...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.
Why on earth would they show a three-hour "tribute" to someone who possibly killed his own wife and young son? Shouldn't they wait to find out what happened first? Why are they honoring a possible killer?

WWE planning to put 3 hours special edition show to "in honor of Vince McMahon's death" but resulted Chris Benoit and his family were found dead in his house yesterday afternoon and WWE decided to cancelled the show, so they can put Chris Benoit and his family's tribute show last night on WWE RAW... No one knows resulted till like 12 am, find out detective starting suspect Benoit killed his family, so we still dont know whats result/autopsy till today or so

Yeah but if the autospy finds out that Chris did kill his wife and son, I lost my respect for him
 
I was surfing last night in Prowrestling.com and was gonna check on news and saw the pic of Chris Benoit and the other statement 1967-2007 and I was flaggerested by this... but now as I read other news and etc... I just am shocked this has happened... Chris was a pure wrestler and hard working.. I wonder what the hell happened to him and his wife and their kid.. I do know that Chris has 2 other kids in Edmonton with his ex wife (Chris's first marriage I believe before Chris married Nancy)
 
R.I.P. Benoit family.

Seriously, it seems like wrestler is dropping like flies and it is very tragic!

The autospy results will come around at 1:00 pm and I will post the results today, the toxical results will come in 2 weeks
 
Darn, time is up for giving more information of their death caused...you can copy the name and paste into seach of Wikipedia
 
Police confirmed this morning to ABC that this is in fact a double homicde/suicide investigation.

Also revealed were the following gruesome facts:

All 3 were found in seperate rooms. Time of death places benoit murdering Nancy first Saturday night. He then murdered his son sometime Sunday morning. Then almost 24 hours later, he commits suicide. Benoit's body was found in his personal weight room.

It is speculated that Benoit killed Nancy in the heat of an argument, possibly about her leaving him with their son. Then, as his son wakes the next morning, Chris decides to kill him as well.

What happened in the hours in between the deaths and his suicide is not known, but it is known that Benoit never left the house during this time. He stayed in there with their corpses for almost 24 hours before finally making the decision to kill himself rather than face prosecution.

Sources inside WWE told ABC that Saturday night, Benoit sounded calm on the phone, and really only described his situation as a "family emergency". Benoit, who was supposed to win the ECW belt that Sunday at the PPV, turned the belt down and said something along the lines of "I don't want it, give it to someone else". And WWE did just that. Johnny Nitro, who took benoit's place in the ring, got the belt Benoit was supposed to get.

Several major news media outlets outright refused to even look at this story at first, believing it was indeed another hoax like McMahon's death. However, with TMZ.com, ABC, and CNN covering it now, this story has broke wide open. There are plans this week for coverage of this case on CNN's nancy Grace.

Autopsy results are due later today.

Wow...just wow....
 
Dang such a shame this has to happen to someone like Chris Benoit...

Many people on the TV news are saying how out of character that seems.
