Idk how many people know this but Chris Kanyon would go on to commit suicide in 2010. Hearing him talk about not wanting to be another statistic then falling farther down a whole and still passing away crushes me. R.I.P
I know the upcoming story on Dark Side of the Ring on Kanyon will be both sad and inspiring for those who are struggling not only with fear of being singled out for their sexuality, but with overcoming depression and thriving.
@@jaguar5198 I've seen the episode myself and it was hard to watch the fact that Kanyon's double life keeps him paranoid in some ways that he suffered from bipolar disorder and even lashes out on James Mitchell aka The Sinister Minister. And it's a good thing that Dark Side even added a message for everyone if those who they have friends who had suicidal thoughts, they can contact the Suicide Prevention Hotline. RIP Chris Kanyon
I saw in another episode that Nancy had called a few people and that she was talking about getting a divorce, and he fiqured the only way your leaving me is over your dead body
@@tinac5936 Unfortunately they probably had a very heated argument that day, things were said said Beniot snapped and acted in a horrendous and horrific manner but I don't think Beniot was acting with a full deck. No way he could do something like that without severe brain damage, use of roids and his emotions
Nancy tried calling her neighbour and also obtained the non emergency police number on the Friday evening, about 3-4 hours before her reported time of death. She knew something was seriously wrong with him.
She had threatened to divorce him a couple of times apparently, due to his prescription pill use and steroid intake. It's been said that he cut right down the first time. He obviously didn't stop totally though. It's definitely a huge possibility that she'd finally had enough, said that she was leaving him and taking their son with her and he wasn't taking that. So he killed her, killed his son as well, then himself as he had nothing else to live for and would have spent the rest of his life in prison.
21:25, pulling a shot gun to your partners face on more than one occassion is not violent because there were no shells?! Sorry Dynamite but that's one of the most fucked up things anyone could ever say or do PERIOD!
voilent definition = using or involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something well based on what he said he is correct. Pointing an unloaded gun at someone has no ability to hurt damage or kill. So it isn't voilent. Is it intimidation? Yes. Fear inducing? Yes. If the gun was used like a bat to strike the face would that be voilent? Absolutely. However what he said was true. PERIOD!
Violence doesn't necessarily have to include physical force. From Merriam-Webster dictionary: VIOLENT: notably forceful, furious, or vehement a violent argument a violent denunciation : EXTREME, INTENSE violent pain violent colors Getting angry and putting a shotgun to your partner's face is extreme, intense, forceful, furious, and vehement and therefore violent.
@@Cloudancer2024 so we literally have a scenario where there are 2 different standards of what violence is based on 2 different definitions of the word. 1 is violence is only violence if it results in physical damage the other expands it to include actions, words or even colours. So then it can easily be explained that the bulldogs interpretation of violent was based on what i read as well. He thinks its not violent because no physical harm was caused. Not saying either version is the correct one or even his actions are ok, but I can at least see where he was coming from when he said what he said.
@@devilwarr1or Then I hope you can also see where I was coming from when I wrote what I wrote. Pushing a gun in someone's face is an illegal violent act even if the gun is empty, and he could have been arrested and charged with assault and battery. His wife did the right thing by ending the marriage before his violence escalated even further.
@@Cloudancer2024 Exactly. Also, menacing and endangering the life of another one who didn't know the shotgun was unloaded, so yeah arguing semantics is exactly what we don't need to justify violent behaviors and or tendencies. A threat is a threat, and pointing that shotgun was not done out of friendship.
I hope his father finds peace🙏🏾and stops feeling responsible for his grown sons choices..he did what any real parent would do supporting your CHILDS DREAM i used to watch wrestling as a kid not realizing the dark side of the entertainment business
It's actually ironic with the Dynamite Kid because Harley Race invented the flying headbutt, and told everyone "don't do this because it fucks up your spine horribly, it gives you a hard time during an older age", Dynamite Kid took that from Race and ended up sitting in a wheelchair. Benoit took that from Dynamite Kid and ended up losing his mind. This is in fact true because due to case of concussions that were happening with wrestlers at that time, Benoit in a post-mortem investigation into his brain, it was confirmed by Christopher Nowinski that his brain is highly positive for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), it changed who you are, how you behave, and what you become.
@@txhellrazor4765 and retired shortly, then returned to in-ring action. That's because the industry nowadays has a priority to protect the athlete from concussions and head injuries which aren't addressed before, now it is a major topic with regards to mental health. And this also applies to other contact sports including football, MMA, hockey, and even boxing.

