Chris Benoit found dead (From WWE.com)

[PepperCarrotMan]

http://www.wwe.com/

WWE is sad to report that Chris Benoit and his family have been found dead in their home. Police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the deaths. Tonight's Raw will be a tribute to Chris and his family.

I hope this is a work.

[IC Champion]

WTF is this shit?

[The Fugitive]

Oh god no.

[Zeeboe]

What the hell....are they fucking with us??

[PepperCarrotMan]

WTF is this shit?

If WWE removes this, so I dont get in trouble, I took a screenshot.

[IC Champion]

Well I have The Score on, and I live in Canada, so if he's really dead they'll say something about it.

[IC Champion]

No, i seen it myself

[The Genius]

so is how the angle is going to play out? people will start dying off until the car bomber/murderer is revealed?

[Zeeboe]

It's gotta be a work...

[St. Jimmy]

O_ O what the fuck is going on?

[The Fugitive]

PWInsider is reporting it as well.

Goodbye Wolverine. :(

[PepperCarrotMan]

so is how the angle is going to play out? people will start dying off until the car bomber/murderer is revealed?

I hope this is the case.

[ShakeZula]

no way it is a work:-(

[IC Champion]

If it were real it would have an "R.I.P. Chris Beniot" and the year of birth and death, then again it is WWE.

[Dorkchop]

Holy fucking shit.

[KayfabeMan]

holy shit
this better be a fucking sick joke

[SammyG]

what the FUCK is going on. FUCK WWE

[diothoir]

Fuck.

[KayfabeMan]

one would think that if a whole family were found dead in their home that it wouldve been picked up by cnn or msnbc or some shit havent heard anyting on it all day

[Exyle]

If this is a work, it's the most tasteless thing WWE has ever pulled, and I, for one, will boycott the company for pulling such a stunt.

[Zeeboe]

I really hope we are all laughing at ourselves later tonight over this when we find out that it was all a work.

[SammyG]

WHAT THE FUCK. Seriously now, this is fucking bullshit. TERRIBLE joke. The way it's stated just pisses me off. WHAT THE FUCK, once again.

[The Fugitive]

If it was a stunt, why would PWInsider report it as legit?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Theres no way it's a work, Benoit wouldn't have agreed to do it, no way. Just weird how it was the day after he had "personal problems".

There's going to be stories about this for weeks before we find out the truth.

[Pepsi Man]

What...the fuck?!

[St. Jimmy]

I kinda agree, if this is a work I'll really never forgive WWE. It's not funny.

[IC Champion]

How the fuck would they both be dead, that shit fucked up, since he had a family emergency last night.

[Russenmafia]

This isn't a work, doubt the WWE would pull anything like that off.

RIP Benoit.

[Triple A]

Wow.

And yeah, there is no way this is a work. That would be ridiculous.

[CYCLOPTERSAURUS]

This had better be a fucking joke.

[Anybody Thrilla]

No no no no no no no, fucking no

[FakeLaser]

This is terrible, terrible news.

I don't really know what to say.

[NoRoolz]

Holy fuck. I need confirmation on it either being legit or a work. PLEASE let it be a work.

[FakeLaser]

This is seriously the worst.

[Corkscrewed]

WHAT THE FUCK????

As much as I pray that this is a work (because that would be a much better alternative, even though that'd be pretty fucking sick), it can't be. It said he AND HIS FAMILY. They wouldn't include that if it was a work.

Sounds to me like homicide. Which is fucked up. Seriously...

I can't really process this right now, btw. There's a large part of my that refuses to believe this.

[Shaggy]

I cant believe this...Im am seriously hurt right now...

[SammyG]

IT HAS GOT TO BE A WORK. FUCK. No way Benoit is dead. I just don't buy it. You think you woulda heard something about it. Maybe they are going with a serial killer angle. This is definitely make it or break it for the WWE. Completely fucking tasteless angle. Chris Benoit is not dead :(

[McLegend]

Meltzer is reporting it now to.

This sucks

[Corkscrewed]

I also think the Vince death angle is pretty much... well, for lack of a better word, dead as well. Sherri they could have played off; no way they can do a fake death now. Not when it the guy who prolly would have been their next fucking ECW champion.

Fuck. Eddie and Benoit??? Just three years ago...

[Anybody Thrilla]

The WWE would never stoop that low. There is no way this is a work. It's fucking disgusting, though. My God. R.I.P., Crippler.

[FakeLaser]

I just read it on Wrestling Observer. It's legit.

[KingofOldSchool]

Woah.

[CYCLOPTERSAURUS]

If this ISN'T a work, they had better be fucking sure to distinguish this from the WORK that is McMahon's death.

[SammyG]

If this is fucking true, Vince better come out and pay tribute. End the fucking stupid Mcmahon death angle, if this is true. It can't be though. God Damnit, I am never watching wrestling again if this is an angle.

[XL]

At the moment I'm failing to believe this.

If it's true it royally fucks up the Vince storyline, but that's beside the point.

All of them dead? I can't get my head around this.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I still think they will go ahead with the Vince shit, just delay it a week.Hell, they did all that Eddie stuff...

[Blitz]

Oh my fucking God. I cannot believe this.

[Skippord]

WHAT THE FUCK


NO

[KingofOldSchool]

Waaaaiiiit

[Corkscrewed]

So I'm reading this article posted yesterday about Benoit supposedly GOING HOME due to a family emergency.

http://www.powerwrestling.com/news/board.php?Show=4325

I thought he just didn't show... or maybe it's a coverup. But if he went home, and now he and his family (key word here... the report is his FAMILY) are dead... then seriously... did he snap or something? Or did someone else snap?

