Whats crazy about this video to me.. The calm phone calls back and forth, dogs barking, cops and neighbours slowly assembling to get near the house and check in, meanwhile in the house, its complete silence and 3 people including a child are deceased. The fact that Benoit did it over a weekend, and that he basically slept 2 nights in the same house as his dead family before doing himself.. i lost sleep thinking about it at the time the details first came out I grew up watching Chris Benoits career, and now at 33 i still cant wrap my head around what he did
Im 33 now, and i now know and can easily wrap my head around it... He misunderstood the message man smh.. may he dwell in peace. He though he was doing a good thing
@@arhamdad4788 Either it was the all the damage and holes in his brain that lead him to no longer be himself at all, or someone else did it. Really only 2 options I can see.
People still believe he killed his family... I bet you didn't know about his 45 minute phone call with him and Chavo and that he mentioned someone was at his door knocking...And people wonder why there was no forced entry he literally let his killer inside his home.
wats weird bout Dennis Fagan is there is no known records of Dennis Fagan working for the NYPD. lastly why was he implying that Chris was a religious gentlemen? those that new him best knew Chris was not religious at all in fact it was Guerrero that got Benoit curious bout it. I don't get how Chavo would be the 1 that knew Holly was good with the dogs meanwhile these 2 dingus McGee's playin phone tag askin for a gatecode being scared of a couple of dogs. call the pound or heck use a restraining wand if they show aggression. a lot of this seems off.
What's way disturbing is the fact that most of us (me and my dad where at that ppv) where waiting to see him at Vengance and fight against Cm punk while all of this was happening.
Hearing Chavos telling of this, the text he received, then hearing this man repeat the text verbatim,is heartbreaking. Not excusing the crime committed, but R.I.P. Benoit Family.
I’m not gonna lie. I actually just played Smackdown vs Raw 07 a few weeks ago on my PS2 (heavy nostalgia, I love playing old games). And Undertaker literally did exactly this. It was weird because in Season Mode, Teddy Long left a voicemail to your superstar saying “Nobody has seen Benoit all weekend! We don’t know where he’s at!” 🥴🥴🥴 crazy to think about.
not only that but they threw that suicidal ass song “forgive me” on the soundtrack, i never thought much about it but it seemed like benoit had killing himself premediated for the year 07 regardless with the way everything lined up.
There was also a SD vs. RAW game where one of Undertakers storylines had him place Eddie Guerrero in a casket and gave a long eulogy for him. Im pretty sure this game came ouy shortly before Eddies tragic passing as well. Weird.
If you watch the CM Punk match at Vengeance 2007 (41 minutes in) you can hear the crowd chant "We want Benoit." It's so surreal, by that point people still had no clue what had happened. You can even hear Benoits replacement, Johnny Nitro respond to the crowd by saying "You got Johnny Nitro!" on the second round of chants.
Just knowing what the police would find inside the house is heartbreaking! It has to be very hard for officers to witness such things. Props and thanks to all of the good officers out there, who keep us safe!
@@seheadhunter50 are tone deaf?! You’re not an officer or an investigator. You weren’t there. Where is your evidence? Stop defending your lover Chris Benoit. The guy wasn’t a 100% innocent angel before this tragedy took place. He had domestic abused Nancy years before and was known to have a demeanor.
It's horrible to think that they were all inside the house for hours on end while the dogs had somehow got loose and were stopping the police from finding them. I couldn't imagine what those officers were feeling once they got in the house and found them.
@@Randy.lorenzo is this misinfo i never remember the story being the dogs were loose and preventing entry. Didnt Chavo get a text about where he had locked the dogs up? And didnt the neighbour know the Benoits enough that the dogs were friendly with her? Have I woke up in another Universe?
@@xPadge112xDark Side of the Ring did a great job covering this, although timelines (including details like this) are typically cleaned up due to time constraints. Obviously, based on these calls, it's totally possible that it took a while for police to gain access to the house. DSOTR interviewed the neighbor who let them in, but the timeline of how long it took to get into the house wasn't discussed in the episode.
How often do you think police call 911 to report crimes? Someone could have recorded whatever was reported over police radio though. But we would all have heard it if it was, most likely.
There most likely wouldn't have been anymore calls from dispatch to the reporting person after the discovery of the scene. A detective or police officer would have called the reporting person. However, death notifications are often handled by the Coroner's Office. They need to time to get to the scene, do an investigation, and then notify the next of kin. The coroner's office sometimes doesn't like it for nonfamily members to find out before the remaining family does. So, it's possible the detectives wouldn't even have called back until a significant amount of time later.
im sure what happened IS the most unsettling outcome. Likely anything that went on in peoples head that day was innocent or naive to the real destruction that happened. "Wheres the Benoits, I really hope they havent died in a car accident" --- worst case scenario wouldnt even suspect the morbid reality
I feel like Chris was in a place mentally we can’t even imagine. I grew up with him on TV and while he wasn’t my favorite he shaped my childhood when he was on Nitro. Sad situation all around
Yeah, the place mentally that we can't even imagine is that he was a longtime domestic abuser. That's the fundamental fact at the core of this tragedy, not brain damage.
What this man did was inexcusable. People love making excuses for horrible acts. He preyed on his own wife and his own small child. People want to pretend some ghost jumped into his body and did it because "HE ENTERTAINED ME". I don't put my entertainment above anyone's LIFE. Especially an innocent child. He was sharp enough to still put on great technical wrestling matches and make his events on time; that demonstrates that had self-control. It was his CHOICE to commit these horrible acts. His brain was damaged but he was clearly still highly functional. This was HIS choice; not some poltergeist that jumped into his brain. There are men miraculously alive from getting their brain half blown off, and THEY didn't make any excuses to touch children. Benoit did.
Imagine being a cop that is fan of wrestling and being the first person in the world to find out the one huge star has took away his life and his family's ones... They must have felt very different weird emotions. I mean, a very popular wrestler that you know for years ends up like that, and you go inside his house and find him dead... So many different emotions one after the other.
@@wresling300you dont know that lol cops are humans too my big brother is a cop and is the biggest fucking wrestling mark I've EVER met he literally got me into wrestling 😂😂
Far and away the saddest thing to ever happen in pro wrestling. An innocent boy lost his life, a loving wife lost her life, a man who seemed to be one of the nicest guys in the sport ruined his legacy, and another son lost them all and has to carry that cross for the rest of his life, to the extent that he's not even allowed into wrestling. Friends, family, fans - all devastated. Incomprehensible on all levels.
@@samsaverino8159 I highly doubt he’ll ever be hired to big name companies such as WWE, AEW, TNA, ROH, or NJPW. He may get chances to have matches at small venues with no name companies, but that’s about it. Doesn’t help that he’s gone on record saying he wants to be called Chris Benoit Jr…
@@samsaverino8159 He will never be allowed in any big promotion, unlike other second generation superstars who basically get a free invitation even if they suck. Chris Jericho actively went out of his way to sabotage Benoit Jr's offerings to wrestle at some smaller shows. The most he could hope for is wrestling in some mud shows in front of a few hundred people or so, and even that under a different name or with a mask, which he likely has understood by now as well because he is 30 now and hasn't really wrestled anywhere from what I know, at some point you get too old to start.