@@kellymcquay2626 dude you are so wrong on this it's not even funny.. Benoit was guilty of everything he did. From putting the drugs in himself and doing what he did to his family. Vince is not guilty of anything. Chris could've easily quit and done something else. I'm sorry but you can't blame Vince for anything.

@@tylerstadt8719 That's Chris Benoit vs Booker T in 2005. They were feuding for the US title in a 7 match series and that move is from one of their matches on smackdown. I remember this clearly from when i was a kid.
@@mrkipling2201 but people say wrestling is fake and they seem to think since it's fake that they can't get injured lol like all of a sudden the laws of physics don't apply because it isn't a legitimate sport.
@@beardedentity agree but how do we know he couldn't control what he was doing we don't and will never know the truth my opinion wwe are mainly responsible for treating Benoit like an animal at the circus and not looked after him yes other factors played a role but wwe not looking after Chris and his concussions is reason why Chris and many other wrestlers are dead quicker wwe goes in it's grave everyone will be better off
Pro Wrestling has never been the same since 2007. It has never recovered from the Benoit tragedy. The hype, attraction and overall allure just is not there anymore.
Imagine starting a job and your boss ritualistically and systematically drove you insane by forcing you to do the job without education, support and routine third party medical checkups. This man was driven to homicidal insanity through physical and mental torture and Vince has the audacity to call him a monster. In no way is Benoit without blame here but it’s naive to look at the situation without taking into account the context and history that led to it
So you’re blaming Vince for signing him to a full-time wrestling contract, and having him wrestle 3 times a week. He took those painkillers and the roids, but it wasn’t like the drugs were under vinces paycheck. He could have simply asked to take a break or going to therapy to deal with his situations. But no people blame Vince because he didn’t know about benoits problems and giving Benoit a good paycheck and letting him do whatever he wants with money. Give me a break.
@@CarmeloHIM No. He's saying that Vince is part of the problem (which he is). He pushed the drugs on to his employees. America's entertainment and sports industry is poorly moderated.
He was wrestling long before he started working for Vince. I know people hate Vince but this wasn’t his fault. Chris made the choices that he made. Vince didn’t force him to do anything.
Ultimately the action falls on the perpetrator. McMahon has some culpability in the drug addictions however. I wonder if he has a conscience about this, I don't think he is a monster, but Vince is covering up his mistakes.
Could vkm b covering up the fact that CB was going to court cause of the loopholes in wwes wellness policys. I read that court thing somewhere online back then
Looked up to Benoit when I was a kid, I wanted to be him Small statured man amongst giants and he was a powerhouse nonetheless, saw him at backlash 2004 in his home town of Edmonton, he beat hhh and hbk for the title. They even made a day in his honor It was so inspiring And that's how I'll always see him, as this source of inspiration
I remember watching another documentary of Chris saying that when Chavo was on the phone with Chris he heard scuffling at the door when Chris opened it
Benoit literally treated his head like a weapon...and thats what im saying when im watching the wwe days...later will watch from 86 to 2001...rest in peace Chris
When someone murders their whole family it's hard for me to say RIP to the killer. They didn't end life peacefully nor to their victims. RIP is a saying that doesn't apply to all.
I totally get it. However he is a victim in his own right. So many head injuries. I'm not saying don't blame him. Blame him. But I do believe he never would have had his head been right.
Me too I feel sorry for the brain damage, but I don’t feel sorry for his death. His family is another story. He could’ve ended all the pain by just taking himself out. I think it takes a little bit of evil to decide you want to kill your whole family with you.
"How would we know that he would turn into a monster?" - uhhh, what about talk with him, talk with his doctors that knew about his brain problems, what about the lot of people who said they knew that Eddies death hit him hard, what about the clip where he cried like a child about Eddies death, sry but they were enough signs that he needed help
Vince is a busy man he can’t just talk to his whole roster and examine them to see if they were depressed or just not okay. Benoit could have just asked for a break or to go to therapy but it has to be vinces fault because Benoit had a numb expression. You can’t blame vince, blame the drugs and the doctors
Do you really think Chris would ever admit to having issues though? He wouldn’t jeopardize his career by telling someone what he was going through. It’s not Vince’s job to talk to his doctor. That was Chris’ responsibility. Even Nancy could have helped him with health issues. He needed someone to advocate for him. I’m sure this whole situation genuinely shocked Vince as well as everyone else. I have sympathy for what he went through but people need to stop acting like Vince was his dad.
