3. Mr. Benoit is truly a good father. To go the extra effort that he has to find out what was wrong with his son by having his brain examined post-mortem is absolutely astounding. I commend his efforts on his son's behalf and as a concerned parent/grandfather. Many blessings to you, Mr. Benoit........

4. R.I.P. To Benoit & his Family. I think dude took too many elbows to the cranium and just went haywire(sp?). I didn't know he had nice parents, damn.. That's really horrible and we just forgot all about it it seems.

5. he looks so sad, it's heartbreaking...

you would think the wwf, and others, would acknowledge and monitor these things...are these guys just 'disposable' commodities?

6. For Vince McMann it's always about the money and never about the health of the wrestlers. We knew there was more to the story.

7. Please spare us the BS!!!

How many people out there have had multiple concussions, taken steroids, and have mental illness and don't go killing their family and themselves?

8. Can't steroids do this to a brain too?

9. to numbers 5 and 6

concussions come with the job..just like football and any full contact sport..if you dont say your hurting noone is going to baby a 20-30+ yr old man. if you hide your injuries so you dont get forced to rest thats somthing you decided..you choose money over health..and only the person themselves have responsiblility for that..If you read up on the wwe and not just go by whats reported you would know any injured wrestler is given time to heal up and is paid for the time they need to rest..imagine that job security if your hurt..in the years of wrestling wwe has only fired 1 injured wrestler and thats cause the guy was a prick bashign the company from home that was paying for him to heal..the wwe are one of the few wrestling companies who pay you to rest up

11. wwf, nfl, the 'major' players in any sport sets the bar for these guys,their demands are high...they want to 'win' or be the 'baddest' at any cost..after all, we're talking BIG money here...

12. Jeff, you're absolutely right. These injuries are part of the job and Chris still made the decision to remain with the WWE.

My heart broke for Michael Benoit. He's trying to make sense of this tragedy, but the fact still remains that Chris Benoit killed himself and his family. I feel sorry for the family he left behind.

13. His dad is sincere in his pain over what has happened.
He had the brain examined because he was sure his son in his right mind would not have
done this.
Up to now he hasnt made public statement or started any problems for any one
I truely believe that the the battle for Chris Benoits estate on his fathers end is to ensure his surviving children are taken care of
I do how ever question the motives of Nancy Benoits parents
To try to prove that Daniel died first is disturbing to me
I would think that the Benoits would be more than gracious in giving Nancys family her posessions and any thing that pertained to her
One would think that is all they would want but the fight is for the money and assets he had
I would have to question if he had supported them while he was alive otherwise why would some one argue over if their daughter or grand child died first?
They should possibly be entitled to the first home the couple purchased together but any thing after that was obviously funded through cbs monies he earned and should go to his children

14. A family member of my got alot of concussions while playing high school football. It affected his fine motoer skills and gave him head aches for a yr. The coach could care less "give a 110 percent." One yr after giving up football he couldn't explain why he palyed. He said "looking back I was so into the game, I was really stupid." I remember doing an MRI on a bull rider. His brain looked like a shaken baby"s. I see alot of kids who face a life time of pain because of sports injuries in high school. Last night I did an MRI on a kid's leg. He had alot of soft tissue damage (he was 12).

15. My heart breaks for this man. No one should have to bury their child let alone their grandchild and daughter in law. The level of pain this man must face everyday is something none of us, even in our worst days, could relate to. I hope this discovery gives him some peace of mind. I hope that God has forgiven Chris Benoit and greeted him with open arms.
