If he did it, he's a selfish prick! It's sad that wrestlers have been dying left and right. You could thank steriods and whatever else they take for that. You're on the road 365 days a year and not with family. He probably flipped out and went into riod rage. Fuck him if he did this.

Very interesting side note here.....The WWE took off the comment that they know the full details of what happened and they have now pulled all the tribute items off the main page.
Hmmmmmmmm....

Ah...the contrarian stance for the sake of being a contrarian.
At least James is only doing it because he's a fucking moron.

He entertained me. I'd buy his shirt if the WWF would sell me one at a discount.

Yeah, I saw WWE.com is back to business as usual on the page with the main news being about Benoit. I wonder what's going to happen in ECW tonight.

I don't even think Domi's comment will even make anyone mad.
The WWE is handling this as best as they can, given the circumstances. Tom made an interesting point earlier. He thinks they should have shown the matches, but waited given that three people were involved instead of one. With 3 people involved, it does seem possible that this murder/suicide thing could be a possibility.
I don't fault the WWE though. It's just a sad situation. But he will be remembered like OJ.

WWE has pulled all Chris Benoit merchandise from their Shopzone web site. Obviously this was done in reaction to the recent news regarding the Benoit family tragedy. If you search Benoit’s name on the web site, the result that you get is that the products have been “discontinued.”
Benoit’s name has been so far removed on the web site that the listing for the DVD of WrestleMania XX now reads, "Triple H defends his World Heavyweight Championship against Shawn Michaels."

TMZ has learned more about the deaths of WWE wrestling superstar Chris Benoit, his wife and son -- and the information is extremely disturbing. Several Atlanta-based law enforcement sources have told TMZ Benoit may have strangled his wife on Saturday, then smothered his son in his bed a day later. Investigators refuse to officially comment, pending final confirmation by the coroner on the cause and time of the deaths. The source told TMZ that Benoit was texting friends during Sunday's WWE "Vengeance" Pay-Per-View program -- possibly watching the show with his son, who may have been alive at the time. According to sources, Benoit then hanged himself Monday in a weight room inside the family home.

I know I know, I'm just going on whats on the wrestling sites.
Either way I keep seeing details that the District Attorney said when the details come out it's going to be a bit 'bizarre'
I also read that tonights ECW and Smackdown tapings are going to be straight wrestling, and no storyline.

All you cocks who call me an idiot prove my point with OJ. Yeah he's a murderer, and now it seems so is Benoit, but that takes away from the years he busted his ass in the ring? OJ brutally killing his ex, does that take away all the yards he ran? I agree he's a peice of human debris, but in the ring his still oine of the best ever. That's all my point ever was you fucking morons. Now you all can go fuck yourselves for saying EXACTLY what I said then called me an idiot for it. Get the fuck over yourselves. Did he kill your family? It shouldn't matter what he does outside the ring as long as it didn't physically hurt you. He stinks,. he's an asshole, and a bad person. Still one of the best of all time? Bet your ass he is.

Yeah it does take away all the stuff they did. What does that stuff matter if they are murderers? Who gives as shit about how good Benoit wrestles if he killed his son? Once they did that, what they did before them is rendered meaningless. Running with a football and being good at suplexing someone 10 times is pretty trivial, don't you think?
You really think people remember OJ for being a running back?

Yes. It takes away from all the years he busted his ass in the ring. He is not a wrestler anymore. He's a murdering son of a bitch.
OJ is no longer an ex-football player. He's a murdering son of a bitch. His football career is meaningless.

Legally, OJ is responsible for the deaths of his victims. He is liable.
And yes, Benoit is a scumbag.

No, and it's too bad. I'm not saying he's isn't a fucked up person, but OJ did great things on the feild, and Benoit great in the ring. What they do in their personal lives doesn't cheapen the their professional lives where their job was to entertained. Is it too bad Benoit goes out like that, of course, but I'll still remember all the times he made me happy being a wrestling fans cause the reasons I love wrestling is the resons he did it. If he turns up a scumbag I don't love his matches or in ring work any less. the man didn't kill my family, why the fuck should nobodies like us care? Edge, Chavo, Benoits other famly, they gotta live with their friend turned out to be shit, to me whats trivial is shitting on a guys great wrestling legacy cause he killed two people you never met. Why do people care so much about celebs personal lives, it's fucking crazy talk.

I also got this from pwtorch.com, doesn't make what happened any better it's just one possible sceanrio.
"PWTorch.com has learned that one major media entity has received an email purporting to be from a friend of the Chris Benoit extended family saying that Benoit accidentally killed his wife in a domestic argument, then panicked and killed his son later so his son could be with his mother rather than grow up without a mom and knowing his father as a murderer"

It's not too bad that people don't remember OJ as a running back. His legacy is what it should be--a murdering piece of trash who got off by reason of celebrity.
The reason people care because in our society, about oh 5000 years ago give or take, human beings decided that murder is a bad thing to do. If you are a murderer, you are a piece of garbage. It's not something that can be trivialized because you could do a suplex.
If you are a murderer, that's it. That's all you are.
This man murdered his wife and child. A 7 year old.

Authorities conducted a press conference this afternoon regarding the deaths of Chris, Nancy, and Daniel Benoit. Here are highlights from the press conference:
Authorities have ruled the deaths were a result of a murder suicide.
Test results indicate that Chris Benoit killed his wife Nancy "sometime on Friday" and his son Daniel "sometime on Saturday". Test results show that Chris Benoit killed himself sometime "later on Saturday".
A bible was found placed next to the bodies of Nancy and Daniel.
Nancy was found in a family room upstairs. Daniel was found in his bed.
Chris was found hanging in the weight room in the basement.
Authorities found "a lot" of prescription drugs at the scene, including anabolic steroids.
Authorities are aware of only one prior arrest for Chris Benoit, for DUI.
Scott Ballard, the District Attorney handling the case, said he termed the killings "bizarre" because of the timing of the deaths and that he remained in the house for some period of time after killing Nancy and Daniel.
Ballard said, "I'm baffled why anybody would kill a 7 year old baby.
Nancy was bound on her feet and wrists and wrapped in a towel.
Text messages received by friends were received several hours after they were sent, perhaps explaining reports that messages were sent during the day on Sunday

I am by no means as big a wrestling fan as many of you are, but I am very familiar with Benoit.
I'm with the "He's despicable camp." He killed his kid! How many of you here are parents...a few I know of...is there anything in the whole world more inconceivable and horrifying to you than the death of one of your children. Personally, if one of my children died (it REALLY creeps me the fuck out just hypothesizing about it here) I don't even know how I would go on. Take that up a notch and this fucking scumbag actually caused his own child's death...fuck him....he should rot in hell and Vince McMahon should strike his name from every WWF memory...and the other organizations he worked for should follow suit. What an utter classless, useless, pile. The world is better off without this waste. Ohhh, spare me the roids argument too - he chose to take the roids. That's like letting a junkie off with murder because he's a junkie. Fuck that....if it weren't for the awful consequence of losing two innocent bystanders, I'd say the world is a much better place without this asswipe knowing what kind of person he really turned out to be.
Domi reminds me of the punkers in the 80s who wore swastikas or pretended to comprehend and support communism for no other reason than to piss people off. It's very Bohemian of you Domi, but sorry - been there done that - you're about 20 years too late. You crazy rebel, you.