This is bizarre. I don't know how to react.

[NoRoolz]

Holy fuck I can't believe this.

As much as I'm sure it's legit, I want to cling on to the tiny piece of hope that it IS an angle.

[KingofOldSchool]

No fucking way

[Blitz]

My God, didn't even know it was his whole family. How fucking horrible.

[NoRoolz]

His whole family though :S

So many emotions going through me right now.

[DS]

Completely thought this was a work with him missing the PPV last night for "family issues" and still have a hard time believing this. Eddie I was surprised about but this I'm more in a shock about. Ridiculous.

Yeah, there's going to be a shit load of speculation, but we should probably hold off until there's more concrete info about what happened or even cause of death....

[Corkscrewed]

Meltzer specifically said Benoit, his wife, and his son were found dead.

What. The. FUCK!?!

[Skippord]

Good Lord I hope he didnt do what I think he did

[starfox8500]

This is really ghey, making Vince's "Death" Seem even more innappropiate

[Skippord]

Or someone else did

[Blitz]

I'm literally shaking right now. I cannot believe this.

[KingofOldSchool]

Chris, Nancy, and their kids.

Horrible.

[SammyG]

OMG RIP if this is true. I can not believe this.

[IC Champion]

Good Lord I hope he didnt do what I think he did

[Skippord]

Maybe it was something like Carbon Monoxide poisoning?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Good Lord I hope he didnt do what I think he did

I think you're thinking what a lot of people are thinking, but like I said probably not the time to speculate just yet.

[KingofOldSchool]

This is really ghey, making Vince's "Death" Seem even more innappropiate

No, really?

[Batsu]

I really don't know what to say.
Wrestlers have been dropping so much recently that it's almost numbing.

But this... Benoit and his entire family.
Shit, Benoit was always in the running for my favorite wrestler EVER.
FUCK!!

...I don't think I can watch WWE anymore.
I mean, it's been shitty enough not to, but after this.... I don't think there's anything that can bring me back to watching.

[Corkscrewed]

The most obvious speculation would be that, given the "he went home" thing.

The second most obvious speculation was that this was like a hit job... or something that targeted them, ala the Charles Manson / Sharon Tate thing (in a way).

Fuck, I'm speculating now.

[The Fugitive]

I don't even want to think about what happened.

[MVP]

I'm in utter shock. My condolences go out to the rest of the Benoit family.

[NoRoolz]

Was there any known problems in Benoits life?

This doesn't make any sense.

Fuckin' horrible.

I'm so shaken up...

[Jordan]

Holy fucking shit, I can't even say anything this is just too much.

[Corkscrewed]

Maybe it was something like Carbon Monoxide poisoning?

Could be... that would be like some sick joke from whatever higher power you believe in, though.

[diothoir]

RIP Chris and his family.

Still cannot believe this.

[KingofOldSchool]

I wonder how poor Dean Malenko is feeling right now.

I feel so bad for everyone backstage at Raw right now.

[Corkscrewed]

Right now, saying something like "RIP" or "my condolences" is like confirming that they're all gone.

I'm in total shock and denial. I'm not even letting my mind think about it.

[road doggy dogg]

wow this is so terrible, feel like throwing up

[XL]

I started with utter disbelief (as in, it's a work I don't believe it)
Then I went on to being upset, literally close to tears
Then I kinda just went into shock
Now I'm back to disbelief (but in a different way to before)

[Watson]

What I don't get is there was a a family emergency before he even went home. So something bad happened before he got there and the fact that they all wound up dead just makes no sense. The only thing I can figure is if they were murdered the killers were harrassing his family and when he got home they killed him and his family.

[NoRoolz]

Right now, saying something like "RIP" or "my condolences" is like confirming that they're all gone.

I'm in total shock and denial. I'm not even letting my mind think about it.

Exactly how I feel :'(

[Corkscrewed]

I wonder how poor Dean Malenko is feeling right now.

I feel so bad for everyone backstage at Raw right now.
Yeah, out of everyone in the lockerroom, he's gotta be the guy who's taking it the hardest.

Ironic that tonight was supposed to be a three hour McMahon-centered episode.

Well, it's three hours to pay tribute to one of the greatest technical grapplers in the business. Ever.



(geez, that irrational part of me just wants Eddie and Benoit to walk out tonight and go... "WE LIED!!!")

[IC Champion]

Its like anyone who's been trained in the Dungeon is Cursed.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Death:On June 25, 2007, wwe.com announced shockingly that Benoit and his family were found in his home dead. No other details are known at this time.

Goodbye, old pal...he was another superstar who was way way way too young to die (40). Well, he will be happy to see his best friend Eddie Guerrero up there in Heaven. Not to mention, a lot of us are still getting over Sensational Sherri’s sudden passing. I don’t mean to be stupid, but maybe Vince should be taking this as a lesson, that death isn’t something you can put into the script of your life and fake it when it really happens, like a wrestling storyline. This just further goes to prove that we must live every day to the fullest, for we never know when it will be our turn to return to the ground, and life is way too short to be running around scared of dying. We might as well make good use of the time we get with friends and family in our earthly lives, because some of these people we will surely not see for quite some time after our/their passing.

[Sickboy]

It says this in wikipedia

D"eath Angle

On June 25th the WWE announced Benoit and his family to be dead, but it has been confirmed this is part of the 'murder' storyline that has also taken Mr. McMahon's "life"


Hope it's true

[KingofOldSchool]

And guys like Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho, Lance Storm, and William Regal are probably taking this hard.

