wtf?? he was just supposed to wrestle last night (but he got pulled from the card)

this says WWE.com also removed all the stuff about Vince's death from the front page. I guess they don't wanna play around with the idea of death anymore.

RIP Benoit :(

We are still awaiting further details, but we are extremely saddened to report that former WWE and WCW World champion Chris Benoit and his wife, former WCW and ECW personality Nancy "Woman" Benoit were both found dead today in Atlanta, Georgia. Obviously this will be a huge developing story in the days to come but at this point, we'd like to express our deepest condolences to the Benoits' family, friends, and fans at this time.

A meeting is currently ongoing at WWE TV and it is expected that tonight's three hour Raw will now be dedicated to Benoit's memory.

6:09 Update: WWE.com issued the following statement this afternoon: "WWE is sad to report that Chris Benoit and his family have 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."

Wrestling Observer:


Quote: The WWE just told its talent and released on its web site that Chris Benoit was found dead by Atlanta police.

Benoit, wife Nancy aka Woman and son Daniel were all found dead. We have no other details at this moment.

All plans for Raw tonight have been scrapped and they will do a show on the life of Benoit.

I doubt it's fake. Firstly, they didn't say he was "presumed dead" they just said straight up, he's dead. Secondly, I checked wikipedia after the Vince Mcmahon thing and it showed that it was a storyline. But If they are lying about it, this just crossed the line.:no:

So do i. Thay said at last nights PPV that Benoit had to go home for ''personal family reasons'' Say his wife said she was leaving him and he has gone home to try stop her. One of them flipped out, does happen

I HATE when that happens... happens to me all the time. Sometimes I think it's a gift from God is how often it happens to me. I think of something, then it happens. "What if", then it actually happens. It's only for certain things and certain times though... God it's hard to explain. But it's freaky. Sometimes goes beyond coincidental.

She wasn't STILL a wrestler but Sensational Sherri died like 4-5 days ago and WWE still shamelessly played out the Vince death angle

Like you guys said i wanna see if Vince will appear at the Benoit tribute tonight.

On another note there's a lot of ex-wrestlers and guys who are with other wrestling companies who i wonder if we'll see tonight. Benoit and Chris Jericho were like best friends. Same with Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko (damn i remember when the Radicalz first came to WWF...now 2 of them are dead)

:oldlol: Oh yeah. But this is everywhere, not just on WWE.com. And you can just feel that this one isn't a gimmick. Especially with the fact that he got pulled out of the PPV on Sunday.

If this is fake, though, f*ck wrestling. For my 10+ years of enjoying it, I'll hate it forever. This would be crossing the line. Hell, this would be stomping and spitting on the line.

it would make sense that the wrestling sites were the first ones to write stories about it, being he was a wrestler and the fan base would be the most interested. it sounds like it just happened so maybe mainstream news is working on stories now

Well, at last nights WWE PPV he was ment to wrestle. Come the match thay said ''Chris Benoit has had to go home for personal family reasons'' What reason? His wife called him and said she was leaving him, he went home to try and stop her from going. Next thing she is about to walk about he cant let her go, loses it and next thing she is dead.

MORE DETAILS ON DEATH OF CHRIS BENOIT & FAMILY
By: Bob Ryder
6/25/2007 6:36:57 PM

Details remain very sketchy regarding the tragic news today that Chris Benoit and his family were found dead at their Atlanta area home.

Benoit had been scheduled to appear on a WWE house show on Saturday. Sources tell us Benoit called to first say he would be taking a later flight, and then to say he would not be attending the house show due to a family illness. According to one source, Benoit said both his wife and son were throwing up blood and he needed to stay to take care of them.

At last night's Vengeance pay-per-view, Benoit was replaced in his match by Johnny Nitro.

No other details are available at this time and police are on the scene at the Benoit residence investigating.

Heilige
06-25-2007, 07:15 PM
I'm going with it being a work, for now. Nothing, and I mean nothing, on the international wire. Nothing in Calgary, nothing in Atlanta. Nothing that even points to a mass killing.


No one else is covering this. WWE stands to lose a lot from this if it isn't real.


If it IS a work, it's a be a big one... TNA has something on their front page about it, too.

