[quote:689b6]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.[/quote:689b6]

one of the more respectable guys in the business, and fellow canadian.

holy shit. everyone is fucking dying from the WWE.

even though I stopped watching wrestling a long time ago, id probably cry if Stone Cold died. he'll always be #1. he such a good guy out of the ring.

but damn, Big names keep dying off from that.. Eddy Guererro and and now this guys. sucks

Jesus Christ eek:

I was watching the PPV last night and he was meant to be in a match against C-M Punk but they said he wasn't attending the event due to family problems. Im literally in shock reading this.

That's a shame.

shit man, all found dead? quite suspicious. never watch wrestling for years but remember him being one of the old 4 horseman.

geRV · 06-25-2007, 05:31 PM

Think raw starts early tonight (1am), 3 hour tribute show now.

Whatada · 06-25-2007, 05:32 PM

I would think it was a gas leak or something like that.

R.I.P

[quote:ace61]PW Headlines stated that Benoit called in to WWE Sunday and said he would be unable to make it back as his family was ill and they were spitting up blood[/quote:ace61]

weird circumstances - i remember him from the wrestling games, r.i.p

Chronic Diarrhea · 06-25-2007, 06:23 PM

What's weird, they were supposed to be doing some bullshit Vince McMahon investigation special tonight (he died in the storylines).

I don't watch wrestling anymore but Benoit was hardcore. He was one of the few guys I actually liked when WWE bought out WCW and the WCW guys came over to WWE (then WWF) TV.

ok... this doesn't seem right now

Ugh. Even on the WWE site.

[quote:016ab]It has been ruled that the deaths of Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and their son Daniel earlier today were the result of a double murder-suicide from within the home. WWE.com will have more as soon as it becomes available.[/quote:016ab]
