Chris Benoit was scheduled to appear at the WWE SmackDown/ ECW live event in Beaumont, Texas

3:30pm
A co-worker received a voice message from Benoit. The message from Benoit stated he missed his flight and over slept and would be late to the WWE Live Event. The co-worker called Benoit back, Benoit confirmed everything he said in his voice message and sounded tired and groggy. Benoit then stated, “I love you”. The co-worker stated that it was “out of context.”

3:42pm
The same co-worker was concerned with Benoit’s tone and demeanor and called Benoit for a second time. Benoit did not answer the call and the co-worker left a message stating “just call me back.”

3:44pm
Benoit called the co-worker back stating he didn’t answer the call because he was on the phone with Delta changing his flight. Benoit stated he had a real stressful day due to Nancy and Daniel being sick with food poisoning. They discussed travel plans for the WWE Tour of Texas with Benoit still sounding groggy at this point according to the co-worker.

4:30pm
A co-worker who consistently travels with Benoit, called Benoit from outside Houston airport and Benoit answered. Benoit told the co-worker that Nancy was throwing up blood and that Daniel was also throwing up. Benoit thought they had food poisoning. Benoit stated he changed his flight and he would be arriving into Houston at 6:30pm. Benoit told the co-worker to drive onto the WWE event.

5:35pm
Benoit called WWE Talent Relations stating that his son was throwing up and that he and Nancy were in the hospital with their son, and that Benoit would be taking a later flight into Houston, landing late, but would make the WWE live event in Beaumont.

6:10pm
A representative of Talent Relations called Benoit. The representative from Talent Relations asked Benoit what time Benoit was getting into Beaumont. Benoit responded he was leaving Atlanta at 9:20pm Eastern time arriving into Houston at 9:24pm Central time. The representative from Talent Relations advised Benoit that it would be too late to make the WWE live event in Beaumont. Benoit apologized citing he had a family emergency. The representative from Talent Relations suggested to Benoit that instead of going to the WWE live event in Beaumont, Benoit should take the flight to Houston, rest up and be ready for the Vengeance Pay-Per-View event.

6:13pm
The representative from Talent Relations called Benoit to reconfirm the travel plans with no answer from Benoit. The representative from Talent Relations left a voice message to take the flight and rest up.

Don't shoot the messenger there sparky......

I'm just copying and pasting

I'm not Rook, just found that to be funny.

Now that i have heard that she was bound at the feet and hands I'm sure it was an accident

Dude had EVERYONE fooled, he was a piece of shit murderer

[TheRook]

Wayne....

I agree with just about everything you said. In my gut I think Vince DID know the details, and I think Chavo Guerrero also knew more details then others because he was the one that got the criptic text messages early sunday morning.

I agree with Jimmy to the sense that Vince was in a catch 22 where nothing he did was going to end up right. When Owen Hart died on the PPV years ago, they had 24 hours to make a decision on what to do, and they ended up doing a tribute show to him.

Here it looks like they had 3 hours to make a decision. The first part was to cancel the show. I think that was the right decision due to the fact that the storyline was going to be about the "Death" of Vince's character in the show "Mr. McMahon"

The human side of me thinks that Vince may not have had all the details and decided to run the tribute show with the interviews.

The realist side of me knowing what I know about Vince, thinks that this was his way of the show going on and may have kept some of the info to himself, which if I am any of those wrestlers or commentators who had to go in front of the camera and cry and tell just how wonderful a family man Benoit was would be FURIOUS at Vince for hiding this shit.

But the show went on Tuesday. ECW and Smackdown were taped, and nothing else was said other then Vince's apology at the beginning of ECW.

I am on the fence myself....and it wouldn't shock me either way if Vince knew more then he let on.

Either way, that may be the end of me watching wrestling. It was entertainment...it was my "soap opera" so to speak. But I just have no reason to watch anymore.

[ChuckLazar]

No he just kicked his ass a few times and smoked him in the 40 yard dash

It's more like I fucked his wife in the ass with a base ball bat, while you watched and jacked off.

Good god...it's so tiresome.

But Christopher Nowinski, a former professional wrestler who worked with Mr. Benoit, and who was forced to quit because of head injuries, said he believed that repeated, untreated concussions might have caused his friend to snap.

“He was one of the only guys who would take a chair shot to the back of the head,” Mr. Nowinski said, “which is stupid.”

Mr. Nowinski has written a book called “Head Games: Football’s Concussion Crisis” (Drummond Publishing Group, 2006), about chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a condition that can cause memory loss, depression and “bizarre, paranoid behavior.”

Mr. Nowinski said that he had been trying to persuade the coroner examining Mr. Benoit to allow a brain exam to look for the telltale neurofibrillary tangles in the brain’s cortex, but that he had thus far been rebuffed.

“Part of me hopes there was something wrong with his brain,” Mr. Nowinski said. “The Chris Benoit I knew was always more concerned about everybody else’s well-being than his own.”

- WWE superstar King Booker sat down with KHOU out of Houston, Texas today to talk about the Benoit tragedy. Below are some of the highlights.

Booker said that he knew Benoit personally and as most people in the business that knew Benoit have said, commented that he had never seen a bad side of Benoit. He noted that he knew Benoit’s wife Nancy and all of his children. He characterized what has happened as completely "out of the norm and unexplainable."

Booker noted that he wrestled Benoit in 75-100 matches and just recently talked to him for about thirty minutes about the wrestling business. "We're all tired at certain points, we work a lot of hours, but I never saw this side of Chris. I've never seen Chris mad. I've never seen Chris angry. He was always the guy with a lot of positive energy, always pushing the guys."

