WWE spokesman Robert Zimmerman said via e-mail: "The double homicide-suicide … was an extremely tragic and unforeseeable occurrence. The WWE cannot speculate on what led to the senseless murders and suicide, nor can WWE be held accountable for the tragic personal actions of Chris Benoit."

The father is making all sorts of wild accusations.  The WWE never speculated on any aspect of the senseless murders and suicide. They never commented on it, and left it up to Atlanta authorities to handle.

It has always boggled the mind when parents capitalize on their child's death for the almighty dollar and or fifteen minutes of fame.

Perhaps it should be named Cindy Sheehan Syndrome since it's clearly an identifiable mental disorder.

Why can’t i ever do that

Well....I drink heavily.

>>> but Linda McMahon isn’t any more responsible for this

Not directly but certainly she is to the extent the corporation tolerated and implicitly encouraged steroid use. To be a star in modern wrestling you have to be a physical freak of the sort that few can achieve without chemistry. Drugs that COULD have been tested for if the corporation genuinely wished to discourage their use.

But they turned a blind eye instead. They gave the screaming ringside mob what they wanted. Not real wrestling, but a freakshow. A number of wrestlers paid the price.

This is an issue they had to know would be thrown into the mix. My guess is the people who would be turned off Linda by this weren’t reachable in the first place.

Just goes to show Blumenthal doesn't know how to create a job but can sling mud. He has no plan to get us out of this mess and Linda does. It will be my pleasure to vote for her and every other (R) on the ballot.

So why then don’t all professional wrestlers kill their family?

Benoit is the man who’s responsible. This is the usual slime tactics of the Dims. Blumenthal thinks this will get him traction, he’s wrong.

I despise him for taking advantage of the grief of Benoit’s dad.

probably cashing the checks.
