Tragedy strikes WWE. Chris Benoit is dead (Not a gimmick)
I don't watch anymore... but I was down with Benoit back when I used to watch... so... incase you didnt hear:
Quote:
World Wrestling Entertainment was informed today by authorities in Fayetteville County, Ga., that WWE Superstar Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and his son were found dead in their home. Authorities are investigating, but no other details are available at this time.
Instead of its announced programming for tonight on USA Network, WWE will air a three-hour tribute to Chris Benoit.
Chris was beloved among his fellow Superstars, and was a favorite among WWE fans for his unbelievable athleticism and wrestling ability. He always took great pride in his performance, and always showed respect for the business he loved, for his peers and towards his fans. This is a terrible tragedy and an unbearable loss.
WWE extends its sincere condolences and prayers to the Benoit family and loved ones in this time of tragedy.

I just saw this myself and posted it under World Sports. I met him a few times and he always struck me as a well spoken, good man. It's a shame that this happened.

Complete devastation...... I have been a fan for over 10 years now. One of the most technical wrestlers ever. He will not be replaced.
My condolences to his entire family. I am heart broken.
This was one of the good guys.
Nancy, Chris, and his 7 year old boy Daniel.... Horrible.
I'd like to know where Kevin Sullivan was this weekend.

I used to watch wrestling when I was younger, as a matter of fact I go back to the days of Bobo Brazil.
I firmly believe that this tragedy will reveal itself to be a result of steroid abuse.
There have been and will continue to too many deaths and tragedies because of this.
"Sports Entertainment" is not regulated and we are just now beginning to see the results.

Definately not the case here..... As was stated above, this looks like a domestic issue gone very wrong. We may never know what happened, but hopefully, this wasn't Chris Benoit losing control of his emotions. A 7 year old boy and his mother are now gone.
Also, this wasn't a beginning of anything. drug related deaths in wrestling go back for over 20 years now. Henning, Guerrero, Rick Rude, Brian Pillman, Ms. Elizabeth, Louie Spicolli, British Bulldog, Crash Holly, Big Bossman, & Any of the Von Erich's.
I get your point though. Being a fan of wrestling sucks sometimes.

get your facts straight before you spout off crap like this
TMZ has learned more about the deaths of WWE wrestling superstar Chris Benoit, his wife and son -- and the information is extremely disturbing.
Several Atlanta-based law enforcement sources have told TMZ Benoit may have strangled his wife on Saturday, then smothered his son in his bed a day later. Investigators refuse to officially comment, pending final confirmation by the coroner on the cause and time of the deaths.
One source told TMZ that Benoit was texting friends during Sunday's WWE "Vengeance" Pay-Per-View program -- possibly watching the show with his son, who may have been alive at the time.
According to sources, Benoit then hanged himself Monday in a weight room inside the family home.
A police investigation is ongoing.

I'm shaking my head here in disgust. If true, Chris truly lived a different life than what he showed as a wrestler.
