Yeah it is definitely a storyline with Vince it is either that this is their way of killing off the character of Mr.McMahon on WWE TV or else that he faked his death storyline wise to make everyone appreciate him more but how it all unfolds will be very interesting

sad news: sensational sheri passed away
my prayers go out to her family & friends

WWE is saddened to learn of the death of WWE Hall of Famer “Sensational” Sherri. She was 49.

She passed away at her mother’s home in Birmingham, Ala. Friday morning, according to her husband of 10 years, Robert Schrull.

“It’s a great loss to the wrestling world,” he told WWE.com. The couple resided in St. Petersburg, Fla.

In the early 1980s, Sherri began her career in the AWA. In 1985, she defeated Candi Devine to become the AWA Women’s Champion. Their rivalry lasted more than a year, with the championship trading hands on several occasions.

It was during this time that she began perfecting her skills as a manager, leading “Playboy” Buddy Rose and “Pretty Boy” Doug Somers to the AWA Tag Team Championship. On June 28, 1986, Martel would win the AWA Women’s Championship for a third and final time from Candi Devine.

On July 24, 1987, “Sensational” Sherri debuted in WWE, pinning her trainer and mentor the Fabulous Moolah to become Women’s Champion. Sherri defended the gold against Debbie Combs, Velvet McIntyre, and Desiree Peterson.

She quickly earned the reputation as someone who would do anything to win, even if it meant using unsavory tactics. Her rivalry with Moolah continued as they became the captains for the first-ever female Survivor Series teams in 1989. Sherri held the championship for 15 months before losing to Rockin’ Robin.

In the early ‘90s WWE phased out the Women’s Division, leaving Sherri to focus on managing the male wrestlers. Her first client was “Macho Man” Randy Savage. It was during this time that she became “Sensation Queen.”

The couple had rivals with Miss Elizabeth, Hulk Hogan, Dusty Rhodes and Sapphire. In 1991, “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase enlisted her services. After that relationship dissolved, she took on the managerial duties of Shawn Michaels.

In 1994, Sherri appeared in WCW as “Sensuous” Sherri managing Ric Flair during his rivalries with Sting and Hulk Hogan. After separating from Flair, she became “Sister” Sherri guiding Harlem Heat to seven WCW Tag Team Championships.

Sherri was enshrined in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006. “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase was her presenter.

TNA Wrestling

Did Anyone watch WWE Vengance?

what does everyone think about cena still being champ i thought it should be ortons time!!!

It has been revealed that Chris Benoit and his family were found yesterday and tonights raw will be dedicated to benoit. RIP Benoit.

The fact Benoit told WWE Sunday that his family we're spitting up bloody yesterday really sounds weird to me. Anyone else think this may be beyond the family being murdered? Maybe an issue which Benoit had?

Cant believe im saying this, as i always thought of Benoit as a totally straight laced guy, but this is weird shit. Totally devastating that this has happened, and i hope the reason for the deaths are revealed. A whole family found dead is just terrible.

RIP Benoit, a true great!!

RIP Benoit it was nice seeing you in action at wrestlemania 20 when i saw u do the cripper crossface against triple h to make him tap out and be the new world heavyweight champ May God Bless You

Chris Benoit wrestler for the wwe was found dead with his wife and kid.

shit. dont watch wrestling much anymore but dude was one of my favs when i watched

R.I.P Chris Benoit, his wife, and his kid

Link?

Another early death of a wrestler if true, RIP. I liked him too, I rememeber a long long time ago when he was in WWF, i loved his crossface finishing move .

was his wife and kid found dead too, or just him

Chris, his wife and his son were found dead
supposed to be a double murder suicide

http://www.wwe.com/


Law enforcement has ruled it a murder suicide from within the house. Apparently Benoit killed his Nancy Daus Sullivan on Saturday, and then Daniel on Sunday. Benoit then killed himself on Monday. That is the working theory of law enforcement right now. The instrument of death was still in the house and are not investigating someone outside the house.

Benoit was found dead in the weight room. Nancy was found dead in the living room, and Daniel was found dead in his bedroom.

Dave Meltzer from the wrestlingobserver.com is reporting this and has contacted someone from the department it seems.

