You fail to give a point to this thread.

I feel my life has been immeasurably enriched by this information.

I think the point of this thread is that...

there is no point. Nevermind.

Well, that has taken to me to Nirvana....

forgot to add Mal 'King Kong' Kirk - heart attack/squashed by Big Daddy

So what are we supposed to do with this information?

Chris Benoit 6/25/07 40 Suicide Steroids

As far as anyone knows, Benoit had no steroids in him when he commited those murders.

Saying he did is just a cop-out by his fans- a way to somehow justify their 'hero' murdering his wife & 7 year old son, then taking his own life like a coward.

So what are we supposed to do with this information?

There will be a quiz on it.

Without looking, tell me what Eddie Guerrero died of?

Don't know, don't care, probably steroid related though.

Well, it says 'previous drug use', so I suppose you get half a mark for that.

Still do not know how this is relevant to my everyday activities though.

Well I'm not sure if it is true or not, but I heard that he had gotten into a fight with his wife, and accidentally killed her. Then he killed his son because he did not want the child to live with the fact that his mother is dead and the reason why is his father.

He supposedly strangled her with some type of cord or something of the like. You don't 'accidently' strangle someone with a cord. And he could have left his son alive...

I don't know. That would have left his son pretty fucked up for life. The father could have seen it as a mercy kill. You know, killing to prevent what the killer sees as a worse fate for the killee.

I wonder who it was that posted the information about Benoit on Wiki 14 hours prior... I know they were able to trace the IP of the person who made the edit, and I've heard comments that it was just a sheer coincidence... but it seems a bit farfetched.

The son already has a mental impairment, so, yeah, compounding that doesn't sound fun.

Compounding that doesn't sound fair? Taking his life away ISN'T fair! There is no excuse for killing another person. NONE WHATSOEVER!

Agreed 100%.

They all faked their deaths.

Hmmm...I don't see someone fucked up enough to murder his wife caring about his son whatsoever.

Probably killed him so the son wouldn't testify against him.

lmao:p

That would be their most messed up plot twist to date.:D

Probably killed him so the son wouldn't testify against him.

Yeah...thats most likely it.

And the most messed up thing about all of this is there are still fanatics out there who defend Benoit because of his 'in-ring ability'.

As if being able to rub on other dudes on national television makes you a good person.:rolleyes:

Not just rubbing on other dudes, but the scripted rubbing on of other dudes.

It's always annoying when someone posts a thread like one this and doesn't come back to try to explain just what the hell they were getting at.

It's like Mortal Kombat, except the fighters only need to be able to measure out stuff better than the rest of the guys.

Yeah...thats most likely it.

Eh it's the same reason why people like to hear news about Paris Hilton, or Rosie O' Donnell, or any of the other celebrities that won't matter in 10 years.

Or that they masturbates to "celebrity" news, and I am using the word news in the looses sense possible.

For some of them the clock is at 14 and counting...

Probably. :rolleyes: And then they go and read what the tabloids have to say and swear it to be truth.
