4:21 p.m. from a cell phone in Florida — perhaps Dean Malenko, a WWE agent and Benoit’s old “Three Amigos” pal.

4:32 from a land line in California — most likely wrestler Oscar “Rey Mysterio” Gutiérrez.

4:40 from Scott Armstrong. Interestingly, this call adds additional weight to the theory that Armstrong, a recipient of Benoit’s early morning texts, truly believed that his friend would be on an Atlanta-to-Houston plane that morning, and that Armstrong might even have been at the airport waiting for Benoit at 9:27 a.m., when Armstrong texted, “What time do u land?” (The alternative theory is that the Armstrong text — perhaps even if accompanied by Armstrong’s drive to the airport — along with this afternoon call by Armstrong, simply had the purpose of contriving a timeline item. But, as noted earlier, the alternative theory is somewhat weakened if Armstrong went to the trouble of driving to the airport.)

4:43 and 6:26 from a WWE cell phone. If there was a one-digit typo in the printout, it is possible that this was from the same person, “Mark,” who would text Benoit on Monday a willingness to “kayfabe for you” if Benoit was in any kind of trouble. (One of John Laurinaitis’s assistants in talent relations was named Mark Carano, but would not qualify as someone in the WWE inner circle of top executives.)

7:50 from a phone at the Toyota Center in Houston.

Several calls from Canada — from an old workout buddy of Benoit’s and from his ex-wife, Martina.

Perhaps significantly, no apparent calls from Chavo Guerrero. This raises the possibility that Guerrero and Scott Armstrong did not have the same level of information, even though both were recipients of the same early-morning texts; or, if they did have the same information, they acted differently on it, either in separate decision-making or in coordination.
