Re: Chris Benoit and Wife found dead
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I don't get how people are so affected by a celebrity's death. It's completely baffling to me. [/ QUOTE ] While I mostly agree with this sentiment, there's something about wrestling that makes it different. The performers bond with the audience to a degree that is beyond any other form of entertainment. While they're playing characters, you really get to know that person to a degree every week. And this guy in particular was one of the hardest working, most technically proficient performers that I've seen. It's pretty tragic. In a way I don't really even want to know what happened. [/ QUOTE ] QFT. Celeb deaths that made me really sad. Phil Hartman. This. That's about it. I'm usually as callous as anybody, but this one hurts. [/ QUOTE ] I'm right with you here. I flipped through the channels last week and saw him perform on the Smackdown broadcast. He was one of my favorite wrestlers. It's more than the celebrity death - it's his whole family that died that gets me... |

Re: Chris Benoit and Wife found dead
I cant believe this. He was on TV a week ago. I just got home and I'm just stunned.
For those who don't really follow wrestling, he was a real class act as well as a talented performer. He spent most of his career held down by wrestling politics. Edit: And now every wrestling site I can think of is down. |

Re: Chris Benoit and Wife found dead
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I have a feeling he may have been dead for a day or two.....He no showed a show a couple of days ago aside from missing the PPV last night. [/ QUOTE ] He supposedly called WWE late yesterday to cancel his PPV appearance. [/ QUOTE ] If he no showed the PPV, which I doubt, WWE should have known something was really wrong. Benoit was probably going to win the ECW title last night. WWE even announced last night that Benoit had a family emergency and was being replaced in the match. On a selfish note, 3 hours of Benoit matches makes for the best Raw in a long time. |

A different kind of hurt, but then not only does it suck that he's dead, but also that he was [censored] in the head or whatever. |

Re: Chris Benoit and Wife found dead
I remember the good old days, when a chair shot was the end of the argument. I guess since the Sopranos are off the air, Razor Ramon just whacked his entire family. I would also focus the investigation on Bad News Brown.