And the fans who will be at Raw live tonight, they probably won't find out about this until right before the show starts.

[addy2hotty]

Simply can't take in this news, just off to bed and saw this, now have to stay up to see what is said on Raw.

I haven't seen any timeframes involved as most sites are crashing (inc WWE.com), but if this happened yesterday - is it another case of the 'show must go on' BS? People were saying how poor it was, maybe a coincedence, I dunno. Pretty unforgivable if it was.

RIP Chris, you were a true Champion in every sense of the word.

[Watson]

TNA is reporting it as well.

http://www.tnawrestling.com/news/fullnews2.php?all=1416

[Shaggy]

I swear to god if this is part of that shitty ass storyline then im never watching WWE again.

They cant toy with our emotions....we all knew Vince wasnt dead.

[Zeeboe]

There is still a small part of me that believes this is all a work and is tied to the McMahon/Death angle and that they are just covering this up really, really well. I mean, there's no secrets in wrestling anymore right? Maybe McMahon has figured out some ways to shock people again and get them watching...I wouldn't put it past him! The man is a genius.

I really think there's a chance we will all be laughing at this thread later....well, not all of us will be laughing. I think many people will be disgusted.

Anyway, my point here is we shouldn't assume things just yet.

[Sickboy]

It has changed already by now...

[DAMN iNATOR]

Dunno if what you said is true or not, Sickboy, but I do hope it is also. It’s pretty fucking pathetic to use wrestling as a veiled way of toying with people’s emotions.

And Benoit's page was most recently edited on Wikipedia as such:
On June 25, 2007, WWE.com reported that Benoit and his family were found dead in their Atlanta home and that police were investigating the situation.

Now, I’m no writer or anything for WWE, but if, if, they are using this as a way of continuing the McMahon death angle as though the WWE has a hidden serial killer, it would be pretty damn disgusting.

I hope so too.

I checked the atlanta journal constitution site. http://www.ajc.com/
You would think they would have something up about it. nothing is reported there yet.

Hope it's true

I checked Wiki (fountain of accurate info that it is) staright away. Didn't mention this as a work on there earlier.

And why would they kill him off?

[NoRoolz]

I so badly hope this is an angle.

I'll be soooo relieved.

Anger at the tastelessness would come later.

[KingofOldSchool]

I checked the Atlanta news stations websites and nothing was mentioned and I'm sure they would've picked up on a story involving a whole fucking family being found dead by now.

[DS]

This is pretty hard to believe. I remember when Eddie died pretty much every section of WWE's homepage had videos, pictures, news, interviews, etc about him. They only have a short story and a section for pictures for Benoit. They still have a WWE mobile link up which you think they would replace pretty quickly.

Could be that I'm just trying to find excuses to believe this isn't real at this point but does seem a bit odd. Hope this is part of the storyline.

[Corkscrewed]

I hope no one is seriously using Wikipedia as a reputable source, and that those things are just being posted as speculation.

Although fuck... I'm sure everyone's with me that this being an angle, no matter how sick, twisted, perverted, and horrible, would still be better than the real thing.



We're getting the same reactions as when Eddie died, btw. Same ones.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'm just fucking stunned.</font>

[James Steele]

I don't want to believe this. I have the same feeling I did with Eddie. I don't want to believe it, and I just don't know what to say.

[Zeeboe]

Guys, I realize I am a jobber in this place....

But please...just remember that Zeeboe a.k.a. Val Venis was the one who first predicted that it was a work.

Infact, I am starting to believe more and more that this is all staged.

You'll all be laughing at yourselves later for this and for many years to come...mark my words...hell, I already am laughing at some of you.

As for you who are sickened by McMahon...I bet you'll still watch his product and really hate his guts....which is what he wants.

McMahon has figured out once again how to shock people...I wish I were related to him...I'd be so rich....

[KingofOldSchool]

Could be that I'm just trying to find excuses to believe this isn't real at this point but does seem a bit odd. Hope this is part of the storyline.

Well they just announced his death, they probably need time to upload shit and stuff.

[Xero]

Holy fucking shit. I hope it's an angle. I hope Benoit blew up the limo.

It's a bit suspicious that he happened to have to leave Texas and then was found dead.

If this is true this really is very sad and I have to say Rest in Peace to one of the greatest.

This is like Eddie all over again, figuring it's an angle.

When I read it on the front page I went right to PWInsider to check it. Oh Lord this is bad. :(

[Corkscrewed]

Guys... it's only been an hour since this news broke. Even the internet has its limit on speed of report.

I've check the sites too, and we'll see what's going on.


Although, yeah, I'm holding onto a shread of hope that this is all a work. Still a shread...

[Cactus Sid]

Guys, this just isn't a work, this is just an absolute tragedy

Obviously we don't know what has happened, its not the time to speculate, it is a time to mourn the passing of one of the greats

Rest in Peace Chris, Nancy and Daniel, taken away way too soon

[IC Champion]

Yea Im from Canada, and there is nothing about this, and we're serious about our wrestling, and our Canadians, so...

[zdmay]

They still have the McMahon angle on the Raw page.

Benoit had been scheduled to appear on a WWE house show on Saturday. Sources tell us Benoit called to first say he would be taking a later flight, and then to say he would not be attending the house show due to a family illness. According to one source, Benoit said both his wife and son were throwing up blood and he needed to stay to take care of them.:'(

[Kane Knight]

I kinda agree, if this is a work I'll really never forgive WWE. It's not funny.

