Welcome to the Realm™ - Version 5.0...

The business of professional wrestling lost one of its absolute best today.&#160 Chris Benoit, along with his wife Nancy and their son Daniel, were found today at their home in Fayetteville, GA.&#160 Chris Benoit was 40.

Cause of death is unknown at this time.

The Realm&#153 extends its deepest condolences.&#160 Chris was one of this scribe’s favorite entertainers in the genre, and he will be very much missed.

UPDATE:&#160 AP is reporting that this is being handled as a double murder/suicide.

Holy shit.

UPDATE the 2nd:&#160 It’s been reported now that Benoit strangled his wife Nancy last Saturday, then smothered his 7-year-old, suffering-from-Fragile-X-Syndrome son Daniel on Sunday, before hanging himself in his weight room on Monday.

I have no idea what could make Benoit snap like that, although there are reports that he & Nancy were arguing about caring for Daniel prior to the killings, and Nancy had previously filed for divorce from Chris back in 2003 before reconciling.

I do not&#160 believe, however, that steroids were a part of this.&#160 Although they were found in the Benoit household during the subsequent investigation, Benoit did not have a ‘roid freak’s physique, per se.&#160 Plus, the WWE claims that he tested negative for ‘roids back in April.

Right now, all we can do is wait and watch.&#160 This story isn’t going away that soon.

ITEM:&#160 All season long, the Texass stRangers have been insisting that there’s nothing wrong with Vicente Padilla’s arm, despite the fact that he’s 3-8 with a 6.69 ERA in 15 starts this season.

ITEM:&#160 Padilla went on the 15-day Dl with what they’re calling “triceps inflammation behind the right elbow”.

Oh.&#160

As the credibility slide for this franchise continues…
