Chris Benoit Is Dead
Published by simon on June 27, 2007Chris Benoit, the Canadian Crippler, the Rabid Wolverine, is dead.
Reports are circulating about the possibility of him killing his wife and son, then committing suicide, like this article.
I like Benoit. I don’t watch wrestling anymore, stopped watching it for many years, since they dropped the kayfabe thing and started coming out in the open… never mind.
But i like Benoit. He’s old-school, as the younger people would call him a ‘technical’ wrestler. Just like i am a fan of Steve Borden aka Sting, Bret ‘the Hitman’ Hart, i like Benoit because he was a wrestler first and foremost.
I loved him in WCW, but he later joined WWF (it was still WWF back then) together with Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn. Ironically, Eddie Guerrero passed away only a few years ago.
Alongside Guerrero, Benoit joins a long list of famous wrestlers passing on in recent years due to various extraordinary reasons - Davey Boy Smith, Curt Hennig (Mr. Perfect), Dino Bravo, Rick Rude, Yokozuna, Hawk (Road Warriors), Owen Hart, and four of the famous von Erich brothers. Google it up and you can see even more.
If he really did murder his family before doing the suicide deed, i can never understand why he did it, superstar or not. Whatever happened, i hope he rests in peace. As one of the news articles puts it, wrestling is fake, but the carnage left behind is real.

I am surprised !
Of all my friends to date, you are the FIRST who actually likes to watch wrestling (even though you have not watched it for many years now)!
Bet you stopped once the kids came along !
This is a real tragedy. People do die, but the circumstances of this is tragic, murder-suicide involving family members and innocent children kids is so sad.
Did you follow up on the story and found out what really took place?
ann - i used to watch as a kid with my dad! then we rented those weekly tapes from the store… i stopped because wrestling changed from actually wrestling to theaterics.
boone - police still say the same, probably due to ‘roid rage’, temporary insanity due to steroids.
Hey simon, would you like to join us? It’ll be great to have you there
Sigh. He was one of my favourite too. Those muscles are a terrible think to waste.
sad day for sports entertainment
whoa..did u read about the latest? about where someone wrote abt his wife’s death in wiki, 14 hours before the discovery of their death?
my hub is major wrestling fan.. I was made to watch it when WWF was here 5 years ago. I still remember it. It was so dang fun!
Uh huh, but the anonymous poster was from Connecticut, a long way from Benoit’s residence in Georgia. Whatever happens, I still don’t want to believe he murdered his wife and son.
