WWE faking another death

[Highschoolfan78]

On their site they are saying Canadian Crippler Chris Benoit and his family have died. Faking or not? I can't find a news story anywhere else...

[Keith7]

wikipedia says its true.. :(

[Bull Butter]

I'll wait until I hear it from a more credible source than WWE & Wikipedia

[Highschoolfan78]

Well if it is Vince Mcnugget, he's gone a little too far.

[Txbroadcaster]

This sounds pretty legit..if this is a ruse it is going WAY overboard

[TMer25]

I don't think they would say his family was found dead as well if it was just a storyline.

[Bull Butter]

According to the only other website that reports this story, Pro Wrestling Insider, Benoit and his wife were found dead inside their Atlanta home.

Funny thing, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution makes no mention of this on their website:confused:

It was originally supposed to further that storyline along, but now it has become a tribute show to Chris Benoit and his family.

I wonder if Vince McMahon will be @ the tribute show because that would totally blow their Vince 'death investigation' story line.

WWE News: Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy, and son Daniel found dead

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and his son Daniel were found dead today in their Atlanta home.

WWE.com reported the story moments ago on their website. Benoit, 40, missed a Saturday night house show and last night's pay-per-view in order to return home to Atlanta.

PWTorch.com can confirm through sources that Benoit's death is real and not part of a worked WWE storyline.

WWE has announced plans to scrap tonight's scheduled "Vince McMahon memorial" storyline on WWE Raw, and will address Benoit's death on the program.

No further details are available at this time.

[TMer25]

TNA Wrestling now has it up on their website. I think it's safe to say it's real.

WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, wife, son found dead in Georgia

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. — WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife and son were found dead today and police said they were investigating the deaths as a homicide.

Lt. Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department said the three were found at their home about 2:30 p.m., but refused to release details.

Pope said results of autopsies on Benoit, his wife Nancy, and 7-year-old son Daniel were expected Tuesday.

Benoit, 40, 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 federation said in a statement on its Web site.

Benoit was scheduled to perform at the "Vengeance" pay-per-view event Sunday night in Houston, but was replaced at the last minute because of what announcer Jim Ross called "personal reasons."

Benoit, a Canadian native, maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling.

[KTA]

I seen that, glad to see he actully does have some morals to stop the story line of "his death" and address the public like the way he did. I wonder if they will pick up where they left with Vince's death?

[JHS_c/o_06']

any idea what happened to him.....the only thing i can think of besides them being murdered or God for bid a murder suicide would be something like carbon monoxide poisoning. It's a shame too. I havne't watch wrestling in a long time but i always enjoyed watching his matches when i did (back in the WCW days.... i never really watched when they got bought out). God bless man. RIP.

[Diocletian]

I guess we'll just have to see this one out

damn shame if he is dead though this guy was the most intense fake wrestler in my opinion, he did his job very well and would not deserve a death like this

it's reported as a homicide so far, we'll see what they find i guess..

[Diocletian]

just saw vince in the middle of Amer Bank Center so yea if he's willing to lose all those hard spent promtion dollars on faking his own death by coming out live it has to be true

they will make it up all on this tribute show i bet, once the buzz hits everyone will be watching it......my eye is glued to the screen already watching it

[charlesrixey]

:dispntd: :(

[Antec]

Proves these guys have feelings too and can share it to the millions of persons watching.

They are not really that much different than we are


They are entertainer-athletes and giving fans excitement.

Seems there are a few too many wrestlers who have died over the past 3-4 years.

Its a hard life traveling all over the country for 52 weeks a year.

They are away from their families

[thewyliefan]

i havnt watched wrestling in years....but i remember watching him when i was only like 6 or 7 when he was with the WCW promotion back in like '95 or '96. doesnt seem all that long ago.

[Emerson1]

:( Going to be hard watching it live next week.

They didn't even have a show tonight, they turned away all the fans at the door.