Ohhh man this is quite sad. I used to watch WWE quite alot earlier and the Rabit Wolverine was one of my favourites. Eddie died and now his very close friend died. Such a shame that his wife and kids have as well.

RIP Chris.

I dont quite know the meaning of double murder suicide, anyone care to explain?

it means he killed his wife and kid......thats a double murder......and then he killed himself...dats a suicide

Oh okay pretty straight forward, I thought that term as used for something else.
Such a shame that he killed his wife and kids. Quite dissapointed.

oh man, i remember his finishing move, where he jumped off the turnbuckle and hit his head against the other person's head. Always seemed to me like it hurt him more than the other person?

RIP Benoit family...

It's pretty shocking if he really killed his wife and kid. If that's true, I would say burn in hell, than the r.i.p.

He's a murderer, no matter is he Chris Benoit or not. If you want to kill yourself - kill yourself, but don't touch other people, who don't have any guilt in that case.

i really hope the preliminary conclusions drawn by the investigators that Benoit killed his wife and son are rendered false.

Yeah how can you say rest in peace to someone like this.

In my Opinion Chris Benoit was the best Technical Wrestler ever to step in to the Squared Circle and will be missed by WWE and WWE Fans.

He Missed Sundays PPV Vengeance due to a Family Emergency where he was meant to beat CM Punk and win the ECW World Heavyweight Title.

R.I.P Christopher Michael Benoit (May 21, 1967 – June 25, 2007)

Why the hell you would say "rest in peace" to a child murderer ?!

Would you say it to every man on the planet who killed his wife and son, or you're saying it only when it's Chris Benoit, for example ?!

If this guy really killed his wife and son, I'll say rest in peace to them, because they have been killed. To him - yeah, I'll say burn in hell. And to everybody else, who is taking lives everywhere at the world.

Yeah I meant that. I wasn't defending him.

what the fuck is going on??? i cant believe this i just cant

RIP chris...we will miss you no end

I was so shocked when I found this out just before WWE Raw. Now I'm even more shocked from understanding news that theres a possibility Benoit could of killed his Wife n Son and then taking his own life.

R.I.P Chris

I have to say, i was pleased Vince pulled the plug on his own characters death story in the wake of this. It was a very good edition of RAW last night too, unfortunately for the wrong reasons, but it was great to look back on Benoit's career and some of the great matches he was in.

According to reports he killed his family and than committed suicide. I dont know why he did that
I really liked him back when I was WWE freak. RIP.

Sad to hear this, RIP to Chris Benoit..
I also cant believe that he killed his wife and kids and then suicide...

A great wrestler but very sad his career had to end in this way , my condolensces goes out to friends and family of benoit , his wife and his 7 year old son

At first I didn't believe it because of the 'Vince is dead' storyline. But when Raw aired, The truth was clear and he is gone. Just so shocked that he murdered his wife and son. The 2 people he loved so much. If any of you watched WWE Raw last night. You would know he loved his family. Thats why its even more shocking to me. Apparently his Wife decided to be with him anyone for reasons unknown :S, I'm sure this will all be cleared up in the following days.

RIP benoit i love your cripper crossface

ps anyone is welcome to use my sig

R.I.P

This is bizarre! I DID NOT see this coming. I don't know what the truth is or why he decided to do it, but I'm gutted that the life of a great wrestler and entertainer had to end like that. And of course, nobody deserves to be murdered, so what he did was wrong, whatever the reasons were.

He was a future Hall Of Famer, no doubt. But at least we know one inductee this year.

Always seemed way too nice and normal to have done something like this. Odd thing is, back in his WCW days i used to visit his personal website where he would personally answer fans questions and i remember when his kid was born it had a picture of his wife in the hospital bed holding their new born child with benoit next to the bed, never would of thought 7 years later he would of killed them.

Damn, I hope it isn't true about the murder part. He must have been on drugs or something. Like i said before, i quite liked him when he first made his debut, i loved watching him doing the crossface move on that jericho dude.

If this is true, I don't feel a bit sorry for him. What a sick person to take not just his wife but a child as well. That is just sick. I don't care how good of a wrestler he was, he is someone who should burn in hell and honestly I hope he does.

funny how some people say rest in peace to him, but said fuck off to the virginia tech mad man.

clearly an act of a mentally unstable person, even if he did kill his wife and kid some respect must be shown to what he brought to the lives of fans across the world. sad sad way to end such a great life.