It's scary because as a kid you watch movies like The Shining with enjoyment of the horror... But then you get older and see these real horror stories and realize there's nothing to enjoy about the horror of somebody becoming psychotic... One moment you're living the American Dream and years later it all falls apart turning you into a monster
For the record, it wasn't just one thing that led to this... Benoit's brain was absolute mush from CTE, he was depressed from losing Eddie & others, he was taking alcohol and substances, and apparently his marriage was falling apart. Like most disasters it wasn't one thing but more of a combination of factors that led to tragedy. I still remember the moment I found out, I was in Kansas City at a SkillsUSA event... I was in the hotel room and turned on the TV to watch Raw and they are playing clips from Chris Benoit's special they made after he won WHC and in the bottom right it said 'Remembering Chris Benoit' my jaw dropped. The next night I attended the competition results ceremony at Kemper Arena, which some of you will recall is where Owen Hart fell to his death. It was all so eerie, I'm getting goosebumps just writing about it. EDIT: I completely forgot to mention that I actually met Chris at Fan Axxess for Wrestlemania 19 in Seattle. Not like I hung out with him or anything, just a "how ya doing?" handshake/signature... even in a friendly jovial environment he definitely had a quiet intensity to him. Pretty firm handshake. I've met 7 wrestlers in my life and his was the second strongest, only Kip James/Billy Gunn's was stronger.
No, it wasn't the CTE... It was the realization of losing everything you had worked for in succession... His best friend, his job, his wife... Mixed in with mood altering drugs ... He had an extreme meltdown where everything that mattered in his life was rapidly slipping away... Benoit knew exactly what he was doing but the emotional trauma of losing everything that mattered to him was too much and he snapped... He killed his wife, son, and himself because he was out of control and the only thing he could control was how it would all end
@@neillscott4192 Because he was drunk on Friday night when he killed Nancy and killed himself on Sunday night after snuffing Daniel out on Saturday morning. Roughly 48 hours is plenty of time for booze to leave system. Listen to the story that Simon Dean (Nova) tells about a drunk Benoit searching for Justin Roberts. Benoit absolutely did drink.
911: What does he look like? Caller: He has a very wide neck...looks like a wrestler. 911: Ah...okay. 911 operator to cops: I have a description...look for a wide-neck guy. 😳
@@jamesb8619 no kidding. Everyone exaggerates their height in the limelight. The only person who seems bigger in person is Undertaker. I knew he was big but seeing him in person, he was a monster
In my opinion the Benoit tragedy and the Owen Hart tragedy are the 2 darkest days in all of wrestling I don't think any other tragedy will ever beat them.
The Bensnot thing doesn't count as in wrestling. It crosses over and affects it, but it is separate. The Owen Hart death was bad planning by Vince & WWF, which crosses over into the world the opposite way. I say the Bensnot deaths don't count, because just cause he was a wrestler doesn't make it part of the business. Owen's death was from the business.
These calls are scary, I’m almost 20 and I remember seeing Benoit on tv in 2006 and my grandma told me I couldn’t watch it. And I remember my cousin was crying because she told me Benoit passed and i didn’t understood as a kid
LITTLERLY SAME!!! My dad wouldn’t tell me the whole story as a kid. Rightfully so because I really loved him almost wasn’t allowed to watch wrestling after that happend
@@brettpritchard265 I was thinking the same thing... the tragedy happened in 2007 but they are talking like as if it happened in 2006 but probs it's just a typo
@@krueger92 That's not what he said at all. He said he (at almost age 4) remembers watching Benoit in 2006 and his grandma told him that he couldn't watch it. At no point did he come close to mentioning that he watched Benoit on "2 separate occasions". Of course, Benoit was still an active wrestler and the tragedy was still a year away from taking place. He then states that his cousin, who appears to have come from the future, was crying and told him that Benoit had passed away and he didn't understand it.
I went to his former high-school during this time. It was the most awkward couple of weeks he had a display set up for his accomplishments that was quickly took down by the end of the day.
@@Dean-wh4mmyes the Eddie situation played a big part during that dark period. His death broke a lot of fans and wrestlers, Benoit was a clear example. He lost his way and went off the deep end, went deep into the drug and pill addiction which played a role in his dementia like brain. Eddie was the most heartbreaking death in wrestling history and Benoits was the darkest and most disturbing. So yes, 05-07 was a dark period in wrestling
Eddies death was heartbreaking but I wouldn’t say it was dark it’s not like he was murdered or something. But yes the Beniot situation was definitely dark
If you think about it…he died twice physically and mentally. The day eddie Guerrero died his soul basically left his entire body. he wasn’t the same after that.
Those messages that were sent at 3 in the morning do seem weird but I feel like Chris did text those messages on his and Nancy''s phone right before his/her death!
Nancy died on Friday night and Daniel died on Saturday so it’s likely he sent these after Daniel had passed. Also Benoit before he committed suicide had apparently looked up on the internet a story on the prophet Elijah which makes me think he was so damaged in his brain that he thought he was going to be able to bring them back to life 😔
@@mikeklietz730 oh my gosh, my jaw dropped reading your comment about him looking up Elijah trying to bring his family back 😓😢 who knows what he was thinking, I hope his wife and child are at peace
Both Fagan and the officer seemed to have the same thought about what the situation might be. I'm sure the officer has had similar situations before and knew that when there was this much wrong and silence from the house, whatever was waiting inside probably wasn't good. I'm guessing Fagan was hoping against hope that it was some misunderstanding or innocent situation but when Benoit missed consecutive shows, you knew something was very wrong.
Lmao "his name is Chris Benoit the rabid wolverine, he is about 6'1 270 pounds and is one of best technical wrestlers in the world so you might wanna send back up because tonight he will take back is world championship" Operator- "Sir what is the address?"
The first call was heartbreaking because they were all dead at that point. And the final call was very chilling because it was right before they entered Benoit’s house
@@mawage666he's about the same height as Ric flair if you see them together. Definitely not 3-4 inches shorter The reason I use flair is he is nearly 6ft even when all hunched over these days
@@berlynmeave416 You’re not gonna defend Jeffrey Dahmer just because he was curious about what happened if you put acid into someone’s brain. In fact, Jeffrey Dahmer and Benoit both killed people in cold blood but you only choosing to defend one is quite the double standard. Benoit strangled his wife and when police found her, she was bound with tape and a makeshift gag of a tube sock and tape was found in the bin. Benoit tied and gagged his wife when he strangled her so no one could hear her scream, but when I call Benoit the monster that he is, you hide behind the CTE excuse? You’re defending Chris Benoit the wrestler, Chris Benoit who has CTE. But when it comes to the murder suicide, you should be talking about Chris Benoit the person, Benoit as a father who killed his son, Benoit as a husband who killed his wife. Benoit was a bully backstage and Nancy nearly filed for divorce in 2003 because Chris was abusive, but go ahead and tell me CTE was the excuse when in reality he was always a piece of shit who couldn’t control himself.
Tbf the headbutts were probably the least of it, but the chairs to the head and hitting the back of your head on moves. It's not like he ACTUALLY hit his head on them hard enough to hurt someone.. wrestling IS "fake" after all
@@NeCoruptionIt was the diving headbutt from the top rope. Proven to cause real world concussions to the one doing it. Dynamite Kid, Harley Race, Brian Danielson, Benoit, everyone who uses it ends up wrecked from it for real.
I just want to point out that Chris Benoit has a surviving son and I think it's a little messed up that because of what his father did the support rug for his son was pulled out right from under his feet when most likely not being rude what saved his life was not being there that night so it's not his fault so stop blaming a kid for what his father's done! My hats go off to the people in the company who stayed close to his son after this and knew that it wasn't his fault and he still needed support after all he was just a child that just lost his mom father and sibling not to mention the whole wrestling community!!!! Let's be honest wrestlers and fans .... I don't know maybe I'm being biased because Chris was one of my favorite wrestlers that doesn't mean that I condone or forgive his actions it simply means that I admired what he did in the ring!!! Toothless aggression the rabbid wolverine and the flying head butt will always live in infamy in my memory as fond great memories I'm sorry that's just the truth!!!
For the record David Benoit's mom wasn't Nancy, his mom was Chris' wife prior to Nancy. Still pretty tragic for him, people have said the most ugly, vile things to him. It's the worst of humanity.
