I wanted to say this on GAF, but: Grow up! Yeah, it's a bummer and unfortunate and sad, but people are like "MY LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME I AM IN SHOCK AND CRYING I NEED TO GO GET WWE DVDS :(".
-
ITS STILL REAL TO ME DAMMIT
I love that video.
-
Benoit is dead?!?! WTF?? :'(
Did they say what happened to him? This is awful AND it makes the Vince McMahon "death" angle look even worse.
EDIT: Benoit and his family were all found dead in their home. Terrible.
-
So RAW has been cancelled and they're just going to be showing clips of Benoit in tribute; too many wrestlers are too broken up to even go on camera and express their condolences, much less wrestle.
Apparently Benoit missed the pay-per-view show on sunday because his wife and kid were coughing up blood, and now they're all dead. One site that there may have been a gun involved; some people think that his wife and kid died and then Benoit shot himself afterward.
I just hope even the tasteless WWE realizes that this death angle is fucking wrong and stops it. Two people have died since it began.
-
Wow, that's pretty terrible.

So? What's the difference from people STILL to this day getting teary eyed when JFK died? Or how any baseball/basketball/football player dies?

kurt vonnegut, one of the greatest american novelists, dies, and gaf sputters out a weak obituary.

Chris Benoit died? :(
-
If it was another wrestler ODing on painkillers or overexerting himself, I wouldn't give a shit, but the whole circumstances of his death (and his family, too) are pretty fucked up.

It's horribly sad that this guy and his family passed away, but it is also pretty interesting to see the intellectual priorities of your average GAFer.
-
i'm not saying it isn't sad, tiesto, and i agree: it's fucked up. i'm talking about the gaf's priorities when it comes to grief, and who their heroes are.
-
There is no way one of my favourite wrestlers killed his family and then himself. Obviously he found them already murdered and then commited suicide because of the grief [/gaf]

So true and if you said that on gaf you'd be banned.
Well, maybe not you, but if I said that on gaf I'd be banned.
edit: To be fair, Vonnegut had lived a long life, and as such his death was neither as shocking nor tragic. His loss though, was immeasurable compared to that of Benoit however, obviously.

Hehe.
I read the article over at CNN and started wondering about a mercy killing, actually.

I'm hearing its a murder suicide, if that is the case, well i cant say i am shocked, i feel sorry for his wife and son, but if he killed his wife and son, well i dont feel sorry for him, his actions. However, i feel bad for him, because the devil tricked him and he fell for the devils tricks.
So whatever the case, if he kill his wife and son, he was a damn fool. :maf

ive only read one of his stories
-
So it is double murder suicide. Another fucking media circus.
-
I think this is what happened:
He was wrestling with his son, when Chris Benoit went crazy and thought his son Dave was David Flair, Ric Flairs son, so he puts him in a Crossface and pulls a little too tight snappin the lil' guys neck.
Realizing what he does, he panicks and runs into the kitchen. He see's his wife making some sweet apple pie, and decides to not tell her but instead give her the 3 Suplexes from hell. Since she is a women and inferior, this kills her. He then realizes what he does and gives himself a tombstone piledriver while Jim Ross is outside screaming "AWMAHGAWD!"
-
Sooo, WWE just had a three hour tribute to a man who most likely murdered his wife and child? Classy.
-
Boogie, what do you think will happen when MMA has it's first 'accident'?
-
I'm officially desensitized. I just got done laughing for at least 15 minutes at this whole tragedy in IRC. Me copy and pasting MyNameIsMethodis's story jump started it all.

Remember when the Giant got pushed off that stadium when in WCW and came back later that night with like just a band aid?

WORD.
This is actually making me feel good. I really liked Benoit so it came off as a shock. :( But man, total respect - 1000 if it's true he killed his family.
-
FUCK. When I reformatted my laptop and reinstalled IRC, I forgot to enable logging. Thank god I copied and pasted the good stuff into here.

Yeah I hate that shit. Logs should be enabled by default.

