- John Hennigan talks about Christopher Benoit.
interview by MOONSAULT.de (Kevin Scheuren) • MOONSAULT.de Interview...
Chris Benoit was one of the absolute best and most respected wrestlers in the business and for good reasons and he's generally said to have been one of the nicest people in the world when he was alive, tons of wrestlers told stories on how Benoit would call them after they got released or had an injury or a surgery, way more than any person in wrestling would. Chris Benoit, when alive, was one of the most caring wrestlers ever, personal demons, concussions, a lot of his friends dying and other things we can only speculate about ruined him. Chris Benoit still is arguably the best technical wrestler of all time, a lof of the stuff he did in the ring are some of the most amazing things that have ever been done and he also was very muscular and extremely intense.
Very sincere... You can see the love and care, and all of the confusing questions circling around, John. It's great to see such a humane reaction from him. God be with all the victims involved, in this terrible tragedy.
You can tell how hard it is for John to talk about him. I know how he feels when he says it's hard to watch Chris. I think it pretty much feels like that for everyone that remembers watching the news when it broke and then hearing about what happened on those tragic days. It's really sad because the end of WM 20 was once considered the greatest ending to any PPV ever, and now it's so hard to watch without crying. It's not happy tears like it was when that moment first happened either. Knowing he and Eddie aren't with us anymore (and the reasons why) makes it almost impossible to see let alone sit through.
Kaylyn Owens WM 20 was in 2004, three years before the death of Benoit, WWE has had Wrestlemanias after that where they have called the ending the greatest ending of all time, like "YEStlemania", so yeah.
So what happened to Chris Benoit and his family
He probably got set up most definitely that's just my opinion everybody's entitled to their opinion
@@thevideos-rj8bo You aint entitled to a wrong opinion when all the information is available lol. He did it.
I agree to a point. I can still watch Chris's matches and enjoy them, because, imo, something broke in Chris, his mind fell apart, mental illness and all the things going on around him caused him to act horrificly, and I think he killed himself because he hated himself for what he'd done. It's all sad. But when I look at matches before I get to see the man he was before, and from all accounts, THAT man was a good one who everyone loved, so I feel no guilt about enjoying his work. He wasn't always the thing he became. But I know its harder for other people. It was such a big part of my childhood though, Eddie was my #1 fav growing up and Chris was my #2. It'd be harder for me to not watch any of their matches.
Respect john Morrison on this.
WWE tried to erase Benoit but all of his matches are on WWE Network. I just finished watched the Benoit oand Rock feud in 2000.
I hope they don't erase Benoit victory in wrestlemania 20
I just checked, it is still there as of 6/6/16
all benoit matches are on the wwe network but you cant search them by name you gotta go to specific event
Its sad that even now, when people are fully aware of the dangers of traumatic brain injuries, WWE still distance themselves from him.
I think it makes sense. It wasn't like he was just paralyzed because of wrestling, he committed a horrible crime
This is a damn good interview
The Everchosen some

To hear John Morrison on the time He replaced Chris Benoit for his world title match it sounds like it’s hard for him to acknowledge that moment cause he could tell still there is a dark cloud around it due to learning of what happened at first it was everyone tearing up due to Chris and his family being nice to the public and after learning what might have happened t makes it shocking and confusing to explain to this day
This interview has a very 2000 feel to it. Love it.
"It's hard to watch him." It really is.
I can’t watch a Benoit match without cringing every time he takes any sort of damage to the head after knowing how badly it messed him up and what that ultimately led to.
Such a shame too because he’s one of the greatest technicians of all time.
you can feel how hurt he is by his voice at the end... i can't imagine being on the shoes of those who loved and knew chris
If you read the police report it will break your heart what he did to his son. Rest in hell, Chris.
where did you see the police report
i think the description the only time he has publicly been referred to as "Christopher Benoit" lmao
Krispin Wah Faker
Chris Benoit is Dead. Krispin Wah still exists.
His name is Christopher though 🤔
Well Christopher Benoit is Chris’s full real name while John Henningan is Morrison’s real name
Beniot as a wrestler one of the greats. As a person what he did, he deserves to be forgotten his family deserve to be remembered.
If Chris Benoit didn't do what he did, the WWE would still do headshots and high flying headbutts from 20 foot ladders...as sad as it is, it took THAT to happen, for a safer work environment to be implemented.
The K Wall also he indirectly launched John's solo career .
He wouldve died months later
You gotta remember who orchestrated all of it.....She would probably would have ran for office earlier lol.
