Absolutely Gutted! Was perhaps the most hard-working, most determined and most accomplished guys at the WWE and to die at 40 is an injustice. I dunno what went on but i hope his name doesn't get dragged through the mud about it. ps. Best match I'v ever seen - Benoit v Angle 2004 Royal Rumble...that match summed both of them up.
According to WWE site it soundsllike he's killed his wife and son and then himself http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/superstars/chrisbenoit/articles/benoitupdate
They cancelled the live show and did a tribute instead and Vince Mcmahon, the person who was apparently dead, opened the show with a speech.</p> </p> "<font size="2" face="verdana">The show opens to a wide angle shot of an empty American Bank Center in Corpus Christy, Texas. Vince McMahon, abandoning his storylined death, stood alone in the ring and delivered the following message: "Good evening. Tonight this arena here in Corpus Christi, Texas would have been filled to capacity with enthousiatic WWE fans. Tonight's storyline was to have been the alleged demise of my character, Mr. McMahon. However, in reality, WWE superstar Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and their son Daniel are dead. Their bodies were discovered this afternoon in their new, suburban, Atlanta home. The athourities are undergoing an investigation. We here in the WWE can only offer our condolences to the extended family of Chris Bennoit. And the only other thing we can do at this moment is, tonight, pay tribute to Chris Benoit. We will offer you some of the most memorable moments in Chris' professional life and you will hear, tonight, comments from his peers - those here, his fellow performers - those here, who loved Chris and admired him so much. So tonight will be a three hour tribute to one of the greatest WWE superstars of all time. Tonight, we pay tribute to Chris Benoit.""</font> </p>
RE: Absolutely Gutted! When you say 'best match' do you mean 'best play'. Cos in all fairness it is completely staged just like a play. No difference between WWE/WWF etc and the swordfight in Romeo & Juliet.
