Any idea where this might be streamed online? I've got CNN but its CNN International....

Blue Demon 06-26-2007 02:48 PM

This is all over CNN right now

SammyG 06-26-2007 02:48 PM

On the front page of msn, it's reported that the official ruling has been that he strangled his wife, smothered his kid a day later, then hung himself in his weight room.

I came home this morning from work and was all happy etc as expected. I got into bed and turned my laptop on... am I getting wireless internet from the guy down the road? Nope... no connection right now. No problem I thought. I'll just go to sleep and try again later.

Just then I received to this point probably the most shocking, saddening text message I've ever been sent. My friend texted me with the chilling words: "Dude, Chris Benoit has died".

I jumped out of bed and rushed to my mums computer and had to see if this was true. I sat there for about an hour reading all the posts here, and constantly refreshing WWE.com, hoping for updates.

Anyone that knows me personally, or as a poster, knows that Chris Benoit was my favourite wrestler of all time, ever. Period. I've worshiped the guy for so many years it's unbelieveable. He could literally come to the ring, fart in a paper bag and pop it in his opponents face and I would have called it a five-star technical masterpiece.

Right now I'm still in shock. I couldn't even bring myself to cry because I'm just so numb with shock right now. All day I've been depressed and have been repeating in my head "Chris Benoit is dead". It's just so unreal. Ever since Eddie died, I've always wondered how it would feel when Benoit dies... I just never expected to be discussing it now... so soon.

I'm not here to make assumptions or speculate what happened. Did Benoit kill his son? Did he kill his wife? Did his wife kill them both? Was it a gas leak? I don't know, and I'm not going to come to conclusions until the truth is out. Right now, I'm sad because one of my heroes is no longer with us.

And if he did kill his family? What then? My respect for him will go down, but I'll still idolise him for what he's given us for the past 20 years.

Proven guilty or not, Benoit always has been, and always will be my favourite wrestler.

To Chris Benoit. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for the tears. Thank you for the inspiration.

MSNBC will have the press conference live.

D Mac 06-26-2007 02:49 PM

This was on the front page of CNN:

Authorities also said they are investigating whether steroids may have been a factor in the deaths.

SammyG 06-26-2007 02:50 PM

Turn on CNN, press conference starts in 1 minute. The reporter said they have some very gruesome details.

Nobody's answered me... I wonder if the murders and suicide were pre-meditated or not. I wonder if Benoit had planned to kill his wife and son, or if he just "snapped." I wonder what Benoit was thinking when he killed his son. I wonder if he was afraid that the son would turn him in, or if he didn't want the son to grow up without a mother and father.

Innovator 06-26-2007 02:52 PM

Everyone turn on CNN now

ford fairlane 06-26-2007 02:54 PM

Something has been nagging away at me.If the roster had an idea that chris killed his wife and son,Why would cena edge and chavo all say they love/loved him.

RP 06-26-2007 02:55 PM

Because, contrary to what all of you think, nothing if anything in life is black and white.

SammyG 06-26-2007 02:55 PM

Press conference starting any minute.

I'm not Sigmund fuckin Frued, but I don't know of too many "snapcases" that fly home, kill their wife and son over a 72 hour period while remaining seemingly calm and calling into work.

CNN.com has live feed. But you have to subscribe. :mad:

Felipewcw 06-26-2007 02:56 PM

Regardless if he killed his family they would still love him, they just probably wish he would have sought help or something.

Because they were still coming to grips with what just happened. And it is hard to throw away a 20+ year relationship away in just a day.

Shaggy 06-26-2007 02:57 PM

yea im watching CNN...they keep on saying its coming up but all they are talking about right now is the Oklahoma floods...Paris Hilton getting out of jail...and then everyone few minutes updating the Benoit situation

Astley316 06-26-2007 02:59 PM

For anyone intrested in the UK, the Atlanta Police press confrence into the death, is on sky sports news, starting any minute now

Marc the Smark 06-26-2007 03:00 PM

OK, I can see that the murder of Nancy Benoit was pre-meditated, but maybe the murder of their little boy wasn't. Maybe in Benoit's mind, the boy was better off in heaven with him than left behind with no parents. Maybe Benoit really thought, in his sick mind, that taking the boy's life was an act of mercy. Isn't it possible that Benoit believed that?? Or, do you think he killed the kid just so there wouldn't be anyone to tell police what happened? Of course that's very possible too. What are your thoughts about that?

RP 06-26-2007 03:00 PM

sweet the hot weather lady is back.

SammyG 06-26-2007 03:01 PM

Yeah I know, it's bullshit. Meh, should start any minute now. I doubt we hear anything too bizarre. It's what we have heard probably.

Either A) They didn't know, or B) They're human, and he was a friend?

Innovator 06-26-2007 03:03 PM

the weather girl is pretty hot.

6to1 06-26-2007 03:04 PM

yea you in the uk will get it the same time we do

Theo Dious 06-26-2007 03:05 PM

So, yeah, the Fox News live feed has a continuous picture of the front gate...

Felipewcw 06-26-2007 03:05 PM

For those who want to see it live go to www.yahoo.com, it's free and it seems to be working.

SammyG 06-26-2007 03:06 PM

For FUCK's sake, start it already.

6to1 06-26-2007 03:07 PM

here we go

SammyG 06-26-2007 03:07 PM

It's started, just now.

SammyG 06-26-2007 03:09 PM

Yup. Strangled his wife, a day later strangled his kid, then saturday evening or sunday, hung himself in the basement.

Theo Dious 06-26-2007 03:11 PM

Fuck, when did Benoit have a DUI?

St. Jimmy 06-26-2007 03:12 PM

He killed Nancy on a friday, and then Danial on saturday.... wow... He talked to people (using their timeline) after he killed his family.

St. Jimmy 06-26-2007 03:12 PM

I am in complete disbelief.

Theo Dious 06-26-2007 03:13 PM