If I remember correctly he was packing to go to visit his father, if the tragedy happened a week or so later would’ve meant everyone was gone, it’s really shocking to think how much could’ve chanced in the span of a few days, I don’t think WWE should just pretend Benoit didn’t exist, but if he is mentioned, mention his family who perished in that house, all we hear is “the psycho murderer killed his family” “coward hung himself after killing his wife and son” that’s the majority of what’s said, it just feels like people jump in the bandwagon of “he’s an evil murderer” what he did was monstrous, I personally believe, he had a drink, an argument happened, Benoit killed his wife while drunk, after the struggle, he wakes up the next day realises what he’s done, and gets some medicine, he drugs his son, and strangles him, he then drinks some more to take off the guilt, as there was alcohol near his body, then after a while sat down drinking, he hung himself, the only people who really know what happened are dead, Sullivan didn’t kill Benoit, they didn’t like each other but why would he kill them years later, makes no sense, I think it’s a stupid theory, the brain damage, drugs, and alcohol all constituted, there’s no, one thing that caused it, in the end we will always be talking about what caused it.
But the kid is a man now and won't let that shit alone . Keeps defending his father like he's an innocent man. What he did was unforgivable people need to accept that. Whatever he did in his career doesn't justify his actions
yuo say poor chaove but what kidn firend is chavo any way he if you he was ture firned he wood get of as eruhs to benoit palce that what ture friends do when they get wride shit form there buddy
If someone leaves you a message at 3 in the morning on ur voicemail, and the message is "Dogs are in the backyard, backdoor is open."...that is ominous.
ture and if that some is your buudy hwo you know for years then you get off your ass go there house or send some one who can if you cant that hsow chavoe is fake friend
This was a horrible tragedy that happened the autopsy showed Chris had chronic traumatic encephalopathy which is serious brain damage from taking blows left and right for the many years he wrestled. The symptoms include memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, impulse control problems, aggression, depression, anxiety, suicidality, parkinsonism, and, eventually, progressive dementia. Im not making up excuses but nobody has the same mindset and mental illness and CTE is a real thing that people look over. As this is a sad tragedy that happened we should not overlook CTE as if it didn’t affect his life everyday. If he didn’t have it I’d say he wouldn’t had done the things he did. Mental illness and this type of disease is real and it affects everything about us it can bring us to do things we couldn’t ever have thought to do. In all honesty I hate that CTE brought him to do what he did I do not hate him.
Why is it so difficult for people to accept that this man’s head was fucked up from physical injury? They want to think someone actually came and killed his family, dipped, and then he committed suicide??? Why? Why??
@@irishman9617 agree to disagree, he was telling the wrestlers that he worked with that he was getting followed and he actually believed he was. he thought it was real when it could had been a hallucination. And he got his head injury from taking hits throughout the years of his career which slowly progressed to becoming bad. Though the answer is we have no idea to is if he knew exactly what he was doing or not. All these people are all stating opinions over facts and yes some of the things I said are opinions but some of it ain’t. But we don’t know until we live it.
Now remember when the guy called 911 he said Chris was religious I thought that was weird to mention. But now knowing the bible was laying near Nancy’s body it all makes sense. He was helping to stage these murders!
He had a "religious" commitment to his WWE career, never missing his appointments or getting late. The way he didn't show up was a red flag for them because of that.
Yes, he was deeply damaged but so are many other people in various ways and they don’t murder their wife and kids, he died a monster end of conversation.
@@UMANGPLAYSThe difference is that most of the wrestlers doing that move today protect their heads, by either hitting the headbutt near opponents body or putting their hands on the mat first. But Benoit used to hit his head for real most of the time + chair shots on the head and what not. To make it worse...he used to take chair shots at the back of his head as well which as actually a stupid idea. No doubt he got a brain equivalent to a 85 year old alzheimer's patient's brain.
I believe in situations where someone died in the house and an investigation was involved (murd3r, suicid3, unattended deaths) they're required to tell potential future residents about that house's history.
It just breaks my heart with his last message was he was basically telling everybody goodbye I mean he even said it the texts ... the dogs are in the backyard the back door is unlocked goodbye!!! 😥 And it sort of does really piss me off and upset me that it took them so long after those texts came through to freaking go and check on him I believe it was like a few days too! it wasn't until he missed his show that they gave a shit to call and find out where he was that's pretty freaking low if you ask me!!!
@@decorous3095 while you are right Chavo did get a text message he wasn't the only one practically everyone in the company got it so it's not solely on Chavo
@@MG-mm5fh In an interview he did with Chris Jericho he mentioned Scott Armstrong( I at least think thats who ) being another person that got the texts. Also in his state of mind how can you really blame him?
@@PlasmaOrb1000 exactly trust me I have extensively gone over this like I said I was a very big Chris Benoit fan... Chavo was not the only one that gotta text about the dogs!!! I've actually had some guy trying to argue with me that Chris Benoit didn't strangle his wife and kid and then strung himself up by his weights he tried telling me that Chris Benoit shot his wife and kid with a gun he was very adamantly positive about it I even tried telling him that he didn't even own firearms lol but he swore up and down I was wrong and he was right and I just didn't argue with him cuz I knew better lmao
In my school days in 2000s , i always kept Benoit higher than Undertaker and hulk hogan . Cant really believe this what time kept for him. Man , destiny can be such cruel sometimes.😢
An officer is not allowed to enter a household or property without a search warrant. It was a welfare check. They cannot put themselves in harms way of 2 aggressive dogs if it is not confirmed of what’s inside the house. Because say Chris was still alive in there and he saw officers , he probably open fires or takes himself out right there
You might be right but I'm gonna be the devils advocate and say that he was putting pressure on the other guy to hurry the fuck up and get the gate code
I was confused by this but I didn't realize he had more than one son. Everything I've ever heard about him Chris was a stand up guy, I'm sure he would be proud
I was like 10 years old when Chris And Eddie died, both my favourite wrestlers.. I remember learning what Chris did when I was abit older and I was blown away his brain must of been severely damaged
Outside of the lasting horror of this, a goofy point worth making: Him calling it “World Wrestling” is hilariously absurd. No one has ever called it that, and I wonder if there’s actually people in the company who see the company as being named “World Wrestling.” Of course this dude also described Chris as being “6’-1”, with short black hair. What a weird guy.
@@jrcrit8843 More like JR Crit-IC over here! Am I right? …You tell me, does Chris Benoit have Black hair? Tasked with describing the guy in a possible life or death situation, and his description is almost comically off. While strange, it’s a point worth making, indeed!
Theres no excuse for what he did but theres an explanation. His brain was equivalent to an 80+ year old with severe alziemers. The Dr couldnt believe how bad the CTE was. This combined with the grief of losing Eddie and substamce abuse. It not an excuse for him killing his wife and kid but it definetly adds context to what happened. Had he not had major CTE and delt with his depression properly im sure none of this would have happened. Its tragic all around. May they all rest in peace.
And there are autotopsy that showed that Wayne Gacy had severe brain damage and evidence of sexual trauma as child. THAT DOESN'T EXCUSE WHAT HE OR BENOIT DID. THEY CHOSE TO PUT THEIR HANDS ON A CHILD. Just because one is an entertainer that you want empathize with doesn't make it ok. There's an "explanation" for everything, nothing happens in a vacuum.
I left this comment on a few different videos about the Chris Benoit tragedy over the years and i will leave the gist of it here also. 1 month before the Benoit family passed away, i attended a Smackdown taping followed immediately by a live ECW show in Baltimore. I remember it well because it was my very 1st and the only live event ive ever been to. Ozzie Osborn was actually at that Smackdown performing his new hit "over the top". Anyway, that night after the ECW Live show had ended, they had a quick dark match involving Benoit and Batista vs MVP and someone else. I have some photos i took with a disposable kodak camera, Benoit was wearing yellow tights. So, after the match was over, Benoit walked over and stood on the 2nd turnbuckle and faced out into the crowd. I was only 3 rows behind Michael Cole so i had a good vantage point. Benoits facial expressions went from Angry to sad to looking like he was goimg to cry to looking extremely angry again. It actually freaked me out and i looked over at my cousin, butch, and said said, Bro, something is wrong with Benoit. He agreed and said, yeah dude, that was weird. Out of all the matches that night from both Smackdown and that God awful ECW rebrand, the main thing that stayed with me to this very day is the multiple expressions on Benoits face that night. Now after everything we've heard, its pretty obvious that. CTE was his biggest problem. He was messed up in the head and unfortunately i am of the opinion that Chris Benoit 100% did those horrible things to his family and himself. Its a shame that nobody did anything to try to prevent that horrible tragedy from happening. People say they never knew anything was wrong with him or couldn't see any signs.. well, i saw that there was something wrong with him 1 month before it happened and i was just a fan in the crowd. Smh. Its tragic losses that i wish would've been prevented.

Whats crazy about this video to me.. The calm phone calls back and forth, dogs barking, cops and neighbours slowly assembling to get near the house and check in,
meanwhile in the house, its complete silence and 3 people including a child are deceased. The fact that Benoit did it over a weekend, and that he basically slept 2 nights in the same house as his dead family before doing himself.. i lost sleep thinking about it at the time the details first came out
I grew up watching Chris Benoits career, and now at 33 i still cant wrap my head around what he did
Who's to say he slept could've been awake the whole time seems most likely I think
I'm 34 and can't believe he did this still.
Tampoco puedo entender por qué lo hizo 😢

@@jamesb8619he ruined it
I’m not gonna lie. I actually just played Smackdown vs Raw 07 a few weeks ago on my PS2 (heavy nostalgia, I love playing old games). And Undertaker literally did exactly this. It was weird because in Season Mode, Teddy Long left a voicemail to your superstar saying “Nobody has seen Benoit all weekend! We don’t know where he’s at!” 🥴🥴🥴 crazy to think about.
not only that but they threw that suicidal ass song “forgive me” on the soundtrack, i never thought much about it but it seemed like benoit had killing himself premediated for the year 07 regardless with the way everything lined up.
And Undertaker says “if you insist on making this mistake, your grieving family will have no one to blame but you when the inevitable occurs” to Chris
Great game, i upload n64 and ps2 games :)
There was also a SD vs. RAW game where one of Undertakers storylines had him place Eddie Guerrero in a casket and gave a long eulogy for him. Im pretty sure this game came ouy shortly before Eddies tragic passing as well. Weird.
@@gsesquire3441 To be fair, the undertaker had to have a storyline like that with somebody, it's just a coincidence it was eddie