I'm not a fan of Vince McMahon, far from it, but I think he was unfairly accused in regards to the steroid trial. People seemed to have forgotten that steroids were legal in America until 1991. So a lot of the accusations didn't hold up, because whatever happened in regards to steroids and Vince, most of what was said happened when they were legal.
I hope his father and all involved are doing okay. Still to this day it's really hard to wrap my head around the fact he did this to his family especially the little boy.
If the wwe wrestlers were all natural then there wouldn’t be a wwe.And what the critics don’t realize is you can’t put ur body through what the wrestlers put their bodies through night after night for 30 years like hogan cena wrestlers of that caliber without it.Because their is no way the body could handle it..
When someone who has everything throws it all away, you have to wonder what went wrong in their life. Fame, fortune, beautiful family, but he ended it all.
I don’t see the issue with “roids”, practically everyone competing at high level strong man comps is on PEDs - it’s their choice and their lives and nowadays there is a better understanding on how to use them properly, however, wrestlers don’t use them properly, that and the extreme lifestyles mixed with the substance abuse
Don’t blame McMahon! Those wrestlers were big boys. They knew the chances. His payment for addicts, past and present is remarkable and should be commended.
@@kellymcquay2626 Even after the Benoit tragedy, he doesn’t have to pay for addicts, former employees and present, and support their attempts. CB was an adult and you certainly can’t blame VM for his decisions to murder his family! That’s just ridiculous. People are just jealous of the McMahon and want to take him down. He’s a self made man and they’re a different breed.
@@kdfulton3152 he does have a responsibility to the well being of his wrestlers, not long before the tragedy Chris passed the drug test, but when the results of the autopsy came back it showed he had a dangerous amount of testosterone and other drugs in his system, so how could he have passed a drug test, you want to paint McMahon as a victim but all he cares about is making a profit no matter who it hurts or kills, and the cruelest example of that is what happened to Owen Hart, he falls to his death because of what McMahon made him do and then he just went on with the show like it never happened, you call him a self made man I call him an evil low life POS
How can you not blame McMahon ? It was HIS company It was his fault for not investigating just as much as it was the wrestlers fault for taking the roids
R.I.P. Tom "Dynamite Kid" Billington. Everyone watch the DVD "The Dynamite Kid: A Matter of Pride," and "Dark Side of the Ring: The Dynamite Kid. Tom Billington didn't have anything to do with Chris Benoit's actions. In fact, now Dynamite Kid's wife voices that Tom Billington was also a possible victim of CTE.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Dont compare Creepy Joe to either of those 2.... Joe is an overachiever... Donald and Vince are cut from a different cloth. Both those guys were born to be bosses.... Joe is a weakling in comparison.. His track record speaks for itself
Had Vince McMahon been doing his job and testing these wrestlers for steroid use none of this would have happened Vince McMahon is the blame he knew all about the steroid use
@@ThePsmith1985 bro ong they try to make Chris look innocent . It’s called free will he choose to do everything he did no one forced him he did it on his own
Wait a minute, Miss Elizabeth didn’t die of steroids. A lot on that list did not die if steroids. A lot died because of car wrecks, age, cancer, heart attacks
No. Elizabeth died as a result of abuses & combination of prescription pain pills and alcohol. Likely cocaine was involved…just can’t remember the exact autopsy findings on that.
What happened to the drug money? Benoit's doctor "Dr Austell" was prescribing Chris Benoit a year's worth of steroids testosterone and painkillers every month for nine years. That's nine years of prescription drugs.
