With most wrestling fans all around the world, every single one of them has there own opinion on the man. Some say he is a scumbag because of what he did to his family, or most people think it is a conspiracy to what happened to Chris Benoit and his wife and son. I am dead in the middle of both. I feel that he was bad for the things that he did in the last few moments of his life because he did do them, no matter how much you try and convince yourself he did do them. I also, thought try to remember him as the wrestler i once loved back ever since i could remembe, even when i first watched wrestling in 2001 when i was five years old, i was a fan of “The Crippler” Chris Benoit. My knowledge of Chris Benoit goes back to ECW when he tore down the house with wrestlers such as the late great Eddie Guerrero and at the time Rey Mysterio JR. However, he wouldn’t come into the mainstream until he made the jump to WCW in the year 1995, after his brief stint in Japan. He had several great matches with stars such as Raven, Booker T and Diamond Dallas Page. However, it wasn’t until his match with Bret “The Hitman” Hart on the episode of Nitro where Owen Hart had sadly passed away the night before. Benoit went toe to toe with the best in the buisiness at the time Bret Hart and from that moment there wouldn’t be a guy in the planet who would deny that Chris Benoit isn’t one of the very best the buisiness had to offer at the time. Chris Benoit came over to the World Wrestling Federation back in the year 2000 and quickly captured the prestigios Intercontinental Championship at Wrestlemania 16 in a Triple Threat match against Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho. He would slowly but surely move up the card and by the summer of 2000 he was in high profiled matches on close to every major Pay Per View. For example, Summerslam 2000 he had a awsome two out of three falls match against Chris Jericho, Unforgiven 2000 he was involved in the main event in a Fatal Four Way Match for the WWF Championship which included The Undertaker, The Rock and Kane and for two minutes he had the Championship and at No Mercy 2000 he faced Triple H in one of the most underated wrestling matches of all time. For the next few years Chris Benoit was involved in several good rivalries but none as good as the three Pay Per View matches between him and Kurt Angle. His next great fued would be when the draft expansion happened and he was on the Smackdown brand and he was involved in a tournament to crown the first ever WWE Tag Team Champions and him and Kurt Angle got to the final to face Edge and Rey mysterio. The match is again one of the most underated matcheas of all time with all four men at the No Mercy 2002 Pay Per View, busting there ass and Benoit and Angle were victorios and became the first ever WWE Tag Team Champion. By the beggining of 2003, Benoit was as popular as ever and it culmulated in a five star classic and still to this day my favorate match of all time, when Benoit faced former Tag Team Champion and current WWE Champion Kurt Angle. The match was so good the loser, sadly Chris Benoit got a standing ovation. Moving swiftly onto 2004, which is the year where Chris Benoit finally did the big one. He won the 2004 Royal Rumble match after entering number one and at the time this was only ever done once which was by Shawn Michaels back in 1995. Benoit would draft himself to Raw so that he good chase the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania XX. The match at Wrestlemania XX between Chris Benoit, Shawn Michaels and the Champion Triple H was a great match and was a emotional roller coaster from the outset with both Triple H and HBK being a bloody mess and Benoit took a double suplex through the anounce table. But the by the end of the night Chris Benoit was the World Heavyweight Champion and the show ended in the most perfect way and that was him and his good freind Eddie Guerrero celebrating in the ring, both as the major champions in the company, Chris Benoit had a really good title reign with matches against Shawn Michaels and Triple H, he would lose the championship to Randy Orton at the 2004 edition of Summerslam, doing what Benoit does best and that is make Orton a big star and still to this day Randy Orton is one of the top stars of the company and main evented Wrestlemania this past year. Benoit got drafted back to Smackdown in the 2005 draft and buy 2006 he was back in the title picture but this time he was having rivalries was over the United States Championship, which had a big story at Wrestlemania 22 against former WWE Champion JBL. Benoit though sadly got his first injury quickly after losing the United States Championship and he didn’t return until the 2006 edition of No mercy, where he was the suprise return against William Regal, in a very good technical match. He would go on to have a rivaly with MVP for the majority of 2007 feuding over the United States Championship once more. Chris Benoit had his final match on a episode of ECW and he was scheduled to go on and win the ECW World Championship at the upcoming Vengeance, Night Of Champions 2007 Pay Per View. However, he did not turn up and Johnny Nitro took his place and won the championship. The next day we found out that Chris Benoit had died as well as his wife Nancy and his son. The next night on RAW the WWE paid tribute to Chris Benoit but the next night on ECW Vince Mcmahon declared that the WWE would have nothing to do with Chris Benoit and it has been the same ever since. In my opinion there will never be another Chris Benoit and i get very emotional and passionate when the topic is discussed amongst wrestling fans where they either disrespect him or say that he didn’t kill his wife and child. Right get this thorugh your head Chris Benoit killed his wife and children but it was a bad moment, we are all human and have bad moments, now shut up and remember the life of one of the greatest pro wrestlers of all time, my idol Chris Benoit. |

