So sad. I was watching a special on Benoit tonight on tv, and Edge was crying while talking about it. In a lot of these wrestling specials I've found that wrestlers seem to be very connected to one another.
And then they were showing Benoit's greatest wrestling moments, and him winning the championship belt, and he was celebrating with Eddie Guerrero. Sad, considering they've both passed.

This just makes the McMahon's death stupid. Because he faked it and Benoit is really dead. I don't like wrestling now it's too much like a soap but he was a legend

What I was gonna say exactly... hmm.. I somewhat doubt it, if so, R.I.P. Never liked him as a wrestler anyway.

On June 25, 2007, Benoit, his wife Nancy Daus, and their son Daniel were found dead in their Fayetteville, Georgia, home at around 2:30 PM EDT.[83] It was first reported to fans of WWE on their WWE Mobile Alerts Service and posted to their official website soon after. Exact details are not yet known, and an investigation is ongoing.[2] On their website, World Wrestling Entertainment released the following statement[84]:
“ World Wrestling Entertainment is deeply saddened to report that today Chris Benoit and his family were found dead in their home. There are no further details at this time, other than the Benoit family residence is currently being investigated by local authorities.
Tonight’s Raw on USA Network will serve as a tribute to Chris Benoit and his family. WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family’s relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy.
”
WWE canceled the scheduled three hour long live RAW show on June 25, and replaced the broadcast version with a tribute to his life and career, featuring his past matches, segments from the Hard Knocks DVD and comments from wrestlers and announcers.[7]
Fayette County, Georgia police are investigating Benoit's house following the discovery of the bodies. Lieutenant Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department reported to ABC News that sheriffs entered his home on a "welfare check" after missing several appointments, leading to concerns.[85] Pope also stated the police are not searching for any suspects outside of the house, as the instruments of death were located at scene of the crime.[86]
The same day Detective Bo Turner of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department told television station WAGA-TV that the case was being treated as a murder-suicide, and the station reported that investigators believe that Benoit murdered his wife and son over the weekend and commited suicide sometime on Monday. [87]
This seems to extreme to be a hoax. If he murdered his son and wife then he's a sick bastard.

There are a few wrestlers with deep emotional problems. Ultimate Warrior - Jake the Snake, Eddie Gurrera (more substance abuse than emotional). The nature of the business is to make a huge entertaining spectacle. And this so often parallels the life of the individuals involved.
Wrestling culture can heavily reinforce the idea that problems can be solved with violence. I wouldn't want to try debating with a wrestler, anger so often leads to violence with these people. Seen too many articles about wrestlers beating someone up or being involved in a fight.
Thats not to say that "everyone" in wrestling is messed up. But I believe that due to the nature of the entertainment that wrestling attracts a sma
