I am a huge fan of WWE. I understand that the whole thing is concocted drama (an alternative of our hindi melodramas) but still I enjoy the show. The recent death of Chris Benoit comes as a big shock to me. Edie Gurero’s death was also a big shock to me. Is the drama really getting into reality?
The 40-year old was found dead in his home having hanged himself on a weight pulley machine. It is believed he also strangled his wife Nancy to death, as well as his son Daniel who was suffocated.
The Canadian-born wrestler was unable to appear at scheduled shows this weekend due to a “family emergency”. After receiving a number of curious text messages from Benoit, WWE asked authorities to check his home in Fayetteville, Georgia where they found all three dead bodies, each having been killed one a day, Nancy on Friday, Daniel on Saturday and Benoit himself on Sunday.
The replacement of Monday Night RAW to the tribute show were made before the full facts surrounding Benoit’s death were apparent. Before Tuesday night’s ECW show, Vince McMahon made the following statement:
“However, some 26 hours later,” he said, “facts of this horrible tragedy are now apparent. Therefore, other than my comments there will be no mention of Mr. Benoit’s name tonight. On the contrary, tonight’s show will be dedicated to everyone who has been affected by this terrible incident. This evening marks the first step of the healing process. Tonight WWE performers will do what they do better than anyone else in the world - entertain you.”
Speculation is still circulating that the consumption of steroids by Benoit resulting in paranoia, depression and explosive behaviour (otherwise known as roid rage) were responsible for his actions.
Bold and italics are my addition. It calls for a huge debate, is the violence really getting on their nerves? What should the government do to prevent such belligerent sports? Well the obvious reaction of Indian government would be to ban it but then what about the entertainment it provides?

R.I.P
BENOIT FAMILY
I also liked Chris Benoit. I however feel that the facts that have been released to the public are not consistent with him committing these crimes himself. I believe there was someone else involved. Too many things do not add up. I am not the only person who feels this way. Many of my friends and family feel the same way. We still are wondering why this happened as everyone is, but we feel that the facts that have been revealed are to suspicious and do not coincide with “roid rage” or him having done these horrible crimes. It’s obvious for anyone to see.
I Like Benoit , but what he do with his family dont have any sence.
Benoit fuck u mother fucker i want that you go to the hell
he is gone
i like his song theme!! 
who all died in WWF… i heard Mr. micman is no more….chris ia also gone…this year
Mr. McMahon is not dead. That just a script write in for a publicity stunt. I can’t believe he would stoop that low just for publicity. Only Chris and his family are dead. May they all R.I.P.
Im really sorry u r gone but i hope u r doin well.u will always have a place in my heart.
Chris u now u no u didn’t have no sence dragging your wife and son into your death.Just because your u were having some ruff times don’t mean u had to kill yourself and your wife and son.But some of use had some words to ask u before u died.But it was to late.And always remember in some of our hearts u will have a place there and your wife and son to.R.I.P to all.
Chris u no that u didn’t have to drag your family into your death.Just because u were having some ruff times don’t mean u had to take it out on your wife and son.But always remember in some of our hearts u will have a place in some of our hearts.R.I.P to u and your wife and son.
I was reviewing the comments. I can’t believe that Mr. McMahon is turning his back on Chris Benoit. He was also effected by this. I am not excusing his actions, but no one knows what the circumstances surrounding his actions.
He will be missed. 
Hey i am the champ john cena and boby lashley it is on now fool, but chris i luv you man
Chris benoit was the best of all he i dont know why some of you hate him.he didnt do anything to you

Chris Benoit was great wrestler. He was the reason i started wathcing it. The night it was annouced that he was dead my heart and sympothy went out his and his wifes family. Im truly sorry for thier loss and they all will be in my prayers
it sadden me to hear of chris and nancy and daniel benoits death
Chris benoit was one of my favourate wrestlers. his death really shocked me, but this is funny …the way some people are commenting senselessly. under normal circumsences he wouldnt do such a thing, i believe some thing is not right somewhere. so the investigation should go on until the reliable source is found. let the press not relly on the immeadiate information unless they are hiding something. Sorry may his soul R.I.P
chris benoit was the king of suplexs and I hope montel vontavious porter (mvp) that he loses his united states championship
I don’t know nothing about wrestling but i loved (christy)that was the name that we used to calle him when we played at mamas and fathers
i was his dick for his ass PS:I hope you find out my name because its
spanish
why did he do it
as far as im concerned benoit did not commet this hoorfic event i belive that someone was trying to keep him from the ppv event in wich case they where holding his famile as a tecnic but an accident accuried with the death of his wife wich i belive his son and beniot witnessedso to all the people that want to throw gas on a burning fire i say stop putting benoit in your jokes and saying that he iwas a bad father cause only the true fan of wrestling understand what kind of father he was we all know that he was a good man thank you for your time a proud beliver in that beniot and his famile where murredi just wish that the wwe would wake nup and relise it and let the man in the hallof fame cause no matter what he was a great wrestler and he helped make the industrie the way it is today