@@truuflight1142 how tfck did u know?!
RIP Chris Benoit... head injuries and the loss of Eddie was was to much
No Rip the poor in innocent people he killed
Jwhat Lopez embarrassing yourself
Liam Dunphy he didn’t kill anyone his family was murdered
Jwhat Lopez got any proof?
You forgot steroids. Oh, and, that time in third grade when he skinned his knee.
Man that had to be very hard on John Morrison. I don't blame him at all. I was a big fan of Chris Benoit as a child. I watched him win the United States Title on 3 separate occasions during what would turn out to be his last 3 years of his life. I was lucky to watch him make Triple H tap out in the middle of the ring to win the World Heavyweight Title at MSG in the main event of WM XX. That was one of the greatest moments in WWE History. Not so many wrestlers in WWE can say that they made Triple H tap out in the middle of the ring. It was on that night where Chris Benoit became a legend. But back to my point, it's hard on all of us who knew him. I'm not saying that I knew him in his personal life. But for the people who knew either in the ring or in his personal life. I know even though he'll never be inducted into the WWE HOF, he'll always be remembered for the contributions & stuff that he made in the ring. For putting his body on the line every night for our entertainment. If anyone has little kids that don't know who Chris Benoit was, let them watch him take on Triple H & Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XX in a Triple Threat match for the World Heavyweight Title. I know that's the match I will put on with my kids one day if they wanna know who Chris Benoit was.
Thomas Muller That's really good man, but what if they find out what he did?
Benoit was a legend even before joining WWE, he has the title of being the greatest technical wrestler that ever exist and it's something that will never ever been erased from history.
I think the best match of Chris' carrer was against Angle at Royal Rumble 2003. But however everything that this dude did in the ring was precious and perfect. I don't know the others, but I can separate the wrestler to the person, this is why to this day I think he should be in the Hall Of Fame.
To this day chris benoit legacy & memories are still within my soul of hearts..😪💯i still think about him and rewatch all his classic matches from eddie guerrero#RIP to triple h, kurt angle of course, his early days with the radicalz in the attitude era i just still think about him sad his legacy will never be acknowledged😔😔
youre sad for HIM?! to not even mention his family speaks volumes of the type of person you are
same.
It's a tricky scenario, because you can admire his wrestling, you can be a supporter of that, and that legacy needs to be kept alive cause you really can't erase history. But earasing Chris Benoit the person, was the right move.
If Benoit would was fighting with CM Punk that night for the ECW Championship, John Morrison would never existed... R.I.P Chris, I miss you.
I heard they were on the verge of releasing him. Chris’s death was a blessing in disguise for him.
@@screamrad218 I don't think so... WWE had good plans for him, even when he won the title that night, but you know then he was suspended for drugs issues or something like that. I think Benoit and Punk would have consolidate him so much better as a heel.
Even I think that Benoit first defense for the title would have been with Nitro at Great American Bash, but who knows...
Lol what Morrison was still a very popular midcarder.
@@wildchild01ok probably Punk would've turned heel for rematches against Benoit at GAB and Summerslam. Then Benoit would've feuded with Nitro. Not sure if he would've changed his name to Morrison yet.
People forget that Chris has already been inducted into the wrestling newsletter hall of fame and the stampede hall of fame so his legacy is technically okay
Andre Primeaux yeah, i mean, he only murdered his wife and child, no big deal (obviously sarcastic tone)
@John Sanchez, "ALLEGEDLY" it was never proven in a court of law, never stood trial, never had a jury, never got to face his accusers. very likely he could have done it but his rights seemed to have been taken away because he died and was a convenient answer to the question. oh yeah and if you trust what cops say then you haven't been paying attention to the news about what cops have been doing this last decade or longer!
John Sanchez were talking about his wrestling not the way he ended his life
@@KingPossum If the boots don't fit, you must acquit.
A strong majority of people wanted to get them out of the Hall of Fame but it wasn’t enough for Dave Meltzer to get him out. Therefore, they leave him there.
Because Morrison knew Benoit so well as a person, I can see it being hard for him to watch matches of his old friend. But as a fan, I have no problem watching him. Get sucked so deep in the moment
0:32 lol it's funny how he was at the right place right time and just threw his name out there and that was what jump started his career.
Jump started his career ? He was already a multiple time intercontinental champion and a multiple time tag team champion
Johnny RAW. Johnny SmacDown. Johnny Shotgun Saturday Night.