WWE.COM


The sports-entertainment world has lost a Legend, as WWE is saddened to report that Chris Benoit and his family were found dead in their Atlanta-area home today. Benoit was 40 years old.

A trainee of the legendary Stu Hart, Benoit began his career in 1985 in Calgary after training with Stu and the Hart Family in the infamous Dungeon. Benoit idolized former World Tag Team Champion Dynamite Kid, and the high-flying style Benoit utilized throughout his career was influenced heavily by the British Superstar. However, his training in the Dungeon helped mold him into one of the best technical grapplers in sports-entertainment history as well.

Benoit competed for Stu Hart’s Stampede Wrestling organization from 1985-1989, where he held both the British Commonwealth Title and the International Tag Team Title four times each, before heading to Japan, where his career truly blossomed. He originally competed as the masked Pegasus Kid and had numerous classic clashes with Japanese legends such as Shinjiro Ohtani and Jushin “Thunder” Liger. It was in New Japan Pro Wrestling where he also met a man who would become one of his closest friends, Eddie Guerrero.

While in Japan, Benoit held the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship and won the 1994 Super J Cup tournament, one of the most prestigious light-heavyweight tournaments in sports-entertainment.

It was that same year that Benoit burst onto the scene in the United States. He had competed in the States before, taking part in the NWA World Tag Team Title tournament in 1992 and wrestling briefly in WCW, but it was in South Philadelphia where Benoit truly cut his teeth in America. Benoit joined ECW, where he teamed with another long-time friend, Dean Malenko, to win the ECW Tag Team Championship. It was also during his time in South Philadelphia where Benoit became known as the “Canadian Crippler,” as it was during a match with Benoit where Sabu suffered a broken neck.

After a year in ECW, Benoit headed back to WCW (and also New Japan, who had a working agreement with ECW at the time). His career elevated to the next level when he became an official member of the Four Horsemen, joining Ric Flair, Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman in 1995.

During his near five-year stay in WCW, Benoit went from an unknown to household name and bona-fide Superstar. Staying close with the Horsemen through numerous incarnations of the group, Benoit became known for his hard-hitting, smash-mouth, no-nonsense style. His rivalry with Kevin Sullivan throughout 1996 (including their legendary Falls Count Anywhere Match at the 1996 Great American Bash) was lauded as one of the greatest and most intense in the company’s history.

While in WCW, Benoit also racked up numerous accolades. He held the Television Championship on three occasions, was a two-time United States Champion and won the WCW Tag Team Championship twice as well (once with Malenko, once with Perry Saturn). He also faced Bret Hart in a tribute match to Bret’s brother and Benoit’s good friend Owen Hart in 1999, and in his final WCW match in January 2000, Benoit defeated Sid to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

Unfortunately, trouble in WCW led to Benoit, Guerrero, Malenko and Saturn leaving the company the next day, so the reign was nullified. The foursome, however, debuted later that month in WWE as The Radicalz.

Benoit immediately found success in WWE, claiming the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 2000. He would go on to hold that gold on a total of four occasions. Through 2003, he also held the World Tag Team Championship and the WWE Tag Team Championship.

Finally, in 2004, after nearly 20 years of struggle, Benoit reached the top. Starting the match at No. 1, Benoit lasted over an hour to win the 2004 Royal Rumble Match, last eliminating the mammoth Big Show to win. That earned him a World Championship match, and at WrestleMania XX in Madison Square Garden, he defeated Shawn Michaels and champion Triple H in a Triple Threat Match to claim the World Heavyweight Championship. The celebration is one of the most memorable WrestleMania moments of all-time, as he and best friend Eddie Guerrero (the reigning WWE Champion at the time) embraced in the center of the ring amidst a stream of confetti and the cheers of a raucous capacity crowd.

In the next three years, Benoit would go on to hold the World Tag Team Championship twice more and had three reigns as United States Champion, the last of which ended just two months ago at Backlash. He was drafted to ECW in the 2007 WWE Draft, and in his final WWE match, Benoit defeated Elijah Burke on the June 19 ECW on Sci Fi.

Over the course of his 22-year career, Chris Benoit solidified his reputation as one of the greatest to ever set foot inside a ring. He was a man of few words, but his passion for the sports-entertainment business was almost unrivaled. Whether loved or hated, Benoit was always well-respected by our fans and his peers for his in-ring ability, his trademark toothless grin and his non-nonsense attitude.

