Wow, that's crazy, I remember Chris Benoit from when I watched WWE/F/whatever in the early '00s. I hated that guy then, but that's so sudden and so... random! I feel for his family (extended family) and friends, fans, and whoever else was affected by this.

When you see stuff like this and Eddie Guerrero and Owen Hart it kind of serves as a reminder that outside the ring, wrestlers are just regular people like the rest of us.

Chris Benoit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wikipedia lists today as his date of death. I was really hoping this wasn't real.

Benoit was one of the better technical wrestlers in the business... Always liked him. Wish I knew more about the death.

They cancelled the live show tonight to do a 3 hour tribute to him.

Nice touch.

Thats insane. I'm not a wrestling fan but anytime something like this happens, it makes people sad. Thats horrible to hear and really unfortunate.

I hope they can figure this out soon.

Really weird situation. Hopefully more comes out soon.

My condolences to his family friends and fans. Really tragic news. Its even more tragic because it involved the death of their kid. I think anytime that happens its bad no matter who you are.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. -- WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife and son were found dead in their Georgia home Monday. Police said they're investigating the deaths as a homicide.
Was thinking Murder suicide or Something with the house raydon gases or carbonmonoxide... That is all that would make sense to me...

Everything coming out now is pointing to a double murder suicide.
