Its a terrible loss to the business

I thought this was about me at first!  :shock:  :o

:shock:

Hes an actor isnt he?

Wowsers, a murder-suicide investigation!!!

Beefcake - as Cartman would say

Benoit was ace.

Obviously a bit fucked in the head though, but that was always evident anyway.

oh a proper death,and murder to boot it seems.not like the fixed made up deaths that are usually on that wrestling bollocks

Is this not faked to drum up support for wrestling then?

Personally I don't even believe wrestlers exist, well unless you go to a cinema, but then they're Wrustlers aren't they? Although they're hot dogs not ultimate fighting machine actor people.

so hes not going to turn up at wrestlemania next time and fight for the title?  :shock: im disappointed

he's defo dead, this is not a storyline

Well this should keep "The Undertaker" busy for a while!!!

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

not forgetting paul bearer

ouch! i haven't watched Wrestling for years but i remember Benoit when he first came onto the scene!  :shock:

Who? :wtf:

apparently he was racist aswell.


(cue 13 page thread)

I remember watching him on TV late saturday night on WCW, Back in 1992.

I don't think he's ever forgotten Eddies death last year.

That was the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiose, he had a black slave called Virgil didn't he?

Benoit just hated fags and jews.  Which is much worse I think.

Apparently he had the wife in a "Cross face Chicken Wing" hold and she refused to tap out.  Lack of oxygen meant she eventually died! :shock:

umm thats a bob bucklands move actualy, get it right, benoit had the crippler crossface.

yeah heard about this last night.

Strange to think someone who've watched for long, and who no one has ever had a bad word to say about could kill his wife, young child then himself.

Bring back Hacksaw Jim Duggan... HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

i used to watch wwf when i was younger but i dont remember him, did he play a character of any kind?

Benoit was a legend. Him and Eddie dying in two years. Apparently he killed his wife and then his kid then hung himself.

Shit. Does this mean they'll cancel the whole "Vince is dead" storyline?

Well he opened the Raw tribute last night. So i would think that would cast any doubt anyone had that he is alive.

ah.

Saying that knowing the WWE they'll probably carry it on. :-))(

y are people saying how ace and great Benoit was? he murdered his family for fuck sake, any person who does that wud be fucking hated and despised, yet cos he just off ropes people think he is great??

it is reported that he might have murdered his family.

wait, no, scratch that. i didn't realise police had confirmed it.

meh

on Fox news they said they are pretty certain he did it, after leaving bibles next to both bodies, if they wasnt certain he did it they wudnt release as much information as they have

yeah i just read that, it was only reports and shit earlier and after the bob woolmer thing i was a little skeptical.

fucking weird though. coward.

apparently was down to 'Roid Rage' found lots of steroids in the house and when mixed with alcohol causes 'Roid Rage' when u hear voices in ur head and make u flip out, sad tho little lad only 7 yrs old.

That's exactly what I'm thinking, I shed a tear for him, as a talent at least, but it feels wrong wishing sentiments such as 'rest in peace' when he only killed himself as a result of killing Nancy and their son.

Cowardish  cunt comes to mind. Take your own life not an innocent 7 year old He may have been a decent wrestler or whatever but I hope he rots in hell

fuck off

to be fair gazza does have a point

I agree. When you forget about his wrestler status he's just a cunt and if there is a hell lets hope he resides there.

Sorry chubbs.

lets hope it brings some attention to the effects of steroids  - if that was the cause of his rage / this situation.

I can safely say I couldnt give a fuck.

me either but i imagine his wife and kid would, and based on kaufmans post it seems to be a recurring cause of death.

I must be honest I only read the title and the first post.

they scare the shit out of me. alright, i take vitamins and i'm on meds but the thought of pumping my body full of all sorts of shit is just weird.

i wouldn't even contemplate it, my body is a temple.

a haggard, pickled, slightly rounded temple, but a temple none the less.

Sounds like he was only on prescribed steriods, he had only been tested back in April for anything else. Of course, i'm not condoning steriod use and i think it was most probably a factor in what happened.

A rather sick irony that he hung himself from the cord of a weight machine

People are saying how ace and great Benoit was, because well he was ace and great....

Whilst what he has done, is very disturbing and down right sick.

That doesnt mean he wasnt a talented performaner who people loved to watch.

OJ simpson was funny in Naked Gun but he was still guilty - it tarnishes the memory somewhat.

I agree, totally....

.......doesnt mean he was any less of a wrestler though.

absolutely, but it does mean - if the news reports are true - that he was twisted (by whatever cause) and murdered innocent people, which i think will overshadow any previous wrestling achievements when people come to remember him.

I'm not saying it wont.....and in all honestly it should.....

i think we're agreeing with each other but just making different points. yes he was a good wrestler (as far as i know) but that memory will be tarnished by recent affairs. doesn't mean he wasn't a good wrestler but does mean he will be remembered as the guy who went pyscho and murdered his family.

Correct, someone said why are people saying he was great, well on a purely professional level he was great and awesome at what he did.

i'll take your word for it, i've never watched WWF or whatever it's called now.

boo fucking hoo.........

oh do go away  :roll:

erm, no he wasn't.  OJ was found innocent.  Whether he did it or not to label him guilty is wrong.

He was good in Naked Gun, that scene when he kept hurting himself on the "I love you" boat was comedy genius.

he was found guilty in the civil courts wasn't he?

okay, give me kiss first though sweetheart........

a glasgow one?

fuck off you cunt

don't you love me anymore?

your a prick mate

Look who's talking!

If you don't like my posts you don't have to reply to them you fucking cocksucker!!!!

Fucking hell this thread has gone, in true TEF style, from a wrestler killing his mrs and child to two blokes slagging each other off about fuck all!!

thats the magic and mystery of the townend forum jan

very true arriba, very true!!

Exactly..... thats like itv giving fred west a 3 hour tribute so all the builders around the country can admire the fucking wall he built or something
