Chris Benoit & family found dead....
REPORTS say Chris Benoit, one of TV wrestling's leading personalities, and his family have been found dead in their home.
The bodies of Benoit, his wife Nancy, and their young son were found after the wrestler missed an engagement to attend to a "family crisis", according
to TMZ.com.
Police are investigating the scene.
The official WWE website reported the deaths and said the upcoming episode of Raw would serve as a tribute to Benoit.

I read about this an hour ago and I'm still in shock. One of the best wrestlers of all time and one of the few reasons to still watch WWE. It's
always the greats that die too young.

Canadian wrestler Benoit, family found dead
Updated Mon. Jun. 25 2007 8:05 PM ET
Associated Press
STAMFORD, Conn. -- Canadian pro wrestler Chris Benoit has been found dead at his suburban Atlanta home along with his wife Nancy and son, World
Wrestling Entertainment said Monday.
"There are no further details at this time, other than the Benoit family residence is currently being investigated by local authorities,'' the WWE
statement said on its website.
WWE said information about the deaths came from "authorities'' in Fayetteville County, Ga. A spokesman for the Peachtree City Police Department said
he had no information on the report, telling a reporter to contact his superior on Tuesday.
WWE spokeswoman Cheryl Kong in Toronto said Monday night's "Raw'' TV program would serve as a tribute to Benoit and his family.
Benoit, 40, was born in Montreal and lived in Edmonton. He was a former world heavyweight champion, Intercontinental champion and held several
tag-team titles over his career.
"WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family's relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy,'' the website statement said.
Benoit was scheduled to wrestle at the Vengeance pay-per-view Sunday night in Houston, but was replaced at the last minute because of what announcer
Jim Ross called "personal reasons.''
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.
- Paul Morris, music director at 97.7 HTZ-FM

Heartbreaking. One of my all time favorites, and definitely my favorite active wrestler. Not to mention the best technical wrestler on the planet
until today. No one comes close.
The autographed picture I have of him is one of my prized possessions, way more so now than ever before.

I'm no wrestling fan... but didn't they call this dude the raving wolverine? He had the stature of Logan, that's for damn sure.
God rest his and his families' souls.

Rabid Wolverine. He was also known as "The Crippler" partly from the fact that Sabu's neck was broken in a match they had.

I thought this was bullshit when I first about it, thinking it was a WWE stunt. I believe differently now... And wow!

I have to respect that Vince cancelled RAW tonight and changed it to a 3 hour tribute to Chris Benoit. It's been an amazing retrospective on parts of
his career, going back to his days in Japan as the Pegasus Kid.

Not to be a total dick, but... as sad as this is, I'm waiting until we find out what happened (and yeah, I just watched the 3-hour Raw). He missed
last night's PPV due to a "family emergency", and the entire family is dead today. Seems like it might not be a random intruder killing them. A big
part of me is leaning towards murder-suicide, though I'm not sure whether I think the husband or the wife was responsible. Either way, it's terrible.
Just not sure who I should feel bad for yet.
But yeah, it was classy of Vince to do the tribute show and to acknowledge the "Vince is dead" thing as a gimmick storyline.

Here's a NY Times story. Sadly, looks like my comment above may have been right. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/us/AP-Wrestler-Dead.html?_r=...

I will wait and see what the police conclude, but I truly doubt Chris Benoit killed his wife and son.

I find it really hard to believe myself.
The saddest part would be that one of the greatest of all time brought tremendous shame to the business on his way out.

here's what ive heard so far..........
benoit was supposed to be on a house show sat. night
he got called home for a "family emergency"
he missed the ppv on sunday night for the same reasons
wwe people had not heard from him and called the cops to check the house
monday at around 4pm they found the boies of his son daniel, who they think died on sat.
his wife nancy, who they think died sunday, and chris who they think died monday
im now hearing that nancy may have killed their son, and chris came home and killed her and himself
there is also something about weird text messages chris sent to chavo on sat/sunday but they are not giving up that info as of yet
this is a terrible story

If this is all true he's completely shit on his career, his fans, and his legacy.
I'm really having a tough time comprehending all of this.
I really think I may be done watching wrestling (or at least WWE) for a while. This is just horrible.
