I didn’t know if I was the only wrestling fan here or not, so I thought I would post this. WWE wrestler Chris Benoit and his wife and son were all found dead in their Atlanta, Georgia home, the victims of a double murder suicide. He was 40. Here is the story: http://news.sympatico.msn.ctv.ca/TopStories/ContentPosting.aspx?feedname=CTV-TOPSTORIES_V2&showbyline=True&newsitemid=CTVNews%2f20070625%2fchris_benoit_070626
I gotta say, that was such a shock to hear. I was at the Air Canada Center just THREE WEEKS AGO to see WWE and he was one of my favourites until I heard about this.

Dont ya like him now that he’s been murdered? Are you guilty? :lol:
Herman – Chris wasn’t murdered. From the latest reports I’ve heard on Sky Sports News, he strangled his wife and smothered his son. He then took his own life the next day by hanging himself, they reckon it could’ve been ‘roid rage’ that made him snap. Seemingly he had been sending strange text messages as well which caused some concern and in the name of good taste, you can find those messages online.
Initially I didn’t believe it, not just cos it sounded so unreal. Considering that WWE have been trying to convince us that Vince is dead I thought this was a sick twist in the story and it was going to transpire that Chris faked his death and that of his wife and son as he was responsible for the limo explosion (I wouldn’t put it past them, remember the storyline where Kane raped a girl as she was either dead or dying? Despite the fact that he had spent his life in hiding. That was hardly in good taste)
It’s strange hearing the messages on Sky Sports News ‘It’s a shame. He’ll be sorely missed. He killed his wife and seven year old son, perhaps that’s a bigger issue’ Wait, I think I made that last one up.
Didnt know that Jonny Boy. He deserves to go to hell then :evil:
(I only half read long posts, im a lazy bstard)
This is a guy who has won just about every title belt that wrestling has to offer. So what really sucks is now they’re going to make someone who murdered his wife and son into this huge icon who died well before his time. He’ll probably get into the WWE Hall of Fame next year.
It’s such a tragedy-I feel terrible for his friends and family.
I don’t think he will be in the hall of fame, not next year anyway. As much as his career merits it, the events surrounding his death would make him a very controversial choice and many would think that it would reflect badly on those who are in the hall of fame and are no longer with us.
News conference coming up soon on Sky Sports News.

I really hope you’re right about that-little kids worship these guys.[/quote]
Vince stated before ECW last night that while RAW was postponed for a Benoit tribute, that now the facts are clearer ECW would not even mention Benoit on the show (bearing in mind that Benoit is ex-ECW as well) and would instead be dedicating the show to those who have been affected by the tragedy.
Personally, I find the facts so bizarre and frankly disturbing that I still can’t actually get my head round it.
These American Wrestlers are all gay anyway. Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks would have wiped the floor with them.
