Nalukai Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 This is a travesty to all us fans... he was one of the best technical wrestlers ever..... Apparently he, his wife, wife and 7 year old son were found dead in their home in GA Sunday , he had called WWE and stated that he would not be attending the PPV due to a "family crisis" one of the many links to this can be found here: http://www.slashfilm.com/2007/06/25/chris-benoit-and-family-found-dead/ the cause of death is not being said at this time... but a guy in Internet Infidels that lives in Atlanta said that the local paper said authorities is treating the case as a Murder-Suicide until autopsy reports come back. RIP Chris well all miss you and your determination to give an outstanding performance to your fans.
BongoBob Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Holy f***ing ****. I leave the internet for a weekend, and this happens. Man, this really f***ing sucks. Benoit was one of the best, most entertaining guys they had. First Eddie Guerrero kicks the bucket, and now this? And I missed the RAW tribute episode. This just f***ing sucks RIP Chris
CapNColostomy Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Well, this is a good start. How many of these "athletes" are left now? The real shame, is that he took two people with him, but I suppose when your last name sounds like something people put in their butts, you're subject to do just about anything.

Could you show a little bit of respect, or not post in the thread at all? I mean, I know that alot of people hate wrestling, but no need to disrespect the people that like (or have liked at one point in time) it. I still want to know the full story.
coupes. Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/more/06/25/wrestler.dead.ap/index.html?cnn=yes 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.
Nalukai Posted June 26, 2007 Author Posted June 26, 2007 They had some RAD old school matches last night i missed half of the show but the second have was great tribute show.
swphreak Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 I heard it was a contracted hit because Benoit knew too much about some dark secret. Seriously, wait until the investigation is complete and the results are released. :/
CapNColostomy Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Wow. Could you show a little bit of respect, or not post in the thread at all? I mean, I know that alot of people hate wrestling, but no need to disrespect the people that like (or have liked at one point in time) it. I still want to know the full story. No. I can't show a little bit of respect. I have no respect for A: Large, oiled up, roided out, sweaty, muscular men who make a living wearing womens panties and rolling around on a padded surface with other large, oiled up, roided out, sweaty, muscular men that are also wearing womens panties. Or B: Large, oiled up, roided out, sweaty, muscular men who make a living wearing womens panties and rolling around on a padded surface with other large, oiled up, roided out, sweaty, muscular men that are also wearing womens panties, and kill women and children. Furthermore, I wasn't disrespectful to fans of wrestling. Ever. Wow yourself, and read next time.
BongoBob Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 I still can't believe that he killed them. I mean, I was a fan of him, but I mean, he ****ing killed his son and wife. So, I really can't say RIP anymore. And my apologies capn, I took your post the wrong way.
topshot Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Killing your wife, then your own son that IDOLIZES YOU, and after that taking your own life is sick! Wonder what caused him to snap? If I'm offending anyone with this post, then my apologies.
JKLE_Cougar Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 From what ive heard his son is mentally disabled, and him and his wife got into an arguement over where he should go to school. Also it was rumored he had steroids and they can cause "outbursts" of rage called roid rage something like that could have sparked it and caused him to kill his wife then his son. Now im not saying that it isnt his fault or anything im just saying that somethign like that could have cuased roid rage. it is a Tragedy all togeather no matter what way you look at it cause alot of fans lost a hero, and i cant even imagine what their family is going through right now. my thoughts and prayers go out to their family No matter what respect should be given.
Ray Jones Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Wonder what caused him to snap?Not sure, did he play any games recently?
BongoBob Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/benoitpressrelease 3. Toxicology tests have not even been completed, so there is no current evidence that Benoit even had steroids or any other substance in his body. In that regard, on the last test done on Benoit by WWE's independently administered drug testing program, done on April 10, 2007, Benoit tested negative.
Sabretooth Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 I remember watching WWE when I was a little less mature. Chris Benoit was awesome, it is sad to see him go. Chris had a style about him, quite like poor Eddie. R.I.P. Crossface.
MrWally Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 I was never a fan of wrestling and have never even heard the name "Chris Benoit." But really... to hear news like this. It sounds like the general consensus is that he was a great man who had a tragic downfall, taking the lives of his family with him. Bummer.
JKLE_Cougar Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/benoitpressrelease yes but he was seeing a doctor about steroids they said that he had an order placed in for them
BongoBob Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 But really, is anyone actually shocked that a Wrestler had steroids? I'd be more shocked if they found none.
TiE23 Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Alright guys, break out the Twilight Zone theme... http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,287194,00.html
Nalukai Posted June 30, 2007 Author Posted June 30, 2007 well noone is gonna say anything since owen harts strap mysteriously came undone since there was a quick release embedded in the harness and the top of the pullies.... but same time vince mcmahon has more money to do with other than make things happen..... im not gonna quote some atlanta locals but i think this is further than everyone thinks it is.
CapNColostomy Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 it is a Tragedy all togeather no matter what way you look at it cause alot of fans lost a hero, and i cant even imagine what their family is going through right now. my thoughts and prayers go out to their family No matter what respect should be given. Respect is earned, not given. Flamebaiting, cool it. ~IG-64 "Flamebating?" What? Wow. You found the edit button. Huzzah. Flamebaiting...Sure it was.
JKLE_Cougar Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 well its not right to trash the dead think about it if someone you knew in your family killed someone in a drunk driving accident would you trash them because of that? probably not all im saying is dont post stuff like that it isnt right i know what he did was bad but still
Kurgan Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 Well, this is a good start. How many of these "athletes" are left now? The real shame, is that he took two people with him, but I suppose when your last name sounds like something people put in their butts, you're subject to do just about anything. Ah, if only people say such good things about all of us when we die. After all, what have we accomplished? I realize celebrities are no more important in God's eyes than any other human being and we've all gotta go sometime, but seriously, whaa? At least show some respect for his family, c'mon! Does every death notice need to be greeted with a tough guy "ha ha good riddance" kind of retort? Awhile back there was a fake rumor started that Paris Hilton had been stabbed to death. I know for a fact that if it were true, within hours you'd have people posting cheap jokes about it. If such a thing had happened, even though I can't stand to see her on TV and think she's one of the most annoying spoiled rich celebs ever, I wouldn't gloat over her death or engage in that sort of thing. It's just really tasteless. The same goes for anybody else in the news, famous or not.
