Are Chris Benoit and Batista the same (details inside)?

Question

I asked a question a couple of hours ago(http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Asa8M.1gbpvy..Tcoxqnlcjty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080812122018AAKKiaY ) and one of user brought up a point. People (including me) hate Batista mainly b/c he cheated on his wife. But Chris Benoit (RIP) killed his family (RIP) and we still like him. Do you think Batista and Chris Benoit are the same?

What I think: I think that I like Chris Benoit b/c he was a good wrestler and he was nice guy in the ring and backstage and towards the fans. I guess you can overlook what he did to his family and like him for his in-ring ability.

But I think I hate Batista b/c he isn't a good wrestler, he isn't a good guy backstage, he upsets the fans, and on top of that, he cheated on his wife when she had cancer.

There is something to like about Chris Benoit (his wrestling ability and him in side the ring), whereas Batista has everything going against him

Answer 1

If you're going to dislike wrestlers who have problems in their marriages and date other people. Then there is a long list of people you are not going to like. I'll keep their names to myself. Let's just say, being on the road 250 days or more every year is hard on any relationship.  

Answer 2

They were both wrong in what they did. Very Wrong. What Chris did was worse though. He took two human lives aswell as his own. But i think the fact that Chris had the brain problems of an 80 Year old does make you know that it wasn't all Chris's fault.  Batista could have prevented what he did. That was his own choice. Batista had NO excuse for what he did. Chris had problems with his head and everything. Im not saying that it wasnt all his fault because he is partly to blame.

But what Batista did was sick and thoughtless. I condone none of it. I find both what they did wrong and horrible. Just because Chris was good in the ring doesn't make what he did even better. What he did in and out the ring was different. In the ring Chris was on a whole new level compared to Batista.

Batista sucks in the ring though. But just because Chris can wrestle doesn't make what he did right. You can like Chris Benoit in the ring but just because he was one of the best Wrestlers does not make murdering his wife and 5 year old son right at all. Both of them were in the wrong and both did something distgusting. Batista just sucks all together because he is horrible in and out the ring. But as much as i dislike Batista (This is hard for me to say) i think what Chris did outside the ring was far worse.  

Cheating on your wife when she has cancer is one of the worst things you  can do. But its not punishable by law. However what Chris did is. I wouldn't say they are the same. Chris was better in the ring but worse out the ring. Im sorry but i find taking someones life far worse than cheating. I cant stand Batista for what he did - MANY people know about how i feel about this guy. I just dislike him so much. And its hard for me to admit but i the fact is you cannot compare taking someones life to cheating on someone when they had cancer.  

They both did something terrible and horrible and both should be ashamed for what they did.  If you look at it this way though, IF Benoit was still alive, he would be standing Trial and facing time in prison. Batista on the other hand would still be Wrestling. But atleast Chris was good in the ring, but, it doesnt make what he did anymore right or anymore wrong, however the same cant be said for Batista he had no excuse for what he did.

no no no no no no no no. there is no excuse for murder especialy to your wife and disabled son, no matter how good of a wresler or actor or football player you are. I am not saying that what batista did was right, but i would would never compare batista to chris benoit.

Answer 7

I asked a question like this a couple of hours ago...

I always say we should remember Chris Benoit for what he did inside the ring not outside of it.

And well Batista he sucks inside the ring and outside of it.

Thats why i like Chris Benoit and Hate Batista.

Answer 8

NO ABSOLUTELY NOT! Batista is NOTHING like the Late Great Chris Benoit,Benoit had an excuse for what he did(Head trama from too many Diving Headbutts,and (supposidly) riod rage),Botchtista had ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE for cheating on his Cancer diagnosed wife with 2 other women or being an @sshole out of character.
