A couple of months prior, Mike Awesome hanged himself in his divorced wife's home. If Nancy went through the divorce and left Chris, things might be different for better or for worse
Imagine if Benoit had wrestled after he murdered his family….
My guy Chris Benoit will never forget you and what you did nobody is a better wrestler only you were the best wrestler in the world
You're all suckers. You believe anything the media tells you.He was taken OUT!! Benoit knew something, owed something, said something, or reused to do something. Someone wanted to destroy him, and they did a great job.
The CTE wasn’t caused by wrestling it was cause by bareknuckle boxing in Japan.
Tom did the same hence why no person messed around with him. The reason it’s hushed is because the Japanese promoters run them and still do, just not with wrestlers anymore.
Americas dad, Chris Benoit, doing the Lords work 😂😂😂😂
He’s not a monster, he’s just a man that was broken by the death of his best friend
Man such a sad story. Its heartbreaking seeing how much little Daniel looked like his Dad.
Im not going to judge Chris. Considering his CTE & his numerous head Concussions, on top of the yrs off steroid abuse theres no telling how bad Chris's brain really was mentally & physically!
I myself think its a low class move by the WWE to wipe his great career & history away!
He did a lot for the WWE & wrestling itself.
R.I.P Chris, Nancy & Little Daniel. 🙏🏻
By far the best video ive seen about this terrible tragedy! 👊🏻💯
Chris Benoit couldve played the perfect Wolverine. He actually how the comics drew and discribed him even had the Nickname..
As a parent, the thought of being murdered is nowhere near as bad as the thought of not being there to protect my son.
Honestly the kid should have been a bit better behaved
At the time after Eddies Gurrerros death I kept saying there is something off with Chris Benoit he just looked so..vacant and even now in hindsight you can literally see hom spiralling
This guy was murdered, looks like a set up
The thing I just cannot understand is he murdered his family over a 2 day period and made all these excuses about food poisoning
If he was out of his mind then why lie like that?
I’m so tired of people blaming roids and CTE this guy murdered his wife on Friday and his son on Saturday before hanging himself on Sunday…he knew exactly what he was doing this wasn’t a 3 hour period where he didn’t know what he was doing and he was doing it cause his wife was about to give his ass divorce papers and take that damn kid away from him and he said no you’re not and did what he did…I’ve been around a situation like this before where my old buddy locked his wife in the closet and was threatening to blow up the house over the same situation…he was a crazy mf that just so happened to wrestle on TV for 30 years anyone defending this guy needs to have their morals reassessed…imagine if he never wrestled and this was just an average Joe nobody would be defending him in this situation…
Too many concussions, too much brain damage . If I remember correctly, autopsy said he had the brain of an 80 year old. Very sad ….
I think the grief of Eddie and you top that off with a guy with CTE and steroid use Benoit became a ticking time bomb
I'm curious how he hung himself from a lat pulldown machine. It seems similar to someone shooting themselves in the back.
She should have stayed divorced in the early 2000s after Eddie passing, Chris went insane he took steroids too much like he wanted to be Superman and was depressed and took all out on his family that’s one of the saddest things 😢
I don't think he did he would not hurt his son r wife it's a setup n cover he was framed why wasn't the beer cans tested r finger prints taken they were all murdered n made it look like he did it
Gotta love how the death of Eddie Guerrero is given more focus and emotion than Nancy fleeing the home when Chris broke the furniture and threatened to beat the shit out of her two years prior.
