We're  following the Chris Benoit story the same way many fans are. This shocking and still-unfolding situation is obviously going to alter our normal weekly schedule. In the meantime, the details are coming much quicker and there are a number of links you can look to in order to get all the information you might need.

As I have said before, WorldWrestlingInsanity.com does not report news. This will be no exception. However, we will be speaking to and interviewing people within the business about this situation over time and sharing thoughts on it both here and on ClubWWI.com. But we won't be reporting on things we've heard personally or private situations that have not yet been reported.  That is not the purpose of our site and many of my conversations with people in the industry are understood to be off-the-record.  Given the delicate nature of this situation, I feel it's best at this early stage to simply point you all in the right direction when it comes to the latest developments.

I will be updating the links on this page throughout the day as more details become available. In the meantime, you can also check out our friends over at www.PWInsider.com   who are doing a thorough job of following this tragedy.

Also, I have posted an audio with my thoughts on ClubWWI.com on the situation, the press conference, fan reaction, and how this tragedy has been handled.
