Assorted geeky things, reality tv, and bragging about my kids

I don't really follow the WWE pay per views, but I do follow the "sheets" that give the update on matches. I noticed last night that Benoit would miss the Vengeance PPV because he had to fly home for a "family emergency."

Apparently he, his wife Nancy, and their child have all been found dead. Holy sh*t. No more news is currently available, although you'd have to guess at some sort of murder/suicide thing - the question is who started it.

Long time wrestling fans might recall Benoit's wife Nancy as the character Woman, former protege of Kevin Sullivan. They had some classic battles in WCW using their own real life feud as fodder for some memorable television.

It's hard to explain to a non wrestling fan what it means when something like this happens. I mean, let's be honest, I'm 38 years old and I've watched wrestling for all my life. I don't buy the merchandise, or the pay per views. It's just a sort of Monday night habit I've never really kicked. Now imagine for a minute that there's someone you see every week. Every single week, for, oh, call it 20 years. There's really nothing that can compare to that. No television show does it justice - they tape, they rerun. Wrestling is live every week. No movie star can compare - they have stunt men, they get up and climb back in their trailers until they're needed again. Pro wrestlers put on the show that they do, live, every week, because it's what they're born to do. Sometimes they go away for awhile, sure. They're injured, they're written out of story lines. You don't hear from them for months. And then one day when you least expect it, their entrance music kicks in and you get honest to god shivers down your spine. Not because I'm screaming at my television "Kill him, Chris! Get him!!" Of course we know it's fixed, of course we know who "wins". It's not about that. It's about knowing that the guy walking down the aisle is about to put on a damned entertaining show for me, and I appreciate that.

Men like Chris Benoit (and his longtime closest friend Eddie Guerrero) were the sort who redefined what it meant to be great at what they did. Chris Benoit absolutely transcended what it means to be a professional wrestler these days. He wasn't among the circus of "dead men" and "degeneration X" and other gimmicks and story lines. You want to know the Chris Benoit storyline? He was the best wrestler there was. Prove him wrong. In a business where people got over almost entirely on their monster physiques or their movie star microphone work (the Rock, anyone?), Chris Benoit held his own entirely on his wrestling talent and intensity.

I can't even wrap my brain around what it means for him to be gone. Eddie Guerrero died last year. That, too, was a tragedy. But to put it in context? Honestly? Eddie Guerrero had a long time history of messing his body up pretty badly with drugs. It was not a surprise to many people when he died. Benoit died suddenly, unexpectedly and tragically, along with his entire family. The magnitude of that is inconceivable.

The show's on now. I'm going to stop typing and start appreciating the memories. RIP, Crippler. I hope you get to see your friend Eddie again.

Well put... Very unexpected and Very tragic...
WAT THE .... WHO EVER DID THAT IS A HATER HE SHOULD GO TO HELL THATS WAT I THINK. HE'S A LITTLE SON OF A BI...???????????
Yes i would have too agree that murder/suicide isn't the first thing that comes to mind when remembering chris. I would hope that if someone broke into my home to kill me or my family, some text messages, which could have been sent by anyone, wouldn't make police think well automatically murder/suicide. Anyway why would he stick around to watch it? It looks like he would have taken it at the same time and left proof like a handwritten letter, NOT JUST A TEXT PEEPS, ANYONE CAN DO THAT AND CLAIM TO BE HIM. Plus Eddie and him were pretty good friends and his death was an accidential overdose. Things like the mob,drug cartel, and organized crime really exist!!!!!! I never knew either man personally but thats the feeling i get from all this, that they got mixed-up in something bigger than the both of them.
Why does everybody feel sorry for him, he killed his seven year old son and wife, I don't care how good he was at wrestling he is still a murderer if what I have read is true???
Well, do keep in mind that many of the posts you're reading were written at a time when all we knew was "They're all dead." The details about they died are going to take awhile to sink in.
anyone think it's a conspiracy? this is just crazy, but maybe someone held captive his wife and kid and was lookin for ransom so therefore he called out trying to do the exchange without getting any one hurt. the crooks wound up killing his wife and kids and then hung him to make it seem like a double murder suicide. also benoit never called in. there were 5 txt messages. anyone could txt message from his phone and also why would he first txt from his phone then txt from his wifes. it's just so hard for me to take in.
