Story

Just seen this, doesnt seem to be much about it, im not really a wrestling fan myself, but i was and i did like Chris. If this is true, its a sad loss. Sorry if this is old news or already posted, just curious.

Legit..Sad loss. Such a great competitor. He Performed at our place twice, and as always, a Huge fan favorite. I'll never forget the Rabid Wolverine.

That's horrible news coming from anywhere. I really hope it's not some family murder then suicide. Horrible.

Didn't Vince McMahon just "die" in a car bombing? :lol:

Say what you will about Professional wrestling. They've had they're share of tragic losses in the last few years.

Agreec , that would be a big shock to a lot of wrestling fans I'm sure. That is a sin to happen to any family , celebrity or not.

In a lot of ways he was a hockey player in a Wrestlers body.

[EDIT] Odd, Since Vince McMahon's "death" there have been 2 deaths in the WWE family. Sensational Sherrie and now Chris Benoit.

These WWE tributes are so surreal. Seeing these guys out of character and being themselves remembering a friend and colleague.

Just been confirmed by police that chris murdered his wife and son, then killed himself.

[mack 44]

Wait, Rod Beck died and he's a real athlete and it went unnoticed here. Damn.

Figured that's what it would turn out to be, that's just pussy.

Cripes...

mack...what is the story on Beck...I read he died, but they didn't have full details.

[kovalchuk71 212]

It was confirmed? Last I saw (5 minutes ago) It was still a possibility.

They dont know about Beck yet. I suspect a drug/Alcohol overdose

There were no signs of gunshot wounds or stabbing.

The article I read said that the "instruments of the deaths" were still at the location. I believe that was the term I read...

[mack 44]

That...couldn't be more of a vague description at all. And no, I haven't heard anything on Beck but my assumption is substance-related as well.

I just pictured a weapon of some kind when I read that...but later read, no evidence of shooting or stabbing.

As for Beck...I won't be the least bit surprised if that is the outcome.

According to this article on the WWE website, it was in fact a double murder-suicide; apparently the WWE has more details on what really happened but the police are telling them to hold that info: (link below) :

I don't even want to say what I really think of this situation and any situation like this.

I will say thats no way to go about things.

When it was WWF Owen Hart died.

Title needs to be changed to: Chris Benoit murders family, then himself.

Wife was killed Saturday, Kid on Sunday and then he off'ed himself on Monday.

[Sven 1]

Ah i see. The link did not work here and so i misinterpretated it.

[Monty22 833]

Roid rage?

Why do people who no longer want to be here take others with them?

I think the murder-suicide thing will overtake any "accomplishments" that he might have had; jumping around on a fake wrestling mat, wearing tights, juiced on steroids...

[tomh7 2]

This is just sad. I grew up watching the Rabid Wolverine battle through hell and earn the respect of his opponents, colleagues, and fans. I always thought he was one of the more classy and respectable performers in wrestling. I can only wonder what all of the punnishment he went through during his career contributed to his downfall (assuming the reports of murder suicide are true).

As for Vincent McMahon, I think the whole limo bomb was a publicity stut and that he was not harmed. He will be back.

This is f'ed up:

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.