If you watch the CM Punk match at Vengeance 2007 (41 minutes in) you can hear the crowd chant "We want Benoit." It's so surreal, by that point people still had no clue what had happened. You can even hear Benoits replacement, Johnny Nitro respond to the crowd by saying "You got Johnny Nitro!" on the second round of chants.
Just knowing what the police would find inside the house is heartbreaking! It has to be very hard for officers to witness such things. Props and thanks to all of the good officers out there, who keep us safe!
They did everything except a good investigation and had no proof that he did it.
This isn't an instance of them keeping anybody safe. Police in the U.S. are not obligated to keep anybody safe, contrary to popular belief.

It's horrible to think that they were all inside the house for hours on end while the dogs had somehow got loose and were stopping the police from finding them. I couldn't imagine what those officers were feeling once they got in the house and found them.

@@xPadge112xthe neighbor had a great relationship with the dogs. I heard she would babysit his dog
@@xPadge112xDark Side of the Ring did a great job covering this, although timelines (including details like this) are typically cleaned up due to time constraints.
Obviously, based on these calls, it's totally possible that it took a while for police to gain access to the house. DSOTR interviewed the neighbor who let them in, but the timeline of how long it took to get into the house wasn't discussed in the episode.
This is the first time I am hearing this. It's really shocking.
Not that I'm dying to hear it, but in theory there would be one more call to report the death
I have wondered this too honestly
100%. No way they just emailed them with that info.
How often do you think police call 911 to report crimes? Someone could have recorded whatever was reported over police radio though. But we would all have heard it if it was, most likely.
There most likely wouldn't have been anymore calls from dispatch to the reporting person after the discovery of the scene. A detective or police officer would have called the reporting person. However, death notifications are often handled by the Coroner's Office. They need to time to get to the scene, do an investigation, and then notify the next of kin. The coroner's office sometimes doesn't like it for nonfamily members to find out before the remaining family does. So, it's possible the detectives wouldn't even have called back until a significant amount of time later.
I’ve been wanting to hear it since these calls got released back in 08. Deputy def knew something was amiss based on his tone.
It's really unsettling to think of what happened while they were trying to check on him
Nothing, he was already long gone.
@@derekjlight Exactly
Decomposition?
im sure what happened IS the most unsettling outcome. Likely anything that went on in peoples head that day was innocent or naive to the real destruction that happened.
"Wheres the Benoits, I really hope they havent died in a car accident" --- worst case scenario wouldnt even suspect the morbid reality
I feel like Chris was in a place mentally we can’t even imagine. I grew up with him on TV and while he wasn’t my favorite he shaped my childhood when he was on Nitro. Sad situation all around
I remember playing with his character on ps2 wwe 2007 sad he's gone
Same his best of 7 match with Booker T is my favorite series of matches.
☹️
Yeah, the place mentally that we can't even imagine is that he was a longtime domestic abuser. That's the fundamental fact at the core of this tragedy, not brain damage.
What this man did was inexcusable. People love making excuses for horrible acts. He preyed on his own wife and his own small child.
People want to pretend some ghost jumped into his body and did it because "HE ENTERTAINED ME". I don't put my entertainment above anyone's LIFE. Especially an innocent child.
He was sharp enough to still put on great technical wrestling matches and make his events on time; that demonstrates that had self-control. It was his CHOICE to commit these horrible acts. His brain was damaged but he was clearly still highly functional. This was HIS choice; not some poltergeist that jumped into his brain. There are men miraculously alive from getting their brain half blown off, and THEY didn't make any excuses to touch children. Benoit did.
After Eddie's death, Chris transform into something unexplainable but noticed he's character slipped into darkness
I think Chris found out Eddie was a wwe sacrifice and put Rey misterio in his place for the Latin market!

