Many are finding this to be getting weirder and weirder; it's reported someone posted on Wikipedia that his wife died 6 hours before it was discovered. That is weird. I think the speculation is up that there's more to the story. Investigation isn't final, so we'll have to see where it actually leads to.

In an exclusive interview on TODAY, WWE chairman Vince McMahon backed off claims by his organization that steroids had nothing to do with the murder-suicide of wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife and 7-year-old son.

 

“Steroids may or may not have had anything to do with this,” McMahon told TODAY co-host Meredith Vieira. “It’s all speculation until the toxicology reports come back.”

 

That was a retreat from a statement World Wrestling Entertainment, based in Stamford, Conn., had put out earlier, in which the organization said “steroids were not and could not be related” to the deaths.

 

Confronted with that statement by Vieira, McMahon said, “We didn’t say that. Our reaction was reacting to the hysteria of the media.”

 

McMahon explained that he and the WWE were reacting to suggestions that the phenomenon known as “'roid rage” may have led to the killings. Among the potential side effects of steroid use are depression, paranoia and episodes of rage.

 

The slayings of Benoit’s wife, Nancy, and their child were carried out last weekend. Authorities say that Benoit may have remained in the house with the bodies as long as another day before hanging himself, using the rope and pulleys from a weight machine. His wife had been strangled. Sometime after she was killed, the couple’s son was smothered. Bibles were placed next to the bodies.

 

‘This man was a monster’

“This is not an act of rage,” McMahon said. “This is an act of deliberation.” He added that investigators also found prescription medications in the house that may have played a role.

 

“This is a horrific tragedy,” he said. “It happened in pro wrestling. There’s a rush to judgment. There’s almost a hysteria around us.”

Oo nga eh. Disappointing

[tagpi]

And then Vince McMahon resurrected!

 

Admire the wrestler in Benoit. The Canadian Crippler, The Rabid Wolverine. The best technical wrestler.

 

What he did as a person to his family is known, why he did it will never be known. Toxicology might attempt to explain a side of it, but everything will be buried with Chris Benoit.

 

Give the man his right of passage. :goatee:

[andrean48]

Lets wait for the final results before further cursing of Chris.

 

I thought he was one of the best wrestlers in and out the of ring. But no one is perfect. Unfortunately for him, he made one mistake and that one mistake destroyed his legacy.

 

Lets just prays for the Family.

And then Vince McMahon resurrected!

 

yup, Benoit raised McMahon from the dead...

OK lang yun, wala naman yata paki un mga tao kung 'mamatay' siya kunwari. :evil:

[sunking]

WWE overreacted trying to downplay steroid use in the Benoit tragedy. Now Vince had to give a retraction of that statement. They just need to sit this out and move accordingly once more data is recovered.

 

I don't think this is going to be a heavy PR problem for them. If anything, the tragedy will push the fans to show their support of wrestling entertainment. Hopefully, they will also make themselves heard more, telling their idols (faces and heels) that they do not approve of drug use.

I heard someone said "bro, patay na daw si RABBIT Wolverine."

 

haahahahaha

 

Stupid.hahaha

[cheeselogger]

^ though the problem is American culture just generally distance away themselves and condemn drug/steriod scandals just like what Barry Bonds is experiencing now in MLB. the good samaritan way would be to show support to the ring heroes but since it has been "common knowledge" already about drug/steriod abuse in the wrestling entertainment industry, the most probable thing the American public would react is the same way they have reacted to other Pro Sports' drug/steriod scandals...
