I don't care if I didn't know the guy personally, he murdered his family. Thats all I need to know about the scumbag.

I'm not arguing just interested.... I make a huge distinction between the wrestling persona and the person.... If the creator of House killed his family.... I'd still enjoy House....

Austin beat his wife, I lost some respect but theres a big difference there.
He didn't murder her and then moved on to a 7 year old.

Yeah it is pretty hard to grasp that. The whole event two years ago was one of if not the most horrifying experience of my life.
This guy was my hero. I met him and he seemed like a nice guy. Everyone close to him was baffled by what he did. It was a feeling I had never felt before in my life. I was in denial for a very long time.
However as someone said before, I was able to seperate his career from his personal life so I can still enjoy his matches. But I also get creeped out from time to time seeing an evil look on his face.

The difference is that the person who did the horrible thing isn't right there.
Stan Lee isn't a character in X-men. The creator of House isn't a character in House.
Plain and simple, f*** Chris Benoit and his Career.

Plain and simple, f*** Chris Benoit and his Career. Let's say Hugh Laurie does it or Hugh Jackman Won't stop me from enjoying House or Wolverine Origins the video game (He voiced it) He was a good wrestler. What he does in the privacy of his own home which doesn't effect me doesn't bother me.

I really don't care for Benoit all that much even though his technique is exceptional. I'm not watching him kill his wife and son. I'm watching him put a crossface on Angle

finalride, you're more than welcome to your opinion of him but as we made very, very clear yesterday when we posted these, there is a thread for defending him and a thread for people to vent on him. There is no mix and match in this case.
If you wish to continue discussing him in that manner, please take it to the other thread.

The events of the Chris Benoit Family Fun Weekend ruined any enjoyment I used to get out of his matches... and it wasn't even much enjoyment. He kinda bored me in the ring.

Chris use to be one of my favorite wrestlers in WCW and then his early days in WWE. But after I while I just started losing interest, I would throw him in the same boat as Booker T or RVD as another guy they waited to damn long to put the title on. Instead of pushing them at the right moment, they give these guys the title almost as an after thought. After years of pointless IC runs, he had one boring WHC run and it was back to the midcard. It wasn't like Jericho where the guy can always keep it entertaining, Benoit was the same damn guy no matter if he was face or a heel.

I always loved him until he killed his family, now he is a piece of crap. He doesn't get my respect and if he ends up being in the wrong place later on when I'm going to bitch slap him across the face. I just hope he was put in the right place afterwards I just hope. He ruined wrestling for me, he had to pull that punk move to ruin the WWE image. He is the reason why no one likes wrestling. I think we should all hate him rather than hate WWE.

He's a disgrace to the human race. The fact that people continue to make excuses for him makes me sad.

All murderers are touched in the head in some way or another. Why should he get a pass? Because he put on good matches? I'm sure Charles Manson cleaned his room a few times when he was a kid too.

I hope Benoit packed a lot of sunscreen where he was going to go.

I hope Benoit packed a lot of sunscreen where he was going to go. I hope he forgot to pack it and only has Crystal Pepsi to drink.

Besides what he did, he was honestly the most boring guy I've ever heard on the mic. Somewhere, Lance Storm is shedding a tear over the fact that he's not so boring anymore.

I have this conversation with a lot of people. Oh he killed his family, therefore he's crazy. Then doesn't every crazy person deserved to be absolved from their crime. I mean, name me a murderer who wasn't crazy?

I hope Benoit packed a lot of sunscreen where he was going to go. I hope he forgot to pack it and only has Crystal Pepsi to drink. Then it evaporates and he is burning. I hope that is happening right now.
