WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife and son were found dead Monday and police said they were investigating the deaths as a homicide.

Lt. Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department said the three were found at their home about 2:30 p.m., but refused to release details.

Pope said results of autopsies on Benoit, his wife Nancy, and 7-year-old son Daniel were expected Tuesday.

Benoit, 40, was a former world heavyweight champion, Intercontinental champion and held several tag-team titles over his career.

"WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family's relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy," the federation said in a statement on its Web site.

Benoit was scheduled to perform at the "Vengeance" pay-per-view event Sunday night in Houston, but was replaced at the last minute because of what announcer Jim Ross called "personal reasons."

Benoit, a Canadian native, maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling.

The WWE canceled its live "Monday Night RAW" card in Corpus Christi, Texas, and USA Network aired a three-hour tribute to Benoit in place of the scheduled wrestling telecast.

If anyone didn't know, Benoit's wife Nancy was actually a popular female manager back in WCW days. She was known as "Woman".

And I stopped watching wrestling when the Rock left to go Hollywood.

Yup, that's when it all came crashing down, at least for me...WWF started to became WWE and all that bullshit. Actually last summer, me and a few friend's found some old WWF tapes I had, watched them with some beers...it was great. Also DLed some Rock quotes off Limewire...so fucking funny...he was definitely one of the best, if not the best, character ever.

And THC, I know what you mean about the characters. My all-time favorite would have to be Bret 'The Hitman' Hart...

I'm not a big fan of wwe as I was in the past when Stone cold, HHH, generation X, The Rock, The undertaker, Kane to name a few... That I liked watching...

But to hear this news about Chris Benoit I don't know what to say...
I jest wounder who could do such a horrible thing...

R.I.P Chris....

[OniEhtRedrum781]

Poor Chris...

I found it a little strange that he no-showed his title match last night...




RIP Chris Benoit 1967 - 2007

Besides the scripting of the characters and the match, there's nothing really fake about it...talking

It's not a sport it's sports entertainment. They aren't trying to hurt each other they're trying to make it look like they are hurting each other. Occasionally they do get hurt but that's not the goal.

WWE was so much better during The Rock/ Stone Cold days. Spraying the owner down with beer is classic. Who doesn't want to spray down their boss with beer or hit them with a bedpan? A lot of the new wrestlers lack charisma.

The chics are hotter now though.

I will not be surprised if this is a murder/suicide.

[FreeVenice]

It was just announced that it was a murder/suicide on FOX. . .sucks

[FakeBoobsRule]

Well one nickname was toothless aggression...