I hope it is a work, sick as it may be. But if it is, I will never watch them again.

I just don't know how seriously to take it after all the shit they've pulled, but fuck. I can't believe even WWE would do that. So I'm assuming that Chris and his family really are dead, and that sucks balls. But Hell, I would almost rather it just be some sick joke.

[NoRoolz]

Thinking more about it I think it actually is a work.

Maybe it's more hope than anything, but putting the things together already mentioned it could well be.

Also with RAW being 3 hours tonight, we've known that for a long-time maybe it was always scheduled to be a false Benoit appreciation night, rather than another McMahon show.

I feel bad saying this is a work because it very well may be legit and I don't want to have doubted the reality of this situation.

Really don't know how to feel right now :S

To my friend Chris Benoit R.I.P.

I was sitting here at my computer when I got a call informing me of the death of Chris Benoit and his family. Other than saying that my thoughts go out to to his remaining family, I don't know what to say. Chris had just called me on Thursday to check on me as he has every week since my surgery and now days later I find out that he's gone. He was my friend. This hurts! This fucking sucks!!!! Rest in peace my friend! Love you!





Takin from Gregory Helms' Myspace blog.

[Skippord]

Oh god

[Mr. Nerfect]

And guys like Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho, Lance Storm, and William Regal are probably taking this hard.

And the fans who will be at Raw live tonight, they probably won't find out about this until right before the show starts.

God, I hope they don't think it's a work and start booing. :'(

I hope this is a work, I really do, but it just doesn't make sense for it to be. He had no connection to Vince McMahon in storyline terms, so this being a serial killer angle doesn't make too much sense. Plus they've taken down all the Mr. McMahon stuff.

I hope this isn't how karma works. Mr. McMahon may have been an ass for playing with death, but Benoit doesn't deserve to be taken to prove a point. Nor does his family. R.I.P. Chris, Nancy and Daniel.

I also get bad feelings about this. Three people don't just die, especially after a family emergeancy. I don't want to speculate, but I think we have all considered two of the possible scenarios. Let's hope it isn't so. Fuck, let's just hope this is all a work.

[Mr Regal]

If this is a work it is in the worst possible taste!

If it is not a work it is the worst possible news.

[Corkscrewed]

It takes time to formulate a report on something. Even WWE.com's announcement was just a blurb. Most news agencies won't post something (written or announced on the news) unless there's details.

If anyone lives in Atlanta and has any news or radio news on, though, it *might* be mentioned there...

I dunno. I'm not letting myself feel right now.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Val: Nah, not a work. I doubt Benoit would pull something like this.

Gregory Helms has posted on his MySpace, someone else who I doubt would be involved in a fucked up work

Some guy on Wikipedia's discuss page is claiming to have called Channel 11 Atlanta and they said they checked with police and there is no investigation or news on this. It was an unsigned comment though.

[Volchok]

what are the two scenarios everyone is talking about?

[KingofOldSchool]

Now they've added Benoit pictures and videos on the front page of WWE.com

[Corkscrewed]

so I missed a bunch of good information.

Son and wife coughing up blood? So maybe it was a crazy illness? A virus? Poisoning? WTF?!


RAW page has been changed. This is real, folks. Not a work.

[Volchok]

RIP

[#BROKEN Hasney]

what are the two scenarios everyone is talking about?

1) Murder from someone hitting them all

2) Benoit snaps, kills them then takes his own life.

I hope neither of them are true, but if it had to be either, please let it be number 1.

[KingofOldSchool]

I hate to speculate. But I've got a bad feeling on what MIGHT'VE happened if what was reported about Nancy and Daniel coughing up blood causing Benoit to stay home and take care of them.

[MVP]

Yeah the info about the death angle was taken off Wikipedia

[RGWhat316]

Oh my god, one of my wrestling buddies just called me to tell me about this and I just cannot believe it. What a fn shame this is. Makes you think that his family emergency was this serious. I almost hate to specualte murder or something like that, but I just have no idea what to think right now. I guess if he would have gone ahead with the wrestling, he might be ok, but just wow. R.I.P. Chris.

[James Steele]

I refuse to believe this is real, yet. I dunno why, but I am a fucking Benoit mark and I am holding out until McMahon has his ass out on that ramp in 50 minutes on live television.

[Boondock Saint]

Oh my fucking god. Just heard...oh my god...just...no words...

RIP Chris Benoit and family. :( :'( :'( :'(

[Volchok]

Why would anyone wanna murder Benoit though? Not trying to make light of this subject because honestly I hate to see someone lose their lives but, Cena seems more likely to get a hit on them, then Benoit does.

[Corkscrewed]

Vince Bombing references are gone from the site, although they should prolly take down the "I DID IT" shirt from ShopZone.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Doesnt explain how Benoit died though :'(

Well, the investigation is probably less than an hour old so far, if even that, so if this is for real, which it would be pretty dumb of WWE to pull a stunt like this if it’s revealed to be a work, I say we just let the Atlanta police do their jobs, and have the medical examiner tell us what the probable cause of death was.

[addy2hotty]

I hate to speculate. But I've got a bad feeling on what MIGHT'VE happened if what was reported about Nancy and Daniel coughing up blood causing Benoit to stay home and take care of them.

I was thinking that too.....truly unimaginable. :'(

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I hate to speculate. But I've got a bad feeling on what MIGHT'VE happened if what was reported about Nancy and Daniel coughing up blood causing Benoit to stay home and take care of them.

Yeah, same.

Don't forget they were only FOUND today, any stories saying if he called them Sunday to say he was no-showing or not?