[No Show Jones]

I remember when Owen Hart died on practice and they let the show go on. Odd they would turn away fans like that but it just goes to show that Chris is a legend. Wasn't he apart of the 4 horsemen in WCW?

Owen Hart died during a PPV.

Another update on Benoit murder/suicide

by Dave Meltzer

Sources in the Fayette County Police Department are now working under the theory that Chris Benoit killed Nancy on Saturday, son Daniel on Sunday, and then killed himself earlier today.

Benoit was found dead in his weight room. Nancy was found dead in the lving room. Daniel was found dead in his bedroom, accordig t an unnamed source in the department.

Lt. Tommy Pope told ABC News "the instruments of death were located on the scene," but didn't specify what those were or where they were found. Pope said the department was not actively searching for any suspects outside the house.

[Bull Butter]

It has been stated that no gunshots were fired. So horrible to think how this might have transpired:(

[setxsports]

Poisoning! I could be wrong though. Word is his Wife liked to mess around.

[eagles_victory]

i would be shocked if he actually did this that would just be horrible if that was the case and i hate that the wwe would honor him if he did this

When they honored him tonight, investigations were still going on. If he did do it, I think the honoring should end for sure. One thing for sure is that a whole family was wiped out today and the loved ones surrounding them have to grasp that concept. I do pray for the extended family and friends of the Benoit family. I am thoroughly glad they dropped the Vince McMahon dead angle. I wish they would have last week when former WWE manager Sherri Martel died.

Gut says his wife may have been cheating or wanted to leave him.

Written: June 25, 2007

According to lead investigator Lt. Tommy Pope, of the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department, in Fayetteville, Ga., the deaths of WWE Superstar Chris Benoit, wife Nancy and son Daniel were the result of a double murder-suicide, WWE.com has learned.

Benoit failed to appear both at Saturday’s live event in Beaumont, Tx., and WWE’s Vengeance: Night of Champions in Houston Sunday night, after informing WWE of a family emergency. Several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning prompted concerned friends to alert Richard Hering, VP of Government Relations for WWE, Inc. Hering, in turn, spoke with Fayette County sheriffs Monday, and requested that they respond to the Benoit residence to check on him and his family.

Authorities representing the Sheriff’s Department initially had a difficult time entering Benoit’s new Fayetteville home Monday afternoon, which had been guarded by two large German Shepherds roaming freely around the property. Once authorities entered the residence, they quickly located the bodies of Benoit, Nancy and Daniel. WWE was notified of the discovery at approximately 4 p.m.

At 10 p.m. Monday night, Lt. Pope held a press conference in conjunction with Scott Ballard, the district attorney for Fayette County. The press conference officially ruled authorities’ findings as a double murder-suicide from within the home.

WAGA, a FOX-owned and operated television station in Atlanta, reported that investigators believe Benoit killed his wife and 7-year-old son over the weekend, then himself on Monday.

The three bodies have been received by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s crime lab, in Decatur, Ga., where autopsies will be performed Tuesday morning. Toxicology reports will not become available for at least two weeks.

WWE.com has further information relating to both the investigation and the cause of death, but the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department has requested that WWE.com not release any additional details at this time.

and let the Vince "death" angle continue.. uh.. or let the actual death tie into or become part of a fake death storyline or watch Vince get booed off the stage or the fans boo the actual death or cancel three hours of air time with no regard and run different stuff ignoring it... :thinking:

the investigation was ongoing as they were on air.. they made the right move for what was known at the time. and furthermore it was classy of Vince to show up on WWE TV calling off the idiotic and pathetic storyline faking his death.

they had what 2-3 hours notice with this thing? Emotion and timing played a big role in the direction of it.

In my earlier days of life, I trained in Dallas to become a Pro Wrestler. Due to back problems, I couldn't continue. I have kept in contact over the years with 2 of the stars of WWE

I know, people always say how fake it is and it's just a big soap opera, then get all pissed off because they killed of a character.

If he murdered his wife and kid I do not feel sorry for him and I will discredit the WWE for the memorial last night of a murderer.

