This interview was conducted just one month prior to the Chris Benoit murders.
At this point in his career, Sid Vicious is a 2x Wrestlemania headliner, 2x WWE World Champion & 2x WCW Champion. Before WCW went out of business, booker Kevin Sullivan approached the 6'9 Sid with the idea of losing clean to 5'9 Chris Benoit.
Sid recalls being hesitant and confused over this because Chris Benoit was part of a backstage effort to oust Kevin Sullivan as booker in exchange for the return of Vince Russo. Not only that but Chris Benoit was also already talking about leaving WCW to head for WWE. Find out why Sid wasn't thrilled with the idea of losing to Benoit in the first place.

Sid is an amazing athlete and a hell of an entertainer. He was the meanest heel and he made it so believable.
Sid was awesome going against Goldberg. People forget that man ruled the big men. He was a machine waking up at 3am to get his 1st session in for the day. ALL THE PEOPLE WITH ALL THESE IDEAS, REMEMBER THE OLD STARTED IT FIRST. SID NEEDED TO BE BEHIND THE SCENES FOR THE BIG GUYS.
Jesus loves you
Sid comes across as such a down to earth, humble and rational guy. Makes me even more of a fan.
Same. Sid is underrated
sid tried to break brian pillmans neck on purpose with a power bomb and has no remorse for it til this day. He isn't a nice man. 💯
He only has half the brain that you have
I wish I can go back in time and help Chris he was so sad when Eddie passed. We all missed him.....we all loved both of them.
#WrestlingGods 😢
Yeah dude my dad a truck driver and he ate right beside sid in Waffle House at North Carolina said the man was very nice and great personality and he told my dad when the camera on live bad guy comes out
Even at his age now, Sid still looks like he'll knock someone TF OUT!
Bobby McGee this was 10 years ago, I think a bit more.
Yeah this is around 2006 / 2007 I believe
this sounds like the ancient shoot he did
Lmao yeah right just kick his left foot till it breaks again
@@drewjames2237 you're clownin him, for breaking his leg? 🥴
I miss the Hell outta Sid....he was a beast.
Sid " WHOS THE MAN "
Crowd " YOU THE MAN "
Sid " 👊🏼👊🏼 " fist pounds the crowd damn he was over!!!!
I feared for Hogan when sid was fighting him in WWF sid was damn sure intimidating
@@tonyburns6259 FACTS!!!!
Sid looks like he could be Brock Lesnar older brother
Man that would be pretty cool angle !!
And the younger brother of David Schultz.
@@rancantrell Nah that's stone cold
In sid's prime, he would be brocks dad
@@jerryesque3747 Sid is old enough to be Brock dad he's 15 years older than Brock
Psycho Sid for hall of fame
He should be in the rec softball HOF

Awesome MVS cus he loved playing softball and I’m almost positive he skipped some pre- taped promos just to play in a softball game

Big sid should have been in the hall of fame years ago

Every one of this clips of Sid just shows how well spoken he is and humble! He was always one of my favorites and growing up I always wanted to see him portray Sabretooth in an X-Men movie!
I can’t imagine what Kevin Sullivan was going thru. The pressure of his divorce and trying to work in that environment. Plus all the egos of the wrestlers. I’m a fan of Sid he is one of my all time favorites. Sullivan was in a No win situation at the time.
You know it’s bad when the talent are signing a petition to get Vince Russo back as head writer over you hahaha
Someone should email this to Jim cornette right now. Also since cornette loves Kevin Sullivan
You don't realize how amazing some of these guys are. Sid portrayed a psychopath his entire career yet he just seems like a legit rational guy. It's like the thing with Vader being a beast but being always known as a nice backstage.
Actually he was Sid Justice before but yeah he’s definitely better as a heel.
It’s true. In real life greg Valentine, Vader, Sid Vicious, Ted DiBiase were/are generally nicer people than the faces such as Hogan.
@@chamuuemura5314 He was Sid Justice for like 5 minutes.
Dude.... when Sid broke his leg!! That’s hard to watch!!!
To this day I've never seen it. I turn away or turn it off very time
By far the worst nauseating injury I've ever witnessed
I still can't watch it..
There have been a number of athletes who had horrific bone breaks.. I always look away to avoid the cringe..
I still haven't seen Anderson Silva's leg break against Chris Weidman...
I always look away... And it's voluntary.. It's just something I don't want to see..
