the Mind’s Chew Toy

Per the latest comments from WWE.com, the news has been sensationalizing the horrific double homicide-suicide of this past weekend involving Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy, and their son Daniel.

As can be expected surrounding the death of any wrestler these days, steroid use is the smoking gun everyone is using to explain this horrorific tragedy.

According to wwe.com, Chris Benoit, to their knowledge, has not used steroids, and in fact passed a drug test aimed at spotting steroids back in April of 2007. The investigators did not find any illegal medications at the home, steroids included - and, based on the evidence, investigators state they have no reason to suspect that Chris Benoit was on steroids.

Mr. McMahon makes a statement, saying that last night, RAW showcased a tribute to Chris Benoit’s career. 26 hours later, the facts of the case are “now apparent”, and aside from his comments, Chris Benoit’s name will not be mentioned in tonight’s show. Instead the first step of the healing process will begin for all those affected by these shocking events, and WWE superstars will do what they do best - entertain.

More information from the investigators on the deaths of Chris Benoit, Nancy and Daniel leave fans in a state of shock - and searching for a reason…Heather and I included.

Tonight’s 3-Hour RAW is dedicated to Chris Benoit, who was found dead in his home this past weekend, along with his wife Nancy and their son Daniel. Authorities are undergoing an investigation.
