Its a long time since I've bothered watching wrestling, but he was a truly great athlete and one of the few naturally gifted wrestlers on the WWE roster.

RIP.

Its weird, Sky have just showed Benoit's last bout on ECW, which is still running with the "who shot Vince McMahon" storyline...obviously filmed before the news broke and nobody at Sky heard the news and thought to pull the show...

RAW on at 1am will be a 3 hour special for Benoit.

Chris Benoit found dead at his home with his entire family

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.

Fucking hell.

Re: Chris Benoit found dead at his home with his entire family

two other threads on it.

the confusion whether to catergorise wresting as a sport, lifestyle choice or simply something of general appeal has caused this.

I've not watched wrestling in years but I used to be mad into it. My folks sent me to Wrestlemania for my 21st.

At the time Benoit was my absolute favourite, I'm with what cries himself to sleep had to say about him. The best I've ever seen.

[Unicron]

Officials were investigating the deaths as a murder-suicide.

Yikes!!

 

[Gambra]

Ugh.. I hate the internet when it comes to things like this. Getting news in drips and drabs is never good..

Re: Chris Benoit found dead at his home with his entire family

It's crazy!

He killed the wife on Saturday, the son on Sunday, and himself on Monday. Most of the sites state there were no gun shots fired, nor were there any stab wounds on the victims.

Last nights RAW scrapped the McMahon angle with this opening:
