Jimbo 133 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 WRESTLING legend Chris Benoit and his family have been found dead in their home in Atlanta, Georgia. The star, renowned as the greatest in-ring grappler of his generation, had just turned 40. Chris, his wife Nancy and their son Daniel were all discovered by Atlanta police. It is believed his two other children were in Canada, where Benoit was born and trained as a wrestler. The tragedy follows the early deaths of Chris's best pal Eddie Guerrero, Owen Hart, British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith, Sensational Sherri and many other wrestling stars. According to WWE.com the deaths of the superstar, his wife and son were the result of a 'double murder-suicide' but further details had not yet been released. The site went on to say: "World Wrestling Entertainment is deeply saddened to report that Chris Benoit and his family were found dead in their home. "There are no further details at this time, other than the Benoit family residence is currently being investigated by local authorities. "WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family’s relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy." Chris will always have a place in the heart of wrestling fans worldwide thanks to his classic matches in Japan, ECW, WCW, and especially the WWE. His hug with Eddie at WrestleMania XX was one of wrestling's most memorable moments - and will now never, ever be forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 133 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 Don't take steroids kids. And when did the British Bulldog die? 2002, heart attack due to steroid and growth hormone abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasepud 59 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 At risk of sounding like a pussy like but where in the story does it say he was responsible? Jeez guvnor the entire wrestling world will be down on this thread like a ton of fat men in leotards because you've slandered his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 13919 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 (edited) I suppose one assumes the "double murder-suicide" wasn't carried out by the son, say. It doesn't specifically rule it out though. Edited June 26, 2007 by Meenzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34133 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Sad story but they currently had some sort of storyline going on in the wrestling world where they're pretending one of them is dead. They've now had to hastily cancel that and bring him back from the dead, the fucking wankers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've now had to hastily cancel that and bring him back from the dead, the fucking wankers. Yeah Vince McMahon was apparently blown up in his limo. They even had CNN run with it as well but now due to the real deaths of Chris Benoit they have had to cut that storyline and Vince has apparently come out to say the 3 hour RAW episode will be a tribute to Chris Benoit instead of the McMahon tribute. Couldnt have the head of the company not host this show so it seems they did the right thing and kill one story line for this. Sad day in wrestling. RIP Chris Benoit. Just as he was about to take the ECW Gold as well, which Johnny Nitro took! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
