Chris Benoit and family found dead

[Seattleallstar]

this is a ****ing blow to the wrestling world, he was probably one of the best wrestlers left in the industry

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.

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

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

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.

Hopefully this will turn the company back in the right direction and become a "wrestling show" again...it would be a great tribute to Chris.

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.

Edge was heartbroke.
