Benoit had the best German suplexes. He could land 10 in a row & you'd land soft as a pillow but they looked *hard*

Such a shame. Benoit is top 3 in-ring of all time. Never a wasted movement. He perfected every style of wrestling

Kurt likes the Big Eagle Belt. Niiice. He's held some of the best looking championships over the years.

Nobody brought intensity quiet like Chris Benoit, had he not did what he done. Well he would’ve been the goat hands down, but such is life.

I'm glad we're at a point where people can comfortably talk about Benoit in the context of his work in the ring. The guy committed a horrible act but has touched and influenced the careers of so many people. I doubt Jericho's WWE career would have taken off as well as it did without his intense on/off feud with Benoit, and the matches he had with Angle brought about the first signs of change in the main event from the big muscled talents to small, quicker technical workers.

While Kurt doesn't really need Benoit to have a great catalogue of some of wrestling's best matches, it is still a shame that Benoit's body of work is forever blacklisted, because his matches with Angle in particular might be Angle's best, my personal favorite is still his match with HBK in WM21, but Angle vs Benoit in RR 2003 sure gives it a run for its money.

Having a torn miniscus sucks. When it catches and you can't straighten your leg it's hell.

The kurt vs benoit matches were some of rhe greatest

Watched a lot of WWF/WWE as a kid. Got really into the Benoit story, pre-rumble until he ruined everything. As an adult it's nice to know that Benoit was a good worker as well as that underdog story.

@bassacoustic1549

@@LINKMASTERX I haven’t come across a lot of that, I’ve only really scratched the surface myself. I personally think Chavo knows a bit more than he lets on. Probably more details from the phone calls that he feels would put Benoit in an even worse light. Hardcore Holly says he spoke to Benoit around the day he killed Nancy and apparently Benoit sounded furious and said she was acting like Hitler. To me I think it was an aggressive husband who had drank too much (people say he had a dark side when he’d been drinking), everything had kicked off between them and he totally lost it. Then when the realisation set on of the situation he was in, he had the presence of mind to drug his son for a tragic mercy (in Benoit’s mind) killing. Researching flights to the PPV with the bodies in the house is one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever read, but I guess maybe he was considering trying to get away with it and make out it was someone else, who knows. Then when he realised he was totally cornered, had destroyed everything and was going to jail, he bailed out. Grim stuff. I personally don’t believe the conspiracies and think that’s what went down. CTE and steroids may well have played a role in his being impulsive and irrational, but he was still pretty high functioning by the sounds of it so I do think fans and wrestlers go easy on him at times..... there’s an element of an “excuse” given his apparent brain issues but it’s just so outrageous what he did. The way all 3 deaths were spaced out over multiple days doesn’t really paint it as a roid rage blackout killing spree.

I'm someone who has friends who taught me to look at the logical side of life and that most conspiracies take too much effort/cooperation to even exist. But there are some numerical things about the events and Benoit's last opponents that just seem WAY too coincidental. "Burke, Punk sharing birthday w K. Sullivan (his last scheduled opponent), johnny nitro replaced him (Sullivan was booker of WcW and Nitro when all the divorce stuff occured).

It is definitely a deep rabbit hole. One that I found eery was that on Wikipedia they announced Nancy Benoit’s death on Friday, two days before the actual tragedy I just know there’s way more to the story than what the media says, just a shame we’ll never learn the truth

the 1998-2002 WWF Championship was the best

If ONLY Benoit hadn’t snapped he would have passed away due to an enlarged heart 10 months later and we’d praise his legacy and his most importantly his family would still be here 😭