I checked Wiki (fountain of accurate info that it is) staright away. Didn't mention this as a work on there earlier.

And why would they kill him off?

Why the fuck are so many retards checking wikipedia, anyway?

[Corkscrewed]

In 45 minutes, we find out for sure. If Vince walks on stage, a lot of people are gonna lose it.

[Kane Knight]

Guys... it's only been an hour since this news broke. Even the internet has its limit on speed of report.

I've check the sites too, and we'll see what's going on.


Although, yeah, I'm holding onto a shread of hope that this is all a work. Still a shread...

Yeah, it took a couple hours for Eddie news to pop up, as Sascha and I were discussing just now.

It's just...Fuck this is bad timing.

[XL]

Why the fuck are so many retards checking wikipedia, anyway?
Even the death of a man and his family can't stop KK's insults. FFS.

[James Steele]

I am feeling a lot like I did when Eddie died. I don't understand how I am so attached to a guy I never met. I have only seen him live once. I have been a Benoit mark since I was a little kid watching WCW with my dad.

[addy2hotty]

In 45 minutes, we find out for sure. If Vince walks on stage, a lot of people are gonna lose it.

If it is true, then in 40 minutes we find out for sure what sort of man Vince is.

I hope and pray that he does.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I hate to speculate. But I've got a bad feeling on what MIGHT'VE happened if what was reported about Nancy and Daniel coughing up blood causing Benoit to stay home and take care of them.

I got the same feeling. I hope it isn't so. I feel like an ass speculating on how someone should die when taken too early, though, it was too damn early for all of them.

And it doesn't make sense for this to be an angle, Val. Now that I'm thinking a bit more clearly, I'm almost certain this isn't a work. It wouldn't make sense. The WWE are reporting Benoit was "found dead." You can't be "found dead" and then come back as a wrestler, all Undertaker jokes aside. If they've killed off Benoit, we'd never see him on WWE TV, again. The WWE haven't even fully come out and said Vince McMahon is dead, because it's something you can't really come back from. The WWE would be reporting Benoit in critical condition, or something, if it were a work.

[Savio]

The only way I could see him and his whole family dying is if there was food poisoning (besides foul play from a family member).
-------------------------------------
R.I.P. Benoit you will be missed

[#BROKEN Hasney]

In 45 minutes, we find out for sure. If Vince walks on stage, a lot of people are gonna lose it.

I don't think so. If Vince led the thing, I think people would appreciate the fact that his death was an angle and this is real. Yeah, it would kill off the Vince=Dead angle but this is a lot more important.

[Gerard]

Last lot of years for wrestling as a whole a lot of big names have passed on. Reading that on wwe.com i just felt numb, i mean last night at the ppv i remember them saying benoit had to go home because of family issues or something along those lines...but christ whoever expected this?



:'(

[Mr. Nerfect]

This is just wrong. It shouldn't happen like this. Benoit was one of those guys that I expected to see sitting in the front row of RAW until he was in his nineties, and coming out on stage with a walking stick for special ceremonies.

As for other guys this must be really hurting, besides those who are known to be close to Benoit (Rey Mysterio, Chavo Guerrero, William Regal and Dean Malenko), you can't overlook MVP, who was a huge fan of Benoit, and even trained under the guy for a while.

[Dorkchop]

It's a weird coincidence that both Chris Benoit, and his best friend Eddie Guerrero, both passed away when they were scheduled to win their second world title in WWE.

Just a coincidence. I really wish this was a sick storyline in WWE, but it's not. I'm not looking forward to the fucktards trying to say this is a work (like they did with Eddie).

[KingofOldSchool]

Well it's being reported now on one of the Atlanta new station websites.

[IC Champion]

R.I.P Chris Benoit.

I myself will burn down Titan Towers should they even think about exploiting this man legacy.

[St. Jimmy]

My god, this is insane. I don't know what to say.

[Ninti the Mad]

DAMN, this is a real low point in wrestling.

RIP Benoit... lost an incredible wrestler and the knowledge he could've passed on wrestling is irreplaceable.

[LK]

I am sitting here right now, watching this show just completly shocked by this. Really don't know what to say about it right now.

RIP Chris Benoit.

[ClockShot]

Out of all the wrestling sites on the net. This must have been the hardest hit. Took me a while just to get in here and finally make a post after the site crashed. Every other site was easy to get into.

With that out of the way. A few tidbits have come to light. This is making it's way around the major news networks and sites.

Atlanta P.D. is treating this as a homicide right now. However, no gun has been used.

Autopsy results should be out around tuesday.

R.I.P. Chris Benoit. You were one of the best in the business who always went out of his way to give a good show. Forever you'll be missed. :'(

[Splaya]

Room name RIP Crippler for AIM. Just come and talk with me there guys

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Didn't even know until I turned on Raw.

FUCK!

RIP. :(

[Innovator]

My favorite wrestler is dead. The guy who kept me a fan for so long is gone.

Watching him and Angle from the Royal Rumble live was amazing and the best match I've ever seen in person. You could tell he gave everything just to entertain fans. RIP Benoit, I'm sure gonna miss you.

[Londoner]

This site also frustrtaingly crashed for me been dying to post. I literally woke up at 1am expecting to see the Mcmahon tribute and found out Benoit and his family were dead. Can't believe it. Why has this happened i wonder?? With eddie you could understand, but Benoit AND his family??? RIP.

[Corndad]

Wow. I was at work and heard the news in an email.

I just felt numb. I had to just stop what I was doing.