Everyone keeps saying Vince is awful person. But these are the same people who continue to tune in every week, buy his merchandise, amd keeps putting money into his pocket
Chris Benoit was not the type of person that would kill his family and commit suicide but it wasn’t his fault it’s because he had suffered from multiple concussions and multiple chair shots to the head
I understand that some people doesn’t feel sorry or have empathy for Chris Benoit. But at the same time what some of you people have to realize is that back in day in the 90’s and early 00’s this man was doing some crazy shit and putting his body on the line just to entertain us and put food on the table for his family. That’s RESPECT!! Yeah, y’all right Chris should have retired when he broke his neck back 2001 during his TLC match but the only reason he didn’t was because wrestling was something that he loved and enjoyed. Throughout the years Chris loved to entertain us and it really was hard for him to give that all away. Yeah, y’all right some wrestlers abuse steroids to get big and have big muscles but the other wrestlers turned to steroids and abuse substances due to amount of pain that they were in throughout the years. Also some of you guys saying “Omg, Chris Benoit was being dramatic when Eddie died. “ Mental Illness is not a big deal.. No, Chris wasn’t being dramatic this was somebody that he was close to and did everything with. When we were all kids back in the day watching all of these wrestlers on tv growing up. We all admired and liked how they kept us entertained throughout the years and that they don’t mess up, they have lots of money in their bank accounts and they are living their best life. But behind close doors these wrestlers were battling and fighting their demons just like us and like our parents. They stressed out on bills, marriage, getting fired or released from their jobs or being homeless and when we were kids growing up we didn’t realize or understand until every wrestler explain and told their story. So behind closed doors we don’t know if There were a point of time, When Chris tried to end his life and Eddie saved him we don’t know. When Eddie died two parts of Chris had died Mentally and Emotionally. As I said at the beginning some of you people were saying that mental illness wasn’t a problem or big deal. Mental illness is a big deal and something serious. I feel right after when Eddie died, WWE still should have pushed Chris to take some time off and seek for therapy/professional help before it was too late. I am not blaming WWE at all but I wish that they would have payed closer attention to Chris and his well being. Again, I’m not saying what Chris did to his family was right not saying that all. But understand Chris was really ill and needed help. Way deep down Chris didn’t want to kill or hurt his family.. and it wasn’t like that Chris was Insane Psycho that’s been plotting and planning. It wasn’t that, he was just a ill human being that needed guidance and professional help with his mental illness and all the grieving that he was experiencing. Chris, even though that you made a terrible mistake.. we still love and miss you so much. We wish you were still here RIP🤍☁️🙏
You are of course right they chose to take them,the harsh reality of wrestling is over 250 shows a year and if you want to be on top you have to wrestle injured that is why they take them and the steroids.they chose to take them but that is why,it is a cut throat industry that needs to change.I doubt it will though as to get to the top you have to do the small shows for little money.
@@toofaraheadofu7928 yeah i hate how a lot of people are oversimplifying the situation. Yes what chris and other wrestlers did was horrible but you don't just wake up one day and decide to take drugs or commit murder/suicide
@Dionysus wtf what? My Comparison to Manson and Trump too far? Both cult leaders followed by psychotic idiotic people! The only difference is one killed more people, wanna guess which one?
If Chris Benoit was a monster, what does that make Vince McMahon? Dr. Frankenstein. Chris Kanyon talking about he would have been another statistic knowing what his fate was if he took his life
I wish he never died. He was so good and put his body on the line everyday literally. I don’t care. What he did was wrong but he’s innocent because he wasn’t himself. His brain was so fucked up from all the stunts he did for the fans. He LOVED wrestling with his whole life Think what you want but that weekend doesn’t change his legasy. It wasn’t him. He would never do it in a clear state of mind. I wish it never happened. And yes if he was supposed to die in May 2008 then so be it. But then he wouldn’t be erased from history which I think if he was alive he would be heartbroken. I want to play him in every WWE game ( after SVR 2007 ). It’s not the same to play him as a CAW from Community Creations. RIP Chris Benoit ( 1967 - 2007 )
I’m not exactly a pro wrestler but it doesn’t take us to Hart to realize that dedication is one thing but if you let it that Business can and will Chew you up and spit you out whole
No one is perfect. Including myself. But there is a special place in Hell for Vince. Shane Stephanie an hhh are right behind him. They'll have there own wing there. They wanted it now they have it. Hell is for them.
You don't think football players, boxers, and MMA guys don't suffer similar fates? Vince never made him step into that ring/choose that profession. Chris knew the risks to be at the top of the mountain. Pain killers, multiple concussions, steroids, recreational drugs etc...
It is so sad! What can we conclude except keep away from drugs be honest but also leave the innocents in peace don t involve them in your insanity POOR MRS BENOIT POOR LITTLE BOY.
Nothing wrong with following your dreams, but, to sell out to achieve it by using drugs and steroids is not the same as living your dream. It's totally messed up if you cheat yourself to get there.

Dude killed his wife and little son.. If that is your definition of kind, you are f*cked, dude.. Aduila.. Kahkahkah
@@beardedentity agree but how do we know he couldn't control what he was doing we don't and will never know the truth my opinion wwe are mainly responsible for treating Benoit like an animal at the circus and not looked after him yes other factors played a role but wwe not looking after Chris and his concussions is reason why Chris and many other wrestlers are dead quicker wwe goes in it's grave everyone will be better off
9:51 thats so obviously Hulk Hogan they could of atleast tried change his voice or something😂
Lol!
