Jesus christ. I actually sat looking at the screen for about five minutes.
Benoit was obviously going to tear ECW apart and give the whole f***ing company some credibility. And now..
Oh man. This is awful.

Like everyone else. I'm speechless. I mean, part of me wants to believe it's just another stupid WWE angle, but the other half doesn't want to believe they'd go as far as including someone's family. I'm shocked. I still trying to believe that with Eddie, and now especially Benoit. Now there is no possible way they can follow through with the Vince angle. RIP Benoit. This is the worst thing ever. WAY too many people are going. It seems like a weekly thing now.

It's 1.30 AM here, and I am sitting in my computer chair, staring blankly at the monitor and shaking all over. I can barely type from my hands trembling. This is horrible. Absolutely horrible.

As much as I may bash the WWE at times, they would never EEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEERR joke about something as serious this.
As horrible as Eddie's death was, that one can't be called a "shock". I'm sure we all had it in the back of our minds that day may come sooner or later.
But this, this is up there with the absolute worst incidents in the history of professional wrestling.

Nothing I could say could possible explain how I feel about this.
I can't believe it, I'm totally stunned and saddened. I want to cry.

His son was only about 9. I remember seeing him at backlash 2004. He was the spitting image of his dad.

My belief: Chris didn't even have a "family emergency". This is all part of the Vince "Death" angle. There's a serial "killer" on the loose targeting wrestlers. Chris missing the PPV was to set up for his "death" by being lured home and killed. Come on, guys. Something this big and the first site to pick up on it is WWE.COM? Work. Sick, but a work. PWInsider had it up minutes before WWE.com did.

I think it's an understatement to say the Vince angle is over. I mean, with Sherri it's one thing cause she's not even on WWE TV often. But Benoit was a main guy. They can't continue it. If they do even I'd swear off WWE, and I've stuck through a lot with them. Yeah, that's an understatement and if they don't drop the angle, it's just pure tasteless.

www.wrestlingobserver.com/wo/news/headlines/default.asp?aID=20000The WWE just told its talent and released on its web site that Chris Benoit was found dead by Atlanta police.
Benoit, wife Nancy aka Woman and son Daniel were all found dead. We have no other details at this moment.
All plans for Raw tonight have been scrapped and they will do a show on the life of Benoit.

I hope they weren't murdered. If they were, I hope the police catch whoever did it. I remember watching Chris in WCW and thinking what a talented wrestler he was.
R.I.P to the Daus (Chris's wife's maiden name) and Benoit families.
First Sherri and now Benoit? Talk about bad timing for the Vince "death" angle. If this angle continues, we have a favorite for the Gooker award of 2007.
Note to McMahon: END THE DEATH ANGLE NOW!!!!

I can't imagine a death that would upset me more outside of my immediate family. Benoit was just a wonderful human being and a hell of a man
