Chris Benoit and family found dead
 

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.

I don't think this is fake, if it is that is really fucked up.

Ruh-roh :(

Murder suicide?

sad to hear, any links to any news wire stories on this?

5 bucks says he comes back from the dead and wrestles

wow...i hope it wasnt a roid rage

Can't find anything on the news wires about it.

I'm googling for it now, trying to find out more. The munchkin is at his dad's this week, and he called this morning for me to go online and see who won at Vengence last night. The story on that particular match that Benoit was supposed to be in said that Johnny Nitro fought as Benoit was out for personal reasons.

Like you, I don't think this is fake. Faking Vince is one thing, but this is something all together different.

Damn, I remember watching him as a kid in WCW.

Bubba ( www.btls.com ) broke the story about 5 minutes ago. He called another wrestler on the phone who confirmed the bad news. It is not know how it went down.

or maybe its fake.. just like last week when vince died?

nah dude, roids don't affect you. Just ask all the roiders on this board.

It's not fake. My old roommate, that used to wrestle with Chris in ECW, just called me and told me the news. If you are a wrestling fan, his wife Nancy was "Woman" in WCW and ECW and "The Fallen Angel" in the old Championship Wrestling from Florida.

He rushed home last night before a PPV match for a family emergency. And now they're saying him and his family were found dead. Absolutely tragic. Benoit was an amazing wrestler and a Canadian legend.

nothing on any news source yet.

It's a wrestling site but a credible link http://pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.asp?id=25101&p=1

One of Canada's Best.. Hope it's bs - but probably not.. Rest well.

damn you talkin old school now. Gordon Sole, dusty Rhodes, Black Jack Mulliagan ah the good old days. My dad was one of the beat guys back in the days so i got to go to all the shows for free.

Its weird me and you were just talking about Chris Benoit the other day too. Its a very very sad day for wresting fans and the Benoit family...

Benoit was amazing. There are just a handful of guys in WWE who can actully wrestle. I'm talking amateur style wrestling. He was one of my favorites.

Toothless Aggression!

He will be missed :(

Holy crap... that's unbelievable. I'm very sad to hear this. I loved watching him... his spirit and energy was amazing.

:(

shocking ....:(

I grew up in Ft Lauderdale so I used to go to all of the shows at the War Memorial Auditorium and the Miami Beach Convention Center, plus the old West Palm Beach Arena. I was a huge fan of Kevin Sullivan back in the day and his Satanic gimmick, and Nancy Benoit was his wife at the time.

I still have an old program with Chief Wahoo McDaniel's, Barry Windham's, and Jimmy Valiant's autographs on it, and another one with Scott Hall's autograph when he was first breaking into the biz and had the Hulk Hogan handle bar mustache.

Something seriously fucked up had to happen if he flew home from the PPV last night for a family emergency and now he and his whole family are dead...

I think that two of his sons are still alive. Only one was in Atlanta, apparently.

He was from my home town - Edmonton. This is sad news :(

Ouch, I'm wait for someone to say, April Fools. He was my favourite...

Holy..another good Canadian wrestler dead :(

he was from montreal

That's about all I've been able to find.

guess tonight on RAW we will all know more

oh no - sad news

wow... shocking news and very odd circumstances.

That's awful! I loved watching him wrestle when I was younger.

These poor wrestlers are dropping like flies lately. Must have been something seirously fucked up if the whole family is dead. :(

WHAT? Such a shame... I loved Benoit.

RIP