Shhh...It's a secret ! 🤣
Thanks bro now I know who's next
I was thinking Scott Hall possibly
@@BlackoutPatriot Maybe if it was about Alcohol, not roids.
Always remembered WCW being performed outside 😎. Class man growing up thru the 90s and turn of the century 👍🏼
Pro Wrestling has never been the same since 2007. It has never recovered from the Benoit tragedy. The hype, attraction and overall allure just is not there anymore.
Imagine starting a job and your boss ritualistically and systematically drove you insane by forcing you to do the job without education, support and routine third party medical checkups. This man was driven to homicidal insanity through physical and mental torture and Vince has the audacity to call him a monster. In no way is Benoit without blame here but it’s naive to look at the situation without taking into account the context and history that led to it
So you’re blaming Vince for signing him to a full-time wrestling contract, and having him wrestle 3 times a week. He took those painkillers and the roids, but it wasn’t like the drugs were under vinces paycheck. He could have simply asked to take a break or going to therapy to deal with his situations. But no people blame Vince because he didn’t know about benoits problems and giving Benoit a good paycheck and letting him do whatever he wants with money. Give me a break.
@@CarmeloHIM No. He's saying that Vince is part of the problem (which he is). He pushed the drugs on to his employees. America's entertainment and sports industry is poorly moderated.
He was wrestling long before he started working for Vince. I know people hate Vince but this wasn’t his fault. Chris made the choices that he made. Vince didn’t force him to do anything.
Ultimately the action falls on the perpetrator. McMahon has some culpability in the drug addictions however. I wonder if he has a conscience about this, I don't think he is a monster, but Vince is covering up his mistakes.
Could vkm b covering up the fact that CB was going to court cause of the loopholes in wwes wellness policys. I read that court thing somewhere online back then
No, you can’t blame Vince.
@@jamalparks2413 sorry, what?
@@jamalparks2413 isnt vince thr CotB? He makes the rules and shit right? How can u not blame him ?
Shit Vince is still on steroids. No way a 70 year old can have a body like he does.
Looked up to Benoit when I was a kid, I wanted to be him
Small statured man amongst giants and he was a powerhouse nonetheless, saw him at backlash 2004 in his home town of Edmonton, he beat hhh and hbk for the title. They even made a day in his honor
It was so inspiring
And that's how I'll always see him, as this source of inspiration
I remember watching another documentary of Chris saying that when Chavo was on the phone with Chris he heard scuffling at the door when Chris opened it
Wats the name?
@@himahosni9440 Dark Side of the Ring, it’s a Vice Documentary
@@jaysmith7866 thanks
Some one killed him.
Does anyone know who did it?
Chris benoit was one of my favorite wrestlers
Uuuuuiuiuuiuuuiuuuuuuuuuuuiuiuuuiui h ok KU hi GB hh uh
Benoit literally treated his head like a weapon...and thats what im saying when im watching the wwe days...later will watch from 86 to 2001...rest in peace Chris
When someone murders their whole family it's hard for me to say RIP to the killer. They didn't end life peacefully nor to their victims. RIP is a saying that doesn't apply to all.
I totally get it. However he is a victim in his own right. So many head injuries. I'm not saying don't blame him. Blame him. But I do believe he never would have had his head been right.
Me too I feel sorry for the brain damage, but I don’t feel sorry for his death. His family is another story. He could’ve ended all the pain by just taking himself out. I think it takes a little bit of evil to decide you want to kill your whole family with you.
"How would we know that he would turn into a monster?" - uhhh, what about talk with him, talk with his doctors that knew about his brain problems, what about the lot of people who said they knew that Eddies death hit him hard, what about the clip where he cried like a child about Eddies death, sry but they were enough signs that he needed help
Vince is a busy man he can’t just talk to his whole roster and examine them to see if they were depressed or just not okay. Benoit could have just asked for a break or to go to therapy but it has to be vinces fault because Benoit had a numb expression. You can’t blame vince, blame the drugs and the doctors
Do you really think Chris would ever admit to having issues though? He wouldn’t jeopardize his career by telling someone what he was going through. It’s not Vince’s job to talk to his doctor. That was Chris’ responsibility. Even Nancy could have helped him with health issues. He needed someone to advocate for him. I’m sure this whole situation genuinely shocked Vince as well as everyone else. I have sympathy for what he went through but people need to stop acting like Vince was his dad.
Respect for hulk Hogan he got the balls to stand against Vince McMahon
The 1994 Federal government case against Vince McMahon was technically a HUGE WIN for Eric Bischoff (WCW).
