Chris Benoit kills wife, 7 year old son and then self.

[quote name='Demolition Man']I must say this will be a historic first that an wrestling thread beats an OTT to the 500 post mark. Just wish the circumstances could be better.[/quote]

We're going to hit 500 posts within 8 hours.. insane for a wrestling thread, usually takes weeks.

I'm torn on the Benoit thing. I'm sad because he was a fantastic wrestler, but I'm pissed because he's (potentially) a fucking murderer. What if Nancy was cheating on him? Even so, to kill his child? For god's sake, HIS CHILD! His flesh and blood! If he did kill them, I hope he fucking burns.

Heh, well they are still there if you do some searching. Although, definitely not on the front page, which is very abnormal.

I wouldn't be too stunned if they're completely taken off soon.

Edit: Oh and now they're gone... wow. Alright, well time for bed.

What's the over/under on Vince trying to get his limo angle re-started next week?

[quote name='RawisJericho']Yeah I noticed this thread is going to hit 500 very quickly.[/QUOTE]

Most likely this thread is going to 1,000 posts like any other memorial topic unless something dramatic happens.
 
[quote name='Zenithian Legend']What's the over/under on Vince trying to get his limo angle re-started next week?[/quote]

I hope it's over with regardless of the outcome.

Although, having him out in the ring during RAW, I'm not sure how they could step back into the story.

If things pan out the way I am really getting scared of, I see them issuing a statement of some type and then going on with the show. As for storylines, well, luckily nothing had really gone any further with the Vince Death angle and none of the talent had become involved in the story, so they could just kill it.

Either way, it'll be an interesting week for wrestling, both in the ring and out.
 
[quote name='panasonic']I heard at another fourm it was possible the wife killed the son and benoit killed her.[/quote]

Oh man, what a horrible twist that would be.

I'm sure this is going to rapidly become the most desirable theory. Benoit's wife kills his son, and in a fit of rage Benoit kills her. Having lost his family, Benoit loses his will to live and takes his own life.
 
[quote name='panasonic']I heard at another fourm it was possible the wife killed the son and benoit killed her.[/quote]

That would make the most sense.. as ZL said, Nancy kills Daniel, Benoit goes into a fit of rage and kills Nancy then ends himself. It's not a better situation, the situation is horrible any way you cut it.. but as it seems to me, Benoit is a monster. I never thought he could be capable of this. He never even seemed angry.. every time I saw him out of character, he was laughing and having a good time..

damn I would end up killing too. But I don't know if I would axe myself.
 
If he killed his son rot in the bottom of hell. I would just like to believe since they just moved to that new place he might have cared for his family. Its very hard to even think about a father doing that to his son.

Stuff isn't making sense thats why earlier I said its possible that someone else did it, and made it look like a murder-suicide.
 
I'll definitely be watching the WWE programs this week. I can say that for certain.

I'm going to bed... I hope there's better news (well, as 'better' as it can be. Better meaning Benoit isn't the killer he seems to be now) when I wake up.
 
[quote name='Zen Davis']If Benoit did kill his son and wife, the entire thing becomes about motive. Why did he do it?[/QUOTE]


Thats the thing we will never know.
 
Yeah i don't understand how they could have died, If it was from being strangled, or a gun wound it would be quickly identified. Poision or maybe some gas leak would make it hard to tell. Would take a lab test but how could they decided murder.
 
Yeah I've just read that Nancy may have killed the son and Benoit went apeshit on her and offed himself. But that doesn't make sense of the weapons comments by the police. There might have been a note involved as well.

Well it was said the no blood, gun, or stab wounds were found. The did say the "instruments of death" were found. So it sounds like blunt force trauma or poisoning. But if three people are found dead, and he wasn't crazy enough to walk around with dead bodies then is it possible that its gas poisoning.
 
[quote name='Zen Davis']If Benoit did kill his son and wife, the entire thing becomes about motive. Why did he do it?[/quote]

If Benoit did it, I think it becomes an issue of drugs (steroids or otherwise). The event itself feels both random and planned at the same time. What makes a man just wake up and decide to kill his family? You have to question, did he fly home, knowing he was going to kill his family. Did something set him off when he arrived, or was he just mentally gone by that point? But that does raise into question having the composure to call in to cancel his PPV appearance. These things point to premeditation.

Either way, I agree with others crying out for a heavy steroid investigation into wrestling, as MLB has had. At this point, you have to look out for the best interest of the athletes. The pressure in baseball to hit homeruns is one thing, but the pressure in wrestling to be huge and ripped is so far beyond that. Yes, it's entertainment, but it's entertainment based on athletic prowess and strength, which makes steroids a tempting option. The government has to step in.
 
