WWE's Chris Benoit and Family Found Dead

Tonight Chris Benoit, along with his wife and son, were found dead in their Fayetteville, GA home. The authorities think this is a case of murder-suicide, but the facts are not all in yet.

While I hope that Chris Benoit was not responsible for the demise of his family, one can only hope that any demons he faced are finally put to rest. I enjoyed watching him wrestle over the years (although I consistently rooted against him), and had the pleasure of meeting him in an airport in Indianapolis back in 2002. Actually, he was pretty ingracious and a bit rude, and I took a rare pleasure in the fact that I was flying first class while he was stuck in coach. I even smirked a little as he shuffled past. Other bigger wrestlers and celebrities I have met over the years were much more gracious. But let us not speak ill of the dead.



Chris Benoit and family, RIP.

UPDATE - It turns out the "Canadian Crippler" had a completely crazy 'roid rage episode, killing his wife last Saturday, his son after watching a PPV he was meant to perform in, and killing himself on Monday. No one yet knows what was going through Benoit's head, but the fact that he was injecting his son with Human Growth Hormone is another sick twist. I don't think I wanna talk about this any more.