Even if its to make money.. its seems a little childish to me but then again maybe its bc I dont watch it. By reading what yall say it shouldnt have to come down to Vince Mcwhatever fakin his own death. If your ratings are that low.. just quit!

What were they supposed to do? They show has to go on, it was not known at the time he might of been the murderer. I doubt anyone in the WWE would of even expected that.

I finally had enough of Vince McMahon on a Pay Per Veiw when he had his wife out in the ring acting like he was slapping her around. All I could think of was what this was telling young people that it was ok to hit a woman? NOT

I watched a portion of the tribute last night on television. Who was the older guy on the right of the screen doing some of the talking between highlights? His mouth/lips do not move when he talks...at all...really strange looking. I was thinking that either his jaw is wired shut or he should be a ventriloquist.

Very sad, sad situation.:dispntd: :(

The WWE is now separating themselves from Chris Benoit. All merchandise has been pulled as have the tribute videos from the wrestlers.

WWE will just leave up the short mention that he is dead.

Benoit looks to be a murderer and the WWE wants no part of that.

[eagles_victory]

ATLANTA -- Pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son before hanging himself in his weight room, a law enforcement official close to the investigation told The Associated Press Tuesday.

The official spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Authorities also said they are investigating whether steroids may have been a factor in the deaths of Benoit, his wife and their 7-year-old son who were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide.

Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard said test results may not be back for weeks or even months.

Autopsies were scheduled Tuesday by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation in DeKalb County.

Benoit canceled a pay-per-view appearance at the "Vengeance" event in Houston because of "personal reasons" a day before the three were found dead.

World Wrestling Entertainment said on its Web site that it asked authorities to check on Benoit and his family after being alerted by friends who received "several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning." The WWE canceled its live "Monday Night RAW" card in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Well Vince should learn something about karma. While he's busy craving the dollar signs with his sick storylines, real life issues are arising. Judging from his caring personality in and out of the ring, no one really thought of Benoit as a killer after they first heard the news. Hence, the three hour special paid tribute to him. It's a sad situation, especially if steroids played a part. Vince will have to crack down some more and create more policies towards steroids. Too many of my childhood heroes are dead now

List included:
Hawk from Road Warriors
Kurt Hening "Mr. Perfect"
Bam Bam Biggalow
Owen Hart
Big Boss Man
Eddie Gurrerro
and now Benoit...

Crack down Vince so that children's hearts arent broken.

I'm not blaming vince for their deaths, not by any means. He just needs harsher policies on steroids or anything else that harms or disturbs the lives of wrestlers. Not all of them died from steroids however.. maybe i shouldn't have named all of them. It's more like their lifestyles with wrestling had an effect on their death. I am mainly blaming Vince for the horrible storyline he had going.

IMO it was a stupid storyline.BUT it is no different that a soap opera faking a death of a character..That is in essence what Wrestling is a Male soap opera..We dont say a TV drama is being tacky with deaths of characters or faking deaths, so we should not hold up a Wrestling Promoter to a higher standard

I think it differs a little because out of character he is still Vince Mcmahon. Real Soap Operas don't associate their acting with their personal lives.

Trust me, regardless of the parent's view of wrestling, elementary age kids will find a way to watch. I worked with elementary age students and many of them would talk about it. In order to gain any ground in the social realm, the children try to link themselves to wrestling. They are oblivious to the real issues and view these guys as people fighting for real life issues. As stupid as its sounds, it's true.

