[QUOTE="GettingTired"]What? Any link OUTSIDE wwe? I see nothing CNN.LostProphetFLCL

I would hope they would be busy with news on the war and stuff like that....

A whole celebrities family being murdered would show up on CNN.

The WWE wrestlers aren't exactly celebrities.....

The top story on CNN right now is an article on gay adoptions :| I think a WHOLE family being murdered would make headlines on CNN.....

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]It's not been on any credible news source yet....Greatgone12

Reputable pro wrestling news sites(such as PWTorch) have been reporting this as real, and NOT a storyline. I know some people here will blow that off, but they're just about always correct(except for when speculating on rumors and whatnot). This is real. I don't even remember somewhere like CNN reporting anything on Eddie Guerrero's death a couple years ago, but I could've missed it.

RIP Benoit

In that case, it's just a matter of time before Benoit's death is reported.

I don't think they exactly go looking to WWE.com to steal stories.....

Anyways, this just got announced a little bit ago so give it some time. After all, they do have to put together a video package to play while talking about it.....

Good night, sweet prince...

You skeptics are really making me sick. Ugh.

So is this going to be on Raw tonight/ It should of been on the news by now.SithLordXX

yea, I never watched RAW but tonight I might. Its on in an hr (8.est)

You skeptics are really making me sick. Ugh.

Why? I'm not saying it isn't real, and sure if it was real, WWE would report it first. But come on, it's WWE. I'll wait till I see a reputable source.

Its real, its on TNA.com now. No way their main competer would put their fake storyline on their show, their show will be dedicted to him I think too.tman93

Agreed -- but TNA's website is tnawrestling.com.

You skeptics are really making me sick. Ugh.

JML897

I can't believe it! :shock: i thought this was not real, but i checkedWWE.com and its on there. man he was an awesome wrestler he will be missed :(Dante-2006

Yes..that's where I always go checking my facts too...

Wouldn't it be ironic is Benoit turned out to be a storyline and McMahon was actually dead?Greatgone12

Why would they make the murder of an entire family a storyline, and the death of Mr McMahon on video, with camera edits to be real?

I doubt this is part of a storyline. if it was many many people would be upset and complain and wwe would lose alot of viewer.-DSFARGEG-

im surprised they didnt last week :|

I'm sure the McMahon storyline is causing many reputable news sources to back off until there is a substantial number of details.pyroistheone

It would come from the police....therefore, news sources would report it.

Just to clarify, this is not related to the fake McMahon death storyline, this is real, as it involves his family being dead as well.

The bizarre thing is that he was scheduled to be at Vengeance last night, but was replaced by Johnny Nitro, another wrestler. JR said he had to ruch home for a family emergency. And now he and his family were found dead at their home?

Right now I'm dumbfounded.

MORE DETAILS ON DEATH OF CHRIS BENOIT & FAMILY

Details remain very sketchy regarding the tragic news today that Chris Benoit and his family were found dead at their Atlanta area home.

Benoit had been scheduled to appear on a WWE house show on Saturday. Sources tell us Benoit called to first say he would be taking a later flight, and then to say he would not be attending the house show due to a family illness. According to one source, Benoit said both his wife and son were throwing up blood and he needed to stay to take care of them.

At last night's Vengeance pay-per-view, Benoit was replaced in his match by Johnny Nitro.

No other details are available at this time and police are on the scene at the Benoit residence investigating.

I just can't believe it.

You got a link to that please?

I understand and respect the skeptics considering WWE's reputation.

As far as I can tell, this is real. There are just too many factors to consider this any kind of lame storyline. If you don't think this is real, no need to comment and piss off those mourning Benoit. Just wait until you get your CNN storyline.

If this is fake, wow, I'd stop watching WWE for a long time. It would just be sick.

It's fake news.

Not ONE non-wrestling website is reporting it.... Just do a Google news search. It is as real as McMahon being dead or whatever stunt they recently pulled.....

It's fake news.TallicaFan2005

this isnt fake news

damn thats messed up he was one of my favs when i used to watch wrestling. A toast to the flying headbutt heard round the world.

[QUOTE="Thyeora"]Hmmm...one less body builder who wears thongs and pretends to fight because he can't do anything that might benefit society...sounds more like a good day.Thyeora

Wow, you're sick. Only an idiot would speak of that of which he does not know.

Benoit was classy from the get go. He was the kind of guy who put wrestlers over all the time to help their careers. Most recenelty he took MVP under his wing.

Dude it's acting. He did it because he was paid to.

So he deserves to die for making a living?

He doesn't deserve to die. It's just not much of a loss.

If you died that wouldnt be a big loss. C.B. accomplished more in his life than you ever will.

Wow, that's terrible.

I used to see that guy all the time when I watched WCW years ago...