I agree that it's near impossible to understand what happened, but I think we have to face facts. He text messaged his home address to people with the note, "The dogs are outside and the garage door is open." Seems like a pretty clear way of making sure that someone would come find the bodies (and take care of the dogs).
what about kevin sullivan? wasn't he the exhusband of nancy? he didn't really like benoit. chris and eddie left Sullivan after Chris won the wcw belt. Look at eddie he's gone and now chris. Sullivan didn't have a relationship with Brian Pillman also and he's gone also.
Benoit, what a disgrace
Seem too be a rush to judgement. got too love that wwe washes there hands of him 24 hrs later not too lose money only reason! I mean i think alot of the deaths are strange ms. elisabeth was killed ? was that in atlanta too or down south where the cops suck. there should be like 15 investigation going on too what happen but will there be NO casue down in atlanta they can cover stuff up easy and get payed off. atlanta thats where they shoot judges in court and walk out front door what a joke city!!!
this is the saddest news to me, i am a big fan of Benoit's and had the greatest respect for what I saw of him as a wrestler. This is so unbelivable it is uncomprehendable.whatever happened is a great loss for his family, the wrestling world and his fans.
i think theres a conspiracy, what kind of family emergency they are into that makes chris just fly back home and leave the VENGEANCE? first eddie, then chris whose next rey? if that happens then theres really a big conspiracy going on and it started with eddie's case.
i was there i saw when sullivan hit chris in the back with a hammer and he also did it to his family then he hung benoit and then choked benoit family
Personally, I don't think he did it. The whole thing just doesn't make sense. First off, everyone who knew him said he loved his kids and family meant a lot to him. Second, the pattern and the delays between killings doesn't fit someone who was in a fit of rage.
let look things over Chris loved Danny, i don't know how he felt about Nancy but i don't think he could of done it,look hard research back to Eddie let say someoneget into there home someone they know they kill Nancy hold Danny get chris at gun point wait text friends, them kill his son they wait texts friends again,wait them they have Chris hang himself think about it
Chris was in the doctor's office on Friday. He was smiling while a fan took what turned out to be the last picture of him alive. Then, he went home. His wife, Nancy was the ex-wife of Kevin Sullivan. As "Mrs SullivaN, she was aka "Fallen Angel" while her husband Kevin was known as "Lucifer". The Sullivan couple had a storyline going about satanism and Charles Manson. Nancy was 43 years old. Maybe she was in menopause as well as stressed out and depressed. How are we to know if she killed the child and Chris found him when he came home, then snapped and killed her? Or, suppose it was a homicide? A vengeance killing? Jericho said that Benoit told him last year that he felt like he was being followed, watched or something to that effect. His first wife, Martina, the mother of his 14 year old son David and 10 year old daughter Megan, called the reports of the murder/suicide "Crap". I agree with her. God knows the truth about what happened. My prayer is that God will comfort Chris Benoit's parents, his wife Martina and his two children. Daniel is in Heaven with his Dad that whom he adores. For those who are hating on Chris right now, think of his family and friends. They love him.
I think Chris Benoit is a great man. He is normal. But Only God Knows why this foolish thing happened to him and his family? By the way, We should pray for him and his family, guys and girls. R.I.P. Love and peace.
i belive if there was a rumor on the internet that someone knows something more. there is noway that someone would be able to findout this information 14 hours before the police knew something is not right. i have watched wrestling for 35 years and i cannot see beniot doing this. please findout the facts for people like me because everytime i see the picture of beniot and his son pisses me off to extreme. i want to know the truth because i dont think he did it. maybe they need to look at other facts. i have many questions i could ask. maybe checkout kevin sullivan he has always been a nut. and i want people to know who i am so i will not be anonymous my name is misty and i hope others feel this way.