Imagine how uncomfortable it had to be for wwe to edit Benoit on the wwe network
I strongly believe he is innocent , not because I loved him as a wrestler but because if you do your research there's lots of things that don't make sence and there is a couple people who know more then what was released INCLUDING some of the wwe office
Yeah I think thats true to.
I find it weird that Benoit just snapped, considering he was known as a really nice guy... Sadly, we will never know the truth. I will always remember him as one of my favorite wrestlers of all time, it's a shame Benoit will always be remembered as the man who did that horrific crime.
LOL
Cmon man. NONE of Benoit's family or friends have said that he is innocent. Everyone accepted it. Chavo, Edge, Jericho, no one believes he's innocent. I don't think he's innocent either however if somehow we knew 100% that he was innocent it wouldn't surprise me.
TurbanatorGamer there's also lot of them that just wont comment on it , that's not them saying he did or didn't the ones that due talk they aren't researching anything just going by opinion and hear say.. Jericho wasn't even wrestling at the time btw so him saying anything is irrelevant but that's your opinion and there's.... everyone has there own opinion.
Jimmy snuka murdered his girlfriend and he's considered one of the best ever, he was in the rumble a few years ago, strange how he got away with being a murderer.
You can tell at the end, the mentioning of Chris Benoit hit John Morrison hard. It's hard for me to go back and watch him on the WWE Network. I just stick with today's pay-per-views and not the past ones.
Dustin Nunn That's gotta be hard. Your big career break as a solo guy comes as a result of Chris Benoit going AWOL and killing his family and himself. Must have been really bittersweet.
+Dustin Nunn Yeah. I could only imagine how hard it must've been for John Morrison and the entire WWE that night. As Morrison said it's hard to watch him on anything without knowing what he did. I was a big fan of Chris Benoit back in the day. And I know I can't watch some matches he's had on the WWE Network without knowing what he did in his final moments of his life. And I'm actually surprised that they decided to put him on the WWE Network.
Thomas Muller I agree. Because of regardless of what happened with Benoit and his family, you cannot erase somebody from history all because of an accidental double-murder caused by concussion-related symptoms. Sure it was a horrible thing, but this is what happens when people get concussions nonstop! Look what happened to poor Chris Benoit! Look what happened to poor Nancy and Daniel! Nancy and Daniel didn't deserve to get killed and Chris himself didn't deserve to kill Nancy and Daniel, either! Personally, in my opinion, I blame that racist, political, hypocritical, judgmental scumbag Vince McMahon, WWE and other wrestling companies for paying Chris Benoit and the other wrestlers for taking drugs and for getting hit in the head so much! It's no wonder drug and concussion-related tragedies happen and it's no wonder why Chris Benoit cannot be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame!
Dustin Nunn I can see why they won't put him in the Hall of Fame. But with them not mentioning him anymore?! That ain't right. They had no right to erase Chris Benoit from history. Cause like U said 'U cannot erase somebody from history because of an accidental murder suicide.'
+Dustin Nunn Your making vince the scapegoat for Chris Benoit killing his family. The man commited murder! Concussions are horrible and need to be reseached more in the realm f sports but thats still no excuse for murder.
My first takeaway from this is I'm surprised at how soft spoken Hennigan seems in real life..
Second, I love Beniot as a wrestler, and I still enjoy watching his matches from time to time; but I totally understand why other people would be uncomfortable with him/them, and why WWE feels like there's no way they can even seem to promote him.
My brothers and I got to go see this ppv live.
Miss him so much..
The real life Johnny Cage not even a bad thing he's awesome
Honestly that should have been his gimmick. Instead it was cringe
believe it or not that interviewer is kevin owens twin brother
Evil is real and we must fight so that none of us succumb to it
It's like watching Jim Morrison being interviewed in the modern day ❤️
0:32 That impression of Laurinaitis 🤣
Benoit dosent come off as a scam artist to be manipulative so something tell me from how he was with ppl around and being such a loving person someone who he knew very well came inside then drugged, tied up, drank, and murdered all 3 benoits
Benoit has one son who is still alive
Lmao u guys r nuts
@@codynice8105 His name is David
Yah I know he wrestlers himself I just thought u where saying he did it I read it wrong lol
Chavo Guerrero talked to him on the phone after he killed them.He did it.
Chris Benoit was one of the best to do it , terrible the way things ended for him and his family.
I wish J.M. sticks with "Johnny Nitro". It's pretty thrilled.
