You can tell dude don't look right. He always had that serious look, but you can tell it's different here.

Oh damn!!!! Nice!!! So that did make TV!!

For years I thought that was off cam

Yeah I was actually hype for ECW during those years had Burke and Cor Von as heels to fued with plus you still had some of the originals that were interesting. Too bad Benoit left us hanging that PPV he and Punk could've tore the house down Benoit was having some dope matches with MVP before coming to ECW too he was still solid midcard talent.

Benoit was death waiting to happen though if not then he'd been dead within 2 years he was roided the fukk out same shyt with my dude Eddie Gilbert who died in Puerto Rico it was just a matter of time for some of these guys.

That's their GOAT match. I actually thought Benoit would win.

I forgot they were tag champs too.

shyt was crazy, I'll never forget that day. I didn't have a working computer or internet at the time so I wasn't able to catch the fukkery online. Local news had reported at 5 that a WWE wrestler had been found dead in his home, I can't remember if they said it was Benoit..I think they did. They worded it as if someone had killed him.. I was like and the tribute show I watched in full and was shyt was sad as hell until the next night on ECW when Vince said what really happened I never felt anyway about it after that.

I remember Jericho with his new haircut and other wrestlers being all on the news networks having sitdown interviews. I need to read that Ring Of Hell book soon.

it would be one thing if they had just drove by the place, but to get out and act as if they are at the Statue of Liberty or Grand Canyon is just

I remember looking forward to the Mr. McMahon tribute episode that night, because of fukkery potential. Had even avoided all wrestling sites I frequented till the moment the show started, so nothing would be spoiled. Right as I was logging into a forum I posted on for years and entered the wrestling section, I saw the headline about Benoit and his family. Shocked, I turned my head towards my TV, only to see the in memorium graphic on the screen followed by Vince standing in the ring, with the arena behind him empty. The next few hours were all full of shock and confusion at what happened, with everyone on that site and others mourning the losses. Throughout the night, it started to change, as more news came out slowly that it wasn't something like a gas leak or a freak accident, like a lot of people there rationalized. It was starting to seem more and more like he did it, until finally confirmation came out. By the next morning it was official what happened and I remember Vince was on good morning America to discuss it. The whole thing was really bizarre, just the feeling surrounding it all. It didn't even seem real, with how sudden and swiftly it took place. Then seeing wrestlers all over news networks added to that bizarre feeling. I remember flipping between CNN and Fox News on any given night for a little while and seeing a wide variety of guys, like Marc Mero, Kevin Nash, Fit Finlay, John Cena, and Chris Jericho, just to name a few, all commenting on the subject and steroids and the like. I remember how the Jackass crew was supposed to be involved at Summerslam that summer but they dropped out due to what happened. News was going around that the government was gonna be regulating and monitoring drug tests in both WWE and TNA. It was a real crazy time to be a fan. And I can't even imagine what the surviving relatives and family members went through and felt and still feel to this day, having to deal with what happened. RIP to Nancy and Daniel.

Never understood why people wanted him in the hall of fame

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I haven't watched a match of his since. It's too much. And he was one of my absolute favorites at the time too. TOOTHLESS AGGRESSION. I remember seeing him in person and going "wow, he's not tall at all but this muthafukka looks like he could take anyone in the room "

He always looked crazy but I thought that was his character work. I used to use dude all the time in the smackdown games. My nikkas would be pissed off cuz I'd be reversing every damn move with his technical ability and then makin them TAP TAP TAP with the submission mashers

What a time

 

[patscorpio]

This shyt still krazy to me. Anyone who hasn't read Ring Of Hell should read it



I think it was so fukked up that my mind did the ok Grandpa Simpson in/out . gif

People like Triple H, Kane, Taker,, etc have seen so much death

Someone should drop the download

 

[THE 101]

Been watching some late 96 Nitros recently and there are some very awkward home videos with Benoit and Nancy/Woman cutting promos on Kevin Sullivan.

Very sad and disturbing watching them in retrospect.

 

[HipHopStan]

I wonder how Chavo feels knowing the last time he talked to Chris, there was 1 (maybe 2) dead bodies lying around his house. That shyt would keep me up at night especially since he was really close to Nancy and Daniel as well.

2:25 - onward

Benoit confronting Kendrick in the shower. "Did you work out today? " Going on the road with Benoit and Hardcore Holly must have been intense. When they tell you to eat your steak and egg whites, you damn well have better eat twice as many.
