ATLANTA (AP) -- Pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son before hanging himself in his weight room, a law enforcement official close to the investigation told The Associated Press Tuesday.I suspected something like this last night when I read on Wikipedia that the cops had determined it to be a murder-suicide... But I wanted to hold off on posting until I knew for sure.
Well, that sucks. But now I wanna know WHY Benoit did it. This also sucks because the WWE will probably try to distance themselves from Benoit, so no Hall of Fame for him. Apparently, yesterday, they pulled a bunch of the tribute and testimonial videos on Benoit. I guess they don't want people like Stone Cold praising a murderer or something. As a wrestler, Benoit was great. But he won't be seen as a good wrestler now. He'll be seen as the dude who murdered his wife and kid. I'm not saying we should ignore that part, no. I'm just saying it's really fscked up.
