UK Toys R Us Sells Benoit


Internet site icWales.co.uk, the national website of Wales, reports on the fact that the Chris Benoit Ruthless Aggression figure is still selling at UK Toys R Us.

From icWales.co.uk:

"A TOY store has sparked outrage by selling figures of a real-life child-killer.

Cardiff’s Toys R Us was yesterday stocking figures of former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) wrestler Chris Benoit.

Benoit strangled his wife Nancy and seven-year-old son Daniel before hanging himself at his home in Georgia, USA, on June 25. A police investigation is ongoing.

After the tragedy, WWE’s Shopzone merchandise website pulled all stock related to Benoit. But the Echo was yesterday able to buy a four-figure pack featuring the wrestler at Toys R Us off Cardiff Bay Road.

The packaging was labelled Micro Aggression and the Chris Benoit figure stood in the package next to another figure called the Undertaker.

Former professional wrestler David Dimond, 30, from Barry, was horrified to see the Benoit figure on the toy store shelves.

The hospital security guard, who has a daughter and three stepchildren, said: “I was shocked. It’s disgusting.

“You might as well have Charles Manson in there."
