Basically, that's how Benoit got into wrestling. Saw a wrestling show, tried out high school wrestling, went to hang out at a stadium where wrestling shows were prominent and began meeting the wrestlers there, from there he decided that he was going to be a wrestler. He became a wrestler, held several titles and had a great career. All because of his hero, of whose name I cannot remember.Originally Posted by Bunny
This thing mostly just saddens me because he was someone who I enjoyed watching perform very much. He was without a doubt one of the best wrestlers to ever lace up a pair of wrestling boots, probably even in the top 5 of all time. The fact that this all happened so suddenly is also making it harder to swallow, like it came out of the blue and was such a smurfed up thing to do. Of course we'll never know why he did it, but it still doesn't stop me from wishing I could know. Why he did such a smurfed up and terrible thing, why he threw away one of the best careers in wrestling history by doing such a stupid thing, why why WHY?
Bah. He's forever tarnished in one of the worst ways possible now, but whenever the discussion comes up I'll still list him as one of the best of all time and one of my favourites. It's just gutted that it all went tothis way and he did such a terrible thing.
Edit: Benoit's idol was the Dynamite Kid. Watch clips of the two, you can see the almost freakish similarities between them.
Dynamite Kid I believe it was.
This is just another reason why steroids need to be tested for and banned from any sort of professional, athletic medium. Some of those guys look like freaks.
I remember Benoit from back in the day when I watched the WWF. His actions? What an idiot. He should have just killed himself and spared his wife and child.
I think the toxiocology test thingy came back and said he wasn't on steriods at the times of the murder.
Saw this somewhere, 50% chance it might be right.
I thought the toxicology report would take 2 weeks.
It will.
It can be just as valuable to people as actual sports or hobbies are the other people. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's impossible for other people to do so. I can't stand watching pro-wrestling anymore, but I'm not stuck-up about it. This is a thread about Benoit, his death, and the murders he committed. Antagonistic comments about the "worth" of pro-wrestling just make it sound like you're trying to get on peoples' nerves in this thread.
It's all really sad, and again, another reason in my opinion why steroids need to be banned.
Toxicology reports take two weeks to a month. Maybe two.
Why does it take that long? Is the scientific process that long or is that just the bureaucracy?
The process.
You're still missing the point entirely. I don't care if people like wrestling. I care that people are still worshiped after becoming murderers, and the only reason is that they were a big name in something that's purely for entertainment.It can be just as valuable to people as actual sports or hobbies are the other people.

No one in this thread that I've seen is saying he should still be "worshipped" for his actions, if you actually paid attention. His career can be respected while his recent actions condemned, which is all I've seen people doing. If someone was still "worshipping" him and saying he's a great father... well, they're nuts.
Take a look at Khaotic again. He called him a hero.
I'm not allowed to be disgusted with a killer because people liked him as a wrestler. That's pretty sick.
