I've been lucky enough to see Benoit on a couple occasions. Including at WCW Mayhem 99, where I got to witness him in not one, but two matches, including the classic against Bret Hart for the WCW Title in the main event. He was walking around the ring before the show started, so the few of us in the sky boxes were screaming out to him, he ended up coming up and signing a bunch of stuff for everyone.

Man...this really f*cking sucks...

Yes, that's true. I was going to say that police deem it as such initially before investigating further, but you beat me to the punch.

Check out this report from yahoo, which was just posted:

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. - WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife, and son were found dead Monday and police said they were investigating the deaths as a murder-suicide.
ADVERTISEMENT

Detective Bo Turner told television station WAGA that the case was being treated as a murder-suicide, but said that couldn't be confirmed until evidence was examined by a crime lab.

The station said that investigators believe the 40-year-old Benoit killed his wife, Nancy, and 7-year-old son, Daniel, over the weekend, then himself on Monday. A neighbor called police, and the bodies were found in three rooms.

Also found here: http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/...t_N.htm?csp=34

But holy frak. How could a man just simply kill his 7 year old son?! That's just insane! Im just glad his 2 other kids weren't there!

I stopped watching when WWE split into Raw and Smackdown, but I remember Chris Benoit fondly. I liked him along with X-Pac the most.....

This seems like something straight outta movie. I guess the man wasn't as mentally strong as he was physically.......

All I can say is....WOW. I'm in utter shock and disbelief about the whole ordeal. What could have lead to such a tragedy? I never would have thought Benoit to be the type of guy to pull that off. I sincerely hope it's not true that he killed his family like that.

I hope that isnt the cause either, but still its a tragic story nonetheless.

We will probably know more tomorrow after the autopsy results.

I can't think of Benoit as a killer this is just so hard to swallow. I hope this clears out.

I can't wait to read the news about them tomorrow.

I hope that it's not true as well man. Chris Benoit is not the type that kills. He's respected by alot of people very much and he loved his family very much as well. He was also one of my favorite wrestlers and one of the greatest as well to step into the WWE ring. We'll see what info occurs next about this case on the news.

How do you know what type of person he is if you know him from his act?

Isn't that like saying Steve Martin would never kill somebody because in Cheaper by the Dozen he was super cool to the kids and seemed really nice?
