Fuck you Val Venis!

None of us know if this is a work or not, including you.

Who the fuck are you to take something that could not be anymore serious and turn it into an "I told you so"/joke.

If you're looking to get your neg rep up, try another thread you prick.

Benoit had been scheduled to appear on a WWE house show on Saturday.

According to one source, Benoit said both his wife and son were throwing up blood and he needed to stay to take care of them.:'(

If that is true, I really don't know what to think.

I dunno. I'm not letting myself feel right now.

Some guy on Wikipedia's discuss page is claiming to have called Channel 11 Atlanta and they said they checked with police and there is no investigation or news on this. It was an unsigned comment though.

Volchok 06-25-2007 06:58 PM

what are the two scenarios everyone is talking about?

KingofOldSchool 06-25-2007 06:59 PM

Now they've added Benoit pictures and videos on the front page of WWE.com

Corkscrewed 06-25-2007 06:59 PM

so I missed a bunch of good information.

Son and wife coughing up blood? So maybe it was a crazy illness? A virus? Poisoning? WTF?!


RAW page has been changed. This is real, folks. Not a work.

Tazz Dan 06-25-2007 07:00 PM

:'( R.I.P Benoit

Stickman 06-25-2007 07:00 PM

If it was a work, they'd kill him on screen.

Christ. Some sort of disease or something?

1) Murder from someone hitting them all

2) Benoit snaps, kills them then takes his own life.

I hope neither of them are true, but if it had to be either, please let it be number 1.

KingofOldSchool 06-25-2007 07:01 PM

I hate to speculate. But I've got a bad feeling on what MIGHT'VE happened if what was reported about Nancy and Daniel coughing up blood causing Benoit to stay home and take care of them.

MVP 06-25-2007 07:02 PM

Yeah the info about the death angle was taken off Wikipedia

RGWhat316 06-25-2007 07:02 PM

Oh my god, one of my wrestling buddies just called me to tell me about this and I just cannot believe it. What a fn shame this is. Makes you think that his family emergency was this serious. I almost hate to specualte murder or something like that, but I just have no idea what to think right now. I guess if he would have gone ahead with the wrestling, he might be ok, but just wow. R.I.P. Chris.

James Steele 06-25-2007 07:03 PM

I refuse to believe this is real, yet. I dunno why, but I am a fucking Benoit mark and I am holding out until McMahon has his ass out on that ramp in 50 minutes on live television.

Boondock Saint 06-25-2007 07:03 PM

Oh my fucking god. Just heard...oh my god...just...no words...

RIP Chris Benoit and family. :( :'( :'( :'(

Volchok 06-25-2007 07:03 PM

Why would anyone wanna murder Benoit though? Not trying to make light of this subject because honestly I hate to see someone lose their lives but, Cena seems more likely to get a hit on them, then Benoit does.

Corkscrewed 06-25-2007 07:04 PM

Vince Bombing references are gone from the site, although they should prolly take down the "I DID IT" shirt from ShopZone.

Well, the investigation is probably less than an hour old so far, if even that, so if this is for real, which it would be pretty dumb of WWE to pull a stunt like this if it’s revealed to be a work, I say we just let the Atlanta police do their jobs, and have the medical examiner tell us what the probable cause of death was.

Yeah, same.

Don't forget they were only FOUND today, any stories saying if he called them Sunday to say he was no-showing or not?

That is all that is on the RAW page, and it takes you to the blurb.

Mr. JL 06-25-2007 07:05 PM

wow.. wtf

R.I.P. Benoit family

Mr. JL 06-25-2007 07:05 PM

'k... not all of them: http://www.wwe.com/inside/remembering/

I need a live feed for Raw tonight. I'm with Steele's sentiment.

Why the fuck are so many retards checking wikipedia, anyway?

Corkscrewed 06-25-2007 07:07 PM

In 45 minutes, we find out for sure. If Vince walks on stage, a lot of people are gonna lose it.

I've check the sites too, and we'll see what's going on.


Although, yeah, I'm holding onto a shread of hope that this is all a work. Still a shread...

Yeah, it took a couple hours for Eddie news to pop up, as Sascha and I were discussing just now.

It's just...Fuck this is bad timing.

Even the death of a man and his family can't stop KK's insults. FFS.

James Steele 06-25-2007 07:12 PM

I am feeling a lot like I did when Eddie died. I don't understand how I am so attached to a guy I never met. I have only seen him live once. I have been a Benoit mark since I was a little kid watching WCW with my dad.

If it is true, then in 40 minutes we find out for sure what sort of man Vince is.

I hope and pray that he does.

I got the same feeling. I hope it isn't so. I feel like an ass speculating on how someone should die when taken too early, though, it was too damn early for all of them.

And it doesn't make sense for this to be an angle, Val. Now that I'm thinking a bit more clearly, I'm almost certain this isn't a work. It wouldn't make sense. The WWE are reporting Benoit was "found dead." You can't be "found dead" and then come back as a wrestler, all Undertaker jokes aside. If they've killed off Benoit, we'd never see him on WWE TV, again. The WWE haven't even fully come out and said Vince McMahon is dead, because it's something you can't really come back from. The WWE would be reporting Benoit in critical condition, or something, if it were a work.

Savio 06-25-2007 07:14 PM

The only way I could see him and his whole family dying is if there was food poisoning (besides foul play from a family member).

R.I.P. Benoit you will be missed

I don't think so. If Vince led the thing, I think people would appreciate the fact that his death was an angle and this is real. Yeah, it would kill off the Vince=Dead angle but this is a lot more important.

Gerard 06-25-2007 07:15 PM

Last lot of years for wrestling as a whole a lot of big names have passed on. Reading that on wwe.com i just felt numb, i mean last night at the ppv i remember them saying benoit had to go home because of family issues or something along those lines...but christ whoever expected this?



:'(

Mr. Nerfect 06-25-2007 07:16 PM

This is just wrong. It shouldn't happen like this. Benoit was one of those guys that I expected to see sitting in the front row of RAW until he was in his nineties, and coming out on stage with a walking stick for special ceremonies.

As for other guys this must be really hurting, besides those who are known to be close to Benoit (Rey Mysterio, Chavo Guerrero, William Regal and Dean Malenko), you can't overlook MVP, who was a huge fan of Benoit, and even trained under the guy for a while.

Dorkchop 06-25-2007 07:16 PM

It's a weird coincidence that both Chris Benoit, and his best friend Eddie Guerrero, both passed away when they were scheduled to win their second world title in WWE.

Just a coincidence. I really wish this was a sick storyline in WWE, but it's not. I'm not looking forward to the fucktards trying to say this is a work (like they did with Eddie).

KingofOldSchool 06-25-2007 07:18 PM

Well it's being reported now on one of the Atlanta new station websites.

IC Champion 06-25-2007 08:19 PM

R.I.P Chris Benoit.

I myself will burn down Titan Towers should they even think about exploiting this man legacy.
