Regardless of what has happened, I'd just like to thank Chris Benoit for the many wonderful memories that he provided me as a wrestling fan.
I do not know Chris Benoit in real life, but I DO know (to a certain extent) Chris Benoit THE WRESTLER a.k.a. The Rabid Wolverine.
I remembered that first night when Benoit lead the Radicalz and shit kicked DX. I remember that night where Chris Benoit became World heavyweight Champion for the 1st time, only to celebrate with Eddie Guerrero afterwards. I remember Chris Benoit for his 5 star classic matches with Dean Malenko, Triple H, Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero, and many many more.
I do not "know" Steve Williams. I do not "know" Michael Hickenbottom, or Paul Levesque. Simiarly, I do not "know" Chris Benoit outside the WWE.
Based on his tremendous wrestling career however, I want to thank Chris Benoit for the many wonderful memories that he provided me.
God Bless.
Sincerely,
Kapil.