In hindsight, it seems odd that they chose to put the title on him and not Punk. Ssince they didn't know what had happened yet, the assumption must have been that Benoit will be appearing in the future so why not put the title on Punk and continue that storyline with Benoit?
Benoit was supposed to go over that night. But most wrestling companies will try to keep the same results no matter what happens so whoever they replaced Chris with was going over Punk.
Benoit, according to Nancy’s sister. Was gonna retire, later that year. Possibly due to the budget cutbacks. So, after hearing he was gonna win the title. He was gonna stick around til he lost the title, a few months later.
Chris ben-What?
Chris Benoit you're the best
Damn i wish you too had a proper feud and match together?^^
dont try to censored chris benoit name,this is not wwe network
I think that it's appropriate to separate performer from someone's personal life. What Benoit did was wrong yes, but because of that I don't think it's right to just erase all his accomplishments and pretend that he never existed, as is WWE's case.
Thanks dude
No one will ever know what happens but God.
Chris was gonna die anyway the damage was already done and he was going to die in 10 or 6 months he'd been doing the diving headbutt and getting hit in the head for 22 years he was gonna die regardless the sad part is that he decided to take his family then himself..
I get why people, especially people that actually knew Chris and Nancy and their son, say that it is hard to watch Chris Benoit after what happened.
Everyone has to come to their own conclusion and deal with it as they see fit.
But pretending Chris Benoit didn't exist and blotting him out of the history books as if he never made sense isn't right either. He is part of wrestling history rather we like it or not. His contributions to the history of professional wrestling are there rather we want to pretend that they aren't or not.
To this day I think they should have gave the title to Elijah Burke and not Nitro.
Vince hates black
Kevin Sullivan did it
Human.
Is there an example of superstars being fired from WWE?
It's hard to separate the wrestler from the person.... Kayfabe sometimes just don't work :(
Respect to Johhny Nitro
iam
very sorry for your loss
he
a
goo
d
wwe
The question still remains is why did he kill his family and his self?
Even though none of us knows what happened that weekend. But
If he did do it, most likely it was a violent episode of CTE considering his brain looked like a 80+ year old alzheimers patient.
Then after realizing what he done. He probably just felt killing himself would be his punishment.
Kevin Sullivan killed him I couldn't see Benoit doing that
Can i ask how would Kevin sullivan know where they live at
@@lamontjenkins6611 he's trolling u bro don't acknowledge his ass. Benoit did that shit
I can’t either. He was my childhood hero but he did do it. We need to realize that. He did do it. There is enough evidence to prove it. His brain was melting. He basically went crazy
Lamont Jenkins I saw somewhere forgot where, I saw that i think it was chavo he said how benoit had to go through different routes to go home because he was paranoid someone was following him home.
So you can’t believe that Benoit did it but you can believe that a guy that didn’t even know where they lived did it? Hmm ok
Chris Benoit vs Booker T WCW one of the greatest matches of all time in my opinion still until this day
Update 2020 Chris matches is on wwe network but looking on wrestle mania 20 the Segment between he and Eddie it just says Eddie gives advice to friend I’m really looking forward to vice documentary on Chris so sad how it ended it would be awesome to get dean or Vickie to induct him into the hall of fame but I agree that if Chris was it be more talk about that weekend then his wrestling but he up there in heaven with Eddie
They said what they were gonna do, not mention him. All of his matches on the network, only say who wrestled is in action.
i was at that show
Holy shit, he reminded me of Kevin Thorn.
not hard for me to watch a Benoit match at all. I press the play button and enjoy some quality wrestling for the length of his match. Benoit puts on one hell of a match usually. as for what he allegedly did well, it wasn't proven in a court of law, he hasn't faced his accusers and had no jury trial so until they are able to raise him from the dead and give him due process of law there will always for me be a shadow of a doubt if he did it or not. also what someone does in their private life doesn't take away from what they did in the ring. #BenoitWasGreatWrestler
Actually, that’s not true, you definitely can mark someone in the court of law...
The police report says this tragedy was a double-murder-suicide... Benoit is not here to plead to the charges...
Do you not think... for one second that Daniel Benoit, Benoit’s parents, Chris’s X-wife, or the WWE would not have paid lawyers and detectives to clear Benoit’s name?
Chris Benoit almost put WWE out of business, many wrestlers had to beg Congress not to ban it...
Watch the dark side of the ring, it reveals stuff that removes any doubt. An example, Chris googled a week before Nancy’s death how to break a neck quickly...
