Default Chris Benoit and family found dead
WWE wrestler Chris Benoit and his wife & son were found dead today in thier Atlanta home. No other details have been released. I think this puts the end on Vince McMahon's ridiculous storyline on his demise two weeks ago. The company is really in a bind now with his death.

RIP - Chris "the Rabid Wolverine" Benoit

One of my favorite wrestlers...learned from the Hart family his craft, always entertaining as either a good or bad guy.

Mark, this is terrible! Please keep us posted, I'm in shock right now.
I've been watching Chis Benoit for years, he's one of the best workers the business has ever seen. I need more details, the whole family unreal!
RIP

A huge blow, he's the best pure wrestler they had. For true wrestling fans, not fans of all the glitz, but of the true wrestling, he's one of the finest that's ever stepped in the ring.

Absolutely, trained by the great Stu Hart, he survived his infamous dungeon training style and along with Brett and Owen Hart became a great pure wrestler....tragic! Owen's death during a performance a few years ago and now this!

A friend of mine just told me that she heard it may have been carbon monoxide poisoning, and that he had called off a show recently because his wife and son were both vomiting blood. This is tragic!

He was supposed to wrestle last night on the pay per view, but went back to Atlanta for a family emergency. Very sad and shocking story. He was one of the last "pure" wrestlers left in the business.

They dedicated the entire 3 hours of RAW to Chris tonight...McMahon came out first and said words to the effect that tonight's show was suppose to center around the supposed demise of his "character".. Mr McMahon, but in the real world, the tragic news is that Chris, his wife and son are dead.

I think that's the first time in watching 30 year's of wrestling that I saw a "broke up" Vince McMahon.
Chris's death could turn around his business back to the way it use to be.

At least they don't think it was murder/suicide! That would be a crusher

I would guess that would be the direction they'd start in. Kinda strange that his wife and son were so ill, though...

Damn, I really hoped this was a stupid, classless spinoff of the Vince is dead storyline. RIP Chris, I really feel for guys like Malenko, Jericho, and Chavo that have had to deal with Eddie and now Chris. Wrestling has become the only sport where it is tougher to be a fan than horse racing. Kudos to Vince for having the class to take one on the chin and reveal his whole storyline death was a hoax but this was very real.

That's the first thing I thought...we had one about five miles from my house on Father's Day. Wife shot the husband, then herself in front of 15 year old daughter...tragic
