Chris Benoit dead

[riggable]

A douchebag yes, but I feel a bit bad for him. In order to maintain his position in the WWE he needed to be so hopped up on steroids in order to stay so freaking buff. This obviously tore apart his life, his mind, and his emotions, to the point that he acted in such a disastrous way. I'm not justifying it, but just looking at the other side.

When this story couldn't get any weirder, his wife's death was on Wikipedia days before authorities actually knew about it.

Yeah I just heard that also, someone from Stamford CT. updated it. (WWE headquarters is in Stamford)

Actually it was about 12 hours before. And the guy who put it on Wiki admitted later he has only been basing the edit he made on some rumours he heard. And the guy wasn't a WWE employee.

once again, I re-state: depression
and yet again, I state: chemical imbalance, common side effect of steroids

Once again, as much as I loved the guy, you can't absolve him of guilt because of depression and because he was on steroids. I get depressed, but it doesn't make want to kill my parents and do away with myself (although occasionally the latter). As for the steroids, yes it might have been caused by it, but he was the person who had taken said steroids. As someone said earlier, people have to be accountable for their own actions and anything resulting from those actions.
