#Chris Benoit

Thoughts... I know mine!

I put Benoit in the top 10 all time greats of wrestling, the guy was a natural at it.

I'd personally love to see Chris get his place in the HOF. I understand peoples thoughts but from someone who has studied this whole case over and over and over... trust me when I said. Not all the numbers add up!

Thoughts after watching Mr. McMahon

This one won't be a traditional review of sorts that people have come to expect from me. Recently, Netflix released Mr. McMahon a look into the mind of the most recognized face in the wrestling business.

Netflix decided throughout the documentary that they wanted to reiterate that almost all of this documentary was made before the major allegations against Vince in 2022. That felt a little bit like a cop out at times. For me instantly, that is the story. It is how Vince will be remembered now, and there is no way around it. It basically made the serious accusations levied against Vince feel like just another throwaway moment in the life of an eccentric billionaire.

They immediately can say well we addressed it with the little blurb saying that the events within the 6 episodes are now skewed. Yet they awkwardly chose to edit one of the very first sentences of the documentary to essentially be Vince saying "I wish we could talk about things but I have to be silent."

The issue that arises from that is at what point in the process did Vince say that? Was it a harmless throwaway when asked about locker room talk? Was it in a means to try and get him to elaborate on the known affairs that he himself made public.

While personally I won't go as far as to say Bruce Prichard is right when saying this doesn't paint the portrayal of Vince, it certainly allowed too much of Vince to keep speaking while their was damning evidence mounted against him over the last two years. They should have switched the focus of the documentary when that information came out. They should have made it life with vs life without Vince. Of course, we still don't know exactly what long-term life without him looks like, but we should have had more superstars interviewed about how they felt. These were people who clearly prior to the allegations coming out that were still trying to blur the lines between reality and fiction. Including Vince himself. It casts shadows on most of the people who worked so closely with Vince over the years. It made the Mr. McMahon character the center piece of a story that is about real-life debauchery and trying to get away with it.

It felt like the real story here, which was the deaths of Owen Hart, Chris Benoit, and Ashley Massaro, were simply glossed over because while making the documentary, they still wanted to paint Vince as this creative mastermind. As said both are true. He did this. He brought this to life but there should be no celebrating the man that brought his real life depravity to the screen.

After Janel Grant filed her lawsuit, the entire focus of this documentary should have changed. There was truly never a Mr. McMahon character and if seeing the way he treated Ashley in one scene they used didn't leave you feeling sad and lost then this documentary failed to highlight the true nature of how evil and vile this man could be. It should have been about why one person controlling so much of one entity is never a good thing. Vince McMahon is the ultimate definition of power, corrupting the mind and having your way in life because you feel untouchable. If nothing else, please let this documentary serve as a means to let young women and men know that money never gives a person the right to dominate you.

You can't separate the art from the artist with Chris Benoit

Once again Chris Benoit's cultist fans on Twitter are once again trying to pull the "what he did was horrible, but we can separate what he did and admire his in ring work"

He put xanax in his seven year old son before smothering him to death. He broke his wife's spine while strangling her to death. that's how i remember Chris Benoit.

See, this is what going to far with your fandom will get you. Glorifying a murderer because he has "good workrate"

If you can ignore someone MURDERING THEIR WIFE AND CHILD because you liked their fucking in ring work, you don’t have any humanity or morals at all.

Imagine doing the “separate the art from the artist” thing with a guy who murdered his wife and son.

I don’t CHOOSE to remember Chris Benoit. I don’t think about Chris Benoit until weirdos get on Twitter and start saying “but but but in-ring technician”.

And I don't want to hear about CTE, roid rage or alcohol.

Benoit was sane enough to call lying to friends and coworkers on where he was. He was sane enough to sedate his innocent son before murdering him. He was sane enough to Google airline flights to still travel to the PPV AFTER HE MURDERED HIS WIFE AND SON. He was sane enough to Google ways to snap a neck. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Benoit is burning in hell for what he did and anyone who makes excuses for what he did or downright ignores what he did because of "workrate" can burn in hell with him.

I promise that there are plenty of living and dead wrestlers you can choose to build a personality around who didn't kill their wife, son, and then themself. Y'all want so desperately to just pretend the giant elephant isn't in the room when it murdered it's entire family.

If you desperately want to admire someone's workrate so much, Bryan Danielson and Bret Hart are literally right there.

I will leave you what Austin and Paul Heyman said about the murderer.

"Speaking for myself, Chris Benoit as the person I knew, loved him. Chris Benoit as a wrestler, loved him. Chris Benoit as the person who did what he did, unforgivable. Bottom line.”

“Yeah you can admire his work all you want, but I’ll give you my take on it since you keep on yelling out ‘my boy’—three people died in that house that night, three. Three people died in that house that night, only one person had the choice behind it. The other two didn’t have a choice to die. So if that’s your boy, fuck you. So a talent? Remarkable. As a human being? I don’t care about CTE, I don’t care what the reasons are Nancy and Daniel had no option, he did. Fuck him.”

Me listening to YouTube on my TV as I build legos

Youtube- Now into the murder suicide of Chris Benoit

When I tell you I nearly snapped my neck with how fast I turned around to look at the telly. How'd I go from music to minecraft to Chris Benoit? All autoplay by the way. My controller is sat by my TV.

I wish I was lying. Youtubes autoplay really pulled one on me this time. Five hours I've been sat here building lego, five hours of a mix of music and video games. And then bang.

Chris Benoit was a pro wrestler who murdered his wife and child in their home before committing suicide, 14 hours before this was discovered, a wikipedia article noted he would be replaced by another wrestler in a match due to personal issues including the death of his wife:

The article originally read: ‘Chris Benoit was replaced by Johnny Nitro for the ECW World Championship match at Vengeance, as Benoit was not there due to personal issues, stemming from the death of his wife Nancy.’ The phrase ‘stemming from the death of his wife Nancy’ was added at 12:01 a.m. EDT on June 25, whereas the Fayette County police reportedly discovered the bodies of the Benoit family at 2:30 p.m. EDT (14 hours, 29 minutes later).

However Chris himself didn’t edit the page, the police traced this edit back to Stamford… where WWE headquarters is located.

There are other strange things in the case too, like the bottles of alcohol and steroid needles littered around the scene but no alcohol or steroids being in Chris’ body. Chris had also been paranoid that someone was following him in the weeks up to the murder, and had repeatedly texted one of his closest friends his address (despite the fact he came over regularly to visit and knew where he lived) in the moments up to the murder.