He went on to tell a story of a student that came to his wrestling school in Houston, Texas to be trained. Booker said that the student arrived from Illinois, with “no way to go back” and had $800 in his pocket. He revealed that the student carried around a photo of Benoit and Eddie Guerrero with him, as he was inspired by them to pursue a career in professional wrestling. "That was just the type of person he was, always encouraging people. He didn't even know this guy, but that's the type of person he was." Booker commented.

When “roid rage” was brought up in the interview, Booker commented, "The media is going to put a spin on it, you know. We know that. WWE knows that. Did the guy last week who murders his wife and kid last week have any form of roid rage? He was a cop. This happens in any form of life. I feel like the human life is a delicate piece of equipment and everyone has their breaking point. We don't know what his breaking point was. You don't know what my point is, I don't know what your point is. We're all human. I just think it was a huge malfunction and whatever it was, we may never know. It's not for us to know. It's out of our hands and with God now."

Booker said that the wrestling industry is a huge family and he’s cried and wanted to pull his hair out over the tragedy. He revealed that he loved Chris and said that he is mad to see him "go out like this. I'm pissed at him in certain ways. I wish I could just hold him for a second, but it's out of our hands. I'll be there at the funeral and tell him goodbye and hopefully see him on the other side. Hopefully, I'll find out what happened one day."

This is from Meltzer

"It's such a complex issue, but there are two different Chris Benoits. I think that's the key, because the one thing is is that the Chris Benoit that we all knew was not this guy, but this guy did change in the last year and I believe -- there's many issues -- but it was the preponderance of dealing with many deaths led to increased drug use and I think it drove him crazy.

But at the same time, there were seeds of this early because you look at the 2003 thing where Nancy got the protection order against him so it does go back before the death of Eddie Guerrero, the death of Johnny Grunge, the death of Victor Mar all in a seven week period, and I really look at that as the turning point of Chris's life where he lost his best friend, he lost his best friend in Japan, and he lost the guy that would make him laugh when he was in the worst mood possible.

It affects everyone, but the deaths affect Chris really bad, and I'm not just talking about those three guys, but if you look at from Davey Boy and Owen and Brian Pillman and Larry Cameron even though Larry Cameron was years ago, but if you look at guys that Chris was close with, even Stu even though Stu was old. The list is really long and I just think that that depression from all of that, you know a 40 year old guy. They were closer to him than to most people. Brian Hildebrand is another one. So many of his closest friends, most of his closest friends had passed away at a young age. And I am not making any excuses for what happened, but I am saying that these were the things to a guy who had a very dark side.

Chris loved professional wrestling, but at the same time he was not stupid, and I think that that was an inner conflict as well. I think that all of these deaths had to tell him that there was something horrible, even though he would always say you cannot blame wrestling, the fact is that he had to at some point go, what's happening here yet at the same time he loved wrestling so deeply and a lot of other things led to more and more paranoia. Chris had gotten incredibly paranoid about everything and his drug usage had upped most likely over the last couple of months, and everyone pins the point from Eddie and those other two deaths."

Another thing that may have made him snap? His son had Fragil X disease:

Fragile X syndrome is a syndrome of X-linked mental retardation. Boys with the syndrome may have large testes (macroorchidism), prognathism, hypotonia and autism, and a characteristic but variable face with large ears, long face, high-arched palate, and malocclusion. Additional abnormalities may include lordosis, heart defect, pectus excavatum, flat feet, shortening of the tubular bones of the hands, and joint laxity. Females who have one fragile chromosome and one normal X chromosome may range from normal to mild manifestations of the fragile X syndrome. The fragile X syndrome has an estimated incidence of 1 in 3600 males and 1 in 4,000-6,000 females

A little story about a friend of mine.....

I used to hang with this guy who was dating my cousin. He was a pro football player. Offensive lineman for the Niners and Packers and started at times. He was huge. 6'7" and around 305 lbs. Mostly muscle.

This guy wouldn't harm a flea. Nicest guy I've ever know. My cousin and him broke up and I didn't hear much from him.

One day, years later, he called my cousin and told her he was in a mental ward and that people were after him. That someone was trying to kill him. He was married at the time.

Later that night, he broke down a metal door of the mental ward and ran into an apt complex. The swat team found him there. They rushed him and shot him 11 times with stun bullets. He wasn't fazed. He reached for a fire place poker and two cops emptyied their clips on him, killing him.

He had been on steroids for quite sometime. This was totallly out of carachter. He was so gentle and a very smart and a very normal guy when I knew him.

These drugs completely change people and are a huge problem in society....Hopefully, any of you that are taking them, will reconsider.

He snapped and killed his family because his son had a disease???

That's fucked up. How about loving the child for who he is. This has to be the lamest reason possible to kill them. Why the wife 1st ... did she have the disease too?

Nobody mentioned the interview with Chyna today on the Jim Rome show. She made it clear that all wrestlers were pretty much on roids, alcohol and other drugs. It's what gets them up for their matches. The adrenaline isn't just "Turned on".

They also talked about the Owen Hart tragedy and how it could have been avoided and how cold Vince was during that whole ordeal saying the show must go on which it did. There were also hints about how much Vince didn't like Owen's brother Brett and how the tragedy may have given Vince somne redemption towards Brett. They talked about alot and she talked about how she was forced out too.

Vince is anything but a good guy and she gave many reasons to again solidify he love for money over all else.

BOSS MAN OR ANYBODY-WHAT IS CHYNA DOING WITH HERSELF THESE DAYS-ALWAYS LIKED HER ??

The report today says he had steroids CLEARLY in him and his testosterone levels were 10 times higher than normal. They said he most likely hyped up on the drugs before the killings. It also said the son had been drugged with a sedative before he was killed. Sick, sick, sick!

Sure, steroids had NOTHING to do with any of this huh Vince? You piece of fucken shit, clean that up or better yet, let the fucken government do it.
