| | Posted: | | | | I know this probably isn't a forum full of wrestling fans, but for those who haven't heard (and it's getting mainstream news coverage now), wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife, and seven year old son were all found dead today in their home - investigators believe Benoit murdered his wife and son before killing himself earlier today. | | | "I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question:

I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something
different. I chose the impossible. I chose…

How very sad. I loved wrestling years ago - Andre the Giant was my favorite. I haven't watched it in a long time though, it just isn't the same for me. |

| | Posted: | | | | Yeah, but I doubt whatever was the problem in his area in 1985 did have little to do with what he did last weekend, 22 years later.... | | | | Lutz |

| | Posted: | | | | Anyone that would inject their 7 year old son with human growth hormone has some serious mental and emotional problems; his boy did not have a medical condition but Chris felt he was too small. The whole situation makes me feel sick. |

The boy DID have a medical condition...it's called Fragile X Syndrome. Agreed. Although, from what I've read, Fragile X is the most common inherited cause of mental impairment and can causes autism and would never be given the treatment administered by Chris. I had never heard of this condition and can only hope that some good can come from this tragedy. |

An internet biography of US wrestler Chris Benoit was changed to say his wife was dead - hours before police discovered the bodies of the couple and their seven-year-old son. Full story | | | | Last edited: by Squirrelecto |
