To me, its arguable anyone willing to take another human life (in any circumstance besides self-defense) is not in his/her right mind. Benoit clearly was not in his right mind. My guess is after killing his wife, he just totally sunk into lunacy and lost complete touch with reality and any comprehension of right or wrong. In fact, killing his son and himself probably was more justifiable in his crazed mind then not doing so.
I think in the long run, Benoit's wrestling legacy will be strictly as a tutorial for up and coming wrestlers. You want to learn how to put on a wrestling clinic in the ring and execute hundreds of moves to perfection? Watch a Benoit match. But celebrating the man's accolades and accomplishments like you would any past champion or popular superstar who DIDN'T murder his family just seems wrong.
