I really don't think there is a question of respect here. He obviously lost his mind long enough that a seven year old child lost his life. We shouldn't be talking about respect for this man for quite some time. What we should be is saddened for the wife, and especially the child.We should be confused as to how somebody that is a hero to so many can go off the deep end so far. We should reach out to people in our "real" lives, not our "tv" lives, and try to show a little compassion from time to time.

I think that if he had only killed his wife, (nothing personal or anything) that a lot more people would still respect him a bit more. Killing his wife would still be horrible, but come on a 7 year old kid. The wife would have had a chance at least, but not his son. But overall I think we are all jumping to conclusions. We will never know the truth, and what happens if down the road we get another detective saying that this was all a mistake int he investigating process? They were all murdered and it was set up to look like Benoit hung himself. Then what we would look like idiots all of us including WWE! for saying he was a no good murderer. Anything could have happened and I really do not know if I can respect him, but I am definitely not going to say he is no good he is a murderer and so on. I am not going to jump to any conclusions yet until the whole story is told. The autopsy and toxicology results, etc. And wwe was wrong to retract the tribute, if for nothing else his wife and son.
OH and ps. for all you out there who are saying you only respect his "persona" or character ion the ring, thats not who he really is... blah blah blah. Do you personally know him?? or know his personality, or anything to say thats not who he really is. You all keep saying he murdered his family etc. do you have any concrete evidence in your habds right now to prove he did it? or are you just going on what the media is telling you? Well you should have learned by now, we are all wrestling fans here, they story you hear is not always the truth. so dont judge him its none of our jobs to do that.

Murderers never lose my respect on the sole basis that they're murderers. I still have respect for serial killers and school shooters because I don't judge those with psychological problems. The man's dead, it's not like pissing on him now will punish him or anything. Benoit, as a person and a wrestler, still has my respect.
MACFanatic, his child was being injected with growth hormones to help fight this special condition that he had. Do more research on it before condemning someone like you just did.

You have respect for a 'persona' that you saw in the wrestling ring, unless you personally knew that man. If you didn't, you have things all messed up. People have this terrible thing about putting actors, wrestlers, athletes, etc., above normal people and idolizing them in a way that is not healthy. The truth is that Chris Benoit methodically murdered his wife and son and then took the coward's way out by hanging himself and that is not the kind of person who is worthy of your respect! He is a killer in real life and was a good wrestler, which was his job. Don't confuse the two things.

I agree, he still has my respect as a wrestler, I will never forget his intensity and his drive to win in the ring. He is one of the best technical wrestlers in the world. He will be forever missed.

Wrestling and killing do not weigh each other out. Once you kill someone all other **** you have done is gone. I cant believe people can put someone killing a 7 year old boy and a women behind them and say who cares about that he is such a great wrestler!

I will respect him still no matter what for the contributions he gave to the wrestling world. And I will not make any conclusions until every single piece of evidence is analyzed and every bit of the results are in. We don't know what was going on through his mind nor his family life or relationships to assume anything.

I'm going to turn the tables and ask the asker of the question: Why does he still have your respect?
Answer something other than he was a great wrestler.

He does not have my respect as a man and father, But he does have my respect as a great wrestler.
There is no getting around what he did was terribly wrong, especially to his innocent child.