I'm not a fan of Vince McMahon, far from it, but I think he was unfairly accused in regards to the steroid trial. People seemed to have forgotten that steroids were legal in America until 1991. So a lot of the accusations didn't hold up, because whatever happened in regards to steroids and Vince, most of what was said happened when they were legal.
I hope his father and all involved are doing okay. Still to this day it's really hard to wrap my head around the fact he did this to his family especially the little boy.
It’s sad Chris chanon died a few years later
I used to love Chris Benoit when I was young but was so disgusted by what he did I cant get to feel any compassion for him whatsoever
That’s Hulk Hogan talking in disguise
😊
If the wwe wrestlers were all natural then there wouldn’t be a wwe.And what the critics don’t realize is you can’t put ur body through what the wrestlers put their bodies through night after night for 30 years like hogan cena wrestlers of that caliber without it.Because their is no way the body could handle it..
When someone who has everything throws it all away, you have to wonder what went wrong in their life. Fame, fortune, beautiful family, but he ended it all.
I wouldn't say everything... family could be stress and he had to work hard
CTE apparently changed the dude
Sounds like a chris watts to me
I don’t see the issue with “roids”, practically everyone competing at high level strong man comps is on PEDs - it’s their choice and their lives and nowadays there is a better understanding on how to use them properly, however, wrestlers don’t use them properly, that and the extreme lifestyles mixed with the substance abuse
Cena "I'm not saying I haven't but you will never be able to prove that I did" lol wtf
He saying right there he took them
I was never a fan of Chris Benoit but this still very sad . Imagine how his fans feel and the families and friends. So unfortunate. Get help guys
As a Benoit fan, I feel so divided where I enjoyed his work but hated what he did in his final days.
@@Shawn6751clearly blacked out of his mind.
there is no fixing CTE
Mr McMahon calling someone a monster when he’s the definition of one 😂
Don’t blame McMahon! Those wrestlers were big boys. They knew the chances. His payment for addicts, past and present is remarkable and should be commended.
And all that happened AFTER the Benoit tragedy, McMahon is to blame for the way he mistreated his wrestlers
@@kellymcquay2626 Even after the Benoit tragedy, he doesn’t have to pay for addicts, former employees and present, and support their attempts. CB was an adult and you certainly can’t blame VM for his decisions to murder his family! That’s just ridiculous. People are just jealous of the McMahon and want to take him down. He’s a self made man and they’re a different breed.
@@kdfulton3152 he does have a responsibility to the well being of his wrestlers, not long before the tragedy Chris passed the drug test, but when the results of the autopsy came back it showed he had a dangerous amount of testosterone and other drugs in his system, so how could he have passed a drug test, you want to paint McMahon as a victim but all he cares about is making a profit no matter who it hurts or kills, and the cruelest example of that is what happened to Owen Hart, he falls to his death because of what McMahon made him do and then he just went on with the show like it never happened, you call him a self made man I call him an evil low life POS
But he want tht... They will do... For payment
How can you not blame McMahon ?
It was HIS company
It was his fault for not investigating just as much as it was the wrestlers fault for taking the roids
R.I.P. Tom "Dynamite Kid" Billington. Everyone watch the DVD "The Dynamite Kid: A Matter of Pride," and "Dark Side of the Ring: The Dynamite Kid. Tom Billington didn't have anything to do with Chris Benoit's actions. In fact, now Dynamite Kid's wife voices that Tom Billington was also a possible victim of CTE.
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Vince looks and acts like the secret child of Donald Trump and Joe Biden...
Dont compare Creepy Joe to either of those 2.... Joe is an overachiever... Donald and Vince are cut from a different cloth. Both those guys were born to be bosses.... Joe is a weakling in comparison.. His track record speaks for itself
@@SilverWealth_Draper_Mint your 100% right
Rip Chris benoit and Chris canyon
Had Vince McMahon been doing his job and testing these wrestlers for steroid use none of this would have happened Vince McMahon is the blame he knew all about the steroid use
Chris Benoit chose to do this! He suffocated his family wtf
@@ThePsmith1985 bro ong they try to make Chris look innocent . It’s called free will he choose to do everything he did no one forced him he did it on his own
@@jardellcleveland8376 exactly! He did that. Awful it’s absolutely disrespectful to his victims to even try to defend him!!!
@@ThePsmith1985 Yeaa but people feel sorry for Chris it’s stupid
Wwe doesnt lookout for there wrestlers
They should look out for themselves...stop blaming others
why they are so many people talking about chris now I be seeing videos from a week ago 3 or 4 days ago like .......
