Here’s the latest news about the Chris Benoit murders, because I know a lot of you care judging by the readership the WWE gets on a daily basis, and how much they pull in during their pay-per-view events. The latest news is that investigators are apparently now saying that they believe the murders are the product of a murder-suicide: Benoit is believed to have murdered his wife and son over the weekend, and then waited until Monday to shoot himself. Cops were called to the Benoit residence in Atlanta by worried neighbors, and cops found the bodies of the family in three separate rooms.
More from the AP:
Benoit was scheduled to perform at the “Vengeance” pay-per-view event Sunday night in Houston, but was replaced at the last minute because of what announcer Jim Ross called “personal reasons.”
Benoit maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling.
The WWE canceled its live “Monday Night RAW” card in Corpus Christi, Texas, and USA Network aired a three-hour tribute to Benoit in place of the scheduled wrestling telecast.
Benoit’s wife managed several wrestlers and went by the stage name, “Woman,” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on its Web site.
They met when her then-husband drew up a script that had them involved in a relationship as part of an ongoing storyline on World Championship Wrestling, the newspaper said.
Benoit has two other children from a prior relationship.
It just keeps getting worst, doesn’t it?
