the few posts in here that include things like "I don't condone it but his brain injuries" or "I don't blame Benoit" etc will probably never cease to amaze me. He calculatingly killed his family over the space of 24 hours including binding Nancy's hands and feet together, taking time to consider his next move and then drugging and strangling the kid in bed the following morning. I don't care what some his friends and parents and colleagues said (although London and Kendrick seem to have the "most realistic" impression of him) the only person that really knew him is one of the people he killed. He made phone calls with legitimate sounding, coherent excuses for no-showing shows i.e had put thought into it and people had no reason to doubt him. He placed bibles next to the bodies surely indicating he knew he'd "wronged" or some shit. He knew exactly what he was doing.
He was an "international star" in a multi-million dollar company surrounded by fellow employees in all kinds of roles on a daily basis, not some vagrant walking around with brain fluid dripping out of his nose. He saw his doctor like the day before. I don't care how good his matches ever were, how many untreated concussions he ever had, how much of a fan of his you were, how surreal it is (and it is, just this past week I watched his DVD for the first time after having owned it for years but not wanting to see it and I felt hugely uncomfortable for the first 10 minutes or so. In fact watching that DVD is probably my reason for making this post since it's "fresh in my mind") there is zero justification whatsoever, he murdered his family and then himself for reasons we'll probably never know as opposed to facing the consequences and he'll forever be a piece of shit for doing so. By all means still recognize the quality of his matches and whatnot but to still even give the remotest bit of "understanding" or "reasoning" or to expect WWE to suddenly acknowledge him again is pretty much bullshit.