R.I.P. Chris Benoit...

holy shit! Wow I did not expect this.... When I used to watch wrestling a few years back... wow, dont have words for this. Crippler Crossface man, I used that one at home against my brothers when we wrestled

About the stroy that he killed his family? Im shocked to hear it, but it all seems a bit unreal to me he was one of the normal guys in wrestling.

R.I.P

'tis what steroids do to you. Agression levels go through the roof, and patience levels just plummet.

But why the good wishes for a guy who killed his wife and son?

RIP Hitler???

Yea, you've got a very good point there.

No offense but equating Benoit to Hitler is fucking off the charts stupidity. I don't want to start a debate just my opinion.

For whatever reason this happened, Chris was in a state we just can't comprehend. I don't pretend to. How the fuck can anyone condemn him to hell when they don't know the stage of mind and actual events. Benoit placed a Bible next to the body of his child and wife and I just have to hope that they're together now, without whatever darkness was within their lives.

If this rage or whatever is linked to steroids it will throw the whole debate about the drug wide open. This roid-rage is debatable though.

I know my opinion won't match that of others but there you go.

Rest in peace, Nancy, Daniel, and Chris.

This is so bad, I was reading an interview with him a few weeks back, sick fucker.

Im sorry but this man does not deserve to R.I.P. If what I heard is correct he murdered his wife and kid then shot himself. If he did that he has no right to R.I.P.

WWE® Shocked At Latest Developments In Benoit Tragedy, Concerned By Sensationalistic Reporting
Written: June 26, 2007STAMFORD, Conn., June 26, 2007 – World Wrestling Entertainment is stunned and saddened by the details released by local authorities concerning the double homicide-suicide involving Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and his son, Daniel.

However, WWE is concerned with the sensationalistic reporting and speculation being undertaken by some members of the media following the press conference held by the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department and the District Attorney. During the press conference, the investigating authorities made the following points, all of which run contrary to the media speculation that "roid rage" was a factor in the senseless murders and suicide:

1. The authorities stated that all drugs found in the house were believed to be legal prescriptions.

2. Steroids were not, and could not, be related to the cause of death (asphyxiation). Authorities had no factual basis to speculate as to Benoit’s state of mind, and rightly did not do so.

3. Toxicology tests have not even been completed, so there is no current evidence that Benoit even had steroids or any other substance in his body. In that regard, on the last test done on Benoit by WWE's independently administered drug testing program, done on April 10, 2007, Benoit tested negative.

4. The physical findings announced by authorities indicate deliberation, not rage. The wife's feet and hands were bound and she was asphyxiated, not beaten to death. By the account of the authorities, there were substantial periods of time between the death of the wife and the death of the son, again suggesting deliberate thought, not rage. The presence of a Bible by each is also not an act of rage.

5. WWE strongly suggests that it is entirely wrong for speculators to suggest that steroids had anything to do with these senseless acts, especially when the authorities plainly stated there is no evidence that Benoit had steroids in his body, pending the toxicological reports, and that they had no evidence at this time as to the motive for these acts.

WWE is continuing to monitor the ongoing investigation being conducted by local authorities


What would drive a man to do such things??

Sorry to double post but here is a timeline

WWE/Benoit timeline
Written: June 26, 2007On 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 3:53 a.m.) - 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 3:53 a.m.) - 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 3:54 a.m.) - 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 3:55 a.m.) - 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 3:58 a.m.) - 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 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 Sheriff's office made contact with WWE at approximately 4 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 and 5 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.

Thats true and its a sad way to treat your body.I think the WWE should claim responsibility for encouraging steroids.


Thats harsh, you cant judge his life on his last action, sure it was sick, but he must have had a reason and if you knew him or watched him youd think otherwise


How would you feel if someone said that about you....thats very silly thing to say considering he hasnt affected your life directly so stop trying to show off.

RIP to Nancy and Danıel. How could anyone do that? Danıel looked up to hıs dad. Danıel porbably wanted to be exactly lıke hıs dad but Chrıs dıdnt even gıve hım the chance. Sıck

Wow, this was the least thing I would of expected. That's just so wrong. That's why you never take Steroids.
