On top of what kurenai said, the steroids thing just makes it even weirder.
Benoit was well-recognized as one of the guys who rolled with the "no drugs" crew. He was one of those really old school athlete types, and also a trainer for new wrestlers. Physically, too, if you look at him, he's quite well built yet doesn't have any of the stereotypical steroid features, so, yeah, it is very weird.
I mean, you might expect some freaky steroided-up wrestler to be obsessed with injecting their kid with steroids or something, yet that doesn't fit Benoit's character at all.
I mean, one of his better friends in the wrestling industry (Eddie Guerrero) died of substance abuse.
So.
Weird.

You would think, but you got to remember that Chris's idol was the Dynamite Kid and think how bad that guy fucked up(Seriously, read his Biography). As well, you have the WWE pressures put on him, like having "The Look". Steroids were very nearly company policy before Eddie died as they wanted massive, larger than Life guys and near everyone had to be on the juice or lose their spot. Afterwards with the wellness policy in place , near everybody shrunk down in size or gained a gut(Seriously, look at Triple H after the policy went in. He went from shredded to beer gut in months) but soon started defying the policy and going back on because again, they feared for thier jobs. There was even some token firing's but no major players were affected.
Theres tons of factors going into it, but its what made him snap is the one im trying to figure out.
