WWE STAR CHRIS BENOIT, HIS WIFE AND FAMILY FOUND DEAD IN ATLANTA
by Mike Johnson @ 6:04:00 PM on 6/25/2007
We are still awaiting further details, but PWInsider.com is extremely saddened to report that former WWE and WCW World champion Chris Benoit and his wife, former WCW and ECW personality Nancy "Woman" Benoit were both found dead today in Atlanta, Georgia. Obviously this will be a huge developing story in the days to come but at this point, we'd like to express our deepest condolences to the Benoits' family, friends, and fans at this time.
A meeting is currently ongoing at WWE TV and it is expected that tonight's three hour Raw will now be dedicated to Benoit's memory.
6:09 Update: WWE.com issued the following statement this afternoon:
"WWE is sad to report that Chris Benoit and his family have been found dead in their home. Police are currently investigating the cir stances surrounding the deaths. Tonight's Raw will be a tribute to Chris and his family."
I wonder if you could call this karma for the fake Vince McMahon desk.
Thats a really terrible thing to hear, was it just him and his wife? Did they have kids there with them? I havent watched wrestling in about 8 years but out of all the WCW guys back then, Benoit was one of the only ones I liked. Sad stuff
I've only seen two stories on Google News. Nothing from the Atlanta Journal-Cons ution.
First Eddie and Now Chris.
Dont forget Bam Bam Bigelow early this year
Huh?
Don't know what you are talking about, but whatever it is, I don't think karma comes into play for he and his family dying.
who would kill the whole family,sounds fishy
The Vince McMahon limo thing...where he is supposedly dead.
I meant "fake Vince McMahon death."
Apparently, one of the recent storylines has been that Vince McMahon was killed in an explosion.
I just saw this. I'm sooo shocked.
RIP
I wonder if they're gonna drop the "Who killed Vince?" storyline.
says their son Daniel was killed too? WTF??????
Sorry about leaving out Bam Bam . I just meant with Eddie and Chris's history together. Read where it was Him, his wife, and son Daniel
I knew Dawn was a lurker. Too bad it takes a story like this to get her to post.
I try... I need to come here more often...
I heard on Bubba the Love Sponge that two of his three kids were in Canada visitiing relatives. The dead are Benoit, his wife, and one of his children.
OMG!
That's just awful. I wonder what happened inside, whether it was some accident like carbon monoxide or something more serious like murder or murder/suicide.
I'm not a huge wrestling fan, but SFIE used to be, and he got me into it a little bit. It was really fun to watch those guys perform in the ring. Scripted or not, it was amazing to watch them sell it. Benoit was one of my faves and Jason loved his story. Benoit/Angle matches were the best - so graceful and well choreographed.
What a terrible thing.
The !?
Benoit didn't make it to the last PPV because he went home due to some kind of family emergency, now he and his family are found dead? Tragic, but very su ious.
And they had better drop the fake Vince death angle, first Sherri Martel passes away, then Chris Benoit and his family all while Vince's "death" dominates everything WWE.
That's so sad.
Dang, thats horrible.
Benoit was a of a wrestler.
Hopefully everything is kosher and its not suicide, but something less tragic like carbon monoxide or some sort of thing.
RIP Chris and his family. Guy was a of an entertainer, and must be one o a person.
As for Vince, I cant say the same, faking death is just pathetic.
Wow... very shocking. May they rest in piece.