Wake up people!!!! Blah.......:hand: :(

Who are you to say that those men aren't heroes to some? Every person has the individual right to formulate their own ideas about people. Some wrestlers are great role models for children and some aren't, the same can be said about any adult in general. Football has violence, so does basketball. If I recall earlier in the playoffs a member of your beloved Spurs tried to injur another player, so don't go putting down one form of sports or entertainment to suit your own beliefs. Wrestling may be stupid to some, but for others it is entertainment. I don't watch wrestling anymore, but don't down a form of entertainment that people enjoy just because you don't like it. I've never heard of wrestling promoting steroid use, only people looking for an unfair and unhealthy edge to improve athletic performance and how they look. Wake up Yaya. :hand:

Well, in the case of my cousin and his 7 year old son - because he can & it is HIS right! That is there father-son time. Not every man is a dead beat. My cousin, happens to be a wonderful father and I for one, love how much time he spends with his kid. It just so happens that one of their passions is wrestling. SO WHAT?? His son is an awesome individual, in spite of his love of wrestling.

You & your blanket statements.

Little kids don't know that it's fake. Football is just as violent to a kid as wrestling, it's a bunch of hulk-like men hitting each other. Same can be said for baseball, I bet more baseball players use steroids then wrestlers.

It's a guy thing. Just one of those differences between men and women. We actually live in one of the most passive societies in world history, everything just gets a lot more attention nowadays.

It's why guys love watching football, rugby, boxing, MMA, and all that other stuff so much more than women. It's something that we can't explain, and is tough for women (read: my fiance ;)) to understand

[Gobbla2001]

Yaya, men can't understand why girls want to watch women and men cheat on each other (soap operas) either... it encourages divorces and morally wrong behavior that does not benefit this society... :p

Excellent response. My friend that was taking his children is a wonderful father as well, radiologist and school board member. Not a stupid bone in his body.

Not that I like wrestling, but I do relate this type of thing to taking my son to monster truck shows when he was much younger. He loved those things and I loved seeing them make him happy.:)

Well, fine then, just be sure and tell those little kids that you take to see this kind of "entertainment" that this hero just killed his 7 yr old son and the mama of the 7 yr old. Like I said, open your eyes....comparing the WWE to soap operas is just plain silly. But whatever you need to rationalize here......I get it, you LOVE it.....well I guess then, it's only one less you have to watch. The whole industry is tainted.

How is it silly to comparew wrestling to Soap Operas?

Both have the Good Vs Bad story line
Both have the bad guy useing tricks and cheating their way to the top

Both have redemption of characters as they see the right and wrong, then avert back to their evil ways

Both have good guys making mistakes, yet always realizing they need to do better

Both have violence and use beautiful Men and women to allure fans

The story lines for both are predictable, yet at times fun to watch

Not really, it's what they have always done before.

If they had not shown a tribute and just gone one with the show they and had the deaths not been from a murder/suicide then they would look like pretty big jackasses then to.

I don't think anyone in the WWE expected that he murdered his entire family, they just can't cancel the show and run a ticker at the bottom saying 'sorry no show tonight, chris benoit died.'

WWE has canceled the tour of western Canada that was scheduled for July 14th-17th so that Raw can be held in Corpus Christi, Texas on July 16th.

American Bank Center has scheduled a new date for WWE Monday Night Raw. The event will be back in Corpus Christi at American Bank Center Arena on July 16th at 6:30pm. Tickets for the June 25th postponed date will still be honored. American Bank Center General Manager, Marc Solis says, “We have worked tirelessly with WWE officials since the event was postponed yesterday to set a new date. July 16th is only weeks away and we believe that shows the dedication and appreciation WWE has for their loyal fan base in Corpus Christi. It’s a difficult time for the organization, our thoughts and prayers are with the WWE family and friends.” As Corpus Christi’s premier event center, it is the mission of the American Bank Center to provide unprecedented guest experiences.

*edit* a more detailed timeline


Saturday, June 23, 2007

Chris Benoit was scheduled to appear at the WWE Smackdown/ ECW live event in Beaumont, Texas

3:30pm
A co-worker received a voice message from Benoit. The message from Benoit stated he missed his flight and over slept and would be late to the WWE Live Event. The co-worker called Benoit back, Benoit confirmed everything he said in his voice message and sounded tired and groggy. Benoit then stated, “I love you”. The co-worker stated that it was “out of context.”