The tragic deaths of Chris Benoit and his wife Nancy and son Daniel have shocked the wrestling world. The police are calling it a double-murder-suicide, but is it really? Let's look at some facts. It has been 10 years exactly since Nancy divorced Kevin Sullivan to marry Chris Benoit. In the 1980's Sullivan, along with his then-wife Nancy, were running a gimmick in wrestling of how they were Satanists, and Nancy was known as "The Fallen Angel." She later became known as "Woman." The trouble with the Satanists gimmick was it was for real, and was not a work, or fake. In the 1990's Kevin Sullivan was the booker for WCW, and he scripted his wife Nancy into having an affair with Chris Benoit who was a member of the Four Horsemen. This made for a good angle, except, the acting became reality as Chris and Nancy actually fell in love and Nancy divorced Sullivan to marry Benoit. Benoit left the WCW to go to work for the WWE which was then known as the WWF. It is a fact that Sullivan threatened Benoit and told him he would kill him. Yes, that was 10 years ago, but Kevin Sullivan is no dummy. He is known for being a calculating, cold-hearted individual. Today, according to a source close to me, Kevin Sullivan is a high ranking member of the Satanic Church. The police need to consider the possibility that Sullivan carried out these gruesome murders in order to have his revenge, which is what Satanists live for. He could have entered the home, with an accomplice or accomplices and held the Benoit's at gunpoint, Sullivan could have then bound up Nancy, and made Benoit and his son watch as he strangled the life out of her. Then the next day after making Benoit and his son spend the day in agony, murdered Benoit's little boy because of his hatred for the offspring of Benoit and Nancy. Then he could have made Benoit wait an entire day before killing him to by hanging him in the basement. By doing this, not only would Kevin Sullivan have lived out his Satanic Church creed with his lust for revenge, but he would have destroyed Chris Benoit's reputation which is what has happened now as the wrestling world is attacking the memory of Chris Benoit remembering him as an insane baby killer and wife killer instead of the great World Champion wrestler and friend that he was. Satanists hate the Bible and the police have stated that a Bible was found next to the bodies of Benoit's wife and son. This would serve as a bizarre calling card as if to either say "What good did your Bible do you?" or to throw off investigators to keep them from suspecting Sullivan and his Satanists would have been involved. Another thing to note is the fact that Kevin Sullivan was also associated with Sherri Martel, who died just a few days before the bodies of Chris Benoit, and his family was found, and the full details of Martell's death have not been made known as of the time of this writing. I wonder why the police have not even considered investigating the possibility the Kevin Sullivan killed Benoit, Nancy, and their child. It is certainly a possibility worth looking in to. Also, Benoit was going to be crowned ECW World Champion on Sunday night. Why would he murder his family and kill himself when he was going to be on top again and make lots more money? Why would he tie his wife up before killing her? He would have no reason to, but Kevin Sullivan sure would! Sure he had some problems with Nancy, but that was 4 years ago and what married couple doesn't have problems? Remember also that they reconciled and as far as everyone knows there has been no other incidents reported. One also needs to consider the fact that Benoit loved his kids and was so proud of his son that was killed. His kids wore suits and ties to his wrestling events and was proud of their dad. He was loved and respected by all those who knew him. In my opinion, there is no way he would have murdered his family. This whole murder case has Satanists written all over it and Sullivan is a Satanist and has the motive to murder them. I am encouraging anyone who reads this to send this to police authorities and circulate it on the internet, so these facts can be investigated, before the case is closed and Benoit is written off in history a murderer. If Sullivan is the real killer, justice should be served!
chris didn't do it i know dat in my heart i've met christ and he was sucha nice guy he would reply to fan mail (how many wwe superstars do that these days?) he would take his son to his warm ups why would he then turn around and kill his wife and son?? then him self? i don't think he did it at all the whole thing is a set up to make it look like chris benoit someone got in there house tied up this wife waited for chris to come home then kill his wife infront of chris then killed his son and hung chris thats what i think!