Wow is it gonna be tough when they show the end of WM 20 tonight on Raw with Eddie and him standing there hugging each other at the end.

RIP Benoit.

[Zeeboe]

I guess I was wrong. It wasn't fake. I guess I just didn't wanna believe it was real.

[lort]

I'm still in shock, I feel for his friends and his family. It's just a complete tragedy. He was a fantastic wrestler and really will be missed.

I have to hand it to Vince, he did the right thing by standing in the ring.

RIP Chris Benoit.

[Corkscrewed]

Why are the best always taken away from us too soon?

Maybe it's because extraordinary people make their mark immediately, and once they have delivered their service to this world, there is nothing else but to have them recalled back to the next.

But Dean Malenko said it best. At least right now, Benoit and Eddie are putting on a wrestling show for the ages, high up in the heavens.

[Londoner]

^ Thing is corkscrewed its not just Benoit, but his family to! Its insane. Benoit was one of the wrestlers keeping me interested.

[KingofOldSchool]

I think Punk, Dean, Chavo, and now Edge gave great speechs.

[Splaya]

U know, I don't know what to say. Part of me wants that if this is a homicide, for that person to be fried for what they did. Part of me wants it to be carbon monoxide poisoning.


All of me wants the Crippler back

[Splaya]

Regal had a great one too

[Loose Cannon]

I can't belive this at all

[KingofOldSchool]

Man this is too hard.

[Corkscrewed]

^ Thing is corkscrewed its not just Benoit, but his family to! Its insane. Benoit was one of the wrestlers keeping me interested.

I know. Read my comments on the first few pages when this story was first breaking. That was what stood out at the very beginning... that it was Benoit and his family. Just so shady and shocking.

Initially, my responses generally settled on "WHAT THE FUCK???" and "WHAT THE FUCK????"

Although if they can have autopsy results by tomorrow (that's fast), something tells me we're bound to hear more unpleasant news.

[ClockShot]

Tough to watch right now.

Tomorrow is only going to be worse.

[Londoner]

Good speech by Edge. Im lost tbh.

[McLegend]

Fuck this

[Zeeboe]

Fuck you Val Venis!

None of us know if this is a work or not, including you.

Who the fuck are you to take something that could not be anymore serious and turn it into an "I told you so"/joke.

If you're looking to get your neg rep up, try another thread you prick.

I'm not trying to change the subject or start a fight but I just wanna make it clear that for the record I wasn't trying to be an asshole. I'd never make a joke out of this. I respect Benoit just as much as anyone else here and given all the nonsense that has been going on with McMahon and the "death" angle lately, how could I not be a little bit skeptical?

[owenbrown]

I can't believe it... I woke up 25 minutes into Raw and switched it over to USA and saw "Remembering Chris Benoit" and immediately said WHAT?! NO WAY! I am at a loss... I just looked earlier and saw that WSB-TV, WXIA and WAGA in Atlanta are all reporting his death. R.I.P. Benoit and family. :'(

[KingofOldSchool]

You know something kind've ironic?

Eddie's last match was against an up and comer in Mr. Kennedy

Benoit's last TV match was against another up and comer in Elijah Burke and was scheduled to face another up and comer in CM Punk last night.

But it's still a bitter pill to swallow.

[Zeeboe]

Benoit sounded like a kid when he talked about Diatomite Kid. :) He was just a fan like all of us.

[NeanderCarl]

I didn't know until I turned on Raw (and only NOW have I been able to come on TPWW)

Two words: fucked up.

R.I.P., "Crippler": one of the best pure in-ring performers, arguably THE best, of all time.

[311]

I'm not even sure what to say about this. Chris Benoit is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time, and I've seen a good majority of his matches. Anyone who had read anything about him, or watched anything about him, knows what a great human being he was. The thought of this being a homicide is absolutely sickening. I'm absolutely in shock.

Rest in peace, Benoit family.

This is hitting me harder than Eddie's, and I hate to say that, but it's true. Forget about WWE works, forget about McMahon, forget about Vengence...this is an absolutely tragedy.

The man was an icon, inside and ourside of the ring. I'm not sure I could say anything else without rambling.

The man and his entire family. It's sickening, saddening, and horrific. I hope they find whoever did this, and find him quickly. He doesn't deserve another minute free.

[LK]

Watching Edge's testimonial there was hard.

I just can't imagine how hurt so many people must be right now. Malenko, Regal, Kurt Angle, Jericho to name a few.

Just as I type that I can see JBL hurting as well.

I still really don't know how to respond to the news. Like many I turned Raw on expecting the McMahon angle and I saw the video of him winning at WM 20. Remembering hearing that he had flown home for a family emergency, I thought that maybe something had happened with his family and he had retired. Then that message "In Memory of Chris Benoit - 1967 - 2007" appeared and it took a moment to figure out what it meant.

I still just cannot believe this.

[Londoner]

Regal was right when he said " Benoit was the absolute best".

[mrslackalack]

I'm heartbroken.

[Corkscrewed]

Yeah, James Steele and I were discussing how you could make a sort of "Abraham Lincoln/JFK Similarities" sort of list between Benoit and Guerrero.

[OssMan]

Remember when Mitch Hedberg died on April Fools day and it was the most ironic thing ever, dont really think this would be a joke

[V]

awful, awful news. great wrestler and a sad loss. R.I.P. Benoit and family.

[NeanderCarl]

According to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution, this is now being treated as a "murder-suicide".

[ClockShot]

There he is.

[mrslackalack]

I wish this was a nightmare. Wrestling has truly lost one of its greatest performers and people ever.

