Rest in peace Crippler, Nancy, & Daniel.  We loved you.

Well, we are all mixed with emotion. I would like to say that WWE and Vince have pushed storylines that are not "old school". But to not know the difference between tongue in cheek "death" and legit news makes me more worried about some of you more than anything Vince and Co. will ever cook up. Vince never would push "dead children" and such. He put some little feds out of business 20 years ago and now he is mentioned in the same breath as Charles Manson and Hitler. The focus is Benoit and Woman and Sherri all dying with a week or so of each other , not let's knock Vince because he planned a death storyline and it happened to unfold this of all times. Didn't they "kill" The Giant at Halloween Havoc 1995? Isn't Undertaker a "Deadman" , Yes , it's entertainment and flipping the channels tonight you will find CSI and Law and Order and 10 movies on HBO about murder and dead bodies and violence. What's amazing is as we see our heros fall to steroids and pain killers there is no cry for anything other than more muscle , more bumps , entertain me dammit and if you die before 35 at least I got my moneys worth!

he might not push "dead children" but he sure will push helmsley screwing a long dead corpse in a coffin and people like you can call that "entertainment".  
take your psycho analyzing elsewhere until you look in the mirror.
you defend everything the WWE does, and then question me (and others) and our mental state while you accept what they promote? you need to realize, as somewhat accurate as your comments about other tv shows and movies may be, THEY ARE NOT PRESENTED AS REAL LIFE, they are presented as stories. regardless of what ERA of wrestling we are talking about, it has always been presented as REAL. that makes it different than the other stuff on tv and movies.
and you think it's wrong that i question a death that AT THE TIME i could not find evidence of after i DID research for said evidence other than a WWE source..you need to check out how you can not question the act of necrophilia and still support that which portrays it. now that..that is sick. so must be any that support it.

Sir , I know we go back and forth. But Vince took the stand and said wrestling wasn't real years ago to avoid paying sporting event taxes. Also , with Tough Enough and all that stuff showing us how they learn to take bumps and stuff there is no way it has been pushed as real for quite some time. I mean random sets of wrestlers on Family Feud back in the early 90's with WCW rivals Rude and Sting on the same team up to "Weakest Link" with ECW/WCW and WWE people all on the same team have long proved and shown it's a work. Every WWE DVD starts with "yes , this is entertainment , but the hazards are real". Outside of Goldberg saying , "I don't know about anyone else , but my matches are real" has anyone said that in the last 20 years? How about Foley , Show , and HHH all sitting together in the crowd while Rock hosted SNL on week before Mania 16? We both love wrestling and yeah it's different eras , but Vince has never pushed it as real. And as soon as something  "real" happens we pray Vince is writing a storyline of Benoit being a killer because we can't face the truth

tonight was the first time i have watched RAW in at least 4 or 5 years, i can't accurately recall. ONLY because it appears that the deaths is to be accurately true and that the Benoit legacy MIGHT be remembered with some honour.  
i don't watch the garbage, but I CAN READ. i read up on what happens on different wrestling sites and the WON. i know what's going on without giving the WWE any of my money, tv ratings, or anything else. i know about past storylines and stuff BECAUSE i read about it, and really, i skim through most of it. unless it's a reall stupid thing like necrophilia, then i slowly read the idiocy to make sure i am reading it correctly.
i don't have to be a closet fan to know what's going on. i also don't live to bash vince. i have to commend him for his performance on RAW tonight. the whole set up and everything was done extremely well. the only complaint i have is the lack of remembering Nancy. being as they have what tapes there are from CWF and WCW, they have plenty of tapes to have honoured her career more than they did. but that's a minor complaint.

Just as I expected, Benoit's a murderer and whacked a kid.......so much for him being a "legend" and a "class act". I'm sorry, but neither of those does something like this. I stand firm on what I've just said.  
 
 
 
More On Benoit: Text Messages Before Death, & More
 
06/26/2007 by Ryan Clark  
 
The following is from WWE.com:  
 
According to lead investigator Lt. Tommy Pope, of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department, in Fayetteville, Ga., the deaths of WWE Superstar Chris Benoit, wife Nancy and son Daniel were the result of a double murder-suicide, WWE.com has learned.  
 
Benoit failed to appear both at Saturday’s live event in Beaumont, Tx., and WWE’s Vengeance: Night of Champions in Houston Sunday night, after informing WWE of a family emergency. Several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning prompted concerned friends to alert Richard Hering, VP of Government Relations for WWE, Inc. Hering, in turn, spoke with Fayette County sheriffs Monday, and requested that they respond to the Benoit residence to check on him and his family.  
 
Authorities representing the Sheriff’s Department initially had a difficult time entering Benoit’s new Fayetteville home Monday afternoon, which had been guarded by two large German Shepherds roaming freely around the property. Once authorities entered the residence, they quickly located the bodies of Benoit, Nancy and Daniel. WWE was notified of the discovery at approximately 4 p.m.  
 
