Chris Benoit and Family Found Dead in Home

[HOMELESS CAMEL]

Same here. It just makes me sick. I would be willing to wager some sort of addiction was a culprit here and if that is the case the WWE has to put their foot down now. Their joke of a "Wellness Policy" cuts no mustard. How many more "tribute" shows do they have to do before they take a stand against their entertainers and drugs?

 

Just a sad sad situation all around.

 

I agree with you 100 percent, but no matter what policy they instill it's a double edged sword. It's always been a cutthroat business and when you add in big money contracts, tv and PPV's guys will do ANYTHING to keep their spot or get to that certain spot in the pecking order.

 

WWF was to get rid of or start suspending every guy that abused supplements or sterroids, there wouldn't be enough talent left to fill a 2 hour show each week. Just sad the way the business works, but that's the way it is in all sports.

wow this is indeed a shock, could it have been Carbon Monoxide, that was my first guess? Or a gas leak of some kind.

Too sad. I know a couple of people who have met him at a local gym a few times and they said he was an extremely nice person (they don't say this about other wrestlers)...

[C-A-T-S]

They now say they think he killed his wife and kid over the weekend, then himself on Monday, there were also odd text messages that he sent out to people...

I posted that I thought murder from the beginning. But it is sad to see that it was probably Benoit that was the murderer. I hope the crime lab results comes back different because anyone that kills their wife and KID doesn't deserve to be alive anyway. Even with the crime lab results I doubt we'll ever know the truth behind what really happened in the household and why it happened.

The latest I saw was they he strangled his wife and child over the weekend. Probably late Saturday night and early Sunday morning. He sent out some "odd" text messages to close friends. He called into work on Sunday and said he would have to miss because of personal reasons. On Monday, he took care of himself. They were found around 2:00 PM EST on Monday.

Makes you wonder what could have driven him to do this.

Roid rage?

^Very likely....

[UKMustangFan]

If this is the case, it makes the Tribute show last night look like a joke IMO....

[C-A-T-S]

Roid rage?

That is what I said when I first heard...

[98NCCalum]

I mean seriously, what possible other conclusion would one come to to hear he strangled his wife and kid? STRANGLED, are you kidding me?

[All Tell]

Roid rage?

That was my first thought as well.

 

And am I coreect in thinking that his wife was also part of the World Wrestling Sham at one time? If so was she a part of last night's tribute?

Too sad. I know a couple of people who have met him at a local gym a few times and they said he was an extremely nice person (they don't say this about other wrestlers)...

 

 

Gold's Gym in Erlanger and BW3's in Cold Spring were 2 of his consistent stops when they were in town.
