I'm not a wrestling fan, I haven't been for quite some time. However, after hearing this and seeing the live interviews (online and on the air), it really hit me how powerful this juggernaut industry really is.
I can't remember his stage name, but I believe he was called "The Edge"...when I saw him break down and cry...I realized that it goes beyond scripts and fake blood and staged hits and falls.
Some people would laugh at him for crying or lose respect (and you know it's true) but I didn't. No, I saw a grown man who truly was grieving, a man who truly was devastated and lost one of his only true friends in the world. I wanted to cry with him, even though I've got absolutely no emotional attachment to this whole thing...once I saw him, a wrestler, show his human side...that's what got me.
Then I saw a picture of his wife and son and realized that this was not only real, but horrific not only in the details, but for the simple, sad fact that it happened. Period.
People keep saying "No, no, no, it couldn't be him!" "He didn't do it!" "The wife did it!" etc...
Well, why couldn't he have done it?
1.) The wife died Saturday. (She was the first to go.)
2.) He was human. I'm not condoning, nor understanding why he did it, but I can believe he did it. He's human and his profession has a track record of people dying, steroids, etc. And the question is...what do you do with a wrestler who is washed up, or on his way to being washed up? Granted, he was still active in the business as of the time that the murders took place, but perhaps he was near the end of his career (without public knowledge) and he just couldn't bear the thought of it. Maybe he thought "What the hell am I going to do now?"
The police and coroner know what happened, they're just waiting for final confirmation, but if you've ever watched a cop show...they pretty much know from the getgo what went on.
They say the wife died first on Saturday? I believe them.
They say he canceled appointments, etc? I believe it.
They have facts and info on the case that we won't see until they're ready to release it. Once they do, we'll see for sure, but they know what went down and how.
I'm sorry guys and gals, but he did it. Not the wife, not an outsider, but Benoit himself. He did the killings. I'm not saying this to speak ill of the dead, but to tell the truth.
If we all turn a blind eye to this, we'll look away from any truth, no matter how heinous it may be. That's how the problems begin.
He was a hero to millions, and I'm sure he was a hell of a guy, but for some reason he threw that all away this past weekend and there's nothing you, nor anyone else can do to change it.
I'll never understand why you'd kill your own wife and kid, but it's humanly possible, and as we've all seen...he was human...no matter how much of a "God" people made him out to be.
In the end, all we can do is hope the remaining family can carry on with life, and that none of them suffered a slow, painful death.
....and realize that even heroes are imperfect, contrary to popular belief.
