Vince McMahon appeared on "The Today Show" earlier this morning discussing the Benoit family tragedy.

On steroids playing a role in the deaths:
"Steroids may or may not have had anything to do with this. It’s all speculation until the toxicology reports come back."

On WWE's statement saying steroids didn't play a role:
"We didn’t say that. Our reaction was reacting to the hysteria of the media."

On Chris Benoit's actions:
"Obviously, this was not an act of rage. It was an act of deliberation. There were a number of prescription medications found in the house. Whether they contributed to this, who knows? Whether there was some other aspect for something to do with this behavior, hopefully we’ll find out in some way. What we’re about is putting smiles on people’s faces. We’re entertainers. We entertain all over the world. That’s the job description. It’s not something to be tainted and smear with this. It’s no different than a postal worker (shooting) up a post office. There was no indication whatsoever that this person turned into a monster and do what he did. Steroids may or may not have something to do with this. There were other pressures in terms of his son and wife. I don’t know, We may never know. But hopefully, we can put this to bed as best we possibly can and determine what happened once we have the real evidence."