At 10 p.m. Monday night, Lt. Pope held a press conference in conjunction with Scott Ballard, the district attorney for Fayette County. The press conference officially ruled authorities’ findings as a double murder-suicide from within the home.  
 
WAGA, a FOX-owned and operated television station in Atlanta, reported that investigators believe Benoit killed his wife and 7-year-old son over the weekend, then himself on Monday. The three bodies have been received by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s crime lab, in Decatur, Ga., where autopsies will be performed Tuesday morning. Toxicology reports will not become available for at least two weeks.  
 
WWE.com has further information relating to both the investigation and the cause of death, but the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department has requested that WWE.com not release any additional details at this time.
 

Only thing is that there are some reports also, that possibly Nancy killed their son and Benoit killed Nancy in a rage, then himself.
 
Nothing in this entire story makes sense, and it's so bizarre.
 
I don't know who to belive but hope that the press conference this afternoon clears some thing up.
 
I'm just in shock right now, and don't know what to make of all this.

This is becoming more tragic. Both TMZ.com and the Associated Press are releasing more information in the case. They are attributing it to unnamed law enforcement sources.
 
-TMZ.com says their law enforcement sources tell them they beleive Benoit may have strangled his wife on Saturday.  They think he smothered his son on Sunday.  
 
One source says Benoit sent friends text messages during Sunday's PPV, and might have been watching the show with his son before allegedly killing him.
 
The sources say Benoit hung himself in the home's weight room on Monday.

Courtesy of the Associate Press:
 
ATLANTA (AP) -- 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.
 
Authorities also said they are investigating whether steroids may have been a factor in the deaths of Benoit, his wife and their 7-year-old son. Steroid abuse has been linked to depression, paranoia, and aggressive behavior or angry outbursts known as "roid rage."
 
"We don't know yet. That's one of the things we'll be looking at," said Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard. He said test results may not be back for weeks.
 
Autopsies were scheduled Tuesday by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
 
Authorities were investigating the deaths at a secluded Fayette County home as a murder-suicide and were not seeking any suspects. The official who described the manner of death spoke on the condition of anonymity because the information was to be released at a news conference later Tuesday.
 
Investigators believe Benoit (pronounced ben-WAH) killed his wife, 43-year-old Nancy, and son Daniel during the weekend and then himself Monday. The bodies were found Monday afternoon in three separate rooms of the house, off a gravel road about two miles from the Whitewater Country Club.
 
Fayette County Coroner C.J. Mowell did not return calls seeking comment. The answering service for his funeral home said he was out of town.
 
Asked about the condition of the interior of the house, sheriff's Sgt. Keith Whiteside said investigators found "nothing really out of the ordinary." He said Benoit was found in the home's weight room, his wife in an office and the son in an upstairs bedroom.

i know very little of Nancy as the Fallen Angel. i have seen a just bit on tape from that time period. mostly what i have seen, was still photos in the magazines back then. and she was very hot.  
the Robin Greene angle..priceless. she played that role to perfection. and ya gotta admit...so did Rick Steiner. the "date" they had on the saturday night show was one of the best things i can recall from the time period.
Woman..didn't thrill me one bit. it got old to me real quick.

This just in from the Atlanta Journal Constitution:      
 
Police: Benoit killed wife, son, left Bibles by their bodies
 
Superstar wrestler's wife had once claimed abuse, filed for divorce
 
By SAEED AHMED, KATHY JEFCOATS, S.A. REID
The Atlanta-Journal Constitution
 
Published on: 06/25/07
 
Superstar wrestler Chris Benoit allegedly strangled his wife and child to death, and left Bibles beside each body, authorities said at a Tuesday afternoon press conference. Then, a day later, he killed himself in his weight room.
 
Outside of Benoit's home, Fayette County Sheriff's Lt. Tommy Pope said deputies went to check on Benoit after his employer told them that he missed some out-of-state "engagements."
 
Benoit on Friday had strangled his wife, police said.
 
Police said they are still looking for a motive.
 
Nancy Benoit was found dead in an upstairs family room, wrapped in a towel, her wrists and feet bound. A Bible was placed beside her, said District Attorney Scott Ballard.
 
A few hours later, probably Saturday morning, Benoit did the same to his son, strangling him to death as well. The son, Daniel, 7, was found in his bed. Authorities do not know whether he was asleep when he was strangled.
 
And then sometime late Saturday – several hours later, but no more than a day -- he committed suicide by hanging himself in the basement weight room, authorities said. He used the cords on weights attached to pulleys to kill himself.
 
He did not leave behind a suicide note.
 
Pope said deputies had not been called to the house on any domestic calls in the past. He did not know if the couple was in the process of a divorce.
 
Authorities found some steroids in the house. "There were some prescription medications ... that we believe at this time were legal," Pope said.
 
