    Kevin Sullivan was Nancy's ex-husband. He's the guy who suggested the storyline that she manage Benoit and staged a relationship between her and he while Benoit and Nancy (Woman) were members of the Four Horsemen battling against Sullivan's Dungeon of Doom in WCW. Turns out in real life, Nancy left Kevin for Chris.

    Sullivan has been known as a crazy guy out of the ring.

    The murder-suicide just doesn't make sense.

    I'm watching these exchanges in shock. You people are treating this like it is a wrestling episode.

    You already know the killer?

    Dude and his family are dead. RIP. I don't get the sense that this is staged like one of those PPV deals.

    No, it's not staged. He and his wife and son Daniel are gone. RIP Benoit - one of the best wrestlers of all-time.

    The story has been picked up on SI.com, ESPN.com and is on the front of FoxNews.com.

    Mod, In my earlier post I didn't mean to make it read like a wrestling episode, just mentioning that in real life Sullivan had a big beef with Benoit and his wife Nancy. I'm not accusing Sullivan of anything. Just a question of where he is and what he's been up to lately.

    Moddy:

    I think people'd be speculating whether the guy was a wrestler or a comedian or anything else if he was a guy in the spotlight. Look at the Anna Nicole Smith thing -- people did all sorts of speculating there.

    Or in the Beck thread yesterday -- someone speculated about a heart attack.

    Doesn't make it right, but people do it.

    And this is a bizarre enough instance, with three people found dead in one spot, and not much info from the cops.

    People are going to speculate.

    We're just looking for answers.

    I'm still in shock. Hell, I took my SportsJournalists.com name from the guy.

    What murder-suicide would make sense?

    Yeah, I guess. I just get that "wrestling show" vibe from the discussion, which doesn't mean I'm not wrong in that. Just the vibe.
    I think professional wrestling is a joke and wonder about the mentality of those who spend money on it. No secret there, I've said it before.
    That said, shit, this is AWFUL. Young guy, family. I would just like to separate the wrestling feel from it so I could focus on that. Again, it may be more me than anything else. I just have such a disdain for professional wrestling.