@edray1488 A broken freakin leg at that
@@erickonassis5023 Same here. I've never watched Owen Hart's fall either.
Sid had a great gimmick. I remember watching him as a kid in WWF and being scared.
Stokage same dude he was damn scary ! What a great wrestler and a class act
Is that saber tooth speaking on wolverine??🤔🤔
#SHIIIID
Bro I've been saying hes the best guy to play Sabretooth since the early 90's
My second favorite wrestler of all time next to the British bulldog. I liked Sid so much I don't think I ever realized he was a heel.
Because the fans turned him!
The more I listen to Sid's shoots I realize he actually had/has a good mind for the business in the way of entertainment, storylines and booking especially for big guys literally and star wise. He may not be a technical master of ring work and psychology but he seems to get how to tell an overall story. He and someone like Jim Cornette, Scott Hall, and a Dusty Rhodes would make for a great creative team I think. That stuff he says at the end about Sullivan sounds simple but I get what he means.
As bad of a rap he got during his prime dude sure was an realist. He’s an OG. All we wanted for was guys to eat and to be equal when he understood not everyone would be treated equal. Wasn’t for shady business wasn’t for putting guys over when other guys deserved it more. Man we need more guys like Sid
Man Sid looks like he hardly aged.
"I had good matches with sid"
Today's WWE could really use a Sid Vicious.
They need a lot more than a star. Once they stop being garbage, then bring in the next Sid. Can't work with how bad it is now
@@I_Am_The_Social_Reject: Yeah, I agree. Still they need to set the conditions for that to be possible.
🤫🤫🤫. Don't say that....AEW might beat the WWE to the punch
Wrong!! I would hate to see someone like Sid have to put jabronis over every Monday.
Dijak
Man I loved the character sid vicious. He was awesome. Seems like a super smart and humble man in this interview. Seems like a great guy.
Sid smarter then they give he credit for, he talks like it just happened, real genuine and honest
Sid seems like too honest a guy to be involved in the snakepit that was WCW in the early 2000s
Chris left wcw because he didnt believe his career would take off because kevin sullivan was the booker and he didnt trust kevin with his career because of him and nancy.
Also Kevin threatened to kill Chris one day after a locker room brawl!
I think benoit knew his career was going nowhere, not only because Sullivan was the booker, but also because the bigger guys had the spotlight. Hall, nash, hogan , etc. I don't think anyone realized how intense & talented benoit was. He really came into his own when he joined wwf . too bad things happened the way they did. Him & guerrero were awesome !!
He was garbage in the WWE as well. Worked hard like Bret but was Intercontinental Champion at best. They gave him the title at Wrestlemania because he was owed it not because he was drawing. The problem is everybody can tell you about that win but they can't tell you anything about his title run. That's because other than his work ethic he was shit draw. Eddie was a real draw and could wrestle.
Who cares about drawing eddie and beniot are some of best wrestlers who deserved more then ic title .beniot eddie wrestlemania moment is my favourite. Fyi bret is bigger name and draw then eddie and Chris combined
@@packergeek10 Eddie didn't drew either, pal.
Never known this bud Sid seems to have a really high quality character...
both Sid and Lex Luger turned out to be solid people IRL
Sid..always was the consummate professional. He was a 5-Star guy. Much Love to Sid ❤️🙏🏾
Sid's line is always "an I didn't know this at the time" he's such a cool dude. He never got into the drama, he was a worker!
I don't think he hung out with the boys a lot. Sid was a pro.
I agree brother
It's a job just like any other job, and he was an amazing worker
Still seems like he could compete.
Sid was a beast when he and Goldberg had some great matches together he was awesome in that ring and didn't give up oh I miss the good old days
Sid Vicious comes across as a pretty classy guy.
Sid seems like a straight up guy. No thinking about what’s he gonna say. I can believe a guy like him.
The match Sid had with Benoit was a great match one of the best
Benoit got 1 short reign in wwe in 2004. Starting in 2000 with the win over Sid, Benoit would have done more in WCW. And could have put others over.
Scott Benoit was a great wrestler
I’m Big Poppa Wolverine...Howl if you hear me!!!!
@Aryan White That's right!
He and Scott Nash were an awesome tag-team!
I was waiting to see who would mention it
Atleast nancy McMahon didn't got choked by triple L
@@ShubhamMishrabro That bitch deserves it though.
