PARTS 133 – 144

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 133 Mr. McDevitt: I will post the text of your email. I think independent observers would agree

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 134 with my position that the questions I am raising constitute a search for the full

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 135 truth of the surrounding narrative — not with your position that they show reckless

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 136 disregard for the truth. I have never said or suggested that anyone other than Chris Benoit

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 137 committed the double murder/suicide. Inter alia, you object to my reference to the 1983 death

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 138 of Jimmy Snuka’s girlfriend. My chapter about that incident in my book Wrestling Babylon discusses

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 139 the recollection of an investigator that Vince McMahon served as Snuka’s “mouthpiece” when he was

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 140 interrogated by the police. Your bullet point No. 8 has no specifics. No. 9 goes off on a tangent

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 141 about Michael Benoit. As for the others: 1. Vince McMahon’s no-show of the Congressional hearing.

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 142 Your objection to the term “no-show” comes down to semantics. The controversy was well documented

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 143 in the mainstream media, as well as in my post “Wrestling Is Back on the Congressional Radar

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 144 Screen,” [old URL]. 2. Dr. Astin/Signature Pharmacy/DEA. I am far from the only journalist who has

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 121 Nancy Benoit, but also charging him with conspiracy with some of the recipients of his

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 122 prescriptions to further distribute the drugs. As Michael Benoit surely knows, since he is the

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 123 executor of the estate, the house where the murders were committed had no mortgage. Instead, the

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 124 builder was paid by a series of payments totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars, and all

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 125 payments were consistently made by Nancy Benoit from various accounts. In closing, try as you

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 126 might, Chris Benoit, and only Chris Benoit, is factually, legally, and morally responsible

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 127 for the murders of his wife and child and his decision to commit suicide rather than face

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 128 the legal consequences for committing two first degree murders. Notwithstanding your desire

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 129 to shift blame to WWE by your ill-conceived conspiracy theories in order to promote yourself or

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt 130 a book, please try to get your facts correct in the future. Rest assure WWE will not stand idly

PARTS 109 – 120

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 109 of my son’s brain.” Mr. Benoit also characterizes the indictment of Dr. Astin as not alleging

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 110 anything improper with the prescriptions given Chris Benoit for painkillers and muscle relaxers,

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 111 stating the amounts were not excessive. First of all, in none of the public comments of which I am

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 112 aware has any doctor, including Drs. Bailes, Omalu and Cantu, stated that alleged concussions

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 113 caused Chris Benoit to commit the first degree murders of his wife and son. In fact, I distinctly

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 114 recall Drs. Bailes and Cantu stating they could not render such an opinion. I would further note

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 115 that SLI’s purported findings came out before any of the police investigative work was made

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 116 public. I rather doubt that any reputable physician who has read that report would render

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 117 an opinion that alleged “concussions” made Chris Benoit hog tie his wife and then brutally murder

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 118 her in the fashion depicted in the police report, and none has to date. Secondly, the allegation

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 119 of the new indictment portrays a much different scenario than Michael Benoit portrays, in fact

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 120 charging Dr. Astin with not only prescribing an illegitimate amount of drugs to both Chris and

PARTS 97 – 108

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 97 8. WWE’s Policies – Once again, no real question here; just hyperbole. 9. Cocktail of Death –

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 98 The police report, incomplete as it is in certain material respects, nevertheless portrays

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 99 a deeply troubled marriage having nothing to do with WWE. As to the concussion theory, suffice it

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 100 to say that none of that alleged scientific work has ever been made available for independent

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 101 review, and the notion that Chris Benoit had the brain of an 85-year old with dementia defies

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 102 both common sense as well as the observations of those who had contact with him every week.

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 103 Simply put, he couldn’t have found the airport if that supposed “finding” were even remotely

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 104 accurate. It was for that reason that we asked the Sports Legacy Institute to turn over all of its

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 105 “science” for independent review. They have refused to do so. In regard to the alleged concussion

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 106 issue, I further note that you have posted the comments of Michael Benoit on your web site

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 107 regarding the new indictment of Dr. Astin together with Mr. Benoit’s statement that “the findings

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 108 of Doctors Bailes, Omalu and Cantu that the underlying cause of the tragedy was the condition

PARTS 85 – 96

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 85 two hours before calling 911, or what these unknown persons supposedly knew, is conveniently

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 86 left out of your report, precisely because you know that the whole construct is utter nonsense.

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 87 To be clear, WWE’s timeline reflects what it knew and when, and your attempts to suggest otherwise,

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 88 are simply malicious fabrications. There is not a shred of evidence anywhere that Chris Benoit told

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 89 anybody what he had done—orally, by text message, or by any means—before taking his own life.

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 90 6. “Yo, Scott and Chavo” – Once again, in your attempts to conjure up unanswered questions and

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 91 suggest something nefarious, you ignore that Chavo Guerrero gave nationally broadcast versions

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 92 of exactly what happened and when, including when he advised WWE of Chris Benoit’s text messages.

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 93 Your desire to create a story out of whole cloth is no excuse to ignore facts of record.

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 94 7. “Who Let the Dogs Out” – Is the suggestion of this non-issue that unnamed WWE personnel used

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 95 their alleged, but non-existent, two hour head start to go to Benoit’s house for some reason

WWE on Muchnick’s ‘CHRIS & NANCY’ Pt. 96 to leave the dogs out? Exactly what purpose would be served by anybody leaving the dogs out anyway?