Iam from Africa,Kenya a real fan of wrestling too,and Chris Benoit was one of my favourite wrestlers and i also aggree that someone else must have commited the murders.Chris Benoit is not capable of doing that.And honestly i really think the police should investigate the Murders.Finally for all wreatling fans like me i recon,"Its a great loss"RIP Chris.Your memories will remain in our minds forever as one of the greatest WWE SUPERSTARS.
he was a real hero..what ever the actions of his lead to this tragedy his battles over the years will be unforgettable in wrestling history
i dont get it too many unanswered questions to me. chris was a big man why would he need to tie his wife up to kill her makes no sense, this is one fact that really bothers me. as many wrestling moves he knows i dont think he would have had to tie her up to kill her. rest in peace chris nancy and daniel may God bless and keep you all.
it is a unsolved mystery so all those people with bad comments keep them to your self cause he could of got murder by somebody else and his family
i have followed wrestling all my life, 30 yrs. i find it very hard to belive that chris had any thing 2 do with this. how many hours passed between the murders and suicide? dont u think those close 2 the benoits would have known something? it just dosent make sense! when he went to see the doctor and his staff just hours before he was going to kill his wife, comeon just think about it! the man has a lot of money dont any think its possible that this was a kidnapping gone bad? what about kevin sullivan, isnt he like a real life satan worshipper maybe he didnt do it himself but what if he had been planning this 4 yrs, what if nancy and daniel were poisioned? ive done some checking roid rage usually dosnt last 4 days. i think theres way 2 many unanswered ?s here but then agian he might have just snapped but what caused that? everyone who talked to him in the days prior says he seemed fine? sounds like a good wwe storyline, wish that really were the case!!! r.i.p chris,nancy, daniel we will see in heaven buddy!!!!!!!!!!!
i dont think Benoit killed he's family kevin killed benoit and he's family on the weekend kevin wanted to have a kid with nancy 10 years ago .But nancy had a kid with benoit so kevin wanted revege on benoit so kevin killed nancy danil and benoit then put bibles next to the body's.
chris benoit was the best wreslter in the world. benoit did not killed his wife and son someone else killed this nice family. wwe should be there for the benoit family because wwe made alot of money of mr.benoit the wwe should pay money to benoit two kids that are in this world today.
I am going to tell my family and friens not to be a wwe fan because wwe is forgeting what a real family is wwe is forgeting chris benoit and his family and there forgeteing nancy benoit family. wwe is not about taking care of the wreslter's familys the wwe is about geting rich. the wwe is fogeting what"s more important for the wrslter"s and is there familys that"s why the wreslers give a good show to the kids and adults for there familys.
My son has a wwe& smack down ps2 game and he likes it alot his wresler in the game is chris benoit. my son tells me I hope the wwe don"t take chris benoit from the wwe ps2 game in 08 and 09 because it will make me sad. the point of playing ps2 games is having the wrestler that we like in the ps2 and my son likes chris benoit in his ps2 game. the wwe don"t have respect to chris benoit family and nancy family. Rest in Peace Chris Benoit Nancy Benoit Daniel benoit.
Its really sad to lose a superstar like Christ Benoit. He's a hero and its impossible that he coulld have killed wife Nancy and son Daniel. Sure he may have had problems in his married life (anyway, who don't have probles in their married life) but i don't think he would have mercilessly killed his own flesh and blood for that. Its unimaginable, no father would do such a thing to his son. So, please stop calling Benoit a murderer. Dunno what hell the poor man may have undergone that day. If he has really murdered his family then all then God already got him punished but if he didn't, then may the real murder pay for all the cruelties he's done. Rest in peace Christ Benoit.. You'll always be in our heart..
