I was just thinking to myself "wasn't she woman when Benoit was with the 4 Horsemen?" Glad I wasn't the only one who picked that up.

She was they've shown her on the show tonight... this is by far the saddest Raw I've watched. The segments with Chavo... and Edge... really got to me. When Edge said "Like two Canadian guys fighting over the last beer"... as light hearted as it was put I know alot of Canadian Wrestling fans (or at least myself cried a bit)....

I drank a few for Benoit during the tribute show. Its a damn shame I tell ya. Like William Regal said, "You are the best Chris. Simply the best."

Also...thank god McMahon ditched his "IM DEAD" angle. It tells ya that the man does have some feelings after all.

[Zachary Sharp]

I agree... they handled this well and everyone involved showed real genuine emotion. WWE isn't always an "Evil Empire". Even John Cena seemed like a real person tonight and not his over the top character... It was a very emotional show and I think they did Chris Benoit right. It's still a crying shame... I wish we could know what happend.

[Head Booker]

I have all respect for the dead BUT I think I'm goin' to reserve my well wishes until AFTER it becomes clear what is goin' on...I would hate and hope that Benoit didn't take his family's and own life...but like I siad I'll wait to see what unfolds in the comin' days...

I really hope the story changes and it turns out that Chris was as innocent as the rest of his family. It would be a real bad tarnish to him and would make it difficult to absorb and understand if you should feel bad for him or not

[Icon Lord Leon Corbin]

Actually, you're not the only one to think that a possibility, sir

But it was a horrible RAW to watch, as in depressing that is. It was nice to see some of those matches though, especially from his days in Japan and the one with Malenko etc

[The Root]

It's looking bad folks.

Benoit is basically looking to be the perpetrator. Not only that, but early details have him killing his wife on Saturday, his son on Sunday and then himself on Monday.

I really hope this isn't true, but it is all but confirmed. We will know 100% sure tomorrow.

You just have to wonder what happens next for WWE? If Benoit is a murderer, surely they won't have anymore tribute shows for him. What will they say? That would have to change perspectives all around.

[Icon Lord Leon Corbin]

Where are these early details? And if he did do that, what would have driven him to that?

[Zachary Sharp]

People may never know... This is horrible.

I can't say anything that doesn't mirror the feelings of everyone here. BEnoit was always a favourite of mine that I enjoyed watching and respected.

I'm having wild thoughts about my continued interest in wrestling right now.

LATEST DETAILS ON BENOIT FAMILY TRAGEDY
by Mike Johnson @ 3:09:00 AM on 6/26/2007


The Chris Benoit tragedy has been picked up by nearly every major media source in the United States and Canada, so expect the story to become widely reported in the next several days. MSNBC, CNN, ESPN and Sports Illustrated have all run major headline stories on the tragedy.

World Wrestling Entertainment posted a long article on their website early Tuesday morning, noting that the company's Richard Hering contacted local authorities in Georgia asking them to check on the Benoit family following several "curious" text messages Benoit sent to friends who worked for the company. When authorities came to the Benoits' home, they found the bodies of Benoit, his wife Nancy and seven year old son Daniel in different areas of the home.

"The details, when they come out," Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard told the local media during a press conference late Monday evening, "are going to prove a little bizarre."

The press conference noted that Fayetteville, Georgia authorities’ official findings was that a double murder-suicide from within the home took place. The authorities are currently going on the theory that Benoit murdered his wife and son over the course of the weekend, before taking his own life. There will be autopsies performed later today with authorities hoping the results will confirm their suspicions. It will take several weeks for toxicology reports to be returned.

World Wrestling Entertainment initially ran a three hour Benoit retrospective in "celebration" of the Benoit family. Shortly after the tribute completed airing, more details of the nature of the family's death came to light. WWE's website removed tribute videos to Benoit, replacing them with in-ring video footage and the aforementioned straight news story on the tragedy.

Hmmm...

And ironically most on the tribute show remarked on how much of a loving family man he was...
