WWE is sad to report that Chris Benoit and his family have been found dead in their home. Police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the deaths. Tonight's Raw will be a tribute to Chris and his family. --from wwe.com...

I for one think they are going to far into this (again,I checked and yes this is "fake" *it's on none of the major news sites or anything*)

If he really is dead my thoughts and prayers go to him and his family, but if he was really dead they would have a in memory of thing for him. I to agree the dead stuff is going to far. Christ Benoit is a great superstar and is really being mis-used.

OK first if he's really dead i'm very sorry to hear that he's one of my favs. But if its not its a way for chris to get out of the wwe and maybe come to tna unless he's retired. i think its fake because the wwe built it up that he's having personal problems. Its a pretty messed up storyline.

I think that the WWE has gone too far w/these whole death angles.

WWE needs to STOP THIS RIGHT NOW.

Ah you guys i was talking to alot of people and they think it could be true. Either way this is so messed up and i may feel like an idiot if its not true but actually don't think its a storyline. This is truly fracked up.

I was thinking this was merely part of the "McMahon Death storyline" he will be missed. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family&friends...

That sucks big time!

Man this situation is so messed up. First we lost a great wrestler in eddie not benoit. this is the biggest blow to wrestling since eddie died. this is a huge loss to the wwe.

The WWE has surely lost another great. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly happened so if I see/hear anything I will be sure to post.

RIP

Hey guys, I thought it was a joke, but this is 4 real.

I'm sorry to hear about Chris Benoit and his wife former WCW Manager Woman and their son Daniel.

My thoughts are with his family.

God Bless Benoit and God Bless his wife Woman.

All plans for tonights raw have been cancelled. I don't know if its still 3 hrs but it will be completly dedicated to Chris Benoit. I'll miss the guy. I won't be able to see raw but i will sure tape it tonight.

Yes, WWE will still do a LIVE 3 hr. edition of RAW tonight on USA.

rip chris the champ you will be missed

im so sorry to hear the death o a real champ benoit you will be missed a great talented athlete r.i.p. champ.

"There is nothing scripted about the very tragic circumstances that unfolded today." -this here is a quote I found from another article about Benoit and family's tragedy. They wrote this to the people that like us that thought it was scripted. This champ will be missed.

Chirs RIP

Damm this really sucks that man could rassle

Well I wasnt going to belive it when I hadnt seen it on the news and all i was seeing advertised was this Limo blow up and the commercials on that. But I did here earlier today that the show was going to be 3 hours and I knew all that lomo blow up stuff was fake and having the Fcc on there ...What a joke.

Its sad news and I did research it, cause I wasnt gong to belive anything from a wrestling site, and yep all the news is just now coming out with the story. They are all just coming in say maybe 30 minutes ago. But you cant blame people not beliving it. Wrestling fake stunts have been known to happen way to much.

Talk about a major shock!!! I haven't watched any news or anything today. Been very busy doing some remodelling while my son is out of town. We turned on Raw a little while ago, (on respective televisions to watch together), to find CM Punk sobbing giving a video tribute... Thoughts and prayers go out to all of the Benoit family, the WWE family and fans worldwide...

I never even got to know who he was.He seems to be amazing,RIP Chris!!!! OMFG!!!And Vince actually went out there?!

Well there's plenty of things that have proven it already.

1) wwe.com
2) other news sites such as PWInsider, etc.
3) newspaper or tv site (can't remember) based in Atlanta (where he lives and died)
4) sports stations putting it on their ticker

And there's probably more.

Here's an indepth story about it. They're saying Double Homicide, Suicide. No sign of gunshots, stabbing, anything obvious. They're thinking poision, strangulation, or other means. They're not looking at any other suspects other than the 3 in the house.

I couldn't belieive it when i heard it. I loved Chris Benoit...

Hey, to what DetectiveMcPDQ said above, Vince came out and said something? Is that true?

~BF~

Yeah he said that the plans were to have a memorial service for his characters death but then benoit ended up dead. God i hope it wasn't a murder suicide.

yeah he came out and said his sympathies to the benoit fmaily.

I refuse to believe that Benoit killed his family then himself untill there is undeniable evidence. I bet the new organizations said this to get people talking.

Not that i'd like to think this would happen, i'd rather think it was the wife (but really, that makes you think, what kind of person could do that?)

Edge, Triple H, and others kept saying how Respect was so important to Chris, how he'd throw guys out of the locker room for not having respect for their fellow wrestlers, or how if some young wrestler came in, thinking he was all that, Benoit would make him do 1000 sqats, then the next day, when that young guy could barely walk, he'd make him do 500 more. I'd like to think that a man with respect so high in his moral scale, if you will, wouldn't do something like that. I do however believe the police report that was on the link i gave that said it was someone in that house. As much as i hate to, i believe it.

~BF~

I agree.

R.I.P Chris Benoit you will be missed.

It just makes me sick. Wait till the abtoupsy or however the hell you spell it. fracking every dirt head new network jumps to conclusions and says its a murder homicide. He has two other kids besides daniel. I can't believe that he would do something like that and i refuse to untill there is undeniable evidence to prove the case.