Pope said Benoit had text messaged a co-worker, who received it several hours after it was sent. Pope did not elaborate on the content of the message.
 
Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard said, "I don't think we'll ever be able to wrap around minds around this completely."
 
Ballard said he knew very little about the divorce petition that Benoit's wife, Nancy, filed in May 2003. She later withdrew it in August 2003, Ballard said.
 
"I think we are pretty confident it was a murder-suicide," Ballard said.
 
Toxicology results from the autopsies will take weeks.
 
The couple and their 7-year-old son were found dead Monday in their home on Green Meadow Lane just east of Peachtree City.
 
The couple had lived together since 1997 and were married in 2000.
 
When Nancy Benoit, 43, a wrestling manager who worked under the stage name "Woman," filed for divorce in May 2003, she alleged in an accompanying petition for protection from domestic abuse, that she was intimidated by threats of violence from her 40-year-old, 5-foot-10, 220-pound husband, who was known as the "Canadian Crippler."
 
Benoit, the petition said, "lost his temper and threatened to strike the petitioner and cause extensive damage to the home and personal belongings of the parties, including furniture and furnishings. Petitioner is in reasonable fear for petitioner's own safety and that of the minor child."
 
In another count, she claimed Benoit had destroyed furniture in the home.
 
On May 12, 2003, the same day the divorce and protective order petitions were submitted, a judge issued a restraining order against the wrestler and barred him from the family home.
 
On Aug. 19, 2003, Nancy Benoit filed to have the divorce and protective petitions dismissed, and both were.
 
Benoit's employer, World Wrestling Entertainment, said on its Website Tuesday that Benoit had sent "several curious text messages" to friends, but police on Tuesday said they had identified only the one.
 
Authorities initially had trouble getting to the home because of two large German shepherds on the property, the WWE said.
 
Sheriff's deputies were standing guard at the home on Tuesday morning, keeping back the media and the curious.
 
Benoit failed to appear at Saturday's live wrestling event in Beaumont, Texas., and at WWE's "Vengeance: Night of Champions" in Houston Sunday night. WWE then said Benoit had a "family emergency."
 
As news of the death's spread, the wrestling blogosphere erupted in disbelief.
 
"Obviously, all sorts of speculation are running rampant but I have talked to so many people and nobody really knows," said Bryan Alvarez, who runs Figurefour Weekly, a wrestling newsletter and Web site, from Linwood, Wash.
 
The WWE issued a statement Monday night:
 
"Chris was beloved among his fellow Superstars, and was a favorite among WWE fans for his unbelievable athleticism and wrestling ability. He always took great pride in his performance, and always showed respect for the business he loved, for his peers and towards his fans. This is a terrible tragedy and an unbearable loss. WWE extends its sincere condolences and prayers to the Benoit family and loved ones in this time of tragedy."
 
A native of Canada, Benoit maintained a residence in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the now-defunct Ted Turner-owned World Championship Wrestling organization.
 
He began his career in Calgary more than 20 years ago and had wrestled in Japan before moving back to North America.
 
While working in Atlanta with WCW, he met his future wife.
 
At the time, her then-husband drew up a script that had the couple involved in a relationship as part of an ongoing storyline.
 
Soon after, the two became romantically involved in real life and married. Benoit has two other children from a prior relationship.
 
He joined WWE in 2000, and four years later, won its world heavyweight championship.
 
The family had moved into the Peachtree City neighborhood last summer, said neighbor Alaina Jones.
 
None of the neighbors recalled seeing police at the house before. Monday night, about half a dozen cars idled on the circular driveway. Deputies stood guard outside the wrought-iron gates of the residence. A car full of youngsters who stopped to gawk at the scene were pulled out by deputies, frisked and sent on their way.
 
The Monday night broadcast of WWE's "Raw" on the USA Network was supposed to have been a who-dunit into the "death" of Chairman Vince McMahon, whose limousine burst into a fiery explosion moments after he stepped into it after a bout in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., two weeks ago.
 
The organization scrapped the storyline following Benoit's death, and instead televised a three-hour retrospective on Benoit's career.
 
 
 
 

Yeah but those guys just killed themselves, not a 7 year old kid. And the first person who says Roid Rage did it and he wasn't responsible, well I am going to just stare at you. With the time line laid out, he planned this, he knew exactly what he was doing, and that is f###ed PERIOD. He killed a 7 year old kid for no reason, and that will never wash with me.  
 
 Vince, Steroids, Alchool, ninjas, nor space aliens had anything to do with this. Chris Benoit, a man who was five foot ten inches tall killed a 7 year old buy by suffocating him with a plastic bag, hours after tying up his mother, strangling her and wrapping her in a towel. Then after doing this he stayed in the house for a few hours, text messaged someone the killed himself.  For that  I hope to God he is never mentioned again.