Maybe cause ppl wanna remember what the narrative was/is plus remembering him these days cause wwe sucks like late 2000 stage wcw
He was not a monster. Stop calling him that
This documentary is a lot different than I remember watching lol
Bodies, built in a pharmacy.
Not quite
Benoit documentary...thumbnail is Dynamite Kid and family...makes sense LOL
R.I.P. Nancy and Daniel.
Dynamite kid and chris benoit both the best my favorites
Chris Jericho is one of the most intelligent and sensible blokes in wrestling in my opinion. One of the good guys.
Sad part of this documentary is Chris Canyon did indeed eventually kill himself.
We love you Benoit ! And Kanyon , RIP my dudes
No. EVERYONE DOESN’T LOVE THE MURDERER!!!
Brain concussion was scientific fact after the medical profession were allowed to study his brain for his autopsy.
One of the greatest wrestlers
Wait a minute, Miss Elizabeth didn’t die of steroids. A lot on that list did not die if steroids. A lot died because of car wrecks, age, cancer, heart attacks
No. Elizabeth died as a result of abuses & combination of prescription pain pills and alcohol. Likely cocaine was involved…just can’t remember the exact autopsy findings on that.
What happened to the drug money? Benoit's doctor "Dr Austell" was prescribing Chris Benoit a year's worth of steroids testosterone and painkillers every month for nine years. That's nine years of prescription drugs.
Everyone keeps saying Vince is awful person. But these are the same people who continue to tune in every week, buy his merchandise, amd keeps putting money into his pocket
Chris Benoit was not the type of person that would kill his family and commit suicide but it wasn’t his fault it’s because he had suffered from multiple concussions and multiple chair shots to the head
Keep telling yourself that. Denial and excuses is not going to bring him back.
I understand that some people doesn’t feel sorry or have empathy for Chris Benoit. But at the same time what some of you people have to realize is that back in day in the 90’s and early 00’s this man was doing some crazy shit and putting his body on the line just to entertain us and put food on the table for his family. That’s RESPECT!! Yeah, y’all right Chris should have retired when he broke his neck back 2001 during his TLC match but the only reason he didn’t was because wrestling was something that he loved and enjoyed. Throughout the years Chris loved to entertain us and it really was hard for him to give that all away. Yeah, y’all right some wrestlers abuse steroids to get big and have big muscles but the other wrestlers turned to steroids and abuse substances due to amount of pain that they were in throughout the years. Also some of you guys saying “Omg, Chris Benoit was being dramatic when Eddie died. “ Mental Illness is not a big deal.. No, Chris wasn’t being dramatic this was somebody that he was close to and did everything with. When we were all kids back in the day watching all of these wrestlers on tv growing up. We all admired and liked how they kept us entertained throughout the years and that they don’t mess up, they have lots of money in their bank accounts and they are living their best life. But behind close doors these wrestlers were battling and fighting their demons just like us and like our parents. They stressed out on bills, marriage, getting fired or released from their jobs or being homeless and when we were kids growing up we didn’t realize or understand until every wrestler explain and told their story. So behind closed doors we don’t know if There were a point of time, When Chris tried to end his life and Eddie saved him we don’t know. When Eddie died two parts of Chris had died Mentally and Emotionally. As I said at the beginning some of you people were saying that mental illness wasn’t a problem or big deal. Mental illness is a big deal and something serious. I feel right after when Eddie died, WWE still should have pushed Chris to take some time off and seek for therapy/professional help before it was too late. I am not blaming WWE at all but I wish that they would have payed closer attention to Chris and his well being. Again, I’m not saying what Chris did to his family was right not saying that all. But understand Chris was really ill and needed help. Way deep down Chris didn’t want to kill or hurt his family.. and it wasn’t like that Chris was Insane Psycho that’s been plotting and planning. It wasn’t that, he was just a ill human being that needed guidance and professional help with his mental illness and all the grieving that he was experiencing. Chris, even though that you made a terrible mistake.. we still love and miss you so much. We wish you were still here RIP🤍☁️🙏
Appreciate the effort
I thought this was a Chris Benoit documentary lol
Has anybody seen the movie "concussion"? I think that explains a lot of sportsman suicides and what happens to Chris Benoit
It’s not Benoits parents fault
Funny they called it fake wrestling and then pretty much blamed it for the reason of the tragedy, what happened to the fakeness?
“Fake” only eludes to scripted endings and the like. The pain as well as the athleticism are real…and intense.
