Honestly - I wouldn't speculate that Benoit was the victim here. He was a great wrestler, but the odds are in favor of him being at fault.

Absolute shame - I'm really suprised people haven't talked more about doing something with regard to the extreme mental and physical stresses pro-wrestlers face. Sure seems like there have been more than enough tragedies to warrant it.

It's all pretty surreal and bizarre. Just this morning I heard an ad on the radio about how Chris Benoit would be making a special appearance at a local shopping mall on July 6 (WWE's coming to my country to stage a show next month) and then I get into work an hour later to see his death on the news headlines. Just... surreal.

Yes, Yes and Yes. This is my question as well.

Even James gibson (Jamie noble in wwe) was world champion, and was really good.


2nd one is samoa joe. he's a big guy (270lbs) but he can fucking move like a guy half his weight.


yeah i have seen samoa joe abit in tna, great wrestler! Its a shame they never use cruiserweights in WWE, vince has banned all their cool moves. Jamie Noble, Super Crazy, Akio (wang yang), Shannon More are the best wrestlers in wwe. Its a shame they released Psicosis last year, always been my favorite but i prefered him with his mask on : P

yeah, paul london, kendrick etc too came from there, and then u have rey mysterio who's a legend at his weight. Vince has always liked the big men tho, 300lbs+ who can't do much but he just has a 'thing' for them.

RJT/Spaniard. - there is a strict testing thing in now, which is why kurt angle left. they basically told him to stop doing the painkillers or he'd die, and he basically left & went to tna, which has a much lighter workload.

maybe it was the seven year-old who did it? i've met some mean seven-year-old son-of-bitches in my day.


Posted by leph555 on Jun-26-2007 17:02:

Guys CNN is saying that Chris murdered his family and then hung himself!


Posted by Spacey Orange on Jun-26-2007 17:05:

if that's the case, this guy does not deserve to rest in peace.


since when do we say that about cold-blooded women and child murderers? we're supposed to give him sympathy because he was famous? mehh.

More details:

ATLANTA - Pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son before hanging himself in his weight room, a law enforcement official close to the investigation told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Authorities also said they are investigating whether steroids may have been a factor in the deaths of Benoit, his wife and their 7-year-old son. Steroid abuse has been linked to depression, paranoia, and aggressive behavior or angry outbursts known as "roid rage."

"We don't know yet. That's one of the things we'll be looking at," said Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard. He said test results may not be back for weeks.

Autopsies were scheduled Tuesday by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Authorities were investigating the deaths at a secluded Fayette County home as a murder-suicide and were not seeking any suspects. The official who described the manner of death spoke on the condition of anonymity because the information was to be released at a news conference later Tuesday.

Investigators believe Benoit (pronounced ben-WAH) killed his wife, 43-year-old Nancy, and son Daniel during the weekend and then himself Monday. The bodies were found Monday afternoon in three separate rooms of the house, off a gravel road about two miles from the Whitewater Country Club.

Fayette County Coroner C.J. Mowell did not return calls seeking comment. The answering service for his funeral home said he was out of town.

Asked about the condition of the interior of the house, sheriff's Sgt. Keith Whiteside said investigators found "nothing really out of the ordinary." He said Benoit was found in the home's weight room, his wife in an office and the son in an upstairs bedroom.

Neighbors said the Benoits led a low-key lifestyle.

"We would see Chris walking in his yard from time to time. He wasn't rude, but he wasn't really outwardly warm," said Alaina Jones, who lives across the street.

Jimmy Baswell, who was Benoit's driver for more than five years, placed a white wreath at the Benoits' gate. "They always seemed like they were the happiest people," he said.

World Wrestling Entertainment said on its Web site that it asked authorities to check on Benoit and his family after being alerted by friends who received "several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning."

The WWE, based in Stamford, Conn., said authorities asked that it not release further information on the deaths.

Benoit, born in Montreal, was a former world heavyweight champion, Intercontinental champion and held several tag-team titles. His names in the ring included "The Canadian Crippler."

"WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family's relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy," the company said in a statement on its Web site.

"He was like a family member to me, and everyone in my family is taking it real hard," said fellow Canadian Bret Hart, a five-time champion with the World Wrestling Federation. The federation has since changed its name to World Wrestling Entertainment.

Benoit had maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling. The Fayette County Tax Assessors Office lists the value of the house, situated on more than 8.5 acres, at nearly $900,000.

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.

Benoit's wife 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 a story line on World Championship Wrestling, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Benoit has two other children from a prior relationship.

say it ain't so. . this is like finding your best friend with blood in his hands, and a dead body next to him. he's wearing the evidence, yet you don't want to believe it's true.

yikes, talk about someone else with a bad case of the Mondays.


Posted by Ian on Jun-26-2007 18:45:

according to a very reliable source, chris told them that he'd had an argument with nancy on saturday and struck out at her, which killed her. The force which guys like this hit at, I can believe. He then decided to smother his son to allow him to be with his mother because he didn't want the kid growing up knowing daddy killed mum, then he hung himself in his gym.

While I don't in any way condone what's happened, it is at least feasible. I'm pretty sure most people have at one point in their life struck out at someone else, and when that happens, things can happen that you're not prepared for.

They should've tapped out.
