Chris Benoit and Family...Dead

1967-2007

probably the greatest technical wrestler(along with the Dynamite Kid) to ever step into the squared circle...I've gone to quite a few wrestling events through the years but the most memorable one for me was Superbrawl 7 at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. One fo the matches that night was Chris Benoit vs Kevin Sullivan in a San Francisco Death Match(or was it Street Fight?)...during the match...Benoit and Sullivan made their way into the crowd right by where I was sitting....they were pretty damn close, so close in fact that during a moment of excitement..I slapped Chris Benoit in the back and the security guard "nudged" me a little to step back...now I didn't mean to slap him...I'm a HUGE Benoit fan..all I really wanted to do was give him a "good job buddy" pat on the back but I guess I was a wee bit excited...actually, if you can find the video of the match..you can see me on camera..uh...hitting Benoit....

Chris Benoit vs another great "grappler" Dean Malenko

I was a fan of his, but I'm done feeling sorry for this piece of trash. After seeing the grisly details of the case come out, I'm going to have a REAL hard time listening to testimonies and tributes from other wrestlers talking about what a great guy, or even a great performer he was. If he was so damn troubled, he should've killed himself first. Then it would be a little bit easier to have some sympathy for him.
