Holy shit!

That is all I can say. Holy shit.

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

I know.

Just wow.

[shoemaster.livejournal.com]

Oh my god. That's insane.

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

He was never my favourite wrestler, but I always recognized how amazing he was. He grew on me a lot the last few years. This is so sad.

[evilprettykitty.livejournal.com]

I only sorta know know who he is but OMG.

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

Yeah. And not only that, it was his whole family.

[slave1.livejournal.com]

Is it for real? I thought there was a similar hoax about him awhile ago?

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

It's for real. The most recent hoax was Vince staging his death. But at this point it's been confirmed on legit new sources and they've cancelled the show for tonight and sent everyone home. They NEVER cancel RAW.

Wow... how sad... :(

Holy shit.

Stu adores Benoit. I left him a vm, telling him to Google things and to call me, but....

Eek. Yeah. This? So not good.

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

Not at all. :(

Benoit was fantastic.

I read that he cancelled his appearance because all of his family was coughing up blood *and* that the deaths are now being investigated as homocides.

Pro Wrestling's become riddled with tragedies in these last years. Weird.

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

It really has. It's a shame. :(

I didn't hear that they were being investigated as homicides. I heard the blood thing, but the last report I read (which was awhile ago) was that they were just being investigated. The blood thing could be carbon monoxide poisoning - especially since it was all of them.

The blood thing could be carbon monoxide poisoning - especially since it was all of them.

Yeah, but one of the articles said that though none of them were shot, the police were investigating the deaths as homocides. Can't remember the link but you can get it from one of the recent google news articles. Just very bizarre.

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

Yeah. :(

It's a big loss.

[mickeymvt.livejournal.com]

Holy crap.

Wow.

I really liked him. Utterly shocking.

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

He was an amazing wrestler.

This is a real loss to wrestling. :(

[raaven.livejournal.com]

WTF? Wow.

[visionshadows.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Apparently it was a double murder suicide. :/
