This is shocking news, and I assume like many others when I read the title before looking into the post I thought it was another hoax, and like many more wished it was.
Its a sad time for WWE and all its fans, and Benoit was/is still one of my favourite wrestlers, its a tragic end to a very good career and life.
It it is true about what has been reported then it does sadden me that his life ended in this way, but from a wrestling point of view I have the upmost respect for the man.
He may have murdered his family, and then took his own life, whether this was done out of malice or the reports are that his family were really ill, and it was a mercy killing then I dont know, but the authorities will provide all the details in due course.
In relation to WWE doing a tribute show so soon after was actually a very good move by them. In doing this they were able to celebrate the life and success of a fantastic wrestler/entertainer before anything could come out and tarnish his name. Yes, it may turn out that he is a murderer but there is no taking away from the fact he was still exceptional at what he did for a living.
RIP Chris and Family.
