[Tyguy]

[mastag]

His FAMILY?! I liked wrestling once upon a time, he was one of my favs. Wasn't he best friends with Eddie Guerrerro?

 

[Shift]

Ah i remember him, his entire family?? Wtf happened?!

 

[Shamrock]

Ah i remember him, his entire family?? Wtf happened?!

Bad meatloaf.

 

[Qonfused]

The Crippler.

 

[Ren.182]

Wow :| I remember his name but I dont recall the face.

But damn that sucks.

 

[Lucid]

His whole family?... How the hell.

 

[co05]

What's with these Pro-Wrestlers and dying?

 

[OmegaX]

Hmm is this like the Vince Mcmahon story?

 

[mastag]

I had hope that this was fake, it now seems otherwise.

 

[AKIRA]

No, it's real

 

[AJ Rimmer]

Oh damn. Can't say I knew who he was other than I sort of recalled his name and face from some wrestling show somewhere, but his family too? That really sucks.

 

[JNightshade]

Apparently, he didn't know not to eat what The Rock was cooking D:

 

[Vegeta897]

How terrible.

 

[Lucid]

Apparently, he didn't know not to eat what The Rock was cooking D:

Looks like he's going to need an Undertaker.

[Qonfused]

I guess he didn't John Cena what was coming.

 

[ZeroPointGun]

I looked it up on Wikipedia, his birth and his death date are there so it's true. With the Vince McMahon thing his death date isn't there. (We all knew that though)

haha wtf..

 

[ZeroPointGun]

Wasn't he best friends with Eddie Guerrerro?

Here's your answer:

Benoit became good friends with Eddie Guerrero following a match in Japan, when he utilized an Enzuigiri kick, and knocked him out cold, starting a friendship that lasted until Eddie's death. In the years that followed, Benoit started using the Rolling German suplex technique known as the Three Amigos as a tribute to his friend.

Wikipedia can be edited by anyone instantly numbnuts :thumbs:

Other news sites outside WWE fansites are reporting it now so it must be true.

I remember Benoit from that amazing N64 game WCW vs NWO.

 

[ZeroPointGun]

I know that but it's not often that they edit the birth and death dates.

 

[hool10]

I hate wrestling but I mean the guy lost his life and his family. Family comes before money always and anything else. I suspect suicide.

 

[ZeroPointGun]

I doubt it, he was in the prime of his career, what reason would he have to commit suicide? Also that doesn't explain how his wife and son died.

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

I think I read he called in saying his family was like spitting up blood or something, so maybe CO poisoning?

 

[AKIRA]

yea i heard somewhre that the night before he couldn't attend Vengeance cuz he had to rush home due to a family emergency..n that was last night so i dunno

 

[OmegaX]

NBC affiliate WXIA-TV out of Atlanta, Georgia is reporting that the deaths of the Benoit family are being investigated as a double murder-suicide. A source from the Atlanta media is saying that Benoit is being looked at as the probable perpetrator, and that his wife Nancy and his son may have been dead before today. Autopsies on Tuesday morning will help pinpoint the causes and times of death.

Guess he couldn't attend the Vengeance PPV because he was too busy killing his family. That's pretty sad if true.

 

[A True Canadian]

He was my favorite back when I was still watching the show.

This sounds very much like how we lost Phil Hartman.

 

[Doppelgofer]

MURRRRRDEEERRRRR!!!

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

Some people are saying it was a homicide/suicide by Benoit.

Hmm

 

[ZeroPointGun]

Yeah that's what WWE.com and Wikipedia.org are saying. Double murder-suicide. They don't say who was the murderer though.

 

[Krynn72]

It was Vince. He made it look like a murder suicide, but since hes dead nobody can catch him!

 

[mastag]

If Benoit did murder his family, that Monday night Raw! tribute show doesn't look very good in retrospect. Everyone at WWE seemed to love the guy.

 

[Krynn72]

IT's STILL REAL TO ME DAMNIT!

 

[DEATHMASTER]

weapon was found at scene according to wiki update...no specifics.

 

[Jintor]

What in hell's name?

 

[ZeroPointGun]

Apparently Benoit murdered his wife and son sometime on the weekend and proceeded to commit suicide sometime on Monday.

 

[bam23]

I don't know what to say yet.

 

[ZeroPointGun]

I am shocked and amazed.

 

[Adabiviak]

Looks like he's going to need an Undertaker.

lol I see his mug on one of our slot machines, but otherwise have never heard of him. While the Undertaker quip was hilarious and I don't know the full details of the event, it's still a bummer.