Vonnegut's a "hero?" Hur?

I think Paris Hilton did it.
-
Vonnegut's a "hero?" Hur?
Uh... moreso than anyone involved in wrestling, yeah. And I have, from time to time, enjoyed wrestling myself.
-
I just think it's a stretch to call anyone a hero for writing stories, regardless of their level of technical skill.
You could make an argument for someone like Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn being a hero, but that's not really based on artistic achievement.
-

I don't. A great story can last for ages. I think anyone who can create great timeless art is worthy of hero status.

You fucker stole my idea :(
-
Bret Hart > Chris Benoit
Bret Hart never killed his family.
-
You don't know that.
He could have rigged Owen's safety harness.
-
Man I shouldn't have read your post while still sleepy, I thought you said "He could have niggered Owens safety harness." and I felt terrible and was going to scold you :(
-
You fucker stole my idea :(
I told them it wasn't my story. ;)
-
You don't know that.
He could have rigged Owen's safety harness.
He was too busy planning Davey Boy Smith's "heart attack".
-
That IRC stuff was hilarious.
-
Well, I got a ban in that Benoit thread.
You would think that wrestling fans would have built up some kind of immunity to these kinds of stories, since they seem to happen every 6 months for the past 12 years. But, no, some are still the oversensitive 12 yr old boys that fawn and swoon over their every move.

Is there a better heel than Toxic Adam?
-
he was one of my favourites together with older ones like goldberg, the sting (wcw :bow) and the giant.
i remember those goldberg matches. everybody would chant GOLDBEEEERRRGGG GOLDBEERRGGGG and he would come in and the other guy in under 30seconds :lol
goldberg :bow

Nevermind. Fuck you people

You know, I always figured Scott Steiner would do something like this eventually, though I guess there's still time.

Nevermind. Fuck you people
POOR WRASSLIN' BOOHOO
And because I caught before the edit: double murder/suicide was the initial suspicition stemming from the news stories, dipshit. It isn't like everyone is inventing things like, you know, carbon monoxide poisoning. :lol

Boogie, what do you think will happen when MMA has it's first 'accident'?
What do you mean?
If someone ever dies in a sanctioned MMA match, I'm sure there will be a huge backlash, but I hope it wouldn't seriously derail the sport, considering the deaths boxing incurs.
-
Speaking of Kanyon, he almost killed himself a few times. I think he was even hospitalized for a short period. He posts over at the Howard Stern message board quite often.
Damn, I need to find a new avy. Schneider it will be.

Not really, I can never fully commit to a character. There is still a small piece of me that wants to be liked.

People die. Jesus fukin christ.

Yes, but they tend not to take their wife and son with them. :P
-
Oh fuck no! All signs point that he actually murdered his family...
-- LATEST NEWS ON BENOIT: An autopsy will be performed on Chris, Nancy, and Daniel this morning, with the results to follow possibly as early as tonight. The investigators that were interviewed for the AP article on the circumstances of the death did not tell the condition of the bodies or possible cause of death, but the police story being told to sources is that Nancy was killed first on Saturday, then Daniel on Sunday, and then Benoit killed himself on Monday after sending the "curious text messages" to his inner circle of friends in WWE. The situation is being handled as a homicide and WWE has announced it as "double murder-suicide".
I was so wrong :(

People get crazy then they die. Jesus christ! :P

Yeah, I stumbled over some Kanyon info looking for a good picture. I was way more surprised at him being openly gay than I was at him having attempted suicide. Didn't see him on my gaydar. Cena, Orton, or really any of Vince's oiled-up playthings, sure, but Kanyon?
MAF: People post. Jesus fukin christ.

