Chris Benoit Dead

[The Riddler]

uhh his family too?

that's crazy.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

This is sad and shocking news. R.I.P Benoit.

How does something like this happen to your whole family?

 

[jaguarr]

are there any reputable news sources reporting the story? also, that's quite the typo in the title.

A quick search of Google News revealed nothing but wrestling sites covering it. Sort of odd, actually. Makes me wonder if it's part of a storyline, sadly. Nothing's out of bounds in wrestling.

Apparently all plans for Raw tonight have been scrapped, and it will be a Benoit memorial show...so I dont think it's a storyline...then again, you never know...

That wouldn't surprise me if it was. It took me like months to come to the reality that Eddie was dead. I kept wondering if it was some sort of sick ass story line.

I noticed that too but, then again the story only broke a little bit ago.

After all the storyline-ization of Eddie's death, I still woudln't be surprised if he came back as a zombie made by the Undertaker some day

 

[mrvlknight21]

WOW, what sad news. His whole family, huh? Definitely something up with that!

 

[bstringer]

Really tragic news. His entire family?? thats so sad.

This is no storyline. As far as WWE has pushed it, they are not that sick to do that.

This also means they will have to drop the Vince storyline now.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

PW Headlines stated that Benoit called in to WWE Sunday and said he would be unable to make it back as his family was ill and they were spitting up blood.

This is Vince we're talking about, no they won't. For gods sake, Sherry Martell died last week and they barely mentioned it. And look at what they did to Eddie after he died, milking it for every penny it was worth with no regard for taste at all. By next week, we'll be back to the whole ******ed "vince=teh dead" thing that no one believed or cared about the first time they did it, when it was Austin and he got hit by a mysterious car.

[Super Kal]

What did they do with Eddie? I stopped watching early in 2005.

What did they do with Eddie? I stopped watching early in 2005.

They brought in his wife, had her turn heel (along with Chavo) and feud with Rey Mysterio over who was really his "family." It won wrestlecraps gooker of the year award (worst storyline of the year) for being so incredibly tasteless and disrespectful.

 

[Drakon]

Man, oh man.

 

[The Chairman]

My prayers go out. This is a tragedy.

 

[Elisha Cuthbert]

NOOOOOOO....one of the few wrestlers I actually like.

What? And why did his wife even go along with it?

 

[Incrediblejeff]

Oh my God,This is Horrible.I'm shocked as all hell.

Rest in Peace Benoit,Woman and Family.

My guess is, with Eddie dead she had no income, so she did it out of necessity. And don't even get me started on when they brang his f**king kid into it...

I'm glad I stopped watching....

It was really quite disgusting, and made me incredibly happy that I dont watch Smackdown, so I didn't have to see a man who was truly one of the greats be turned into nothing more than a marketing ploy.