[Skippord]

Sounded like Edge was crushed

[Londoner]

I want to know how the fuck this happened, just can't understand. This match will be tough to watch. :(

[KingofOldSchool]

This is hitting me harder than Eddie's, and I hate to say that, but it's true. Forget about WWE works, forget about McMahon, forget about Vengence...this is an absolutely tragedy.


This hit me harder than Eddie's simply because it was not just him but his wife and young son.

I was a bigger fan of Eddie's than Benoit's, I admit it.

However the fact that Benoit and his family died is the biggest shock factor in this, because that's something I don't think has ever happened in pro wrestling.

[mrslackalack]

Id say ECW and Smackdown will either be tribute shows/clips with more guys talking about their Benoit memories.

[CYCLOPTERSAURUS]

This is really hard to believe, and it's not really sinking in yet. Benoit was one of the few wrestlers that kept me interested, along with Eddie, Jericho, and some others. When I first started watching wrestling, Benoit was one of the few people in WCW that I wanted to watch, and when he jumped ship with the Radicals, it was one of the biggest markout moments in wrestling for me. When he won the title at WM and celebrated with Eddie it was probably THE biggest markout moment in wrestling for me. He put on some of the best matches ever. His family too? it's insane. I'm not sure I want to know what happened. Somehow this doesn't feel real, even less real than with Eddie.

I will say that as crazy as Vince is, he's handled this really well. I was worried he wouldn't even be on the show and they would keep the death angle running.

[BobBitchen]

Oh it's true. Damn true.

Pro wrestler, family found dead in Fayetteville home

By Saeed Ahmed, Kathy Jefcoats
The Atlanta-Journal Constitution

Published on: 06/25/07

A well-known professional wrestler and his family were found dead inside their house in Fayette County Monday afternoon.

Authorities confirmed that Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and their 7-year-old son, Daniel, were found dead at the home on Quarters and Redwine roads in Fayetteville about 4 p.m.



Officials were investigating the deaths as a murder-suicide.

Benoit, a 40-year-old Canadian native maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the now-defunct World Championship Wrestling.

Most recently, Benoit fought as part of the World Wrestling Entertainment organization. WWE canceled its live show in Corpus Christi Monday night, and its broadcast of "Raw" on the USA Network was a three-hour retrospective on Benoit's career.

"Obviously, all sorts of speculation are running rampant but I have talked to so many people and nobody really knows [whether the couple was having marital troubles]," said Bryan Alvarez, who runs Figurefour Weekly, a wrestling newsletter and Web site, from Linwood, Washington.

Benoit was scheduled to appear in a pay-per-view title match Sunday night, but was a no-show due to a "family emergency," the WWE said during the broadcast.

Benoit's wife, Nancy, managed several wrestlers and went by the stage name, "Woman."

They met when her then-husband drew up a script that had them involved in a relationship as part of an ongoing storyline on World Championship Wrestling.

Soon after, the two became romantically involved in real life and married, Alvarez said.

Benoit has two other children from a prior relationship.

[Reavant]

is there any reports on what happened?....were the deaths violent? I know that carbon monoxide poisoning can wipe out an entire family in a house, but I dont think it makes you cough up blood.

[mrslackalack]

Yeah I mean his wife and young son died as well, and he has 2 other kids and his parents and sister. Has WWE ever canceled an event like this other than 9/11?

[Corkscrewed]

oly shit...

I hope this is just speculation even on the news side, but...

[311]

If anyone has a live feed for RAW, it would be appreciated.

I'm in the U.K. at the moment and don't even know where to find it on the television.

[mrslackalack]

Nope, I have read that you dont cough up blood from CO2 its known as the silent killer.

[Corkscrewed]

'k, I was late with my post. lol

[Londoner]

311- check sky sports 3

[mrslackalack]

I find it chilling that when their is an active roster death. (Pillman, Owen, Eddie, Benoit) that it happens on Sunday or Monday.

[NeanderCarl]

If anyone has a live feed for RAW, it would be appreciated.

I'm in the U.K. at the moment and don't even know where to find it on the television.

Sky Sports 3 (Channel 403 on Sky TV)

[Reavant]

i know certain types of mold can cause reactions like coughing up blood and so can the poison that termites emit from their bodies when they are in large amounts living in the wall of a home.

[6to1]

According to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution, this is now being treated as a "murder-suicide".
yea we may have another phill hartman, this will be sadder then eddies death

[NeanderCarl]

I find it chilling that when their is an active roster death. (Pillman, Owen, Eddie, Benoit) that it happens on Sunday or Monday.

I did think of that earlier. However, nobody knows when the Benoits died, could have been Saturday. Just saying.

It always seems to be on the day of a PPV or TV taping.

[Reavant]

also he might have just killed himself after either finding his wife and child dead or after they died from the illness

[mrslackalack]

I recommend every1 that dont own it to buy Benoits DVD. Wal-Mart has it for only 5-6 bucks now I believe. Its an incredible doc with some amazing matches on it. I am still stunned over this and it will take me quite a while to get over this and I will never forget Benoit.

[Londoner]

How weird, an advert for a game just said ' the nightmare just got real'..freaky.

[Linkbowler]

This is just wrong. One of the greatest of all time is no longer here.

Man. This sucks.

RIP Benoit.

[ClockShot]

Gas leak could do it.

Also. ESPN and most news channels and sites have caught on to this.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I really, truly, can't believe this. :(

His victory at WM20 will always be one of my top moments ever of watching wrestling.

