    Chris Benoit & family found dead (WWE Wrestler)

    Chris Benoit & family found dead (WWE Wrestler)

    WWE superstar Chris Benoit, 40, his wife Nancy and young son were found dead in their Atlanta home early this afternoon, this according to WWE.com.

    No further details regarding the tragedy have been released. Benoit was scheduled to appear at a pay-per-view event last night ... WWE said that there was a "family emergency" that prevented him from being there.

    Benoit, a former World Heavyweight Champ, wreaked havoc with his signature move, the "Crippler Crossface."

    The incident comes on the heels of the shocking death of former WWE wrestler "Sensational" Sherri Martel, and the supposed "assassination" of WWE head honcho Vince McMahon. TMZ has learned that the WWE is scrapping all references to the McMahon death storyline on tonight's episode of "Raw.'

    According to the official WWE website, tonight's "Raw" will serve as a tribute to the wrestling great.

    Police are investigating the incident.

    Sensational Sherri was a female wrestler, also, was the manager for Macho Man Randy Savage.

    Yes, but as part of a different story line, Macho broke it off with Miss Elizabeth & signed on with Sensational Sherri...

    It now seems that Benoit strangled his wife and suffocated his kid before hanging himself...

    Wow, who would have ever imagined that he was capable of doing something like this....

    Something else that I read, was that Chris Benoit sent disturbing text messages that alerted the WWE to call the Police, I wonder what he wrote?

    Depression, adultry, there are a million possibly things. Sad state of events in either case. It seems that by purpose or uncontrolable events recently as in the last decade wrestlers are dropping at a rate of at least one a year.

    The WWE Shopzone web site has pulled all Chris Benoit merchandise. Searches for Benoit's name on the web site's search engine all return the result "discontinued



    WWE Pulls Benoit Tribute Videos, Photos, & has removed the tribute on the main WWE page.

    Maybe he was infact but unfortuneately something snapped. Like I said above perhaps something bad happened and he went over the edge but I do not think it is something that you can use to change judgement about him overall.

    It's not like he yelled in anger or cursed at someone. He killed his family. If that can't make you change yourjudgement of someoen, what can?

    The guy's a ****in loon and there's not excuse for that.....not amount of being "pushed to the edge" can justify that.

    Theg uy's a wrestler.....it's not like he's saving lives. Any stress in his life would have been created by his own mistakes.

    I disagree, granted he did something horrible in the end as an overall person previous to that is he bad? Maybe he had issues at home, maybe his wife cheated on him who knows but bottom line is I do not think that should take away from the fact that he is human and in life he probably was a great guy. I had a freind I went to school with freshmen and sophmore year of high school who is in Jail in Texas for a double murder homoside but he was a great person untill he got in with the wrong crowd. I am not taking away from the fact he committed murder and than took the ***** way out but I do not think he should have his entire life judge by people who never knew the guy and I never did either for that matter.
