WWE is reporting that Chris Benoit and his family (including his wife, former WCW & ECW personality Nancy "Woman" Benoit and son Daniel, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reports) have been found dead in their home in Atlanta. Their is a photo of Benoit on the front page of WWE.com. Furthermore, all the stuff surrounding the faux McMahon death angle has been removed from the front page. This is not a joke. Here is WWE's message regarding this tragic news:
BENOIT FOUND DEAD
WWE is sad to report that Chris Benoit and hisfamilyhave been found dead in their home. Police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the deaths. Tonight's Raw will be a tribute to Chris and his family.

probably either 'roid rage" or a brokeback mountain type revelation, these modern day wrestlers don't hold a candle to the old "entertainers" like Jackie Pallo , Mick McManus or Billy Two rivers , sad that the wife and kids had to be the innocent victims ,
Seems the WWE has passed its sell by date and is going the way of roller derby and becoming a bit of a dinosour to the new IFC type gladitorial TV fighting

I was totally confused with the first post.. made no sense at all.. then the picture in the second post shows its one of them american play acting wrestlers...

It would seem mani is more shocked and amazed than the rest of us.... Sorry mani but a hundred and fifty thousand people died yesterday.. men women and children... hard to be shocked about this fella..

But each to his own..

Could be steroid rage or 'too much testosterone is bad for you'

WillowTheWhisp · 26-06-2007, 13:14

That is something I can never get my head round when someone kills their own family.

mani · 26-06-2007, 20:42

yea they saying it cud've been roid rage

apparently just before killing himself he sent a few txts to a few mates who were working at the wwe and it was those txts which made them call the police and ask them to do a wellness check

and to top that

apparently once the details come out from the investigation people going to find them a lil "peculiar"

He was a very entertaining guy. I follow this WWE for the entertainment value. I was pretty shocked last night when my wife brought it to my attention. I've been very surprise how popular this stuff has continued to be. It is very over the top at times but they do some pretty wild stunts in that ring. I know Tinks was very much into it all.

Just my 2 cents!