It is, sadly. With the "rushing home for family illness" right before, the fact the WWE superstars have stated he was a loner, Austin kind of had this weird attitude about the whole thing as to keep it to his "in ring" legacy, the WWE didn't mention anything about the situation (unlike previous deaths), and it's already been stated it's being investigated as a homicide, with no one outside of the 3 suspects that are dead.This is a sad & bizarre situation, but all signs... :(Benoit was a legend, and one of the greatest wrestlers I had ever seen. He will be missed.

I just dont know. It could have been his wife but i'm kind of just..... like i can't grasp the situation.

yes Chris Benoit has really passed away


you can confirm this at myfoxatlanta.com and wsbtv.com both are local news stations for atlanta where chris and his family were found today ..... you can read the complete story at either place or wwe.com ... but to show its not a story line myfoxatlanta will be your best bet .....

My prayers Go Out The The Benoit Family

http://www.abcnews.go.com/Sports/Story?id=3315501&page=1

Hope that clears things up a bit...Just copy and paste it.

had to search far and wide for it, but there's (what i think is) some proof.

My thoughts and Prayers go out to the Benoit family.

Here's another article i found. Cnn.com has it in their sports thing, but here's the link. Underneath the pics of both links i've posted, It says how Benoit was scheduled to be @ the pay-per-view, but backed out for "Personal Reasons" I hate that they're implying that it was Chris. I mean, yes, it could have been, but i think it's a bit premature to be assuming anything...anyway, hope you guys find the article informative...

I WILL MISS CHRIS

Of coure he is really died wwe would never do this as a fake come on. CHRIS WILL BE MISSED THATS FOR SHORE, we all love you chris rest in peace.

Yahoo News story about Benoit's death

QUOTE

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. (AP) -- WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife and son were found dead Monday and police said they were investigating the deaths as a homicide. Lt. Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department said the three were found at their home about 2:30 p.m., but refused to release details.

This has shocked me. Truly.

I found 2 more articles that seem to think that Benoit killed his family then committed suicide,like everyone else I seem to not want to believe this.

http://www.wrestlezone.com/article.php?articleid=184834733

Okay here might be a possibility that might of happened,again I have NO Clue on this because tuesday will be the day that everything comes out *details and etc* First of all I can't believe that Chris would have killed his young son.We all know that He was called home for an emergency and missed a WWE pay per view (Vengence) this weekend, so I'm wondering if his wife hadn't flipped out and killed their son, and when Chris found out, he in turn lost it and killed her and then commited suicide. Or then again,there might of been poisioning/gassing etc...really anything besides- *gunshots,stabs* could be the factor.

All I know is that Chris Benoit and his family will be dearly missed,he not only was a wrestling great but seemed to be a well-respected guy. I will not believe this "suicide" thing until there are no other reasons in this tragedy

RIP Benoit and family

Benoit and his family dying just devistates me. Not only is it my dream to be in wwe one day, but part of my dream was to have a match against Chris Benoit one day. I guess that part of my dream is never going to come true. R.I.P. Chris Benoit and family.

p.s. i'm glad vince came out there, it took alot of heart for him to do that.

The following is from WWE.com

It has been ruled that the deaths of Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and their son Daniel earlier today were the result of a double murder-suicide from within the home. WWE.com will have more as soon as it becomes available.

fore more info go www.hulkhogan.net

Hey guys, just so you all know:

Chris Benoit's Wife Nancy use to be in the wrestling business as a manager.

She has been in the NWA, ECW and WCW, but NEVER worked for the WWE.

She has managed the 4 Horsemen, Chris Benoit, Sid Vicious, Doom (Ron Simmons & Butch Reed), and even The Sandman.

I found this. It confirms my initial beliefs that Nancy did something and perhaps makes sense of this tragedy. I don't know anymore. It's sad all around. It is VERY descriptive so don't click if you don't want to read some disturbing things,click the SHOW button to read

holy shlt.. so i had to work all of yesterday, came home late and was pissed that my dvr didnt record raw and only law and order... i went on wwe.com to get the quick idea of what i missed.. and then i see benoit is confirmed really dead.. im honestly upset about this.. my condolences go out to the benoit family.. rest in peace ben, you'll surely be missed!

just wondering, in the event a superstar has been killed, the wwe tape interviews with thier familys in advance? because i couldnt imagine his parents and aunt to be that calm yesterday.. it was nice for vince to basically break kayfabe amd come out to say some words...

You dont have to put it as a spoiler. So if this is true it kind of lessens the blow if chris didn't kill his son. It would make sense.

see, CNN is saying something totally different....
http://www.cnn.com/
on the front page it says that Chris strangled his wife and smothered his son, it's at the top, under developing story, the yellow banner. I'd rather believe what you wrote, but now i don't know who to believe...

I'm waiting for the official word from the police.

both of these explanations are coming from anonymous sources. it's all well and good to say "well, he's an officer from this..." but it doesn't mean jack when names aren't given. one of them is wrong because there are two different stories and they both can't be right.

I'm waiting to see what the cops actually say.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/more...ex.html?cnn=yes

Here's another post, saying that an 'annoymous' source. Check it out, it says Benoit did it. I think i'll wait to see what the cops say though.

CHRIS BENOIT MURDERED HIS WIFE AND CHILD

I don't see how you guys have 'tribute' signatures for this guy. He killed his wife and seven year old son. He should not be remembered as a hero, but for what he really is - A PIECE OF TRASH AND A MURDERER.
