On Saturday, June 23, Chris Benoit was slated to appear at a WWE
live event in Beaumont, Texas. That afternoon, Benoit contacted
WWE to inform them that his wife and child were ill, and that he
would not be able to attend the show.

WWE executives rebooked Benoit’s flight for the following
morning, allowing Benoit to miss the Beaumont event making
alternate arrangements for him to attend the pay-per-view event
in Houston on Sunday.

WWE employees attempted to confirm with Benoit his travel plans
but were unable to contact him.

Early Sunday morning, between 3:51 and 3:58 a.m., Benoit sent
five text messages to co-workers:



Text Message 1 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:53am)- Chris
Benoit’s cell phone
“My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane, Fayetteville
Georgia. 30215”

Text Message 2 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:53am)- Chris
Benoit’s cell phone
“The dogs are in the enclosed pool area. Garage side door is
open”

Text Message 3 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:54am)- Nancy
Benoit’s cell phone
“My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane.
Fayetteville Georgia. 30215”

Text Message 4 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:55am)- Nancy
Benoit’s cell phone
“My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane.
Fayetteville Georgia. 30215"

Text Message 5 to one co-worker (sent 6/24 at 3:58am)- Nancy
Benoit’s cell phone
“My address is 130 Green Meadow Lane. Fayetteville Georgia.
30215”



Throughout the day on Sunday, WWE made numerous attempts to
contact Benoit both at home and at local hospitals in the
Atlanta area. As of 11:00 p.m., WWE officials were unable to
establish contact with Chris Benoit.

At 12:30 p.m. on Monday, June 25, WWE officials were notified of
the text messages sent to the co-workers the previous day. By
12:45 p.m., WWE had contacted Fayetteville County Sheriff’s
office requesting they check on the Benoit family.

Fayetteville County Sheriffs office made contact with WWE at
approximately 4:00 p.m. advising that they had entered the house
of Chris Benoit and found three deceased bodies – an adult male,
adult female and a male child. WWE was told that Benoit’s home
was now considered a major crime scene.

The decision to cancel the live event scheduled in Corpus
Christi that night was made between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. In
keeping with company policy, and with limited knowledge
regarding facts of the case, WWE choose to air a memorial
dedicated to the career of Chris Benoit. As facts emerged
surrounding the case, all tributes to Chris Benoit were removed
both on-air and on WWE.com.

It gets weirder and weirder, sad sad situation.

I cant throw away the last 15-20 years I have watched him, I will seperate the character from the person. Its inexcusible what he did but we can only take solice in the fact that his wife and child are in better places.

Hopefully business does not continue as usual in wrestling, but we know it will. I am just waiting for Kurt Angle or Randy Orton to be the next one who goes because of drugs/attitude/violence

Vince made an apology about the tribute show before ECW tonight

[lordsmurf]

What's up with Vince's haircut?

From wwe.com:
"The following message from Vince McMahon aired at the beginning of Tuesday's ECW on Sci Fi:
Last night on Monday Night Raw, the WWE presented a special tribute show, recognizing the career of Chris Benoit. However, now some 26 hours later, the facts of this horrific tragedy are now apparent. Therefore, other than my comments, there will be no mention of Mr. Benoit 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, the WWE performers will do what they do better than anyone else in the world – entertain you."

He got his head shaved by Bobby Lashley and Donald Trump at Wrestlemania.

It really is a very weird sitution aint it.

Was he on crack??? I heard stories with steriods. I can't see the side effect from that driving a man to murder his family. When I first heard the news. My first thought was Sullivan. It's no secret he's a known psycho. No one would suspect 10 yrs later for something to happen. After the full report. He had to have been mixing some heavy drugs....

WWE translated = Canadian CurseMore Canadian Wrestlers has died in the WWE than anywhere else.

They said he took steroids and norchodics.The doctor said he never took Steroids before,it was the whole'When is daddy coming home"and his wife kept calling him and wondering when he will be home that drove him to take them.So they cancelled WWE Raw and ECW to look into the investigation more and check up on their Wrestlers to make sure none of them is taking it.Talking to a wrestling fan,here...lol
