The wife of Chris Benoit was worried about her husband’s growing steroid use, and texted the wrestler her concerns just a month before he went on his family killing spree, according to a wrestling website.
STEROID NATION passes along news from PROWRESTLING.NET that Nancy Benoit had sent text messages to Chris warning him about his drug abuse.
“I will not accept this steroid induced roller coaster ride of emotional abuse,” Nancy wrote in a text message on May 9, 2007. “Ignoring the problem or running away isn’t going to help you face it. You need professional (help) and only if you’re fully honest about all of it.”
In a later text the same day, Nancy also told Chris what she thought of the WWE’s Wellness Program to monitor drug use in their performers:
“Get off the stuff,” she wrote. “It’s obvious (you’re on). I’m probably not the only one who can see and we both know the wellness program is a joke.”
Further found texts describe how Chris’ behavior had become more erratic and unstable toward Nancy:
“Are you trying to say this is how you grew up, watching your dad call your mom names and making her cry?” she wrote. “No. Then what gives you the right.”
Such new revelations could cause yet another PR nightmare from the WWE, who’s already having to deal with fans getting burned by the latest Wrestlemania.
