This was a huge shock to me. I used to always watch wrestling and really liked him as a wrestler so this really is really fucked up.

i dont know, i think the fire extinguisher means business....

I dunno, when someone ties their wife up with wire and strangles her, then smothers his sleeping son, before hanging himself. I find that a fairly surprising course of action whether I know them or not.

Maybe i'm just getting old. Who knows.

People shouldn't be surprised to hear some entertainer did something just because you thought you had a clue about who they were based on their interviews or films etc... The act itself is disgusting but reaction based on celebrity status, is just sad.

Fair enough. Agreed.

[the ikara cult]

This is awful stuff. I was always cynical to wrestling but last year i lived opposite this guy who was completely dedicated to wrestling, and everyone laughed at him (in a jokey way), but when i looked at him and realised it was his massive passion i kinda looked at it in a new light - seeing as how im never going to become a musician yet i love music, is that really different to him being so passionate about wrestling? He was really sad when Eddie Guererro died, and it made me look more into wrestling. When you look at how they portray their characters it takes alot of ability to go out and do a speech in front of a stadium in character, even if it is a 2D character, alot of them are very effective at doing it. Anyway this guy was a big fan of Chris Benoit and he always said how he was great at being a skilled wrestler rather than some bruiser, and that kinda made me look at wrestling in a new light as well. I know its off topic slightly in terms of the murders, but i dont remember there being a wrestling topic on here before

hahahahha
wheres the one where benoit is holding the pillow?

[atsonicpark]

anyone seen the chris benoit wiki?

it's nuts.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Benoit

some dude from stamford connecticut (where the wwe is located) on wikipedia apparently posted that his wife died like 12 hours before the cops even found the body.

he was apparently just joking about it and not knowing it was true, just one of your typical wikipedia vandalizers.

now he's being investigated by the police and shit. haha.

I'm appalled that this is still a topic of conversation, even on this board.

Benoit wrestle hold killed son


By SIMON ROTHSTEIN of THE LILSBOYS
July 02, 2007

COMMENT ON THIS STORY


IN another disturbing twist on the Chris Benoit killings, it now appears the grappler murdered his seven-year-old son using his own wrestling finishing hold.
Police in Georgia are speculating that Benoit ended young Daniel's life with the Crippler Crossface – the same move that he used in almost all his matches, including when he beat Triple H for the heavyweight title at WWE WrestleMania XX.

District Attorney Scott Ballard said: "A choke hold was used to strangle the boy, rather than hands, because there's no bruising consistent with strangulation by hands."

Respected American wrestling scribe Dave Meltzer added: "The police investigators were perplexed by the nature of the bruising on Daniel, until one of them watched footage of a Benoit wrestling match, saw him using the move, and in looking closely, realized the bruising patterns on Daniel matched the application of the hold."

[Toilet & Bowels]

geat opening line by the sun though:

"WWE legend Chris Benoit spent the weekend murdering his wife and son before committing suicide on Monday, American police have said."


spent, it makes it sound so casual and pleasant
