Chris Benoit dead

[KRS]

That was the best thing they possibly could have done tonight.

Could you be kind enough to share what happened? I have Sky, but none of the sports channels.

[The Fireball]

Can someone tell those of us without sky sports what is going on?

[Finlay]

Yes respect. They did the right thing for once.

Thanks Neil

Basically, he commented on the current storyline, and how it was meant to continue the demise of his "character" but, he commented on the reality of the situation. He was visably choked. you could hear it. He called Chris one of the best of all time.

I have been visiting this forum for years. Always reading but never posting.Until now.I haven't been this shocked since Eddy, however due to his past habits I always feared the worst. Chris Benoit to me was gonna be like Stu Hart. Around forever, or near enough. I was just going to bed and thought i'd check for news. It's not only his passing but his family too that makes this all the more tragic, no matter how it occurred. My first thoughts are of course suicide or murder, I hope it is neither, but whatever it will be is tragic.My favourite memory of Benoit was meeting him in London a few years ago. I shook his hand and I swear no body had a handshake like that man. It was like a Vice and I have shaken hands with a fair few wrestlers. I told him that as a pure wrestler he was unequaled and he looked up, looked me in the eye and said thank you.In a sport where ego's tend to rule, Benoit was an exception to that rule.Rest in peace Chris Benoit

It was weird not hearing the audience cheer at the end of the tribute video.

Exactly. Everyone expected Eddie to die young, but not Benoit. I can honestly say he is the most humble pro athlete i have ever met (even more than Ally McCoist)

[WHERES LEROY]

We should be thankful, at least, that we had that moment to savour.

[lokmad]

I just RAW on there and there are no words. Honestly, I'm completely at a loss.

[DeanoTheGame]

So is the 'Vince is dead' storyline gonna carry on after tonight? Or is it finished?

[Nick Soapdish]

Though I don't want to jump the gun, the beginning of Raw seems to suggest that Vince isn't a heartless bastard all the time, and I think he has done the right thing