3:42pm
The same co-worker was concerned with Benoit’s tone and demeanor and called Benoit for a second time. Benoit did not answer the call and the co-worker left a message stating “just call me back.”

3:44pm
Benoit called the co-worker back stating he didn’t answer the call because he was on the phone with Delta changing his flight. Benoit stated he had a real stressful day due to Nancy and Daniel being sick with food poisoning. They discussed travel plans for the WWE Tour of Texas with Benoit still sounding groggy at this point according to the co-worker.

4:30pm
A co-worker who consistently travels with Benoit, called Benoit from outside Houston airport and Benoit answered. Benoit told the co-worker that Nancy was throwing up blood and that Daniel was also throwing up. Benoit thought they had food poisoning. Benoit stated he changed his flight and he would be arriving into Houston at 6:30pm. Benoit told the co-worker to drive onto the WWE event.

5:35pm
Benoit called WWE Talent Relations stating that his son was throwing up and that he and Nancy were in the hospital with their son, and that Benoit would be taking a later flight into Houston, landing late, but would make the WWE live event in Beaumont.

6:10pm
A representative of Talent Relations called Benoit. The representative from Talent Relations asked Benoit what time Benoit was getting into Beaumont. Benoit responded he was leaving Atlanta at 9:20pm Eastern time arriving into Houston at 9:24pm Central time. The representative from Talent Relations advised Benoit that it would be too late to make the WWE live event in Beaumont. Benoit apologized citing he had a family emergency. The representative from Talent Relations suggested to Benoit that instead of going to the WWE live event in Beaumont, Benoit should take the flight to Houston, rest up and be ready for the Vengeance Pay-Per-View event.

6:13pm
The representative from Talent Relations called Benoit to reconfirm the travel plans with no answer from Benoit. The representative from Talent Relations left a voice message to take the flight and rest up.

Monday, June 25, 2007

12:30pm
WWE was notified of text messages sent to the two co-workers.

12:45pm
WWE contacted the Fayetteville County Sheriff’s office and requested them to go to Benoit’s
residence

4:00pm
WWE received a call from the Fayetteville County Sheriff’s office, advising that they entered
the house of Benoit and found 3 deceased bodies (a male, a female and a child). The Fayetteville Sheriff’s office has secured the house as a “major crime scene” and that the Fayetteville County Sheriff’s Office had no further information.

More sick details...Benoit was a BEAST. If this turns out to be all true, this guy had some sick demons!

From the Atlanta-Journal Constitutional....

Professional wrestling star Chris Benoit may have killed his 7-year-old son with a chokehold, Fayette County's district attorney said Wednesday.

The bodies of Benoit, his wife Nancy, and son Daniel were found in the family's exclusive Fayette County home Monday afternoon. Authorities say the deaths appear to have been murder-suicide.

District Attorney Scott Ballard said the boy had internal injuries to the throat area, but showed no bruises, indicating he may have been locked in the crook of his father's arm. Previous reports have said the boy had been smothered or strangled.

Nancy Benoit, 43, had bruises on her back and stomach consistent with someone pressing a knee into the small of the back while pulling on a cord around the neck, Ballard said.

Benoit, 40, killed himself by wrapping a cord around his neck that was attached to a weight machine, Ballard said. Benoit released the weights — about 240 pounds — to cause strangulation, he said.

Ballard said the pull-down bar had been removed from the machine. He was found seated against the machine in the basement of his home.

so not everyone who takes prescription steriods kills their family....... i'm sure it's more about the wrestling thing and always being on the road and what not

I never said that wrestlers were the only people that killed their familes. I do think all wrestlers abuse roid's and this kind of "family entertainment" is too violent for young kids.

i watched wrestling religiously when i was younger and horror movies and murder movies and anything else but that dosent make a kid become violent or a killer i dont think you can blame wrestling for the death of his family i agree it is very sad but like kyle said there not the first parents to give HGH to their son and hes not the first to take roids

ATLANTA - Investigators are looking into who altered pro wrestler Chris Benoit's Wikipedia entry to mention his wife's death hours before authorities discovered the bodies of the couple and their 7-year-old son.


