Chris Benoit and wife found dead

[toys2cool]

Just a small addition to the info- Investigators say they have recovered the "instruments" of death. I have heard that it was not a gun, but I did not see anything about the possibility of a knife. That also leaves the possibility of blunt force trauma. All the deaths are a tragedy, but the thought of the child's death just makes me shudder.

I'm hearing there is some sort of connection with Martel's death. Very unclear and still far from confirmed. How did she die? Is there some sort of known connection between her and Benoit?

I have not followed wrestling in a long while, so forgive my question if it is out of line. Has the recent deaths here been tied together with any possible connection? I know one of the side effects of streroid abuse can be depression. Have these deaths been suicides or unusual health incidents (heart attack at young age, etc.)?

Haven't heard about a connection with these two either,but you never know.They were only a few days apart.

He had a storyline where he was in his limo and it blew up......

WHO DID IT ?

That was the story.

[mitchedwards]

I've been out of watching wrestling since WCW folded. So whats the deal about Vince McMahons death?

[Mikey]

It does seem a good deal of wrestlers that have been dying lately are Canadian.

Other than them both being Canadian, none that I can recall.

There are supposed to be details coming out later today. Additional information has already been given to WWE but they've been asked not to relase it by the investigators.
In WWE's defense, they murder-suicide detials did not come out until after the show was already over. I think they made the best possible decision with the information they had at the time.

[Mikey]

None of Vinces storylines (including his own "death") were ever picked up by the national news.

The one thing that stands out in my mind......
Last night on RAW one of the wresters mentioned how well behaved and respectful Benoit's kid was.
He would always use terms like "Sir" etc.

I dunno,
All 7 year old kids are hell raisers.
If a kid acts that "good" at that age, that makes me think he's afraid as hell of something.

Perhaps this incident was the end result of somethng bad that's been going on for years.

[Earth 2 Chris]

This is real, unfortunately. Even McMahon couldn't and hopefully wouldn't pull something this tasteless.

I haven't watched wrestling in several years, but this blows my mind. I hope Benoit didn't do it, but either way, that poor kid...

Stuff like this really tears me up. For gods' sake just leave if you're that miserable.

[The Toyroom]

Maybe they're hiding him and his family from the Wrestling fans, is Chris wanted to retired and don't wanted to let the fans knows if he's back in the future????

WOW! Are you kidding me? You can't possibly believe that this is a "work"...

[mitchedwards]

Just heard the news this morning.

Very sad to hear its presumed to be a murder suicide.

[toys2cool]

wow just heard about the murder suicide thing,that's just crazy.I hope that wasn't case,but we'll see

[Hulk]

After seeing all the wrestlers talk about how much family meant to him, its hard to believe he could do that, but there was a definite vibe of uncertainty going on during the interviews. Quiet, loner, etc, etc.

As far as doing the tribute, without a definitive answer, the WWE was stuck having to do the tribute, especially after Owen and Eddie. The fact they cancelled the entire show, turning away a packed house was a change. Maybe it was just too much, or they were afraid news might break before or even during the show. Vince doesn't throw that kind of money away lightly.

[Meule]

We don't get wrestling anymore here, but I remember Benoit from a couple of years ago, good wrestler. But if he really killed his wife and son... well...
A tribute hardly seems in place here

Oh, my GOD!!!!!!!!! I hope that is NOT true!!!

I'm a big fan of Chris Benoit, I can't believe he's gone with his family!

Maybe they're hiding him and his family from the Wrestling fans, is Chris wanted to retired and don't wanted to let the fans knows if he's back in the future????

That's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard

[Hulk]

It's real Pat. He and his family are dead. The police don't make up stories like this. You've been watching too much wrestling.
