Rest In Peace, Chris Benoit (merged)

It is a sad ****ing world if we have to ask if this is real or not.

If it is real, VKM should never ever do another death angle.

This sucks. Benoit was one of my favorites. I was a fan of his for a long time.

Too many wrestlers have died way too young. So ****ing sad.

WOW... this one is a shocker.... I love watching Chris wrestle. RIP

R.i.p

RIP Chris, I saw him wrestle live he was amazing, he will be missed.

So sad. Everyone pretty much agrees that he's one of the greatest in ring performers. Again, RIP Chris

I believe the personal reasons were his friend and tag partner Biff Wellington passing away

also, his wife was "Woman" the former WCW and ECW valet

I got to meet Benoit at an ECW show in Philly in 94. The guy literally made me like Pro Wrestling again.

A co-worker brought this to my attention today (we work on the WWE license together), and I took about 10 minutes to check all the news sites for any info. I didn't find any, except on WWE.com. A current plot line, from two weeks ago, is that Vince McMahon died when his limo blew up - is this also part of the plot line?

No, it's not apart of the plot line. In fact, they've dropped the angle altogether. It's off the WWE.com front page and VKM made reference of it in the beginning of the broadcast stating that he'd cancelled tonight's RAW where they would have continued the VKM blew up angle in lieu of a 3-hour tribute to Chris. Chris is survived by his two kids of his first marriage.

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when an entertainment organization is so ****ed up that when a real tragedy happens, no one is sure whether to believe it or not.

Damn, that sucks. He was my favorite, too. :(
