Insensitive? Far from it. I've had that thought as well but I doubt they'd fake another death.

Unless they're going to expand the "death" storyline to make it sound like someone is going around knocking off WWE talent. And I like to believe that even Vince wouldn't stoop to story that pathetic.

That's good to know. I am glad to see they are being tasteful about this.

Though a part of me wanted this to be part of that....just cuz it would mean Benoit'd be alive. It'd be tasteless but...he'd still be alive.

Damn...When Raw is I am going to make a tribute PPV to him in SD vs Raw 2007. Him and Eddie are going to be the tag champs...and Benoit's getting the Championship Title again.

Oh..and it's 3 hours tonight. I just saw Vince's introduction and...I'm already breaking down.

Chris and Eddie...I miss you guys so much...

Stephanie mentioned that she and HHH were married (everyone knew that already) BUT if I am not mistaken that is the first time that someone from the WWE has actually said something "official" about it..

When she got pregnant WWE.com announced it and said it was hhh's baby and he got pissed because they broke storyline.

Someone had better get a suicide watch on Dean Malenko. Two of his best friends died in less than two years. I hope there was no foul play involved here...

Wrestler Chris Benoit, Wife and Child Found Dead
Last Edited: Monday, 25 Jun 2007, 8:36 PM EDT

FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. (AP) -- Authorities said professional wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife and child were found slain Monday at their Fayette County home.

Lieutenant Tommy Pope of the Fayette County Sheriff's Department said the three were found about 2:30 p.m., but he would release no other details.

Pope said the deaths are being investigated as homicide, but the cause of death awaits autopsy results tomorrow.

He would not say how the bodies were discovered, or who found them.

The World Wrestling Entertainment said on its Website that the 40-year-old Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and his son Daniel were found dead but also had no other details.

The WWE said that instead of its programming Monday night on USA Network, it would air a three-hour tribute to Benoit.

That reports them as "slain".. :-(

I honestly don't think Chris would do it...

I it was the other way around, Woman killed him and their son then killed her self...

I could post from Not sure if this will work here. This News of Chris Benoit is deeply unsettling I just got threw watching RAW and I was moved to tears over Edges word an memories, and Wrestlemania XX, I didn't know chris personally, but I wll miss him, I'll miss that loosening of the neck those gripping of the wrist, That snap suplex that intensity that embodied all that right with Wrestling, The industry has lost something that comes along once in a lifetime, one of the best wrestlers, a better man, and a hell of a father you will be more then missed.

We should have the details today or tomorrow. If Chris did do this,and it looks that way, then I just would like to know why. What drives a man who has everything to do this? What was wrong? I feel terrible for their family and friends. Us wrestling fans have been handed another devastating loss to the wrestling world. I will miss watching him wrestle. This is a true travesty. I am saddened by this.

According to this article...

http://pojoslam.blogspot.com/

As of now, we know that tonight's ECW broadcast/SmackDown! taping will go on as scheduled, with no planned tribute to Benoit (because of the now-sordid scenarios of what happened) and no McMahon death storyline (which now seems like an afterthought).

No tribute tonight on ECW..

Since its looking more and more like he did it, they want to not sensationalize him.

While WWE may be out of the ordinary on certain things and storylines, when the time comes for them to do something right they do it and the do it with pride and they do it good.

While this may turn out to be a dark cloud over benoit's legacy let us all remember him for the good things he brought out in those around him.
