Lucifer is going to have an entertaining feud to watch with him and Benoit.
No kidding. I'm convinced he and woman were involved. No way he drank all that liquor. Wierd stuff.
I am more of a Stone Cold and Sandman fan, but yes it is going to be fun watching Benoit and Sullivan fight over the girl they both enjoyed.
Saw this and Thought Florida lost their baseball coach.
There are people that think he killed the Benoit family and framed Chris for it. No evidence to support that but yeah, there are people on the internet who will tell you that.
The Dark Side of the Ring on Benoit is heavy, especially the parts where they interview his other son. Nancy Benoit’s sister also did a long podcast with Chris Jericho on the situation several years ago.
That was a truly messed up family dynamic and that all started with Nancy leaving Sullivan for Benoit.

How is Sandman still alive? That’s probably the biggest miracle in wrestling. Well, him and Ric Flair.
Just to be clear I wasn’t saying he was going to hell for killing the Benoits. I was saying it because his gimmick was he was a satan worshipper. Even Lucifer respects Kayfabe.
The ones that think the theory is plausible are the Benoit fanboys. It's very difficult for them to accept he did it and he can no longer be mentioned in rasslin circles.
Yeah, he looked to be in pretty rough shape when I was watching the Who Killed WCW docu-series, and I remember thinking that he probably wasn’t long for this world.
Wrestling is about as tough a life as it gets, and I guess he did well to get to 74

Yeah people can’t accept that the pro wrestler that they liked did horrible horrible things.
And I’ll admit, before all this went down, I definitely liked Benoit. He’s an all time great in-ring technical wrestler. Wasn’t a great talker but could have a good match with anybody. Many of the best matches from 2000’s WWF/E were Benoit matches.
But it ceased to matter when he killed his family. Some just can’t accept it though.
Have you seen the special on the sandman?
Priceless. Yes it is a miracle he is still alive. He is one guy that I really am looking forward to having in hell with me.
read up on the crime scene. there was a pile of beer and wine on the scene. but CB's blood alcohol level wasn't very high. either he poored out a bunch of liquor or someone else helped him drink it.
I'm not saying CTE wasn't 100% at fault and he went bonkers. Just saying there is more to the story than most people know.
Chris Benoit was also one of the earliest confirmed cases of CTE. I think that plus steroids plus the general lifestyle was the ultimate poison cocktail for him and his loved ones.
I’ll still never forget the Monday Night RAW that they cancelled to do a tribute to Benoit, right after he was found dead and before the entire story was out. Montages and various wrestlers coming out to pay their respects and what not. About halfway through the show, more details started to trickle out privately in the lockerroom about the rest of the family. A visibly shaken Triple H had to come out sometime near the end, and he gritted his teeth through a short and very forced monotone tribute, before getting the hell out of there as quickly as he could. Not the WWE’s finest hour…..
Yes I remember watching the same episode. It was very emotional and then they showed an interview with William Regal and he was far more reserved and it seemed odd. Then a little bit later it was all over the news that the police believe Benoit did it then killed himself.
The worst part is that all 3 bodies were found in the same residence at the same time, with Chris having hung himself on his weight bench. It was 99.9% certain to be a double murder / suicide from the get go. McMahon 100% knew this, and went forward with the tribute show anyway. Colossal prick, and shameless publicity / ratings stunt in the face of an unspeakable tragedy.
i kinda knew a little bit about the case, i had just never heard about the alcohol part...