Chris is legally a murderer, Nancy and Daniels murder cases are CLOSED. If a man is dead and convicted of murder, next of kin can step up in their defense as the conviction could cause issues with the estate, ever wonder why nobody did?
Maybe that’s because You didn’t know know him personally dipshit lmao
Johnny drip drip loves benoit
i remember that the ecw main even was supposed too be cm drunk and benoiy
Chris is alive
What's your proof that chris benoit still alive??
Everyone who actually knows him says- what they're showing him to be, is not the man I knew.
A couple of fanholes say- he's a double murderer (please conveniently ignore he himself died, after all a man's life = what value?)
Now, you're free to trust any one of these groups. Whom will you logically trust? Whom will you actually trust?
We live in a world where cancer patient gets sympathy and mental patient gets hatred. Don't expect logic to prevail.
Where's this dude (John Morrison) at? I don't see him on wwe alr for,decades
Lucha underground, he said he wants to return some day
+zavier Jackson your profile pic makes me sad.
I know I like to remember him Shadow Poison
zavier Jackson he's my role model. i watch him in tna.
Me 2 he's is the only reason I loved the wrestling buisness
Dam chris why...
Years later its still just confusion
He had CTE
Everyone knows Kevin Sullivan killed the three of them.
No.. Just some idiots
Erik Seidler thats just a theory
they were supposed to tap out
ECW Chapionship Belt. A world heavyweight championship belt that didnt matter.
Fans have to understand as a man Chris Benoit fucked up his own legacy by doing what he did. There is no excuse.
Because nobody really knows what happened
chris benoit once said hitler was the most influential man in history... he wasnt wrong. he wasnt saying it to be a bigot or anti semitic. he simply was right. everything that is political or international affairs today is in one way or another related to ww2. whether it be our trouble with the middle east or the nuclear threat it all started back in ww2.
So many benoit conspiracy theorists in the comments. JUST ACCEPT HE DID WHAT HE DID. MANY PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY GREW UP WATCHING HIM CAN ACCEPT IT. THERES NO CONSPIRACY. HE DID WHAT HE DID. HES STILL AN AMAZING WRESTLER. BUT HE ALSO DID WHAT HE DID AND THERES NOTHING THAT CAN CHANGE THAT OR REDEEM THAT
John Morrison talks about WHO?????
***** Your comment is blank..
Fire Marshall Bill Fuckee
Chris jericho i think
He never mentioned Jim Neidhart in this video.
all i know is that chris loved his kid he'd never abuse that kid if you look at the picture of chris and daniel he loved him i have a theory that nancy accidentally killed daniel and then when chris came home he had a argument and resulted in him killing nancy then when he realized that he killed her he was to emotinal and probably didnt want to go to jail so he killed himself....
then again we will probably never know what actually happened in that house
@@cadenbooker8842 Dude, get over your conspiracy theories. Chris Benoit killed BOTH Nancy and Daniel. It wasn’t Nancy, Kevin Sullivan or any random wrestler you Chris apologists think. The evidence says it all, the diving headbutts, steroid abuse, chair shots to the head, the domestic abuse Chris brought to Nancy, concussions and death of his best friend, Eddie Guerrero which made him broken and very depressed.
@@Theterminato2013 i mean we will never know tho also that was 2 months ago on that video why r u watching it anyways???
Daniel was found with Xanax in his system, not a chance it was an accident if they intentionally gave a child that.
kevin owens, the botch guy and now this interviewer damn so they.are triplets
Wonder when they'll stop acting like there wasn't another wrestler that died that night....
Lol benoit is showed in 2007 Royal Rumble
Well obviously considering that he was still alive and didn't pass away until later that same year...
That was earlier in 2007.
It wasn’t him lol. If you’re referring to the 2008 commercial, when Batista throws someone out the window....It was Haas.
Undertaker did it
Why
Really irrelevant things done by WWE for Chris Benoit and even there's no prove that Chris Benoit did it or not or planned.
Still no real proof if he did murder.
john morrison is not a ecw champion cuz that she wasn't ecw at all
CTE just like the nfl the wwe doesn't wanna say shit about how fucked his brain was. Because of all the impacts to his head.
Think about this... he was most likely in a state of heavy psychosis and was extremely brain damaged. As a result, he would've been found innocent on account of insanity.
I think the wife's ex husband has something to do with it.
you see people wearing cross's and crucifies don't assume they believe in jesus it works both ways they see it as a mocking because in reality this guy prob knows a lot more