If Sid did a 2 hr. talk with Joe Rogan or Valuetainment it would be so cool.
Even Sid Vicious knew Vince Russo wasn't doing a good job at WCW. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that way.
I think everybody thought that way. I think the only thing that everybody commends Vince Russo for is trash talking Hulk Hogan at Bash at the Beach in July 2000 after Hogan wanted to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship from Jeff Jarrett
Russo invented wrestling. Just ask him
@@michaelhunziker7287 LMBO 🤣
KingGemini87 And pitting the belt on Booker
"i'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that way"??? You're joking.
This guy is a great heel guys like the miz wish they were Sid vicious or Rick Rude
Rick rude and Sid are on another stratosphere than the weak Miz.
@Marc Spera I think it is time to start mentioning The Miz along with the greats. He takes a lot of shit from fans.
I, for one, made the miztake (😁) of thinking that he was only in wrestling for the money and platform to jump to something else. I was very wrong. He has been a consistent presence in the WWE. He is excellent on the mic. He is a safe worker. He has managed to stay relatively healthy for over a decade.
Give the man a break.
Miz is good for being a good heel that gets the face over, but not a star. He's more of an stepping stone for a mid card act. He's a hard worker and does the job, but he's definitely there pointing out how bad WWE roster really is when he is treated like the modern day Piper
He's the Miz, and He's GARBAGE!!!
@I_Am_The_Social_Reject Yeah im sick of Miz. He's done the same thing his whole career. I don't think it's possible for him to actually have a gimmick, because he's too stupid. He's a horrible actor. He's bored and played out. He's in no way at all a draw. Yet they release guys like Dolph, Elias, Boogs, Riddle. Ya know all the guys that wrestling talent and actual charisma to be liked.
Russo should never have been fired. He got all of three months to bail out a sinking ship and then he's out?
(For the record, ratings did slightly improve, which is about all you can do with how little time he had)
Meanwhile, Sullivan was one of the people at the helm when it started sinking in the first place.
I hope 'protecting their spots' was worth tanking the only viable competition the WWF has ever had.
WCW was kicking WWF Ass before Russo arrived. From what everyone indicates, Russo's booking is what threw WCW into the trash bin. It might have headed that direction anyways before he arrived, and Sullivan probably didnt help things because of the shit between himself and Benoit. Other shoots indicated storylines going all over the place, NWO became bloated and obsolete. Frankly, I agree with Cornette here. Russo is OK if you want a guy to give you suggestions and new ideas. But to book a PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING show, you have to have a Wrestling booker. The Story lines have to make sense. Not everything being a "Swerve bro" is good for storytelling, neither is just having a diva go out and expose her tits is "good for ratings". Sure it leads to a spike in ratings temporarily, but to keep the audience you have to tell a good story. Russo couldnt do that.
@@aetherbeast1023 I loved your comment! You seem like you have a good grasp of the wrestling business in a way that most other fans do not.
I always thought of Russo as a great "ideas" guy, but some of those ideas were outlandish and chaotic. You almost need someone above Russo to tell him 'no' or 'hell no' or 'are you crazy?'
Although watching his unfiltered creations is entertaining in a certain kind of way; its not unlike watching car wreckage. You don't really want to see it, but can't help but look anyway...
@@aetherbeast1023 WCW kicked ass until Vince McMahon put himself into the picture as the great heel against Stone Cold Steve Austin in the WWF who was the most guy in the industry at the time that put the Monday Night Wars into a stalemate in 1998 then later on in that year The Rock came along too then in 1999 onwards WCW couldn't match anything the WWF product had had.
I don't understand sid vicious
I loved watching the cruiserweights. I loved all the weight classes growing up and used all the wrestlers in No Mercy/Revenge video games. Now I come to find out that the "bigger guy" draw money. Must be some kind of cultural thing. IDK, I never cared about any of that as a kid. Sucks adults act more like children than children do sometimes.
in the end, Benoit drew more money than wcw entire ppv.
I remember back when I was 14yrs old I was pretty much taller then everyone else. Hell, I was 6ft 4 or 5 at the time. I remember Sid when he was Sid Vicious and me having to look up at him. I became a fan of his right then, plus he was super nice to me too. Great wrestler.
I keep staring at his hair and thinking...What a drama fest it would be if somehow, someway it turns out Kenny Omega is his long, lost son.