Another thing to think about, the rumors are saying that Nancy died on Saturday and Daniel died on Sunday. So the mom killing the son theory doesn't work here.
 
Didn't Owen and Eddie die on a Sunday after a PPV as well?

I really hope he didn't kill them as stated in the reports.
 
All I can say is, this situation is beyond crazy. I guess it's kind of strange that we are all eagerly waiting to see what really happened (like PPV results), but this is such a unique situation; not to trivialize anyone's death in this instance, though.

After watching this guy for ten years, it's all just hard to swallow.
 
[quote name='Dhuk']Didn't Owen and Eddie die on a Sunday after a PPV as well?

No, Owen died during a PPV and Eddie died in the morning before a PPV.
 
At this point, the way things seemed to have gone is like this. Benoit was at the PPV when he left. If this is true, there had to have been some reason that he went home. Nancy had to have been the party to inform Chris that something was wrong with their son and so I personally suspect that she had something to do with what befell the youngest Benoit child.

I just can't see Benoit saying, "Oh I think I'll cancel all my plans and kill my wife, my kid, and myself today, especially since they're going to make me the ECW champion" and then going home to Georgia. It doesn't make any sense, regardless of steroid rage. In my opinion, this all had to have started before Benoit ever left for home and I think there was some kind of poison involved, whether it was bleach or something else.

It really all depends on whether Benoit was already on the road or not.

I believe the last day Benoit worked was the Tuesday ECW show. He definately wasn't at the arena on Sunday.
 
[quote name='Zen Davis']At this point, the way things seemed to have gone is like this. Benoit was at the PPV when he left. [/quote]Your theory is already debunked. He wasn't at the Saturday house show either.
 
[quote name='Graystone']But owen was a Sunday.
[/quote]

Both died on a Sunday. Owen died on a Sunday during a PPV. Eddie died on a Sunday morning before a PPV started.

I need to go to bed, I've been up way to late trying to keep up with the story. Hopefully we'll haev some more info in the morning.
 
Eddie died before a Raw/SD supershow taping actually, not a PPV.

Tmorrow's going to be interesting, because I sure as hell can't sleep right now.

Yeah it was a super show, for some reason I kept thinking it was a PPV. Mainly cause Eddie was going to win the title.
 
[quote name='Psykoboy2']Eddie was going to win. Benoit was going to win. Might be hard to remember, but was Owen scheduled to win back then?[/quote]

Yes, he was, but we've already been over this. There is no "I'm going to be champ" death curse.
 
I can't remember where I read the report, but somewhere they said that when the details all come out, the results will be "very strange".

Over at 1wrestling, they posted this, which i'm sure has been posted here, but I am posting it anyway:

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.

I wish they'd hurry up and get Raw up on PWT, I missed the entire thing
 
[quote name='mlettich']Yes, he was, but we've already been over this. There is no "I'm going to be champ" death curse.[/quote]

Not at all my thought. It was just one of those odd coincidences. Plus, as fast as this thread grew, I'm quite sure I missed where someone said Owen was scheduled to win. Sorry about that.

It's 2:30 now and I can't sleep.

I turned on the television to see what might be floating around the news channels. Bad idea.

Nothing but coverage of Paris getting out of jail. It was actually pretty sick to see the fucking circus of media surrounding her as she left. Then I changed channels and got to see it from a different angle. Two more times that would happen. I finally returned it back to the history channel, and here I am now. Still unable to sleep. Still wanting to know what happened to one of the few reasons I had left to watch wrestling anymore...
 
I just dont know what to think right now if a double murder-suicide is the case then I...this is just hard to think. sorry guys.

Matt
 
RIP Chris, Nancy, and Daniel. Benoit was an amazing wrestler, consummate professional, and all around great guy. He was also my favorite wrestler and has been since I first saw him wrestle in WCW. Like many of you I'm still pretty stunned by all this and find myself wishing it were an angle or, callous as it may be, someone else. You'll be missed and remembered forever. I hope you're with Eddie now.

To further update you on the tragic events leading up to the death of Chris Benoit, Nancy Benoit and Daniel Benoit.

New reports suggest that Chris Benoit strangled his wife and son, possibly a day a part. It’s also being reported that he then took his own life after he hanged himself some time Monday.

Officials are expected to release a statement sometime this morning/afternoon to further update us on new information in the case.
