Jesus Christ, his son's only 6 or 7. This is beyond fucked up.

...one of my favorite moments of the "monday night wars" is chris benoit wanted to leave wcw and pretty much everyone knew it. on a sunday night benoit won the wcw world title from...someone. i cant remember who it was. but the next night on nitro jj dillon "stripped" benoit of the title. that same night benoit, saturn, malenko, and eddy appeared ringside on raw and started fucking around with the new age outlaws, eventually coming into the ring and later on being "granted" a match.

PW Headlines stated that Benoit called in to WWE Sunday and said he would be unable to make it back as his family was ill and they were spitting up blood.

I posted this on another forum, but I'll put it here. I know it's hard to understand, but please, no criticism or anything like that. This isn't like an "actor" dying. Robert De Niro plays characters on screen, Chris Benoit was Chris Benoit, despite being a wrestler, everything he did was as himself. Forgive me for not making much sense here, I'm jsut at a total loss right now.:

I don't think many people can understand what this feels like. It really is like losing a member of your family, someone who was on your TV once or twice a week at the same time every week for the last 10+ years, it's like you knew him.
As some of you know, I've wanted to be a pro wrestler since I was a little kid and I'm going away to train with Storm in the near future. Benoit was one of my biggest influences and I always dreamed of getting to wrestle him some day. Obviously, that will never happen.
I'm still in total shock and I'm dreading watching RAW tonight. But I know that I have to.

This story is really bizarre.
food poisoning is the first thing that came to my mind

im still pretty much in shock also, i dont even watch wrestling much anymore, but like you said, this is kinda someone you got to know more then you might an actor or actress, i dont even know how to describe why but you just do, and to hear that he is dead is pretty bad, but his wife and young son as well is just really hard to believe. definatly a sad sad night