Hello wrestling fans. I have been watching wrestling for over 20 years. I guess you can say that I'm a fan. But I know a hell of a lot more about murders. I'm from the ghetto. I used to live in Atlanta some years back. Please follow what you are about to read. Let's disregard the popularity of Chris Beniot. True... Chris was taking steriods. I knew it and was able to see the differences in his body size and shape (same as Eddie). To my understanding roid rage last 3-4 days. The timing is way off. He went to see his doctor on Friday. Then he supposively went home to kill his wife. OK.. He's big ass shit. He really wouldn't have to tie his wife up to kill her. Was it a broken neck that she suffered or what? Now. Daniel... A son that loves his father and his father loves him. A child knows his father. If something was wrong.. Daniel would have known before it all happened. Chris would have had to keep Daniel quiet one way or another for a day. Kill him and then sit around the house panicing about what to do next. ...........BUT HOLD UP........... Someone had already known of this before any of it happened. I have strong beliefs in sensing things before it happens. but get real. Some internet geek can get paid to do shit over the net. This is what I urge to authorities to do. 1. Do a lot of cross referencing with Chris and his business engagements and handlings. 2. Talk to relatives about what their marital problems really were 3. Find out how long Chris had on his contract with the WWE. 4. Steriods make a person paronoid. Find out why he told Edge that he felt somebody was following or watching him 5. Get the finger prints off the phones (every inch of all phones). you will at least know if there were gloves worn 6. We know that Chris loved the job. But, what was his relationship with others (everybody) 7. Past personal relationships should be taken into strong consideration. 8. Check out the internet guy. He knows something. 9. Why is it that the WWE is going forward not mentioning Chris. That is odd. For all the inquires and concerns about this tragedy. Please notice that I nearly asked the same question 3 times. Unfortunately for the rest of the Beniot family.. This tragedy was nothing more than a cut short storyline that was written... By a person. Rest In Peace to Chris, Nancy, and Daniel Beniot. And, I send my prayers to the rest of the Beniot Family and Fiends.
I like to say that chris benoit did not kill his family, chris benoit was a family man. july 14,07 Nancy benoit and daniel are going to have a memorial sevice and this day I will never forget because is my birthday tommorw and I am a big wrestling fan but thats not the point. Chris benoit was a nice guy and a good father and a good husband. I hope the wwe see that chris benoit was not a bad guy and chris benoit has two more kids and the wwe needs to take care of chris benoit two kids for life because their father is gone. chris benoit took care of his other two kids but now whats going to happen who is going to take care of the kids finacialy. I hope the wwe takes care of chris benoit two kids for life. Rest in peace chris benoit nancy and daniel benoit.
You know I am so glad that I found this sight, because I have told my husband from the minute I heard about this that Chris did not kill Nancy and Daniel. Someone tried to hard to make it look like Chris did it. Now I see there are so MANY others that believe as I do. How come the police call it a murder suicide? I pray that the police really do some good investigating and find out that someone or someones killed the Benoit family and that Chris could not of done it. He just doesn't seem the type. Just like many of you have said why would he tie Nancy up and the news said that he knelt on her back with such force that she had briuses on her back and her stomach. I could not see Chris hurting Nancy like that. And the news said that Chris put a choke hold on Daniel and possibly broke his neck, no way, do you see how big Chris's forearms and upper arms are I just can't imagine that Chris would do that to Daniel, no way. Someone else did this and probaly more than one person. The police need to find out what really happened. God Bless Chris, Nancy and Daniel. May You All Rest In Peace.
I like to say that chris benoit did not kill his family. chris benoit loved his family and wrestling. The wwe should put chris benoit in the wwe hall of fame because chris was the best wrestler in the world. chris did not kill his family someone alse did chris was a nice person and he would never hurt his family or anyone. this is how I fill. The wwe should put chris benoit in the wwe hall of fame 2008 and chris should still be on the wwe shop.com the wwe has to have more respect to chris benoit and his family because chris and nancy and daniel benoit are gone but there will always be with us in our hearts. Rest in peace chris and nancy and daniel benoit. god bless you.
Hello Chris Beniot fans... I put a comment on here recently. I'm still waiting to see the authorities do some real work in this case. Look, I don't know him personally. I've met a few wrestlers over the years. There's not that much anger or roid rage in the world that a man will choke out his own son. I'm a proud father of 1 boy and 2 girls. I just cant see that happening. And still.. I find it odd that the WWE moved on as if Chris didn't exist. Somewhere in the company... Somebody knows more than what is being told.. I've seen too many crimes and dead bodies.. Let's put away my love for wrestling.. I'm no Chris Beniot fan.. I'm going to keep it real.. The storyline of Chris Beniot's death was written before it happened. Get it... STORYLINE... The powers that be should be lucky as hell that I'm no cop.
