Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

That sucks.

He was one of my favorite WWE wrestlers.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

wasn't he just drafted? he prolly didnt wanna go to another show so they faked his death o.o

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Yeah he was a really cool guy.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Possible, but I doubt it.

I'm pretty sure its real.

There was supposed to be a fake funeral for Mcmahon today but instead they're doing a tribute to Benoit.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Yeah there just showing a bunch of his old matches.

Edit. Vince Mcmahon is not dead.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Yeah I heard about that, but what about Vince Mcmahon? Did he really die or was it just a publicity stunt?

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

No he is not dead he was just talking on raw about how sad he is that he is dead.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Edit; Ninja'd by Super Kid.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Its kind of hard to believe that he is dead.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Like when Eddie died in his hotel. Now both are dead. Sad :(.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

All of his family were found dead at the same time, I bet it's a murder...

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

I believe it's a homicide. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Who knows what happened, first it was Eddie and now Chris. Two very good people died. Benoit was one hell of a wrestler.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Its a possible double murder suicide.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Its homicide I believe.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

It s currently being ruled as a double murder suicide, but nothing is being 100% confirmed. There were no gunshot or stab wounds apparently.

What is also weird is that Benoit cancelled his match at Vengence for what was said to be "personal reasons".

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Weird. Double weird.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

this is off of the WWE website.



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.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Oh my gosh, I just went from feeling sad about his family to angry at Benoit.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

This is what I think happened.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Why would Benoit do that if he wanted the ECW title? It doesn't make sense.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

True.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

I think he was very depressed they say any blows taken to the head causes depression.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

He did get a head injury at ECW when he did that flying headbutt, but then Elijah Berk countered with his knees.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

No I mean from every match. Every time he got hit in the head in his career it takes a big toll on you health.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

ok i think you people have to realise this goes way past professional wrestling now...the finger points to issues outside of the ring for benoit...this has nothing to do with titles

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

That shouldn't of been the reason. We don't really know what happened anyways.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

I know a guy who taught their kid how to swim for 3 years. He's pretty shocked. "Who the **** kills a 7 year old kid?"

:(

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Yeah i hope it wasn't the thing with Benoit murdering his family and commiting suicide himself... I can only hope not...

Cheers,
Daniel

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Wrestling, ew

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

I'm still having a hard time believing he is dead, he was a great athlete =(

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Same thing. I cant imagine Benoit murdering his family...This is crazy.

cßr

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Who? no really, who?

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

This is depressing... he was definitely in the hall of fame...

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

He's going to the Hall of Fame Ceremony no matter what. I wonder why this happened. . .
Are you a retard? Read the first post in this thread.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

If he did murder his family I think he must have been really depressed about something.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

He couldn't of been depressed by something. It's not like him to ditch a match at Vengeance for the ECW world title. We don't actually know what happened, all we know that he is dead with his family.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Things are poping up all over the internet on sites and through links on wikipedia that Benoit accidently strangled his wife in an argument, panicked then killed his son and then hung himself. Don't know if its true but we will find out eventually. I'm watching all the news channels right now to find out more info.


Update: Headline News has just reported the same thing. Its has not been oficially confirmed yet but a press release is apparantly going to happen at 3 pm Eastern time.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

They could believe what they want to believe until we here from investigators. That's when we'll know.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Benoit strangled his wife in an argument, smothered his son and then hung himself. Aparantly there are some strange text messages sent by Benoit and that Benoit killed himself a day after he killed his son and wife.

This was reported by the associate press. A press release is going to be held very soon. I believe at 3 pm EST/ 2 pm CENT.

I'm going to continue to watch Headline News for more updates.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Sources in the Fayette County Police Department are now working under the theory that Chris Benoit killed Nancy on Saturday, son Daniel on Sunday, and then killed himself earlier today.

Benoit was found dead in his weight room. Nancy was found dead in the living room. Daniel was found dead in his bedroom, accordig t an unnamed source in the department.

Lt. Tommy Pope told ABC News "the instruments of death were located on the scene," but didn't specify what those were or where they were found. Pope said the department was not actively searching for any suspects outside the house.

I see there is some mispelling. It's in bold.
It may have been true.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

The press confrerence is going to begin in a few minutes.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Channel? I'm going to watch it.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Toxicology reports will not become available for at least two weeks.

Off the WWE website.

