So I'm going to tell you about Chris Benoit. Is he a Hero or someone who shouldn't be in the history books at all??
First off Chris Benoit was a man who was trained in the Hart Dungeon in Calgary Canada .Hart Dungeon was a wrestling School in a way that young talent would go to the Home of Stu Hart to learn wrestling. Stu is the dad of the legendary Bret Hart and Owen Hart . I will tell the Hart Story in another lesson. Chris Benoit did go to Japan and wrestled there as The Pegasus Kid with Eddie Guerrero who is a lifelong friend one of his best friends. Chris Benoit was a part of the Best of Super Juniors and defeated Chris Jericho in one of his matches.
He eventually came to Wcw and became friends with a man named Kevin Sullivan and his wife Nancy. Well Kevin Sullivan was a wrestler for WCW and Nancy was his Valet well while they were married he abused her and she ran to Benoit for Comfort. Nancy eventually divorced Sullivan and fell in love with Benoit and married him. Nancy and Chris had a son who had chromosome X syndrome named Daniel. Chris during this time was switching companies to WWE under Vince McMahon. Chris was a HW Champion and a Intercontinental champion along with one of the Four Horsemen in Wrestling.
On June 25, 2007, police entered Benoit's home in Fayetteville, Georgia when WWE, Benoit's employers, requested a "welfare check" after Benoit missed weekend events without notice, leading to concerns. The officers discovered the bodies of Benoit, his wife Nancy, and their 7-year-old son Daniel at around 2:30 p.m. EDT. Upon investigating, no additional suspects were sought by authorities.It was determined that Benoit had committed the murders.Over a three-day period, Benoit had killed his wife and son before committing suicide. His wife was bound before the killing. Benoit's son was drugged with Xanax and likely unconscious before Benoit strangled him.Benoit then committed suicide by hanging himself on his lat pulldown machine. Nancy and Daniel Benoit were found with a Bible. This event changed wrestling forever!!!
After the double-murder suicide, former wrestler Christopher Nowinski contacted Michael Benoit, Chris' father, suggesting that years of trauma to his son's brain may have led to his actions. Tests were conducted on Benoit's brain by Julian Bailes, the head of neurosurgery at West Virginia University, and results showed that "Benoit's brain was so severely damaged it resembled the brain of an 85-year-old Alzheimer's patient." Bailes and his colleagues concluded that repeated concussions can lead to dementia, which can contribute to severe behavioural problems. Benoit's father suggests that brain damage may have been the leading cause. Once the details of Benoit's actions became apparent, WWE made the decision to remove nearly all mentions of Benoit from their website, future broadcasts, and all publications.
One of the doctors gave Chris illegal steroids as well.
This event changed wrestling history forever because Vince had to go in front of supreme court and talk about Steroid use and also decide if Benoit deserves a Hall of Fame Entry. Benoit's History is erased from the WWE history books. Why would he put a murderer in the WWE Hall of Fame??