I like to say that chris benoit did not kill his family. I had a dream and the dream told me that chris and nancy and daniel were happy together. this dream told me something and the something was that chris benoit did not kill his family because he was a family man and he loved his family. Someone else killed this nice family. Chris Benoit was not a monster he was a nice guy and a good dad and a good husband and this is not right chris benoit did not kill his family. Rest in Peace Chris Benoit and Nancy benoit and Daniel Benoit. we will miss you and god bless you.
Hmmm... Cuckoo pants
Chris Benoit should be in the wwe hall of fame in 08.
I think Chris Benoit is a good man and I do not think he killed his wife Nancy or his little boy Daniel I think someone else did this and set it up as a murder suicide. Rest In Peace Chris Benoit, Nancy and Daniel Benoit. I hope and pray they find the real killer and clear his name Love & Prayers, Anonymous Fan
The deal with this case all the people say that chris benoit is a monster, no one was elese was at chris benoit house. The only people at benoit house was chris and nancy and daniel. no one knows what happend and this case don"t make sence. chris benoit was not a monster and someone set him up to be a monster. Chris Benoit was a nice guy and loved his family and he loved wrestling and the wwe should put chris benoit in the hall of fame. Rest in peace chris benoit and nancy benoit and daniel banoit.
Too many things did not check out. I feel Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and son Daniel where killed and not by Chris Benoit, by someone who had it in for this family. I pray they catch these awful people and clear Chris Benoit's name. Rest in Peace Chris, Nancy, Daniel Benoit. Love & Prayers, Anonymous

Someone else killed Chris Benoit and his Family, someone that did not like Chris Benoit and his family because the Benoit Family had it all money and fame. This case does not make sense because Chris Benoit was a nice dad and a nice husband and he loved his family vary much and I hope they Find the the people Responsible that killed this Family. Rest in peace Chris Benoit and Nancy Benoit and Daniel Benoit.
The case is the wwe is going down hill because of drugs and the death of this wrestlers the wwe is still making $$$$$ of the dead wrestlers and that is not ok because this wrestlers have family and bills like everybody else and the wwe still making $$$$$ of the wreslers. I hope Nancy Benoit family gets money from the wwe. I hope Chris Benoit two other kids get alot of money from the wwe because Chris Benoit is not coming back to suppot his kids. Rest in peace Chris Benoit and Nancy Benoit and Daniel Benoit.
Chris was a loving family man. He was respected by so many. I have read many pages on this so called "ROID RAGE". According to the specialists who went over his body, yes he was positive to steroids in his system, but the steroids found in his system DO NOT equate to"roid rage". We should not jump to conclusions until the facts are out.
Its hard to say whether Chris Benoit killed his son Daniel and wife Nancy because we were not there. Only God knows so I ask the good Lord to pardon Chris if he did commit these crimes and may all three souls rest in peace. The reason why I am like this toward Chris is that, if he did do these things, well he is only human. I'm not condoning murder at all, but you must realise that the devil has ways of destroying someones life when they are on a high. Everybody makes mistakes, and as far as God is concerned a sin is never too small or too great, a sin is a sin. So all of you condemners out there, if you have never committed a crime in your entire life, then by all means strike the first stone.......
rip crh
May Chris Benoit, Nancy Benoit, Daniel Benoit all rest in peace. Prayers for their family. I wish we all learn the truth about this ordeal. I still think Chris Benoit did not do this to himself and his family. Prayers, Anonymous
Hey man I was your big fan I wanted to say your my faverite wrestler.I well miss you so much.
there is no conspiracy it was roid rage idiots. He was a great wrestler and i have respect for what he's done it's just another case of drugs taking control .The people that wreslte each other in the wwe wcw ect were all friends it was an act wat r u guys 5?
There's too many missing pieces of the puzzle and too many questions unanswered. Why were Bibles placed near the victims? Why were beer cans tossed about the house if Benoit wasn't a drinker? Is it really possible to hang yourself with weight utility without any assistance? Why was it so urgent for Benoit to catch a flight back to his home when he was about to participate in a championship match? Lastly, what about the eerily coincidental Wikipedia entry? Someone may know a lot more than they claim. Obviously the authorities decided to blame these horrific actions on steroids and past abuse issues instead of investigating these mysterious happenings. Either way, the truth will prevail.
