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!

Default It's.........

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!
