Let's just say this... it's very rare for the Police to say something like "murder suicide" this early unless they're pretty certain that is the case.

unbelievable!!! I thought this was just a rumor. If he did kill his wife and kid, I have no empathy for him. Although I suppose I will reserve judgement until more details surface. I will say this, there shouldn't be any more tributes for Chris Benoit until everyone knows the facts.

Maybe you should have reserved comment on judgement too. ::)

Nah, I think I would rather voice my opinion, that is if its ok with you  ::)

Man, wrestling has become a strange, strange empire. When I was a kid, it seemed innocent and fun. Andre' the Giant, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Hulk Hogan.
Now, from what I've gathered from various wrestling fans site (following this latest Benoit story)...it seems like people couldn't tell (for a long time) whether this was a "storyline" or whether it was a real double-murder/Suicide.

WTF?? How far gone has the wrestling industry gotten where you could mistake a double-murder/suicide as part of the "entertainment"? If even for a nanosecond?

I feel for the fans on this, since it seems like this Benoit guy going on a murderous rampage (if the preliminary reports are accurate) is blowing their minds. But, man, shouldn't they have taken a step back and looked at where this industry has led them?

Maybe this story will be the catalyst for positive change. It just seems to have gotten so damn violent.

WWE was already getting bad press for having a storyline with Vince McMahon being "killed" when his limo blew up. I don't watch wrestling any more, but I saw some ad on a website that said something about Vince McMahon being dead and had to go check out WWE.com to see if it was true. So, with that already in the air alot of people at first thought it was a publicity stunt. Vince McMahon cam out last night and made a statement and ended the dead plotline.

ChadTower:

Wrestling was always like this, the massive amounts of money in it over the last ten years have just magnified the strangeness.  The weird incidents didn't get much press before that because they were "just rasslers" and there wasn't enough money in the industry for it to matter.
