Why are they (WWE) running a tribute to someone who killed his wife and child?

I was wondering the same thing.

I have been thinking about this one all day. I have a son his age.
: RIP.

Because WWE honors its own. No other reason needed.
I want to add that clearly, for someone to do this, there must have been a mental imbalance. I am sensitive to that and feel bad for him too - but I can't imagine how it would feel to the wife's family to see a tribute to the man who killed their daughter.

What about honoring the family of one of their own?

Benoit's 43-year-old wife was killed Friday in an upstairs family room, her feet and wrists were bound and there was blood under her head, indicating a possible struggle, Ballard said.

The son was killed shortly afterwards, and the body found in his bed, Ballard said.

Benoit, 40, apparently killed himself at least several hours and as long as a day later, Ballard said. His body was found in a downstairs weight room, hanging from the pulley of a piece of exercise equipment.

The prosecutor said he found it "bizarre" that the WWE wrestling star spread out the killings over a weekend and appeared to remain in the house for up to a day with the bodies.
That does not sound like a man who was in his right mind.
I feel badly for all of them, even him.

They're saying "roid rage" may be a factor.

for that poor boy and his Mom. How absolutely horrifying to be killed by the man you thought would always be there to protect you.

for his other children as well. What a horrible legacy to live with.

can you change the title to say *disturbing*, please?

The first time I heard of this I wondered if there wasn't steroid drugs involved. I wonder if there wasn't some other mental illness.
From what I understand the tribute was begun before they knew the details of the deaths. Now that it has been revealed what happened I believe the tributes have ended.

I copied and pasted the title from the news title itself.

I was wondering when this story would find it's way here. Was gonna post it but didn't want to admit I had followed WWE at a time.

I can't understand why there is so much of this lately. Moms killing her kids, husbands killing their wives. If you want to end it fine why take everyone down with you.

Apparantly the 7 y/o boy had been receiving injections of growth hormones for some time. I wonder if it was due to an actual medical problem, or if the parents wanted their son to have an "edge".

I believe they ran the tribute before it was announced that it was murder-suicide. The police department didn't mention murder-suicide until after 10pm last night.

I have my theories. Drugs, weird horrible stuff in the food and water supply, static electricity and microwaves everywhere, overstimulation from 666 channels of 24-hour TV, paranoia about terrorism and global climate catastrophe, paranoia about impending apocalypse ... all that stuff. I really really really think that all of what I just listed plays a huge role in the decline in mental health in our country, and to an extent around the world.

Anyway,
for that poor mother and son.
Other emoticons for that terrible man.

My husband and I have a pact, that if heaven forbid we should ever fall out of love with one another, or if one hurts the other's feelings irreparably, we will simply divorce, with joint custody barring unforgiveables - we will not kill each other and will not kill our child. Period, end of story. I'm planning on holding up my end of the bargain.

Yes, like the PP said, the tribute was ran before it was revealed that this was a murder/suicide. At the time of the tribute it was just said that there was a "homicide investigation" going on.

That. When the tributes were going on no details had been released, they were assuming it was an accident or he had been murdered. WWE and most of the other wrestling sites have pulled the tributes, and WWE pulled all his merchandise. DH is a huge WWE fan.

Now they're saying he killed Nancy some time Friday and Daniel some time Saturday, before killing himself Sunday. I just pray to whomever is out there that the little boy didn't know what was going on.
