Chris Benoit

Chris Benoit

I just got this message, that they found Chris Benoit and his family dead in his home.

Given the gypsy nature of the WWE of late, what with the Vince McMahon is Dead storyline, I hope this isn't true.

I really hope it isn't.

Update: Well, it appears to be true. It's surprising to me that they aren't holding the Corpus Christi show live tonight, considering that they did shows the night Brian Pillman and Eddy Guerrero died, and during and right after Owen Hart died. Granted, those were PPV's, but the Owen and Eddy tribute shows were Raws held live.

As an aside, it's rough having all these tribute shows.

Especially since Eddy and Benoit were two of my favorites.

Update 8:40

The Atlanta Journal Constitution's post on it.

Authorities confirmed that Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and their 7-year-old son, Daniel, were found dead at the home on Quarters and Redwine roads in Fayetteville about 4 p.m.

Officials would not say how the family died, other than to say they weren't shot to death.
This really sucks.

9:00 As the WWE replays the Vince McMahon open, it makes me wonder where they'll go with his death angle.

Just want to say welcome to all the new readers. Google put me as the first entry on the blog part of searching "Chris Benoit." This stupid little blog's gotten more hits in the past 90 minutes than its gotten in the past two weeks.

10:45: ABC News reports that Fayette County authorities are investigating it like a possible double murder/suicide. It just gets sadder and sadder.