Possible
Sid was always one of favorites..
RIP Sid
Hall of Fame 2021
I like Sid's honest-to-bones approach. and, he is pretty much on the money with his opinions. He is right, about a lot of the other guys, Really respect this guy.
Sid was the best wrestler. It's so sad that many wrestler was jealous at him.
RIP brother
How is the Master & Ruler of the World not in the HOF!?!?!
RIP SID
Sid was one of the wrestlers me growing up as a kid was actually scared of! He was a mean mf! we he wrestled..
Why is Benoit dressed like that in the thumbnail for...?
Wondering that myself.
I don't remember him being in Misfits in Action.

"those smaller guys, they'll never be a big draw" says the guy who snapped his leg like a rubber band on TV doing a move best left to a "smaller guy". SMH.
He was told to jump of the turnbuckle as part of the match script by John laurinaitis.
@@lloydlyall8120 yeah it was a bad idea.
anyone here after the dark side of the ring episode about benoit ?
benoit was stupid for leaving he flushed huge $$$ down the toilet for more dates in wwe
Sid was awesome.
Sid is awesome
Benoit and Guerrero were not big draws. Phenomenal wrestlers top 10 OAT for sure but not big draws
Benoit I agree. Guerrero no. Guerrero had personality charisma and could outwork any of this big dudes. Guerreos mic skills were too notch. Wrestling ain't real even the dumbest fans know this. Wrestling is entertainment these big dudes can't entertain. Politics it's all politics. Nash and sid worse wwe champions ever. Wcw went down when they were hogging the belt. How are they big draws?
Because they were both shorter than 5"11 and weren't blonde haired, blue eyes.
Sid is a legend.
Now every time I see Sid, the image of his 90° shin pops into my head.
When did Sid ever get a reaction compared to Benoit from 2001-2005
Benoit thumbnail makes him look like a little kid.
Where was the part on why chris left after winning the belt???
Sorry but his comments about Benoit were wrong. The pop when Benoit won the world title in the wwe was huge.
I remember watching that PPV live. I was just as befuddled as Sid was with half a brain
I remember watching on one if these videos and reading in an article about the reason why Benoit won the belt and left the company literally hours later. Supposedly his contract was about to expire, literally the day after that PPV, and in his contract they had guaranteed him title run. So, in fear of being in breach of contract, WCW just out the belt in him real quick. It does make some sense, knowing how things were getting really screwed up in WCW at the time. Who knows how much of that is true?
@@joem.8277 Wow that actually makes a lot of sense if they did this for those reasons. I had a good feeling Benoit was going to win that night, me being a fan of the business for many years but didn't quite know the rationale behind it
@@KETO.n.WRESTLING sometimes you have to listen to several sides of the story, and piece it together like you said, from what "makes a lot of sense." You also learn to trust which guys are just crying and which ones are the straight shooters.
Can someone explain the thumbnail photo of Benoit in military uniform?
Maybe a photo from one oh the Tribute to the Troops.
For all of the comic book fans.... doesn't Sid looks like what we'd picture Magneto to look like in real life!?!!
Hell yeah
He'll no. He's closer to what I imagine Sabretooth looking like. 🤷🏻♂️
@@Jayce_Alexander Hmmmmm🤔.
@@Jayce_Alexander That's what I was thinking too...and happens to be my favorite X-Men character next to Gladiator [Kallark].
Sid Vicious is Sabertooth.
Sid rules
Well he was right about Benoit being a world champ. When he became one in WWE he never drew a dime while being champ. He never won another one after his 04 run.
How much did Nash, Swagger, Reigns, Mahal and stuff draw?
@@francescotonini6268 I study drawing power closely. Based on draw big houses (10,000+ fans or more), Nash drew big - very big during Monday Night Wars especially. Roman Reigns is fast becoming top 10 draw of all time with amount of Stadium shows he headlines - he's already around on top 15. Swagger and Mahal not draws whatsoever.
Benoit, Malenko, etc. were whining and crying because they never caught on.
A petition to replace your boss? Absolutely ridiculous. They all went to WWE and had similar results. Funny how Malenko, Jericho etc. tell the story like they somehow won. All of them ended up in WWF as jobbers or second fiddle. Jericho held the title for like 3 months altogether. What a joke.