@@samsaverino8159 He will never be allowed in any big promotion, unlike other second generation superstars who basically get a free invitation even if they suck. Chris Jericho actively went out of his way to sabotage Benoit Jr's offerings to wrestle at some smaller shows. The most he could hope for is wrestling in some mud shows in front of a few hundred people or so, and even that under a different name or with a mask, which he likely has understood by now as well because he is 30 now and hasn't really wrestled anywhere from what I know, at some point you get too old to start.

It's scary because as a kid you watch movies like The Shining with enjoyment of the horror... But then you get older and see these real horror stories and realize there's nothing to enjoy about the horror of somebody becoming psychotic... One moment you're living the American Dream and years later it all falls apart turning you into a monster
It's interesting how you referenced The Shining. I remember the first time I watched the movie...the weekend of the tragedy
For the record, it wasn't just one thing that led to this... Benoit's brain was absolute mush from CTE, he was depressed from losing Eddie & others, he was taking alcohol and substances, and apparently his marriage was falling apart. Like most disasters it wasn't one thing but more of a combination of factors that led to tragedy.
I still remember the moment I found out, I was in Kansas City at a SkillsUSA event... I was in the hotel room and turned on the TV to watch Raw and they are playing clips from Chris Benoit's special they made after he won WHC and in the bottom right it said 'Remembering Chris Benoit' my jaw dropped.
The next night I attended the competition results ceremony at Kemper Arena, which some of you will recall is where Owen Hart fell to his death. It was all so eerie, I'm getting goosebumps just writing about it.
EDIT: I completely forgot to mention that I actually met Chris at Fan Axxess for Wrestlemania 19 in Seattle. Not like I hung out with him or anything, just a "how ya doing?" handshake/signature... even in a friendly jovial environment he definitely had a quiet intensity to him. Pretty firm handshake. I've met 7 wrestlers in my life and his was the second strongest, only Kip James/Billy Gunn's was stronger.
Nobody can "set the record straight". People murder their family JUST because of a failing marriage. The excuses run out just short of murder.
No, it wasn't the CTE... It was the realization of losing everything you had worked for in succession... His best friend, his job, his wife... Mixed in with mood altering drugs ... He had an extreme meltdown where everything that mattered in his life was rapidly slipping away... Benoit knew exactly what he was doing but the emotional trauma of losing everything that mattered to him was too much and he snapped... He killed his wife, son, and himself because he was out of control and the only thing he could control was how it would all end
Only one problem with that. No alcohol was found in his system.
@@neillscott4192 Because he was drunk on Friday night when he killed Nancy and killed himself on Sunday night after snuffing Daniel out on Saturday morning.

Those messages that were sent at 3 in the morning do seem weird but I feel like Chris did text those messages on his and Nancy''s phone right before his/her death!
Nancy died on Friday night and Daniel died on Saturday so it’s likely he sent these after Daniel had passed.

I can feel the dread.
Both Fagan and the officer seemed to have the same thought about what the situation might be. I'm sure the officer has had similar situations before and knew that when there was this much wrong and silence from the house, whatever was waiting inside probably wasn't good. I'm guessing Fagan was hoping against hope that it was some misunderstanding or innocent situation but when Benoit missed consecutive shows, you knew something was very wrong.

You’re defending Chris Benoit the wrestler, Chris Benoit who has CTE. But when it comes to the murder suicide, you should be talking about Chris Benoit the person, Benoit as a father who killed his son, Benoit as a husband who killed his wife.
Benoit was a bully backstage and Nancy nearly filed for divorce in 2003 because Chris was abusive, but go ahead and tell me CTE was the excuse when in reality he was always a piece of shit who couldn’t control himself.

@@NeCoruptionIt was the diving headbutt from the top rope. Proven to cause real world concussions to the one doing it. Dynamite Kid, Harley Race, Brian Danielson, Benoit, everyone who uses it ends up wrecked from it for real.
I just want to point out that Chris Benoit has a surviving son and I think it's a little messed up that because of what his father did the support rug for his son was pulled out right from under his feet when most likely not being rude what saved his life was not being there that night so it's not his fault so stop blaming a kid for what his father's done! My hats go off to the people in the company who stayed close to his son after this and knew that it wasn't his fault and he still needed support after all he was just a child that just lost his mom father and sibling not to mention the whole wrestling community!!!! Let's be honest wrestlers and fans .... I don't know maybe I'm being biased because Chris was one of my favorite wrestlers that doesn't mean that I condone or forgive his actions it simply means that I admired what he did in the ring!!! Toothless aggression the rabbid wolverine and the flying head butt will always live in infamy in my memory as fond great memories I'm sorry that's just the truth!!!
For the record David Benoit's mom wasn't Nancy, his mom was Chris' wife prior to Nancy. Still pretty tragic for him, people have said the most ugly, vile things to him. It's the worst of humanity.
If I remember correctly he was packing to go to visit his father, if the tragedy happened a week or so later would’ve meant everyone was gone, it’s really shocking to think how much could’ve chanced in the span of a few days, I don’t think WWE should just pretend Benoit didn’t exist, but if he is mentioned, mention his family who perished in that house, all we hear is “the psycho murderer killed his family” “coward hung himself after killing his wife and son” that’s the majority of what’s said, it just feels like people jump in the bandwagon of “he’s an evil murderer” what he did was monstrous, I personally believe, he had a drink, an argument happened, Benoit killed his wife while drunk, after the struggle, he wakes up the next day realises what he’s done, and gets some medicine, he drugs his son, and strangles him, he then drinks some more to take off the guilt, as there was alcohol near his body, then after a while sat down drinking, he hung himself, the only people who really know what happened are dead, Sullivan didn’t kill Benoit, they didn’t like each other but why would he kill them years later, makes no sense, I think it’s a stupid theory, the brain damage, drugs, and alcohol all constituted, there’s no, one thing that caused it, in the end we will always be talking about what caused it.
But the kid is a man now and won't let that shit alone . Keeps defending his father like he's an innocent man. What he did was unforgivable people need to accept that. Whatever he did in his career doesn't justify his actions
David Benoit didn't live with them at the time. He lived with his mom, Chris's ex-wife.