You will be missed, Chris Benoit. My condolences go out to the remaining members of the Benoit family.</font> :(

[The Naitch]

wow this is how I heard of the news:

I was walking home from the liquor store, with some new shades on, drinking a beer, then my friend (who thinks wrestling is gay, and he makes fun of me for liking wrestling) texts me to call him. I call him and then he asks me if I knew a wrestler names Chris Veno. Obviously he meant 'Benoit' and I corrected him. He said he was shot dead

I was a bit buzzed walking home and I still can't believe this has happened

Then I go on the computer and found out that there were no gunshots and his wife and son are also dead. Wow. This is just as big as Owen's death because of the speculation and mystery

Biggest wrestling headline of 2007

RIP Chris Benoit :(

[mrslackalack]

Benoit def is a 08 HOF

[owenbrown]

The Journal-Constitution maybe reporting a possible murder-suicide... but WXIA and WAGA-TV are saying police are investigating as a homicide... so right now we don't know which is true.

[mrslackalack]

Yeah, it def is the biggest headline of 07, a tragic year for wrestling deaths. (Benoit, Sherri, Ladd, Bad News, Biff, Bam Bam, Awesome, etc) and the year is only half over.

[The Naitch]

this is fucking crazy

[Londoner]

Seems like there's a death every week or two.

[RawRocks]

http://www.caller.com/news/2007/jun/25/wwe-cancels-show-american-bank-center/

[mrslackalack]

The scary part is when Boone reported last night the family emergency. I posted that I hope everything is ok for the Benoit family.

[KingofOldSchool]

The Journal-Constitution maybe reporting a possible murder-suicide... but WXIA and WAGA-TV are saying police are investigating as a homicide... so right now we don't know which is true.

I hope to the higher power that it was a homicide and not a murder-suicide because that would mean that Benoit could've killed Nacy and his son.

And there is no way hell Benoit would do such a thing.

[FourFifty]

Chris Benoit was the wrestler that every wrestling fan liked. He could make anyone look like a million dollars. He was the bench mark that told you if the wrestler he was facing that night was any good or not. He could go hold for hold with the best of them. No, I'm not just saying that because he's no longer with us. I've been saying this for at least three years now.


Wathing Raw right now... He made JBL look like a great wrestler, he went hold for hold with Malenko, he made a rookie Burke look like a threat, and all in all one of the best mat wrestlers.

Rest in peace Chris, Nancy, and Daniel.... :wavesad:

[mrslackalack]

. Tommy Pope told the Associated Press that it was being investigated as a homicide pending results of a preliminary autopsy report that will come out tomorrow. No gunshot or stab wounds were found, but they couldn't rule out poisoning, suffocation or strangulation. Pope said he was not confirming any of these potential causes, just not ruling them out.

From WO

[mrslackalack]

Never seen that Hog Wild match before and I loved it, I am suprised it wasnt on Benoits DVD.

[mrslackalack]

Its one of Yahoos top headlines right now

[ClockShot]

Conflicting reports are going around right now. This one sent a shiver down my spine.

Pro wrestler Chris Benoit (http://javascript<b></b>:siteSearch('Chris Benoit');), his wife and 7-year-old son were found slain Monday at their Fayetteville home, authorities said.

Detective Bo Turner told television station WAGA that the case was being investigated as a murder-suicide, but said that could not be confirmed until the evidence was examined by a crime lab.

WAGA reported that investigators believe Benoit killed his wife and son over the weekend, and then himself sometime Monday.

A concerned neighbor called police. The bodies were found in three different rooms.

The lead investigator, Sheriff's Lt. Tommy Pope, told The Associated Press that the deaths were being investigated as homicide, and said the cause of death awaited autopsy results on Tuesday.

Pope said the three were found about 2:30 p.m., but he would release no other details about the deaths at the house in a subdivision near White Water Country Club.

World Wrestling Entertainment said on its Web site that Benoit, 40, his wife, Nancy, and son, who was named Daniel, were found dead, but also had no other details.

From foxnews.com

[Xero]

According to ABC (http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/Story?id=3315501&page=1) "the instruments of death were located on scene," so I guess they have a general idea of what happened.

[NeanderCarl]

shit!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070626/ap_on_re_us/wrestler_dead

[Corndad]

This moment was amazing. Eddie and Benoit in the ring. Amazing.

[NeanderCarl]

why would he do that?? i know it's only speculation, but what motive would he have?

[Londoner]

Torn while watching this.

[mrslackalack]

Was Benoit supposed to win the ECW title Sunday?

[Bad Company]

I'm shocked, a real loss for pro wrestling. RIP Benoit and Family.

[mrslackalack]

Yeah if it is a homicide and Benoit did it. This will def be one of top news stories out there for a while on what happened?

[NeanderCarl]

WWE.com is confirming the double-murder/suicide report.

[ShakeZula]

Benoit did it...

www.wwe.com

[mrslackalack]

Never in a a zillion years thought something like this would happen to a guy like Benoit

[Dorkchop]

I know there's a chance that it happened, but it's hard to believe a guy like Benoit would do something like that.... based on what people have said about him. Not just not, but well before he died. He seemed like a quiet, decent, human being. He's so well respected.

[Xero]

Wow, if Benoit did it then I don't know what to think.

[NeanderCarl]

I know it's hard to believe, and tough to take in, but it looks as though Benoit may have killed his wife and child. That's going to put him in an entirely different light.

Of course, you can't rule out Nancy as the killer.

But most news outlets are running with the double-murder/suicide right now.

[311]

I am having a 'really' hard time believing that.

I'm even more ill than before.
