According to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution, this is now being treated as a "murder-suicide".

I wish this was a nightmare. Wrestling has truly lost one of its greatest performers and people ever.

If anyone has a live feed for RAW, it would be appreciated.
I'm in the U.K. at the moment and don't even know where to find it on the television. |

The Journal-Constitution maybe reporting a possible murder-suicide... but WXIA and WAGA-TV are saying police are investigating as a homicide... so right now we don't know which is true.

Id say ECW and Smackdown will either be tribute shows/clips with more guys talking about their Benoit memories.

This is really hard to believe, and it's not really sinking in yet. Benoit was one of the few wrestlers that kept me interested, along with Eddie, Jericho, and some others. When I first started watching wrestling, Benoit was one of the few people in WCW that I wanted to watch, and when he jumped ship with the Radicals, it was one of the biggest markout moments in wrestling for me. When he won the title at WM and celebrated with Eddie it was probably THE biggest markout moment in wrestling for me. He put on some of the best matches ever. His family too? it's insane. I'm not sure I want to know what happened. Somehow this doesn't feel real, even less real than with Eddie.
I will say that as crazy as Vince is, he's handled this really well. I was worried he wouldn't even be on the show and they would keep the death angle running. |

is there any reports on what happened?....were the deaths violent? I know that carbon monoxide poisoning can wipe out an entire family in a house, but I dont think it makes you cough up blood.

Yeah I mean his wife and young son died as well, and he has 2 other kids and his parents and sister. Has WWE ever canceled an event like this other than 9/11?

oly shit...
I hope this is just speculation even on the news side, but... http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/met...625benoit.html Pro wrestler, family found dead in Fayetteville home By Saeed Ahmed, Kathy Jefcoats The Atlanta-Journal Constitution Published on: 06/25/07 A well-known professional wrestler and his family were found dead inside their house in Fayette County Monday afternoon. Authorities confirmed that Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and their 7-year-old son, Daniel, were found dead at the home on Quarters and Redwine roads in Fayetteville about 4 p.m.
Benoit, a 40-year-old Canadian native maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the now-defunct World Championship Wrestling. Most recently, Benoit fought as part of the World Wrestling Entertainment organization. WWE canceled its live show in Corpus Christi Monday night, and its broadcast of "Raw" on the USA Network was a three-hour retrospective on Benoit's career. "Obviously, all sorts of speculation are running rampant but I have talked to so many people and nobody really knows [whether the couple was having marital troubles]," said Bryan Alvarez, who runs Figurefour Weekly, a wrestling newsletter and Web site, from Linwood, Washington. Benoit was scheduled to appear in a pay-per-view title match Sunday night, but was a no-show due to a "family emergency," the WWE said during the broadcast. Benoit's wife, Nancy, managed several wrestlers and went by the stage name, "Woman." They met when her then-husband drew up a script that had them involved in a relationship as part of an ongoing storyline on World Championship Wrestling. Soon after, the two became romantically involved in real life and married, Alvarez said. Benoit has two other children from a prior relationship. |

I find it chilling that when their is an active roster death. (Pillman, Owen, Eddie, Benoit) that it happens on Sunday or Monday.

i know certain types of mold can cause reactions like coughing up blood and so can the poison that termites emit from their bodies when they are in large amounts living in the wall of a home.

I recommend every1 that dont own it to buy Benoits DVD. Wal-Mart has it for only 5-6 bucks now I believe. Its an incredible doc with some amazing matches on it. I am still stunned over this and it will take me quite a while to get over this and I will never forget Benoit.

Gas leak could do it.
Also. ESPN and most news channels and sites have caught on to this. |

I really, truly, can't believe this.

Yeah, it def is the biggest headline of 07, a tragic year for wrestling deaths. (Benoit, Sherri, Ladd, Bad News, Biff, Bam Bam, Awesome, etc) and the year is only half over.

The scary part is when Boone reported last night the family emergency. I posted that I hope everything is ok for the Benoit family.

Chris Benoit was the wrestler that every wrestling fan liked. He could make anyone look like a million dollars. He was the bench mark that told you if the wrestler he was facing that night was any good or not. He could go hold for hold with the best of them. No, I'm not just saying that because he's no longer with us. I've been saying this for at least three years now.
Wathing Raw right now... He made JBL look like a great wrestler, he went hold for hold with Malenko, he made a rookie Burke look like a threat, and all in all one of the best mat wrestlers. Rest in peace Chris, Nancy, and Daniel.... ![]() |
