Eerie Nancy Benoit Text Messages Warned of Steroid Abuse

This could become a huge story over the next few days, one that may lead to horrific publicity for the WWE.

Reportedly, Nancy Benoit complained of Chris Benoit's steroid abuse and referred to WWE's Wellness Policy as a "joke" in text messages retrieved from her husband's cell phone just weeks before his murderous spree.

"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."

Benoit and his family were found dead a few weeks later, on June 24.

In a text message later that same day, Nancy pointed to WWE's wellness program: "Get off the stuff," she wrote to her husband. "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."

We hate to bring this topic up again, but the tragic warnings and words of Nancy Benoit are chilling to recount.