Public record.
This was a horrible tragedy that happened the autopsy showed Chris had chronic traumatic encephalopathy which is serious brain damage from taking blows left and right for the many years he wrestled. The symptoms include memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, impulse control problems, aggression, depression, anxiety, suicidality, parkinsonism, and, eventually, progressive dementia. Im not making up excuses but nobody has the same mindset and mental illness and CTE is a real thing that people look over. As this is a sad tragedy that happened we should not overlook CTE as if it didn’t affect his life everyday. If he didn’t have it I’d say he wouldn’t had done the things he did. Mental illness and this type of disease is real and it affects everything about us it can bring us to do things we couldn’t ever have thought to do. In all honesty I hate that CTE brought him to do what he did I do not hate him.
yes after I know he had CTE, I can't bring myself to hate him :')

And he got his head injury from taking hits throughout the years of his career which slowly progressed to becoming bad. Though the answer is we have no idea to is if he knew exactly what he was doing or not. All these people are all stating opinions over facts and yes some of the things I said are opinions but some of it ain’t. But we don’t know until we live it.
CTE is extremely common in pro wrestling. Murdering kids isn't. Go figure.
It's weird he keeps calling him "religious" when he means reliable.
It’s a term “religious” as in he’s dedicated
Now remember when the guy called 911 he said Chris was religious I thought that was weird to mention. But now knowing the bible was laying near Nancy’s body it all makes sense. He was helping to stage these murders!
He had a "religious" commitment to his WWE career, never missing his appointments or getting late. The way he didn't show up was a red flag for them because of that.
Can't help but notice that he gives Chris' kayfabe height.
Yes, he was deeply damaged but so are many other people in various ways and they don’t murder their wife and kids, he died a monster end of conversation.

That part had me dying lmao
@@thekillswitch7304 Wonder what he would have said about Pepe, Chavro's talking horse.
@@thekillswitch7304grow up.
His move was a diving headbutt. It's not even surprising how much damage he did to his head and how..
It's scary that Bryan does the same move
@@UMANGPLAYSThe difference is that most of the wrestlers doing that move today protect their heads, by either hitting the headbutt near opponents body or putting their hands on the mat first. But Benoit used to hit his head for real most of the time + chair shots on the head and what not.
To make it worse...he used to take chair shots at the back of his head as well which as actually a stupid idea. No doubt he got a brain equivalent to a 85 year old alzheimer's patient's brain.
6’1 with short black hair. Great description there buddy.
LOLOL as if the manlet was 6'1
@@jazzabighits4473I bet you are manlet lol
One could only imagine if someone else is now living in that house not knowing the gruesome murders uncovered.
Plenty of people have lived in houses where gruesome murders have taken place. This is no different
I believe in situations where someone died in the house and an investigation was involved (murd3r, suicid3, unattended deaths) they're required to tell potential future residents about that house's history.
It’s gotta be haunted
the grudge 4 movie set.
6-1? Yeah, he's nowhere near that tall.
5-8 at best
Chris was a lot of things. 6’1” was not one of those things.
The craziest part about this…. Benoit was not 6’1”
Nor did he have black hair.
Because this security guy was nervous so that’s why he said 6’1. You can tell in his voice he knew something was wrong
Yeha I had met him in person. I’m 6’1. He was at least 6’4
@@thekillswitch7304 If you're in security you better not be nervous.
Doesn't this guy remember that Benoit was one of the Vanilla midgets! Did he call Guerrero Chavro?
Mr. McMahon on Netflix got me looking up all of these wild videos.😩🤦🏽♂️
Wow. The fact they told them where they can access their home. This is bs... they sound like they know each other.
love how they found a way to put Benoit over in these calls
what?
@@arthurcurry2003 don’t feel feel like explaining
@@elyonkunda6772 based
They were just describing the truth.
@@seheadhunter50 Truth like him being 6' 1"?
It just breaks my heart with his last message was he was basically telling everybody goodbye I mean he even said it the texts ... the dogs are in the backyard the back door is unlocked goodbye!!! 😥 And it sort of does really piss me off and upset me that it took them so long after those texts came through to freaking go and check on him I believe it was like a few days too! it wasn't until he missed his show that they gave a shit to call and find out where he was that's pretty freaking low if you ask me!!!
@@decorous3095 while you are right Chavo did get a text message he wasn't the only one practically everyone in the company got it so it's not solely on Chavo
@@joecrail7596 that’s false. Only Chavo got the text
@@MG-mm5fh
In an interview he did with Chris Jericho he mentioned Scott Armstrong( I at least think thats who ) being another person that got the texts. Also in his state of mind how can you really blame him?
@@PlasmaOrb1000 exactly trust me I have extensively gone over this like I said I was a very big Chris Benoit fan... Chavo was not the only one that gotta text about the dogs!!! I've actually had some guy trying to argue with me that Chris Benoit didn't strangle his wife and kid and then strung himself up by his weights he tried telling me that Chris Benoit shot his wife and kid with a gun he was very adamantly positive about it I even tried telling him that he didn't even own firearms lol but he swore up and down I was wrong and he was right and I just didn't argue with him cuz I knew better lmao
@@MG-mm5fh Chris Jericho I know for a fact got the text because he admitted as much in an interview
And people wonder why WWE went PG.
"What does he look like?"
I'm sure there was Google back then.
the retired cop trying to flex names and telling them to taze the dogs just exemplifies how much was fucked up about his generation.
First phone call sounds like referee Tim White
I couldn't believe this when I first heard about it. Absolutely devastating.
Me neither. I always thought "silence and violence" was just a gimmick.
Dispatcher be living under a rock or something
Not everyone is into fake bullshite wrestling
Not everyone is into fake bullshite wrestling
In my school days in 2000s , i always kept Benoit higher than Undertaker and hulk hogan . Cant really believe this what time kept for him. Man , destiny can be such cruel sometimes.😢
That detective goes "Well Im gonna have my guys leave and come back later if you get me the gate code." Half a$$ing it.
An officer is not allowed to enter a household or property without a search warrant. It was a welfare check. They cannot put themselves in harms way of 2 aggressive dogs if it is not confirmed of what’s inside the house. Because say Chris was still alive in there and he saw officers , he probably open fires or takes himself out right there
You might be right but I'm gonna be the devils advocate and say that he was putting pressure on the other guy to hurry the fuck up and get the gate code
Chris would be proud of his son and how far he has come
I was confused by this but I didn't realize he had more than one son. Everything I've ever heard about him Chris was a stand up guy, I'm sure he would be proud
The other son that he would have killed if he was there.
Yeah, I’m not so sure he wouldn’t of killed the other son if he was there too.
@@rct3nut74 Stand-up guy / child murderer, it's a fine line.
@@DannyDGeorgia We don't get to pass judgement on someone who is deceased. Your comment comes from true intentions so thank you
This is the first I've heard this after all this time. This is so erie