Why is the thumbnail of this video a picture of the Dynamite Kid and his family, not the Benoit family photo?
They all made their own choice nobody made them do the drugs, oh well, too bad
Well you know what they say you make your bed now you sleep in it end of story.
You are of course right they chose to take them,the harsh reality of wrestling is over 250 shows a year and if you want to be on top you have to wrestle injured that is why they take them and the steroids.they chose to take them but that is why,it is a cut throat industry that needs to change.I doubt it will though as to get to the top you have to do the small shows for little money.
It's not that simple for everybody
@@toofaraheadofu7928 yeah i hate how a lot of people are oversimplifying the situation. Yes what chris and other wrestlers did was horrible but you don't just wake up one day and decide to take drugs or commit murder/suicide
Vince is like a smarter version of Trump 🤷🏼♀️
@Dionysus Yea he WAS. But what's your point?
@Dionysus And Charles Manson was a cult leader so.... What's your point?
@Dionysus wtf what? My Comparison to Manson and Trump too far? Both cult leaders followed by psychotic idiotic people! The only difference is one killed more people, wanna guess which one?
And alot more evil
If Chris Benoit was a monster, what does that make Vince McMahon? Dr. Frankenstein. Chris Kanyon talking about he would have been another statistic knowing what his fate was if he took his life
Jhon cena be like I'm not going say I took steroids come on are you a comedian or a wrestler 😂
I wish he never died. He was so good and put his body on the line everyday literally. I don’t care. What he did was wrong but he’s innocent because he wasn’t himself. His brain was so fucked up from all the stunts he did for the fans. He LOVED wrestling with his whole life
Think what you want but that weekend doesn’t change his legasy. It wasn’t him. He would never do it in a clear state of mind.
I wish it never happened. And yes if he was supposed to die in May 2008 then so be it. But then he wouldn’t be erased from history which I think if he was alive he would be heartbroken. I want to play him in every WWE game ( after SVR 2007 ). It’s not the same to play him as a CAW from Community Creations.
RIP Chris Benoit ( 1967 - 2007 )
Exactly I wanted to play as Benoit in svr 2008 and the rest of the games
That Chris Kanyon part didn’t age well. Sad
He labeled him as a monster... What the hell
Well.. That's what we call a man who killed any human being.. Let alone his wife and child.
Yeah he killed his wife n son. What a legacy to leave behind.
He killed his family what you on about??
RIP Chris, Nancy and Daniel
Hulk Hogans really name is hulk Hogan not Terry
I’m not exactly a pro wrestler but it doesn’t take us to Hart to realize that dedication is one thing but if you let it that Business can and will Chew you up and spit you out whole
Hearing Chris Kanyon talk about it and now he’s gone and has is own dark side. Wow. So sad
Rest In Peace Christopher Benoit, Nancy Benoit and Daniel Benoit, I hope god forgives Chris for the sun he didn’t intent to do
The Heel turn was very hard by Benoit.
Sad seeing Kanyon too knowing what happened to him.,
I knew that Harry & Georgia Smith kept in touch with Tommy Dynamite Kid Billington !
RIP Del Wilkes
Did Linda say a word during the interview? Why was she there? 😂😂
No one is perfect. Including myself. But there is a special place in Hell for Vince. Shane Stephanie an hhh are right behind him. They'll have there own wing there. They wanted it now they have it. Hell is for them.
Agreed!
You don't think football players, boxers, and MMA guys don't suffer similar fates? Vince never made him step into that ring/choose that profession. Chris knew the risks to be at the top of the mountain. Pain killers, multiple concussions, steroids, recreational drugs etc...
@@brocklanders3616 Thank you I'm sick of people always wanting to blame someone else for 'their' problems.
How the hell is Vince a devil if he’s just paying his stars and trying to make more profit?.
The unknown person sounds familiar
XPAC
It is so sad! What can we conclude except keep away from drugs be honest but also leave the innocents in peace don t involve them in your insanity POOR MRS BENOIT POOR LITTLE BOY.
if the WWE had a proper drug testing program there would not be a WWE organisation.
Nothing wrong with following your dreams, but, to sell out to achieve it by using drugs and steroids is not the same as living your dream. It's totally messed up if you cheat yourself to get there.
Feel bad for his and her parents. He was in desperate need of help. So tragic he thought it was ok to take his Son and wife's life.
I don't care what anybody say, my ex did not do anything.
This is given me the creeps...
I wish I’d never seen or met some of these guys. It’s saddens me . Never forget talking to undertaker
That guy talking is so edge
