WTF

The WWE just told its talent and released on its web site that Chris Benoit was found dead by Atlanta police.

Benoit, wife Nancy aka Woman and son Daniel were all found dead. We have no other details at this moment.

It's on WWE.com

I can't even watch WM 20 anymore.

For the record, Chris Benoit missed the PPV last night because his best friend and former partner Biff Willington died. I think the two incidents are related somehow.

I'm so sick of this plaque wrestlers have. Every damn week we're reading about somebody dying.

Benoit was the fucking man.

RIP

"Details remain very sketchy regarding the tragic news today that Chris Benoit and his family were found dead at their Atlanta area home.

Benoit had been scheduled to appear on a WWE house show on Saturday. Sources tell us Benoit called to first say he would be taking a later flight, and then to say he would not be attending the house show due to a family illness. According to one source, Benoit said both his wife and son were throwing up blood and he needed to stay to take care of them.

At last night's Vengeance pay-per-view, Benoit was replaced in his match by Johnny Nitro.

No other details are available at this time and police are on the scene at the Benoit residence investigating."

Raw is cancelled tonight, no tribute.

R.I.P.

Incredibly depressing news. Benoit was a class act and a genius in the ring.

RIP

Thank god.

elohim · Post by **elohim** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 8:23 pm

they're doing a 3 hour tribute show of his best moments. but, yeah, i was initially gonna say "i hope they cancel raw tonight." i think it was the right call.

Magneto · Post by **Magneto** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 8:25 pm

Actual RAW is on, it's a Chris Benoit tribute show. Their just showing his best matches and commentary from the wrestlers and highlights from his DVD.

Vince Mcmahon came out to an emoty arena to open the show, so I guess we can say that angle is officially over.

YouTube · Post by **Philaflava** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 8:26 pm

This sucks. I'm watching Benoit beat Big Show in Philly. Dude had heart.

Magneto · Post by **Magneto** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 8:30 pm

They need to acknowledge Woman too. I was watching her back in 88 when she was playing out Rick Steiner.
