My cousin is a fulton county sheriff, he's been calling me giving me the details, and they're sure Benoit did the killings, but you know how it goes, they can't say it yet.

tribute to a guy that killed his family, who is the brain behind this.

I doubt they knew at the time when they cancel the show, to do a tribute that it was relayed to them it was a murder suicide.

When I first heard of this I felt sorry for him and his family. I was hoping that murder/suicide wouldn't be the result, but so far it looks like it is. I feel sorry for his family, but I can't believe anyone would kill their own wife and child. This is messed up.

I always find it funny when the cops say something then follow it up with that they still are awaiting further evidence to confirm things.

Why even say anything in the first place when they don't know for sure. It'll save them so much time and possibly embrassment.

Wow, this is really messed up. Benoit always seemed like one of the more grounded, sane wrestlers out there.

That and assuming speculation to be fact. Short of actually being there, we may never know what really happened.

i agree if it is a storyline i will stop watching.

big way to know for sure is tonight show. Does Mcmohon come out and ruin the angle? or stay hidden.

i really really hope its storyline. he was one of my favorite wrestlers.


I had to stop watching years ago b/c well...it just wasn't funny anymore. just became lame after lame after lame...

anyhoo, this sucks--I remember the Canadian Crippler. and his family no less?

Wrestler Chris Benoit, wife and child found dead

By Debbie Newby, Associated Press Writer | June 25, 2007

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. --Pro wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife and 7-year-old son were found slain Monday at their Fayetteville home, authorities said.

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

WAGA reported that investigators believe Benoit killed his wife and son over the weekend, and then himself sometime Monday.

A concerned neighbor called police. The bodies were found in three different rooms.

The lead investigator, Sheriff's Lt. Tommy Pope, told The Associated Press that the deaths were being investigated as homicide, and said the cause of death awaited autopsy results on Tuesday.

Pope said the three were found about 2:30 p.m., but he would release no other details about the deaths at the house in a subdivision near White Water Country Club.

Very strange. I loved Chris Benoit, and agree that he seemed like a level headed guy, for years he's been in it for the love of wrestling, not the fame, and I always respected him for that. But if he killed his wife and kid (speculation), then that's really surprising.

Damn a double murder/suicide.............................I never thought he could ever do that. He seem like a cool guy that loved his family. I want to know wtf happened to cause him to snap. I watched this guy ever since ECW days and I really want to f'n find out why he killed them and then killed himself. I feel bad for Dean Malenko, he lost both Eddie AND Chris, he is without anybody else left in the WWE. I just really want to know what caused him to snap.

He probably realized that all of his money fame and life came from being a soap opera star and flipped out. Its a shame that he killed others before himself.

Wow this really doesn't make sense. I guess I havn't watched wrestling in awhile but Chris always seem to a level headed person. I doubt we'll ever know what snapped to cause him to commit such a horrible act.
