:( RIP Benoit
He was one of my favourite wrestlers! When I used to watch it that is.
[quote=ProWrestling.com] As reported moments ago former WWE and WCW champion Chris Benoit and his wife, former WCW and ECW personality Nancy “Women” Benoit were both found dead today in Atlanta, Georgia. The couple has two children but it has not yet been confirmed that they were found dead also.
This is obviously a huge breaking story and we are working as hard as we can to get out news as it becomes available to us.
WWE is currently in a meeting right now as tonight’s RAW will be dedicated in Benoit’s memory.
This is a shock for the entire Internet Wrestling Community as well as the Superstars. May ***’s blessing rest upon all of us this evening.
I wonder why he was killed anyway.
Not just him but his family. Pretty sick ****.
He has 2 kids?
Cuz on raw they only show him his wife and one kid
I no longer have any reason to watch WWE anymore.
****IT TO HELL!!! :(
One of the best wrestler's ever, and his wife(and possibly kids) just died!!!
WTF HAPPENED?
I just found out. My brother tuned to raw and noticed a sign on the bottom of the screen. ****. This sucks.
it is being investigated as a homicide.
His son was found dead, not sure about the second one.
That's just unbelievable.
What the **** happened? Not only him but his whole family? Completely unexpected...
So, do you think this was a targeted murder?
Inside the home, famous, whole family? I'd say so.
Latest reports have it at a double-murder suicide
which blows my mind
As in Benoit killed his family? I can't believe that...
Neither can I.
Rumors have it from tests so far that picture him killing them on the weekend, and then himself early monday.
should be an interesting few days once the autopsy gets out

I just read up on that. I just can't see Benoit killing his wife and son, and then himself. Does Benoit have 2 kids?
Yeah, so wonder what happened to the other kid.
I guess they only found the 3 bodies, so maybe the other kid could still be alive.
why are all WWE wrestlers dying? :(
:s people die.
I watched RAW for like 5 minutes before I even had a clue what was going on. Then again, I wasn't really paying attention; just had it on while I was moving stuff around. The show was supposed to a tribute to Vince's whole limo blowing up thing, but apparently they threw all that out after this happened. It's sad, Benoit was one of my favorite wrestlers, and I have very few. :(
As for it being double-murder/suicide, I refuse to believe that. I can't think of a single possible motive the guy would have had to do that. Autopsies are Thursday I think. Hopefully that gives answers.
roid rage kicked in....
anyone remember when stone cold broke into brian pillmans house?? hint hint

X, that was absolutely tasteless. Frankly, i'm shocked!!!
...or not lol.
He didn't even go out with a bang like Eddie. Jeez. :(

Killing your family isn't enough?
JEEZ YOUR STANDARDS ARE HIGH :mad:
didn't eddie die while brushing his teeth or something
[quote=netman;611567]didn't eddie die while brushing his teeth or something
Yup. He was found on the floor with the toothbrush in his mouth. But he died of acute heart failure.
I just found out that Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son, and then hung himself. Wow I can't believe this happened. [URL="http://blogs.usatoday.com/sportsscope/2007/06/benoit-tragedy.html?csp=34"]More info[/URL]
WHO'S NEXT?
[quote=Arcadios;611646][COLOR=gold][SIZE=+10]WHO'S NEXT?[/SIZE][/COLOR]
Hopefully John Cena.
lol goldberg reference
But yea, I haven't been keeping up with WWE as of late but I dislike John Cena.
John Cena was a much better heel, since he was so easy to hate! But I can't believe Benoit did what he supposedly did :(
wtf set him off to that point? Stress, drugs, or what?

here is an update with the absolute latest info
I hate these types of things because you never know who did what and why. At least if someone else killed them all the police could catch them and get the truth out of them. We'll never know for sure what happened and that sucks.
WWE forums were raided. I kinda lol'd.
If only they made some sort of public service announcement about smothering your children...OH WAIT...

