Seems...He shot his wife, Kid, then himself, looks to have had a few wires crossed.

That is unfortunate. I read they are checking into the roids too as a possible cause.

All that money, all that fame, makes you wonder why he did it.

I met him when he was first getting started in the business...then again when my cousin-in-law was the camera man at stampede wrestling.

Many of these guys that are involved in wrestling are ODD in their own way.

Chris was a hard guy to read ...as with him ...when talking with him you would never know what it is real and what is EGO.

I feel bad for taking others with him.

Another Sad Story

Good point Dennis. I mean all in all if he didnt want to live, at least leave his wife, and a 7 year old kid to live. Kind of pathetic once ya start thinking about it.

You know what i was thinking? Isnt roid rage more of a spur of the moment/quickly enraged kind of a thing. If so then that could mean that the murder wasnt premeditated; which is probably what everyone is thinking right now due to him cancelling that one show.

Either way i think they said itd be about a week before the results came back on the steriod thing.
