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.

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.

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

Post by: MyNameIsMethodis on June 25, 2007, 11:51:02 PM
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!"

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".

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?

He likes the 'oiled up playthings'. Deep down, that is why every wrestling fan watches. ADMIT IT!

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.

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.




Avcables got banned too, we were laughing our asses off over AIM.

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.

A law enforcement official close to the investigation tells The Associated Press that pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son before hanging himself in his weight room.

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?

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.

 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.  :(
