Studley

June 26th, 2007, 01:42

It's on wwe.com, and a few lines on other wrestling sites, but no other mainstream media yet. So it could be that it's just a storyline, you never know with these guys.

Seems a bit extreme though if it's fake.

Was it Eddie Guerroueruoeuoroeoroe (SP?) who also died in the WWE? I don't think that was fake.

They would get too much bad publicity if it turned out they made it all up.

Omg, that really sucks. He was meant to wrestle last night at Vengeance for the ECW title but Nitro took his place due to a family emergency.

And Ross, Eddie was addicted to drugs and drink, got clean but the damage was done. He died in November.

World Wrestling Entertainment is deeply saddened to report that today Chris Benoit and his family were found dead in their home. There are no further details at this time, other than the Benoit family residence is currently being investigated by local authorities.

Tonight’s Raw on USA Network will serve as a tribute to Chris Benoit and his family. WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family’s relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy.

According to lead investigator Lt. Tommy Pope, of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department, in Fayetteville, Ga., the deaths of WWE Superstar Chris Benoit, wife Nancy and son Daniel were the result of a double murder-suicide, WWE.com has learned.

Benoit failed to appear both at Saturday’s live event in Beaumont, Tx., and WWE’s Vengeance: Night of Champions in Houston Sunday night, after informing WWE of a family emergency. Several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning prompted concerned friends to alert Richard Hering, VP of Government Relations for WWE, Inc. Hering, in turn, spoke with Fayette County sheriffs Monday, and requested that they respond to the Benoit residence to check on him and his family.

Authorities representing the Sheriff’s Department initially had a difficult time entering Benoit’s new Fayetteville home Monday afternoon, which had been guarded by two large German Shepherds roaming freely around the property. Once authorities entered the residence, they quickly located the bodies of Benoit, Nancy and Daniel. WWE was notified of the discovery at approximately 4 p.m.

At 10 p.m. Monday night, Lt. Pope held a press conference in conjunction with Scott Ballard, the district attorney for Fayette County. The press conference officially ruled authorities’ findings as a double murder-suicide from within the home.

WAGA, a FOX-owned and operated television station in Atlanta, reported that investigators believe Benoit killed his wife and 7-year-old son over the weekend, then himself on Monday.

The three bodies have been received by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s crime lab, in Decatur, Ga., where autopsies will be performed Tuesday morning. Toxicology reports will not become available for at least two weeks.

WWE.com has further information relating to both the investigation and the cause of death, but the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department has requested that WWE.com not release any additional details at this time.

I think it is really sad when GROWN men watch this shit...

I'm not a huge fan of the WWE. Haven't been since I was about 12. But you know, just to play the devil's advocate for a minute......
The majority of people would say the same thing about grown men playing video games Bru.

I kind of understand kids playing video games, but it is really sad when grown men play them.

Chris, go back and read my comments from the begining. Also read the quote from Bru. There is no cut off age IMO. Thats not what I was saying. I was saying that just the same way Bru generalizes that its sad when grown men watch wrestling, other see it as sad when grown men play video games.

I'm 25 right now. I still play video games. I will be playing with my grandkids in the distant future dude.
I have a buddy of mine that just finished writting the 2nd part of the BAR exam. He's a lawyer, and probably one of the smartest men I've known, yet he loves wrestling.

Am I sad for playing games? No more/less than my firend is for watching wrestling.

Pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son before hanging himself in his weight room, a law enforcement official close to the investigation told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Authorities also said they are investigating whether steroids may have been a factor in the deaths of Benoit, his wife and their 7-year-old son. Steroid abuse has been linked to depression, paranoia, and aggressive behavior or angry outbursts known as "roid rage."

He tied up his wife, legs and arms, there was blood found by her head. He also killed his seven year old son (killed both by strangling). He left Bibles by their bodies (despite not being religious), then proceeded to hang himself with the use of one of his weight-lifting machines.

a few more tid bits about it all, his son had Fragile X syndrom, which is like autism. The boy was 7 years old and when they did the autopsy they found out that the boy's wind pipe was crushed but no bruising which they said is from chis benoit using a choke hold on him. personally the guy can rot in hell and hopefully while down there he is being raped by the devil. there is absolutly NO excuse to kill a child with a special gift.....and it just bugs me deeply every day that someone could take the life of a child, let alone use a choke hold while they struggle for life in their fathers hands....
