Chris Benoit found dead... RIP

[Big Dakota]

The whole disgusting, fake act should be shut down.

Uh, this story is getting wierder and wierder.

Has anyone else heard the rumor that "Scary" Sherry Martel died the same day? She's supposedly the girlfriend of Kevin Sullivan, who was the husband of Nancy Benoit that Chris stole her away from.

I saw a blurb about this on the TV while at lunch, a replay of Geraldo Rivera on Bill O'reilly's show last night.

I'm not joking about this, if you were to ask me which wrestler I thought could be a multiple murderer between Sullivan and Benoit, my answer would be Sullivan without hesitation. He always played a Satanist character who talked about tying his opponents to the "tree of woe" and making them observe their worst nightmares.

Now, I'm not saying he killed all of them and made Benoit watch as he did it (tied to the tree of woe) before killing him too, but it makes me wonder. Benoit probably did it, and Martel's death at the same time is a coincidence, but it's an awfully strange coincidence given the cross stories of adultery and hatred between Sullivan and Benoit.

I hadn't heard that. Man..... sad thing is that before it's all said and done this whole ordeal might just get weirder.

I found this on Wikipedia about her death.

On June 15, 2007, WWE.com announced that "Sensational" Sherri Martel had died that morning at her mother's residence in Birmingham, Alabama.[8]She was 49 years old. Dave Meltzer stated on his Wrestling Observer Live radio show that Martel's passing was not a result of natural causes, and that the case is still under investigation by law enforcement. On June 19, 2007, police confirmed that Martel did not die of natural causes, but no foul play is suspected. A cause of death for Martel will not be determined until her autopsy and toxicology reports have been completed.

I couldn't find anything on her relationship with Kevin Sullivan, but Geraldo mentioned his name. Not that this has any credence. It is still probably Benoit who did this, but the story gets stranger by the day.

This is on Wikipedia about Kevin Sullivan.

In 1985, Sullivan married Nancy Daus (née Toffoloni), his valet. In the mid-1990s, Sullivan, the then World Championship Wrestling booker, scripted a storyline in which Daus would leave him in favor of his on-screen rival, Chris Benoit. During the execution of the storyline, Daus legitimately left Sullivan in favour of Benoit, divorcing Sullivan in 1997 and marrying Benoit in 2000. [2] In June 2007, FOX News reported on Sullivan's links to Chris, Nancy and Daniel Benoit, recently found dead of an apparent double murder-suicide, as well as Sherri Martel who died earlier that month. [3]

According to an internet chain letter that has surfaced, Sullivan is a member of the Satanic church, and committed the Benoit murders to gain revenge for Benoit stealing his wife. However, this, as is the case with most internet chain letters, has no real proof or relevance to it.

It's getting weirder for me every time you post, more news. Such a tragic set of events.

I was just thinking about this last night, and how far fetched it may or may not be that Sullivan had something to do with or orchestrated the murders. To be honest, the whole thing as explained by the authorities and media just doesn't add up. I hadn't read about the Martel thing though.

I knew Benoit basically stole Sullivan's wife and that he had a satanic wrestling schtick, but I wasn't sure if he was an actual satanist. You have to wonder how carefully they inspected the crime scene and if they missed something.

Oh Gawd, the conspiracy theories are just flowing in this thread, LOL...

The only way Sullivan could have gotten Benoit up to hang him is if he'd knocked him out first... in that case, there would have been signs of a struggle, probably blood... well, the police reported there was blood around Benoit's wife's head, but there were no reports of any blood, or any sign of a struggle, around Chris... if they'd report such evidence involving the wife, you'd assume they'd report similar evidence involving him...

It's called common sense, folks... some of you ought to investigate that concept...

Actually, I have to wonder about the ghouls trying to manufacture some kind of scenario in which Kevin Sullivan killed all three of them, in the face of absolutely NO evidence to suggest any such thing...

OTOH, the police ought to interviewing that guy who posted that Benoit missed the PPV because of the death of his wife, a day before any bodies were found... I've read that guy has come forward, said it was all a weird coincidence, but that's an awfully big "coincidence"...

I would just like to point out that you can incapacitate someone without a struggle if you know what you are doing, and that I didn't manufacture this Kevin Sullivan angle. and have said twice that it is probably hooey, that Benoit did this.

I just find it interesting given the history.

Oh, I wasn't gettin' on you, man, but on those "reports"...

Cue up the twilight zone music. What a mess.

In all the bizarreness, lets not forget that a seven year old child was killed for no reason.

Whoever did it (almost certainly Benoit) will have to face God for what he has done.
