Chris Benoit dead

I don't think 'entertainment' has ever been topped. Dickie 'Badger' Davies. you'd usually follow the wrestling with an episode of the fall guy, incredible hulk. chips or better still the dukes of hazard.

I feel sorry for todays youth.

The best days of my life

Being on the road away from family is bound to affect these guys mentally.

It was a well known fact Kurt Angle was on sucide watch towards the end of his career in WWE.

Well known for those who actually watch that ****e!

Feck. Poor wife and kid if the reports of murder / suicide are true. Guess that's why he's called the Rabid Wolverine. Must be really sick to do something like this.

I'm not a wrestling fan but I thought this was tragic.
The reports were saying that the authorities were alerted when they'd missed a number of welfare checks... makes you wonder - if someone is being watched because they believe this kind of thing could happen - surely they should have gone to the house after one missed welfare check.

Then perhaps his seven year old son might still be alive.

I feel real pity for the family - all of them... it's not rage that drives a murder/suicide like that - it's despair.

That thought had crossed my mind also, especially in view of the Vince storyline. But this is too grotesque an idea even for them.

Nope, this happened

Interesting stuff. Hints of possible revelations to come there. All three dead, and none killed by gun. Then again, he was strong enough to snap their necks quite easily if he wanted to.

I just wonder what made him snap on that Saturday or Sunday that would make him leave work, drive home to kill his wife and son, and later himself.

Wrestler Benoit found dead with family

Pro wrestler Chris Benoit canceled a pay-per-view appearance at the "Vengeance" event in Houston because of "personal reasons" a day before he, his wife and their 7-year-old son were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide.

Details of the deaths "are going to prove a little bizarre" when released to the public, Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Autopsies were scheduled Tuesday by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation in DeKalb County.

Authorities were investigating the deaths at a secluded Fayette County home as a murder-suicide and were not seeking any suspects.

Investigators believe Benoit, (pronounced ben-WAH) killed his wife and son over the weekend and then himself sometime Monday. The bodies were found Monday afternoon in three different rooms of the house on Green Meadow Lane, in a subdivision off a gravel road about two miles from the Whitewater Country Club.

Ballard told The Associated Press a gun was not used in any of the deaths. But he declined to say how the three died.

"We're pretty sure we know, but we want to confirm it with the crime lab," Ballard said early Tuesday.

Fayette County Coroner C.J. Mowell did not return phone calls. The answering service for his funeral home said he was out of town.

World Wrestling Entertainment said on its Web site that it asked authorities to check on Benoit and his family after being alerted by friends who received "several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning."

Sheriff's Lt. Tommy Pope told WSB-TV that the three were found about 2:30 p.m., but he wouldn't release other details.

Stamford, Conn.-based WWE also said on its Web site it had been asked by authorities not to release further information on the deaths of Benoit, 40; his wife, Nancy, 43; and son, Daniel.

Benoit was born in Montreal. He was a former world heavyweight champion, Intercontinental champion and held several tag-team titles over his career. He was known by several names including "The Canadian Crippler."

"WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family's relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy," the company said in a statement on its Web site.

Benoit had maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling.

The WWE canceled its live "Monday Night RAW" card in Corpus Christi, Texas, and USA Network aired a three-hour tribute to Benoit in place of the scheduled wrestling telecast.

Benoit's wife managed several wrestlers and went by the stage name, "Woman," The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

They met when her then-husband drew up a script that had them involved in a relationship as part of an ongoing story line on World Championship Wrestling, the newspaper said.

Benoit has two other children from a prior relationship.

good riddance. lets hope someone knocks off the rest of them. why don't those college boys in trench coats and Rambo's armoury take out their frustrations on the 'wrestlers' instead of students?

wow, what a tit

[Morph]

[Gazzla]

It's quite distrurbing really, he apparantly murdered his wife on Friday by strangling her with an electrical chord and murdered his 7 year old son on Saturday by smothering him with a plastic bag before hanging himself the following day.
