Still conflicted about Benoit after these years

[MushroomX]

I was thinking about this at work all day, about Chris.

I still have fond memories of Benoit, he was like the first person I could remember that made Technical Wrestling very cool to watch; always loved Benoit's style more than Hart's. There was something credible with Benoit's type that made you watch, and making you love submission holds more than pinfalls.

So even to this day with Benoit murdering his family, and being the pariah that haunts Vince from ever going TV-14, I still am in shock about what Benoit did. Sure he was a private person, and maybe that was the reason why, he seemed very blue-collar and just did his job to provide food for his family. Never once could I image that all that brain damage suffered would just get him in a murderous zone to do what he did.

Mufukka was crazy. Just happened to be a great wrestler as well

 

[TransJenner]

Yeah I don't believe he was in the right state of mind , it just sucks that it happen , I mean his best friend died too mixed with the brain problems just set him off I guess we'll never know

 

[Xane Vic]

What's to be conflicted 'bout? Vince sent them goons...

 

[Da King]

He's still in my top 10 and maybe the second greatest technical wrestler only behind Kurt

Most wrestlers are pieces of shyt in their personal lives anyway

 

[Konnan]

fukk him

If he just killed his wife then probably I could see forgiving him maybe because for all I know she could have done some foul shyt that made son snap but killing his kid too?

Nah...can't let that slide

Kid didn't do shyt to deserve having his life took

Boo hoo you lost your best friend..I lost two friends I grew up with before I was 21 and I made it thru it ok

 

[Mastamimd]

Wishful thinking. One of the best to do it but he did some foul shyt.

 

[TransJenner]

Made Triple H tapout at Wrestlemaina

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

Why couldnt he have just had a massive heart attack like everybody else?

 

[Mook]

90 year old alzheimer patient brain status.

Wasn't his fault.

 

[KushSkywalker]

RVD vs Benoit

Benoit vs Angle

 

[Grifter]

fukk him.







But those TV title matches though.

 

[Lord Scion]

At the end of the day, he still murdered his wife and kid. He's automatically bushes status, and Jimmy Snuka about to join him there.

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

What's to be conflicted about?

He was a terrible person and a great wrestler.

I dont see what one has to do w the other

Whoever is behind this man's demise did a good job...the hardest working and most respected pure wrestler of the era just SO HAPPENS to go nuts and kill his own son. It did it's job...it ruined his reputation and painted him as the kind of monster that can be even more disgusting than a Hitler...not even Hitler would kill his own seed, eh?