I just liked RAW last night for Vince saying "the storyline was supposed to be about my character's death" because after watching wrestling for most of my life... that's just ****ed up to hear. I can't remember the last time they openly talked about "storylines" or "characters" even though everyone knows it's all just a TV show.
Yeah, this isn't some sort of conspiracy. It's weird to believe, but **** happens, people snap.
So Vince came out on RAW. Talk about a wasted couple weeks.
I'm not real sure why everyone is so suprised. We knew Chris Benoit as the "Canadian Crippler", not as the real Benoit. Vince proves that by acting dead for a couple weeks and then getting on TV and talking about it after he heard of this. The people we see on RAW are CHARACTERS. We have no clue what Benoit was like outside the ring. For all we know he is a drunken pedo. I too liked Chris Benoit and would like to think he wouldn't do something like this, but, who knows. There doesn't seem to be any evidence he didn't do it.
I guess we will know more in the coming weeks, I'm personnaly interested to see what was in his system at the time. Prolly a little roid ragin'.
wait...wrestling is fake? :eek:
I heard today on PTI that he was injecting his 7 year old with steroids. Dude was obviously deranged.

Web Time Stamps Indicate Nancy Benoit's Death Reported on Web at Least 13 Hours Before Police Found Bodies in Her Home

THE PLOT THICKENS
So the question is who in the WWE knew about the murders before the police did? If Benoit was in Georgia it obviously wasn't him. He either told someone after she died and that person decided to Wiki it without telling police or a third party was involved. :(
...Or Benoit has a router to Connecticut.
Now I'm starting to believe it was a set up or something. Like someone was crafty enough to make it look like a murder/suicide. Unless someone helped him.
[quote=Elric;612364]I heard today on PTI that he was injecting his 7 year old with steroids. Dude was obviously deranged.
How much? Because some people have to take steroids for medical reasons.
I'm not sure, they just said that tracks were found on the little boy.
The little boy was apparently born with a hormone deficiency or mental disorder. My guess is that the track marks were from hormone injections.
Daniel had Fragile X Syndrome a form of mental retardation and nobody knew about it outside of the immediate family, the week leading up to the murders Chris and Nancy were arguing over care for Daniel and where to send him to school and Nancy wanted chris to stay home more. The tracks were from growth hormones as they thought Daniel was undersized.
Nope, nuh-uh. It's steroids because it was ROID RAGE, and Beniot wanted father like son!

Here is a photo of Chris Benoit taken at his doctors office by a fan just hours before he wen't home and brutally murdered his family.
Chris Benoit Crippler crossfaced hs wife and son, and then himself.
[quote=clearlytheman;613362]all that was ever said was he bound Nancies hands and feet and strangled her with a chord. As for daniel he was strangled in his bed perhaps with a wrestling hold that is unknown for sure.
Hahahaha, oh wow.
I actually found a very touching tribute to Chris on youtube. Goodnight, sweet prince.

The DEA has raided Chris Benoits doctors office for a second time and his mothers and are on their way to a third location, gee I wonder if they think the doctor is somewhat responsible.
WAIT, he ****ing killed his family with a submission move? Oh Jesus, he is now my hero. That's the most badass thing I've heard all year.
He wanted to play wrestling with his family.
[quote]all that was ever said was he bound Nancies hands and feet and strangled her with a chord. As for daniel he was strangled in his bed perhaps with a wrestling hold that is unknown for sure.
Oh lawd, He should go down in the WWE Hall of Fame for that.
They'll put him in the WWE Hall of Fame. Guaranteed. He'll probably also be on WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2008 as a Legend.
only in the wwe could you murder your family and still be loved by all your fans.
It was a triple threat last man standing match.
[quote=Panic;614219]They'll put him in the WWE Hall of Fame. Guaranteed. He'll probably also be on WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2008 as a Legend.
I highly doubt it. Since the WWE does not want anything to do with him. he's nowhere to be seen on WWE.com. Plus after hearing the details of the deaths McMahon did not want to speak of Benoit. There still may be a chance for him on the next WWE SD game as a legend, but it's highly unlikely.
I guess we'll just see when it comes out. I mean, personally I wouldn't put him in the Hall of Fame or the game, period. Whether it be as a legend or a normal wrestler. That's just my opinion.
His finisher should be jumping into the crowd and putting the crossface on a little kid.
The only thing worse than a dead wrestler, is an alive one.
And the only thing worse than an alive wrestler is an UNDEAD WRESTLER.
Where do bad people go when they die,
they don't go to heaven where the angels fly,
they go to a lake of fire and fry,
see em again on the 4th of July.
They go into a hole in the ground, just like good people.