Read this in the metafilter forums:
A Cousin of a GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigations) has heard in his circle is that Chris Benoit's wife killed their son Daniel, called Chris and told him to rush home because of an emergency which is why he missed last Sunday's Vengeance PPV. Upon arriving home Benoit killed his wife in a rage for the death of his son and then killed himself Monday morning. His wife's body was found in the master bedroom, strangled with the cord from an alarm clock. The son's body was found in his room apparently suffocated with a garbage bag. Chris then wrote a suicide note explaining what had happened, apologized to his family, his other children (from a separate relationship), and his fans. He then fashioned a slip-knot noose from from rope taken from the garage and hung himself from the banister in the foyer of his suburban Atlanta home.

That's pretty much junk. It was stated that Benoit was found in his weight room, not in the foyer.

I don't watch wrestling. Well, I did as a kid. Just following this story out of some morbid curiosity. That, and having too much free time on my hands. :-\
-
So why did Benoit murder his family?
-
I was a wrestling fan from 83-88 and then again from 1995-2000. I really have too much knowledge of the sport, kind of killed my enjoyment for it. It makes me laugh when I see guys who still play video games, read comics or collect action figures make fun of guys who watch pro wrestling. It's all the same thing, all of us are holding onto something we enjoyed as children so we can still feel young in some ways.
But, I really don't understand people that still follow it during the lean years. Pro wrestling is unwatchable when it's bad. They must be sado-masochists or they are such creatures of habit that they can't break away.
The only sad wrestling fans are people like Outcast2004 ... who actually deify these people and pretend like they "know" them. Scary individual right there.

I don't know, people getting banned b/c they're not showing the proper amount of respect for a wrassler who probably killed his family.... that's kinda sad too.

It's funny, I read threads all the time where people make fun of people that die in unfortunate circumstances or murderers that get their just due. Just because a guy was good at his job and entertained millions doesn't make him any better.

The level of cognitive dissonance going on in that GAF thread is insane. They're a half-step away from trotting out mind control by En Sabah Nur as an explanation for Saint Benoit's murderous deeds.

It'd be great if O.J. Simspon was a wrestler. They'd be like, "Hey, he was a complicated guy and was obviously provoked. His wife probably cheated on him and think of all the drugs shoved down his throat!"

Kind of falls in line with what I said last night in the GAF thread an hour after it happened. She probably threatened to leave him (and take the kid). He snaps and kills her. Then spends the night thinking about what he did and decides he's going to kill himself then spend his life in jail. Then he thinks about how this will effect his son and decides his son is better off dead also.
He had enough time, I wonder if he left a suicide note/video?

I didnt even know bam bam and mike awesome died, thats a shame :'(

how can any grown man over the age of 7 find wrestling entertaining?
ok Ill take the bait.
Basically I started watching wrestling back when I was 6 (when hogan and macho man were a tag team). And since then I just liked it, I dont think I ever really believed it was "real" because I remember when Connie Chung "broke" the news in 1990 that it wasn't, I wasnt like OMGWTF!!.
Now since im 25 now I dont watch it as much as I used to, infact the early 90s I didnt watch much... but when razor ramon, diesel etc were new I got back into it. Then the whole "Monday Night Wars" started and it was like a crack laced soap opera for men for years (what will wcw do? what will happen on wwf this week!?).
Yeah it sounds stupid but thats how I view wrestling, its a male soap opera. And to me its no different suspending disbelief when I watch it, than when people think that keifer sutherland is living the most exciting week known to man killing terrorists (note I dont watch 24, so im sorry if I got that wrong).
Now I'm not saying ITS STILL REAL TO ME, its just I treat it like a show or a movie. I dont watch LOTR and go LOL viggo is hitting them with a rubber sword lol, I try and enjoy it for what it is, and unfortunately lately all wrestling is, is SHIT.
-
Atleast we're not grown men watching cartoons made for 10 year olds.
-
Chris Benoit killed his son and wife, and this dude is getting attention as in a celebration hahaha, you silly people.
Note: I'm not talking about y'all, just watching various news channels and people is really giving this dude respect.
I love chris, because i love everyone, but the choice he made was a wrong one and by that, i will not " show any love or support for him ".
My only concern is for his wife and son, RIP. :(