Malenko, and Saturn, lost more than anyone not names Shane Douglass
Jericho not a joke . He headlined alot of ppv. He had three world title matches on wm . Two of which h3 was champ . He held world belt a aloy of times
Chris Benoit was mad because he was in the Guinness book of world records for being the world's tallest midget.
Lots of benoit crybabies in the comments. Sid was always more popular than benoit, sid was hogan level popular in 92 amd 96, a guy who never really stuck around long enough in any company yet still achieved the popularity within weeks that benoit had to cry for yrs to get anywhere close to , wcw writers were morons to have him lose to benoit especially when there was news benoit wanted to leave.and the little murderer didnt even have the decency to let them know hes leaving next week so they shouldnt give him the belt
Sid HOF !!
For what?
Edit: I guess if Donald Trump is in then why not Sid. Some members of their HOF are baffling and stupid and demeans it as a whole.
Sid the bitch
Love him or hate him Vince Russo came into WCW with a plan to put fresh faces over (Booker T). WCW needed to embrace that change but the older guys wouldn’t relinquish their spots. Also Russo didn’t know exactly how to approach a company like WCW because he blasted that company with gimmick match after gimmick match.
Schiavone has said Russo came in and was very organized which was a big change that was needed. Do you, as a fan, think he was on tv too much and his lack of editing from a boss hurt his tenure?
OG Troll Troll whose idea was it to push Jeff Jarrett?
Vince Russo Made WCW's Most Mistakes By Far In It's History. Early 90's WCW Get Little Criticisms, So Little Like One Or Two Bad Pay Per Views And Robocop Teaming With Sting. And A Chamber Of Hortors Match. Nothing Else. There Aren't Criticisms Of Their Top Stars/Storylines Ric Flair, Sting, Lex Luger, Sid Vicious, Ron Simmons, Ricky Steamboat, Vader And The Dangerous Alliance Top Guys-Arn Anderson, Larry Zbysko, Rick Rude & An Upper Midcarder Stunning Steve Austin And Big Van Vader. And Hulk Hogan Coming In 1994.
What year is this from? Talking like Benoit is still alive so pre 07.
This was shot about a month before everything went down
Sid youre an nice guy
Benoit drew more ratings, sold more merch, and knew how to speak unlike sid
WCW was the strangest company ever, and Sullivan should of been left alone he was fine. He was better than any of the other bookers in WCW during their boom period. WCW was awful at finishing off stories and their announcers were also awful. Tony Schiavone I forgot how bad he was. Their color guys sucked too.
Benoit in a helmet thats a oxymoron or a joke. Hidden innuendo by Vinnie Mac
Didnt kevin Sullivans best friend mike Graham threaten to slit Benoit's throat for stealing Nancy the reason wcw let benoit ourbof his contract
CAN YOU UPLOAD THIS FULL SHOOT INTERVIEW PLEASE SIR?? THIS LOOKS GOOD...
All wrestlers appeared better in WWF than WCW
Sid
Benoit
Jericho
Eddie
Sure Bret Hart
Scott hall
Diesel
Randy savage
Mr. Perfect
Rick Rude
Lex Luger
Some appeared better in WCW
Goldberg
Rey Mysterio
Sting
Vader
Most Of These Wrestlers Were Better/Tougher In WCW. All Of Them Were Tougher Or Bigger In WCW Except The Little People- Vanilla Midgets.
Had They Stayed In WCW & Gained Weight & Got Pushed. It Took Benoit, Jericho & Guerrero 4, 2 & 4 Years To Get To The Top. Rey Mysterio Was Still Vanilla Midget. It Was Always In WWE To Push Vanilla Midgets. Curt Hennig Wrestled More Big Names In WCW. Bret Hart Was Super Fighting NWO & Randy Savage Was Superman Taking On The New Blood. Hogan & Savage vs The Alliance To End Hulkmania. Rick Rude WCW Career Was Better. Lex Luger Was Way More Better In WCW. Scott Hall & Kevin Nash, It Kniwn They Were Bigger In WCW. Sid Was More Powerful In WCW As A Face & Heel. And I Don't Have To Mention Goldberg, Sting & Vader. Everyone Talks About WWE Mistreatment Of Them Or Not Treating Them Fully Great.
The Big Show Was Way Better In WCW. And Also Kevin Nash In WCW Took On 9 Guy By Himself, Him And Hogan Taking On 11 Members Of The New Blood. Razor Ramon Was A Midcarder Wrestling For The Intercontinental Championship. Diesel Was Not Ready To Be Top Guy & Hugely Draw, Not Until In June 1996 He And Hall.