The sports-entertainment world has truly suffered a loss with his passing, as one of the all-time greats was taken well before his time.

This is tragic.
According to published reports, WWE professional wrestler Chris Benoit and his family were found dead in their home in Peachtree City.

On their Web site, World Wrestling Entertainment officials said that Benoit and his family were found dead on Monday.

The statement said, " 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. Monday night's "Raw" on USA Network will serve as a tribute to Chris Benoit and his family."

Fayette County and Peachtree City authorities have not confirmed Benoit's death.

From the Atlanta-Journal Constitution:


A professional wrestler and his family were found dead inside their house in Fayette County Monday afternoon.

Authorities confirmed that Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy and their 7-year-old son were found dead at the home on Quarters and Redwine roads in Fayetteville about 4 p.m.

Officials would not say how the family died, other than to say they weren't shot to death.

Benoit, 30, was a Canadian wrestler who most recently fought as part of the World Wrestling Entertainment.

The organization said on its Web site said that Monday night's broadcast of "Raw" on the USA Network will "serve as a tribute to Chris Benoit and his family."

I just came back home from work and went to wwe.com and saw that Chris Beniot and his family was found dead. He was suppose to wrestle last night at the Vengence PPV for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship but was called home cause there was a family emergency. Now today he passed away. I'm in total shock right now. Chris is reunited with his best friend Eddie Guerrero and the Hart Family. His trainer and mentor Stu Hart, Owen Hart and "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith. R. I. P.

I'm thinking the wife was depressed and upset and poisoned herself and the boy to death. She called Benoit as she was dying so he went home. Hopefully he called the authorities before he headed home. Then he got there and found them dead or very close to dying. It was too late. And then he being the type of person who puts his heart and soul into anything he does, fund the poison and ingested it himself in overwhelming depression and in hope of joining them in eternity.

The Atlanta-Journal Constitution has posted up an article regarding what is known about Chris Benoit and his family's untimely death thus far. They are reporting that authorities found Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and their 7-year-old son, Daniel, dead at their home in Fayetteville, Georgia at about 4 p.m. local time. Officials would not say how the family died, other than to say that they weren't shot to death. Here is the article:


Pro wrestler, family found dead in Fayetteville home

By Saeed Ahmed, Kathy Jefcoats
The Atlanta-Journal Constitution
Published on: 06/25/07

A well-known professional wrestler and his family were found dead inside their house in Fayette County Monday afternoon.

Authorities confirmed that Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and their 7-year-old son, Daniel, were found dead at the home on Quarters and Redwine roads in Fayetteville about 4 p.m.

Officials would not say how the family died, other than to say they weren't shot to death.

Benoit, a 40-year-old Canadian native maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the now-defunct World Championship Wrestling.

Most recently, Benoit fought as part of the World Wrestling Entertainment organization. WWE canceled its live show in Corpus Christi Monday night, and its broadcast of "Raw" on the USA Network was a three-hour retrospective on Benoit's career.

"Obviously, all sorts of speculation are running rampant but I have talked to so many people and nobody really knows [whether the couple was having marital troubles]," said Bryan Alvarez, who runs Figurefour Weekly, a wrestling newsletter and Web site, from Linwood, Washington.

Benoit was scheduled to appear in a pay-per-view title match Sunday night, but was a no-show due to a "family emergency," the WWE said during the broadcast.

Benoit's wife, Nancy, managed several wrestlers and went by the stage name, "Woman."

They met when her then-husband drew up a script that had them involved in a relationship as part of an ongoing storyline on World Championship Wrestling.

Soon after, the two became romantically involved in real life and married, Alvarez said.

Benoit has two other children from a prior relationship.

The same could be said about the mother. Why would she kill her own son. Especially when she has to other kids and a husband.

You just don't know in these cases.

It's very real. Assessing Benoit's career, it was easy to root against him all the time when he always seemed to feud a crowd favorite if it was the Rock, Austin, Y2J, or Taker. Triple H put it best...love or hate him (and there were times i did both during his career), you had to respect the intensity brought to the table. He lived his dream, and while his life didn't end fittingly, his career did. The clip of WMXX said it all. He worked for it everyday, and while the storylines are acted, he deserved that title.

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
