Didn't they say Benoit's brain was basically equivalent to an 80-year old with Alzheimers? Not by any means a justification for what he did, but he wasn't all there.
There are people that really believe Chris Benoit didnt murder his son and Nancy

Basically. Dude was mentally insane. Unfortunately, that doesn't matter because he killed his wife and son. And you know in our society, killing women and children (esp children) is that ultimate no no. So nobody cares about his mental condition because of their emotions.

Yeah the mans brain had turned into Swiss cheese. Not the actions of a sane individual. He'd totally lost his mind. 21 years of brain trauma in the ring.Basically. Dude was mentally insane.

Every person who commits a reprehensible act does so because their brain is "different" from someone who wouldn't commit such an act. Including the worst people imaginable, ie. pedophiles, Hitler, etc. It's a strange kind of logic that says that your brain being messed up because of exogenous shocks inflicted during your adult life makes your kinda less culpable than if your brain was just messed since before you even had the capacity to make decisions, during development in utero, or because of childhood trauma, or whatever.

What Chris Benoit did was pure evil and he should never be in the HOF...
But you're lying to yourself if you don't think he's top 5 technical in ring performers ever, everything he did was so crisp and on point, every slam looked like it hurt, every move took an incredible amount of finesse to pull off. I know what he did was completely fukked but he wasn't in his correct state of mind and he's just way too good to not separate the man from the work.
And this is coming from someone who stopped watching wrestling over what he did, I didn't watch any wrestling for years and years over what Benoit did, it fukked me up so hard that one of my favorite wrestlers could've done that shyt, but after giving it some time, while I'll never look at him the same, Benoit the man =/= Benoit the wrestler

Great wrestler, terrible actions. I'm not going to turn off his matches if they come on, but I'd NEVER try to defend his actions or act like he should be HOF and mentioned on WWE tv.
Fully agree. I hate when people use his brain issues as a cop out. If you like him enough to separate the two, cool, but let's not pretend like there aren't prisons and death rows full of mentally fukked individuals like him. If he was Chris Benoit the trashman or plumber, everybody would be calling a spade a spade and admitting he fukked up. Just cause he did some nice suplexes doesn't absolve him of his actions.

There are people out there who still believe that Benoit didn't murder his wife and son? 
He was one of the best technical wrestlers and one of my last true mark out moments was him winning at WM 20 but I still can't and won't ever try to rationalize his actions or separate what he did to his family from his career by saying he was a great wrestler whose brain was severely fukked. There were football players with CTE as well, but you never heard of them doing the heinous shyt that Benoit did.