Why didn't he bring the WCW title with him to WWF?
All these small guys will never break potential, look what Jericho, Guerrero and Benoit achieved compared to your career. I liked you but you need to chill on the haterade
Out of all of those guys only Jericho really was able to break the mold. Had Sid had his heart in wrestling, he would have blew those guys out of the water. Hell, when he was on top as Sid Justice and Psycho Sid was more over than those guys. You seem to have forgotten how low WWE got when Benoit and Guerrero were champs
Benoit Quit because he was threatened.
Benoit is the goat.
vicious should have rolled over all them tbh booking wise
Remember that time the undertaker made sid vicious shit his pants?!
People were wanting Russo back??
Only idiot fans think he did bad. Ratings and his history don't lie
@@I_Am_The_Social_Reject Peoplehave to understand, Russo is a tv writer. Not a wrestling writer. Kind of how vince mcmahon saw wrestling
@@theshakter Either way he's a key player and great asset. Just gotta know to also have someone who knows wrestling that can feed off him. Would be the biggest promotion ever
Not a big money Draw? Benoit had the look and in ring skills to get over. WCW could have lasted if the let a few fresh faces in the main event spots but instead WWE made Eddy Gurrero a household name.
I agree but, I believe Benoit was great in wwe also
He couldn’t draw flies to a bucket of shit
They weren't draws at that time. I wouldn't even say they drew in wwe to be honest
Eddie was a draw as WWE Champ but Benoit wasn’t. I remember the ratings dropped and they flipped it over to Orton that wasn’t mature enough at the time so HHH got the belt back until Batista was ready for that spot.
Hunter Boyd Eddie wasn’t a draw either as champion.
Sid is the exact opposite of his character
Sid looks well
Wwf should of used him better in the feud with Hogan. I think they could of had a pretty epic feud but for some reason WWE just didn't do it like that
I think part of it was because Hogan was complaining behind the scenes. Especially after the Royal Rumble Match.
Sid Vicious Was A WCW Guy-Well Known Name When Coming To WWE/He And Lex Luger Were Always Over . They Didn't Want A WCW Guy To Come In And Beat Their Biggest Star. They Only In 1996 Pushed Sid To The Top When Getting Destroyed By WCW.
''The smaller guys are no big money draw.''
But he can't even jump from the 2nd rope without breaking his ass. ^^
That doesn't change the fact they can't draw...
What does that have to do with being a draw ?
When was the shoot interview shot?
I disagree with Sid when he said Benoit was never going to be a big money draw. The fans, at this point, were very aware of how hard Chris worked and were very much behind him. This sounds like the old mentality of only the big guys are the ones that draw. Benoit, Guerrero, Mysterio and Jericho (to name a few) proved him wrong when they went to WWE where they were given a real chance to do so.
Shin Igami being over and drawing are two different balls of yarn, though.
Shin, I literally just typed this comment in, you beat me to it.
I agree.
Small guys can get all the yarn if utilized properly.
Shin Igami After the SmackDown Six, Mysterio just got injured every year.
Chris Benoit could have twisted Sid like a pretzel if he wanted to. Lol
you do realize that sid is 6 ft 9 and Benoit was 5ft something right ?
@@8512124 Mike Tyson and Fedor Emilianenko are also about 5'10"

But in a shoot fight 6ft9 300lbs plus against 5ft10 200lbs you do the math
@@maninwater5615 Tyson and Fedor were also fighting guys in their weight class LOL
@@maninwater5615 I agree but weight is still a factor and in this case its in Sid favor
We all know Sid isn't half the man that Kevin Nash is and he doesn't have half the brain that Nash has.
Yeah...NO
I still refuse to believe Chris did that to his family. Alot of his close friends and Eddy Guerrero said he would call them all the time n say he was being followed by someone. Chris was such an amazing talent in wrestling and is easily in my top 5 list of favorite wrestlers
Maybe he had some kind of brain injury that made him paranoid
Chris Benoit hated Sullivan
Funny thing Chris became a big money draw and behind closed doors is known as the best to ever lace them and that’s by almost all wrestlers out there.
Chris was NEVER a big money draw LOL. WTF are you talking about? His reign as champ was one of the worst lowest drawing reigns in the history of WWE
