the latest news? Do you still idolize him/respect/cherish him?
Hardcore WWF fan SICK to my STOMACH over BENOIT Murders. What is your reaction of long time fans?theatre
As a fan of wrestling, i will still respect him for the contributions he made but I do NOT respect him as a man which is more important in all due reality. I hope he finds peace in the afterlife.
The contributions he made were great to the "sport", I won't deny it and I loved his matches. But I don't think I can look at him the same anymore...

ok this scenario if he did do the murders
I think that if he had only killed his wife, (nothing personal or anything) that a lot more people would still respect him a bit more. Killing his wife would still be horrible, but come on a 7 year old kid. The wife would have had a chance at least, but not his son. But overall I think we are all jumping to conclusions. We will never know the truth, and what happens if down the road we get another detective saying that this was all a mistake int he investigating process? They were all murdered and it was set up to look like Benoit hung himself. Then what we would look like idiots all of us including WWE! for saying he was a no good murderer. Anything could have happened and I really do not know if I can respect him, but I am definitely not going to say he is no good he is a murderer and so on. I am not going to jump to any conclusions yet until the whole story is told. The autopsy and toxicology results, etc. And wwe was wrong to retract the tribute, if for nothing else his wife and son.
OH and ps. for all you out there who are saying you only respect his "persona" or character ion the ring, thats not who he really is... blah blah blah. Do you personally know him?? or know his personality, or anything to say thats not who he really is. You all keep saying he murdered his family etc. do you have any concrete evidence in your habds right now to prove he did it? or are you just going on what the media is telling you? Well you should have learned by now, we are all wrestling fans here, they story you hear is not always the truth. so dont judge him its none of our jobs to do that.
Shock
Anger
Disbelief
Frustration
Disappointment
Sadness
That pretty much sums up how I feel about it all. The fact that someone who was said to be a great husband and father is capable of something like this truly scares me.
I don't think I'll ever look at Chris the same way ever again.