I choose not to think about it. It's hard enough watching his matches, but when I start talking about him and what he did... it's just not good. I've tried several times over the years to do a write-up about him, and I obviously have never finished it because it's something I don't want to relive in my mind. |

"we all have bad moments" is like saying "Hiroshima was just one little bomb". But I think I get your sentiment. Benoit had some great work in the ring and we can't pretend he never happened. Also:
This is a new one to me. Do some people actually believe that Benoit didn't do it or he was set-up and/or framed? THAT would absolutely blow my mind (not the conspiracy, but that some people think there was one). Please clarify. I don't remember him wrestling Eddie Guerrero or Rey Mysterio, Jr in ECW. He left around July 1995 and Mysterio didn't arrive until September (and seemed to wrestle Psicosis, exclusively). Eddie was really only in ECW for a cup of coffee in 1995; mostly facing Malenko after beating 2 Cold Scorpio for the TV title. I think Rey, Eddie and Benoit all mixed it up, earlier, in Japan and/or Mexico. Benoit in WCW from 1998 to his departure in early 2000 was arguably one of the best wrestlers in the world. Probably earlier, but that's basically when he established himself (puro, Stampede and Pegasus Kid fans may disagree). I liked how, when he went to the WWF, the didn't really change his character. He was still "Mr. Intensity" or "The Rabid Wolverine" from his WCW days. Perry Saturn had Moppy, head injuries and "You're Welcome". Dean Malenko became a weird ladies' man/James Bond kinda' thing. Eddie Guerrero became Latino Heat. |

No one with a functioning brain thinks it was a conspiracy. Probably the same people that still think Warrior died in 1991 and Ludvig Borga was going to headline Mania X as WWF Champion. |

I'll stress the "functioning brain" statement. Did some quick Googling on the subject-- and feel like I killed some braincells doing so. No reputable sources. Stuff like: "Kevin Sullivan is currently a high-ranking member of the Satanic Church and once said he'd kill Benoit in a promo on Monday Nitro when they were fighting through the concourse and into the bathrooms as a continuation of an earlier feud with Brian Pillman and Sullivan because the Alliance to End Hulkamania wasn't successful...." I'm hoping somebody was trying to make a joke in VERY poor taste by starting this junk. It's kinda' like saying Kevin "Nailz" Kelly orchestrated a plan to kill Ray Traylor. |

Yes. He Killed the Boss Man who used to be Big Bubba Rogers and then The Big Bossman, then The Boss then the Guardian Angel then back to Big Bubba Rogers then Ray Traylor who joined the nWo but became a babyface when he came back from injury and teamed with the Steiner Brothers at Starrcade 1997. Also, other things you may not have known about Famous Wrestling Deaths: -Jake Roberts killed Rick Rude as retaliation for making out with Cheryl Roberts in 1988. -Kerry Von Erich was shot and killed by longtime rival, Terry Gordy, who made it look like a suicide. I'd go on, but I think you get the joke...and it's not a very amusing one to begin with. |

That first run-on sentence reminds me of someone from a long time ago... I can't put my finger on it. |
