Professional wrestler, Chris Benoit, hanged himself Monday, June 25, 2007 after murdering his wife, Nancy Daus-Benoit (left) and their seven year-old son, Daniel, over the weekend. Benoit, professionally known as the "Canadian Crippler" and the "Rabid Wolverine", cancelled a pay-per-view on Friday due to a "family emergency".The WWE cancelled its Monday Night RAW programming on the 25th replacing it with a tribute to Benoit. I know that in the wrestling industry always wants to pay tribute to its fallen stars like Owen Hart and Eddie Guererro but Benoit deserves no tribute and giving him one before the facts were in showed extremely bad judgment. Owen Hart died in a tragic on-the-job accident and while Eddie Guererro's years of alcohol, drugs and (obvious) steroid use contributed to his heart failure, at least he didn't murder anyone else.
Think it's possible that 'Roid Rage contributed to Benoit's actions? Maybe. But that doesn't avoid his responsibility. Any steroids he took, he took willingly. He was fully responsible for his heinous actions.
While the WWE claims to have cleaned up its act regarding steroids, wrestlers like Triple H keep getting bigger and bigger. I don't even think he could hang himself since he no longer has a neck.
The world need to wash its hands of Chris Benoit. And that's the bottom line, cuz Blog Dog says so.
