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.

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).

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
