Couldn't believe it... Just got done checking my news for the day on google.  Read the article and kind of half passed it off since every article basically got a quote from the wwe website.  But more reports are stating Vince McMahon came out on live TV to announce it wasn't fake and are doing a whole special for him tonight.

Unbelievable.  I'm shocked.  I remember watching some old Japanese tapes of the Pegasus Kid... Thought he was great over in Japan.  I wonder if they're gonna drop that whole Vince is dead storyline now.

That's a shame. I'm curious what the whole story is though. Obviously something was up, since he missed his show in Houston due to a "family emergency", then him and his whole family end up dead.

Such a terrible event. I also want to find out what's going on with this. At first I just thought it was him, but it's not only Chris, but his family. Nah,  somthing isn't right. I hope the police can dig up some more infomation on this.  Bad news indeed.

SportsIllustrated.com is saying its been deemed a homicide, which means somebody other than the people found dead did it, so a murder-suicide is ruled out. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/more/06/25/wrestler.dead.ap/index.html?cnn=yes

Actually you kind of read the article wrong.  Which after reading this makes me feel totally blehhhhh... They're saying it looks like it is a murder / suicide and that the investigation will be treated as a homicide.

The more I'm reading about this, the more I don't want to know.

It's very tragic...I hope that it doesn't turn out to be a murder/suicide...Benoit always seemed like one of the more down to earth kind of people in the Pro Wrestling world.

I hope it's not a murder/suicide. And his 7 year old son too? Well damn. @@ That sucks ass.

If it is murder, I hope they catch who ever did it.

Well, its always the people you never expect. Also from what I understand, Benoit had not been showing up for doctor visits for some unknown reason over the past few weeks, given the event, im going to say because of mental instability.

I was preety fucking pissed off sunday night when he wasnt there to fight CM Punk, and it was really the only match I ordered the PPV for. But I guess killing your family and throwing your carear, fans, money, fame, and friends away takes priority over showing up for work.

It seems like a large number of the pro wrestlers I watched as a kid meet with unfortunate ends. I hope this isn't a murder suicide, Benoit always seemed, I don't know, more sane than the others?

Still, the string of deaths/health meltdowns/legal woes keeps getting larger.

The hammer will fall on this one, this happened right in the middle of the "Mr. McMahon is dead" skit theyve had going on for weeks. I cant believe he had the balls to address the issue personally live at the top of the show.

I haven't followed wrestling in a long time, what exactly have they been up to with the McMahon is dead thing?

I think autopsy results are expected Tuesday. Maybe we'll know more in a few hours.

I haven't been watching, but basically, for the last couple of weeks they've had all this "McMahon is dead memorial" stuff going on...supposedly he got blown up in his limmo on the way home from the show or something.  I didn't know that McMahon came onto the show and talked about it though, at least he realizes that some things are more important than a stupid plot line.

The late Sherri Martell just died and now Chris Benoit?  Damn, that sucks.  

There's been several rumors and reports.  Here are two i've read so far.

• Chris Benoit's wife killed their son by suffocating him with a plastic bag.  Chris Benoit then killed his wife, and hung himself.
• Chris Benoit killed both his wife and son, then himself.

I can see it now, someone paid a fortune for cable TV and after seeing how shitty WWE is went over to Benoits house with an axe. On breaking through the door Benoit fought valiantly giving a few "I've been banging your wife!" slurs as his attacker pretended (badly) to act insulted. Benoit then took a fold away plastic chair and beat the guy onto the fllor then mocked him some more, with comments about how great he was and Benoits wife shouting out "INNNDDDEEEEDDDDD!" from the kitchen.

Then the attaker despite looking totally beat crawled towards the wall and draged himself up before he was counted out, he then took the axe and chopped Benoits head off and started singing "You suck, you suck" as he held aloft the head (with its startled expression) by the hair. He then proceeded to finish of the rest of the family.

Now that's the story I read in a British newspaper called the Sunday Sport, I'm not certain it's true but it's more believable than 99.9% of WWE wrestling matches!

As a wrestling fan and a human being, I find your post truly pathetic.

A law enforcement official close to the investigation tells The Associated Press that pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son before hanging himself in the weight room of the family's suburban Atlanta home.

I'm speechless.

That can't be. IS that really how it all went down?

According to the investigation it seems to be all too true. As I've said on another forum, I'll always respect the sacrifices he made in the ring, but as a person his image has been forever tainted and I'm not sure I'll be able to look at a Chris Benoit match/interview the same way again.

This whole thing is just so surreal.

Couldn't believe it, I'm from Calgary and as you might know certain people in the industry that have connections to Calgary and the Hart family seem to have a lot of bad falls, no pun intended, R.I.P. Owen.  Davey Boy and now Chris, crazy crazy stuff.
