Wrestler Chris Benoit, family found dead in Atlanta home



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.

Tonight’s Raw on USA Network will serve as a tribute to Chris Benoit and his family. WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family’s relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy.

I haven't watched WWE regularly since Eddie died. And I thought I was crushed then. They'd better drop that retarded "Vince is dead" storyline RIGHT NOW.

ETA: A REAL NEWS SOURCE SINCE NO ONE BELIEVES THE WWE. Way to go, Vince.

ETA #2: His death has been confirmed, so y'all can stop being skeptical now.

Thanks to those who provided links for the above.

He's the only one I liked watching.

Im telling you, this was some sort of "if you dont give us our money, your family will die" type of thing.


RIP MAN :(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Ugh ugh ugh, this is fucking horrible. I am so sad now, I keep remembering how I felt when Owen Hart died at Over the Edge. Horrible. RIP, you total legend.

Oh man, SERIOUSLY. I cried when Owen died.

so sad....
I'm glad Vince had the good taste to come out of the story line tonight and talk about him. So creepy that they were supposed to have a mock memorial for Vince's character tonight and ended up having a real one.

IAWTC. I think that was real classy of Vince.

BTW, I love your Trish icon. The WWE needs more female wrestlers like her.
_girllyzilla 26th-Jun-2007 01:55 am (UTC)
I know I miss Trish.
The woman's division hasn't been the same since she left.

They turned the whole division into mostly T&A. Hard for anyone to take it seriously.

Holy crap.

I can't believe this happened. I used to LOVE him when I embarrassingly used to watch wrestling. Wow. How sad.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution it's being investigated as a murder-suicide. I really hope they're wrong.

Officials were investigating the deaths as a murder-suicide.

RIP Chris. He could pull a great match out of anyone.

Nice to see another Christian Cage fan.
noizangel 26th-Jun-2007 02:05 am (UTC)
In Toronto, you are obligated to be a Christian Cage fan. And that promo with Ric Flair was all kinds of awesome.