Edit: Did they find blood any were in the house?

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

No, I don't think they're going to air the press conference. But im pretty sure if you go to WWE.com they will have something about it there.

I can't believe that Chris Benoit may have done such a thing to his family and himself. I truly hope this isn't the case. I used to idolize Chris, and now, i'm not sure what to believe. If the murder-suicide case is right, then my idolism for him just died.

Cheers,
Daniel

EDIT: super kid: I don't think they released that much information about the blood, yet.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

"Investigators have not disclosed how the three died but said they were not seeking any suspects outside the home where Benoit apparently took his own life after killing his wife and son."
http://www.reuters.com/article/wtMos...34708220070626

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Its has been stated at conference that Benoit probably killed his son and wife and killed himself. There were prescription drugs and anibiotic steroids in the house. They will not reveal what the text messages Benoit sent said.

You can watch the press conference live on CNN.com

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

He had to have used drugs because I don't believe they found weapons or blood any were in the house. The only thing is we wont know for two weeks until they release the toxicology report.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

On the press Conference it said that there were bibles found next to each of the victims. Also the wife was bound on her hands and feet.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

AP: Benoit strangled wife, smothered son, then hung him self in his weight room.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Well the press conference is over on CNN Headline News.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Can't find it. I think he was on steroids.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

If you have time warner cable it should be on channel 45. Or just go to CNN.com and watch the conference. Unfortunatly you can only watch a 3 minute sample unless you are subscribed to CNN pipeline.

Re: For all you WWE fans.

Re: For all you WWE fans.

Covering the mouth of a person stopping them from breathing. Commonly it is done with a hand, pillow, or a plastic bag.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard confirmed that Chris Benoit had killed his wife and son. His wife was bound at the wrists and feet, while there were no signs of restraint on his son, both died of asphyxiation. It is reported that his wife died on Friday, his son died on Saturday, and Benoit killed himself later Saturday evening or early Sunday morning. Benoit's body was found dead of asphyxiation hanging by the cord of a weight machine in his basement. It was also reported that there was a Bible by both Nancy and Daniel's bodies

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

What the goddamn is wrong with you? If you don't know what is going on, you don't have any business spamming up a thread just to up your ****ing postcount. Consider this a warning.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

I can't belive it, now he's dead. And worse, Mr. Mcmahon faked his death.

1st: Eddie Gurerro
Then: Sensational Sherri
Now: Chris Beniot & family.
Next: Undertaker? (that would suck)

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

I heard after he killed them, his theme music started playing.

Re: For all you WWE fans.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

This is a disgusting act of a human.

Re: For all you WWE fans.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

This sux...

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Nancy Benoit had filed for a divorce in 2003, saying the couple's three-year marriage was irrevocably broken and alleging "cruel treatment." She later dropped the complaint, as well as a request for a restraining order in which she charged that the 5-foot-10, 220-pound Benoit had threatened her and had broken furniture in their home.

In the divorce filing, she said Benoit made more than $500,000 a year as a professional wrestler and asked for permanent custody of Daniel and child support. In response, Benoit sought joint custody.

Update:

arly Sunday morning, between 3:51 and 3:58 a.m., Benoit sent five text messages to co-workers:


Text Message 1 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:53am)- Chris Benoit’s cell phone
“My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane, Fayetteville Georgia. 30215”

Text Message 2 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:53am)- Chris Benoit’s cell phone
“The dogs are in the enclosed pool area. Garage side door is open”

Text Message 3 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:54am)- Nancy Benoit’s cell phone
“My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane.
Fayetteville Georgia. 30215”

Text Message 4 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:55am)- Nancy Benoit’s cell phone
“My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane.
Fayetteville Georgia. 30215

Text Message 5 to one co-worker (sent 6/24 at 3:58am)- Nancy Benoit’s cell phone
“My address is 130 Green Meadow Lane. Fayetteville Georgia. 30215”

Throughout the day on Sunday, WWE made numerous attempts to contact Benoit both at home and at local hospitals in the Atlanta area. As of 11:00 p.m., WWE officials were unable to establish contact with Chris Benoit.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

I did not know there son was mentally retarded.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Chris Benoit did double murder-suicide. It was caused by the steroids his doctor assigned. They won't release any more info for a couple weeks.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

Yeah that sucks.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
 

This is all because of those damn steroids.

Re: For all you WWE fans.
