Chris Benoit Dead

[03gills]

This shocked me, not as big a fan of WWE anymore but still watched when he was quite big a few years back. Christ his wife and kid too what a horrible waste especially the circumstances around the whole thing not even 2 years since eddie passed away R.I.P

Same here, havent really watched it properly in a few years. I read the headline last night he was dead and was shocked, then when I read his family were dead too it was even more shocking.....then today it unfolded he killed them and then himself.

My lad is a big wrestling fan, he came upstairs this morning and told me it had been on the news and someone I liked was dead. I hadn't heard the news and I thought he meant the big guy. My stomach sank. Then he said it was Chris Benoit (his favourite wrestler). He was upset, I gave him a hug.

Still being the wrestling fan that i am, yeah i know but it's been nearly 20 years now so i doubt it's going to change, I heard about it last night and have read the updates today.

He apparently strangled the wife on Saturday and smothered his son on sunday before hanging himself sometime after that. Very sad.

It's also ruined his legacy, as he was viewed as one of the best in the business.

Thoughts and prayers go out to his family, especially the son and daughter he leaves behind.
