Benoit to me put the professional in professional wrestling. Hard work, class, actually earning his title shots, willing to work with AND PUT OVER the younger guys...
These events just go to show you how little we know of these men and women we spend countless hours watching and conversing about.
Although nothing has been ruled or finalized yet, everything so far looks pretty damning on Chris Benoit. The murder of his son is what makes this such an atrocity. Terrible. Fucking terrible.
I guess in the end it comes down to three people losing their life and a wrestling legacy likely being completely dismissed by history. Forget the Hall of Fame. Forget tearful wrestlers pointing to the sky wearing black armbands. Forget it all. Chris Benoit destroyed 22 years in 2 days and boiled his entire career down from what would have been pages upon pages of glowing reviews to one sentence: "the wrestler who killed his family and himself." Perhaps that seems too rough. Time will tell.
Just sucks to see someone you thought so right turn so wrong...