Benoit's Wikipedia entry was altered early Monday to say that the wrestler had missed a match two days earlier because of his wife's death.

A Wikipedia official, Cary Bass, said Thursday that the entry was made by someone using an Internet protocol address registered in Stamford, Conn., where World Wrestling Entertainment is based.

An IP address, a unique series of numbers carried by every machine connected to the Internet, does not necessarily have to be broadcast from where it is registered. The bodies were found in Benoit's home in suburban Atlanta, and it's not known where the posting was sent from, Bass said.

Benoit strangled his wife and son during the weekend, placing Bibles next to their bodies, before hanging himself on the cable of a weight-machine in his home, authorities said. No motive was offered for the killings, which were discovered Monday.

Also Thursday, federal drug agents said they had raided the west Georgia office of a doctor who prescribed testosterone to Benoit.

The raid at Dr. Phil Astin's office in Carrollton began Wednesday night and concluded early Thursday, said agent Chuvalo Truesdell, a spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Administration. No arrests were made.

Hours before the raid, Astin told The Associated Press he had treated Benoit for low testosterone levels, which he said likely originated from previous steroid use.

Among other things, investigators were looking for Benoit's medical records to see whether he had been prescribed steroids and, if so, whether that prescription was appropriate, according to a law enforcement official speaking on condition of anonymity because records in the case remain sealed.

Astin prescribed testosterone for Benoit, a longtime friend, in the past but would not say what, if any, medications he prescribed when Benoit visited his office Friday.

State medical records show that Astin's privileges were suspended for three months in 2001 at a Georgia hospital for "reasons related to competence or character."

Astin did not return calls to his cell phone from the AP on Thursday.

Anabolic steroids were found in Benoit's home, leading officials to wonder whether the drugs played a role in the killings. Some experts believe steroids cause paranoia, depression and violent outbursts known as "roid rage."

Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard said in a statement Thursday that he could not immediately comment on the raid.

Benoit's page on Wikipedia, a reference site that allows users to add and edit information, was updated at 12:01 a.m. Monday, about 14 hours before authorities say the bodies were found. The reason he missed a match Saturday night was "stemming from the death of his wife Nancy," it said.

Reporters informed the Fayette County district attorney's office of the posting Thursday, and the agency forwarded the information to sheriff's investigators, who are looking into it, a legal assistant said in an e-mail to the AP.

WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt said that to his knowledge, no one at the WWE knew Nancy Benoit was dead before her body was found Monday afternoon. Text messages released by officials show that messages from Chris Benoit's cell phone were being sent to co-workers a few hours after the Wikipedia posting.

WWE employees are given WWE e-mail addresses, McDevitt said, though he did not know whether Chris Benoit had one.

"I have no idea who posted this," McDevitt said. "It's at least possible Chris may have sent some other text message to someone that we're unaware of. We don't know if he did. The phone is in the possession of authorities."

On Thursday afternoon, the Wikipedia page about Benoit carried a note stating that editing by unregistered or newly registered users was disabled until July 8 because of vandalism.

In other developments Thursday, Ballard told the AP that 10 empty beer cans were found in a trash can in the Benoit home. An empty wine bottle was found a few feet from where Benoit hanged himself, Ballard said.

It could take several weeks for toxicology tests to be completed on Benoit to see what substances, if any, were in his system.

Benoit took four months off from work in 2006 for undisclosed personal reasons, McDevitt said.

"He was feeling depressed, that kind of thing," McDevitt said.

In the days before the killings, Benoit and his wife argued over whether he should stay home more to take care of their mentally retarded 7-year-old son, according to an attorney for the WWE wrestling league.

The child had a rare medical condition called Fragile X Syndrome, an inherited form of mental retardation often accompanied by autism.

Chris Benoit's father, Michael Benoit, declined to comment on the slayings when reached Thursday by telephone in Alberta, Canada. Funeral arrangements were incomplete.
