I've been stunned here for the last hour+ since finding out. Just terrible. Not just humongous grief but huge confusion surrounds this.

Benoit missed the WWE Vengeance PayPerView on Sunday because of what were announced as personal issues concerning his family and now a day later this horror comes up.

But it is not for me speculate. One of historys greatest pro wrestlers has passed on and he will be deeply missed, though not forgotten.

I trust that Benoit and Eddie Guerrero are grappling it up somewhere far beyond. Thank you for the memories and reasons to love pro wrestling.

May Chris and his family have peace.

So, taking bets: he killed them and then himself? Gas leak? Burglary-gone-wrong?

A fantastic performer indeed. He will be missed. RIP Chris Benoit and family. Does anyone think that the "passing away" of Mcmahon is a gimmick? I think he is very much alive and kicking.

As for Mcmahon, yes, it was a total gimmick. The Benoit-tribute RAW that should be running in the States as we speak had Vince come out and explain that the death-story concerning his character was scripted and should be forgotten. The purpose of the show now was to honor Chris Benoit. A class act by Vince, who has gotten his share of dirt from wrestling fans over the years.

Sheesh, I'm still just numbed. Just like when Eddie died a little under two years ago. I'm sure many can't understand why to take the passing of a wrestler so seriously, but that's how serious the passion for this sport can get.

While personally hoping that betting wouldn't be included in this tragedy, it has been confirmed by authorities that the victims were not shot. Otherwise, no details have arisen.

One of my friends is a fairly big wrestling fan, and Benoit is one of his favourite wrestlers. I quite liked him too. R.I.P.

Benoit was great, looking back at some of the shit he pulled off, i can almost feel the pain myself.

RIP

Actually... fuck this Benoit guy. What he did is abominable and unforgivable. There's no justification for something like this, what the fuck!

Quote:
The station said investigators believe the 40-year-old Benoit killed his wife, Nancy, and 7-year-old son, Daniel, over the weekend, then himself on Monday. The bodies were found in three rooms.

Sources in the Fayette County Police Department are now working under the theory that Chris Benoit killed Nancy on Saturday, son Daniel on Sunday, and then killed himself earlier today.


If that's true he doesn't even have the "excuse" of a rage impulse. I have a feeling this will prove to be a very bizarre case.

Yeah, the police have already said that the details are very bizarre. Which coming from Law Enforcement, who see all kinds of crazy shit, this roller coaster ride is just beginning.

Apparently he went home because his wife Nacy called him and said that his son Daniel was vomiting blood. It's possible Nancy killed the son, and then Benoit offed her in return, and then killed himself. Ahhhhh, it's just so fucking tragic no matter how you look at it. He was my favorite wrestler too. I don't think I can even watch it anymore.

That's fucked. I don't watch wrestling anymore, but Benoit always used to be my ultimate "love to hate" character. This is possibly the most bizarre death in wrestling history.

Preliminary reports state tha he strangled the wife on Saturday, smothered the son on Sunday, hung out with the bodies, texted friends to tell them goodbye on Sunday evening, and hung himself in the weight room on Monday. WWE.com is currently erasing his very existence from the site as we speak.

Hmm, wow. I really want to hear the final/accurate story before I pass final judgment, but it does seem pretty fucked.