If after my death, somebody ever describes me in this way -
I'd have died a happy man.
I was like 10 years old when Chris And Eddie died, both my favourite wrestlers.. I remember learning what Chris did when I was abit older and I was blown away his brain must of been severely damaged
i was 15, i cried when they both died.
@@AzguardMike I definitely cried when Eddie died
you can hear the sarcasm in the dispatchers voice when she says "hes a wrestler?"
Damn dude you couldn't have bleeped out when the guy said his phone number
Ion think it matters now😂
Call him and see if he picks up.
yea lol, call him!
Called him the number doesn’t work anymore
my dad has the same number from like 2004
It’s disturbing for what he did, that won’t ever change. He was an icon for me growing up. Im just upset for all the emotional weight he was carrying.
you can still enjoy him as a wrestler, just not as a person.
@@wresling300 No, when you look at his sons face you really can't.
Outside of the lasting horror of this, a goofy point worth making: Him calling it “World Wrestling” is hilariously absurd. No one has ever called it that, and I wonder if there’s actually people in the company who see the company as being named “World Wrestling.” Of course this dude also described Chris as being “6’-1”, with short black hair. What a weird guy.
You’re right, a meaningless point you made there. Congrats buddy
@@jrcrit8843 More like JR Crit-IC over here! Am I right? …You tell me, does Chris Benoit have Black hair? Tasked with describing the guy in a possible life or death situation, and his description is almost comically off. While strange, it’s a point worth making, indeed!
It was the “World Wrestling” federation
the rabbit hole on this gets deeper and deeper
Very unsettling and eerie hearing these.
“Chris is about 6’1”. LOL, security guy upholding kayfabe.
Also, poor form to not censor the guy’s cell phone number.
Or his address to benoits home
Imagine if he showed up to the PPV? He would’ve most likely killed WWE.
Theres no excuse for what he did but theres an explanation. His brain was equivalent to an 80+ year old with severe alziemers. The Dr couldnt believe how bad the CTE was. This combined with the grief of losing Eddie and substamce abuse. It not an excuse for him killing his wife and kid but it definetly adds context to what happened. Had he not had major CTE and delt with his depression properly im sure none of this would have happened. Its tragic all around. May they all rest in peace.
I call bull when tf was there an outbreak of grandfathers killing there wife’s Benoit is drug addicted psychopath
Lmao if he had lived, he would have gotten the death penalty.
@@philtll re-read what he said
And there are autotopsy that showed that Wayne Gacy had severe brain damage and evidence of sexual trauma as child.
THAT DOESN'T EXCUSE WHAT HE OR BENOIT DID. THEY CHOSE TO PUT THEIR HANDS ON A CHILD.
Just because one is an entertainer that you want empathize with doesn't make it ok. There's an "explanation" for everything, nothing happens in a vacuum.
The explanation is that he's scum. Like all wrestlers have CTE. They don't murder their families.
Whoa...6'1?
I'd seen Benoit in person...no way is he more than 5'9.
6.1??
I thought that was odd too. He was nowhere near 6’1.
I left this comment on a few different videos about the Chris Benoit tragedy over the years and i will leave the gist of it here also. 1 month before the Benoit family passed away, i attended a Smackdown taping followed immediately by a live ECW show in Baltimore. I remember it well because it was my very 1st and the only live event ive ever been to. Ozzie Osborn was actually at that Smackdown performing his new hit "over the top". Anyway, that night after the ECW Live show had ended, they had a quick dark match involving Benoit and Batista vs MVP and someone else. I have some photos i took with a disposable kodak camera, Benoit was wearing yellow tights. So, after the match was over, Benoit walked over and stood on the 2nd turnbuckle and faced out into the crowd. I was only 3 rows behind Michael Cole so i had a good vantage point. Benoits facial expressions went from Angry to sad to looking like he was goimg to cry to looking extremely angry again. It actually freaked me out and i looked over at my cousin, butch, and said said, Bro, something is wrong with Benoit. He agreed and said, yeah dude, that was weird. Out of all the matches that night from both Smackdown and that God awful ECW rebrand, the main thing that stayed with me to this very day is the multiple expressions on Benoits face that night. Now after everything we've heard, its pretty obvious that. CTE was his biggest problem. He was messed up in the head and unfortunately i am of the opinion that Chris Benoit 100% did those horrible things to his family and himself. Its a shame that nobody did anything to try to prevent that horrible tragedy from happening. People say they never knew anything was wrong with him or couldn't see any signs.. well, i saw that there was something wrong with him 1 month before it happened and i was just a fan in the crowd. Smh. Its tragic losses that i wish would've been prevented.
It's very sad how it all turned out
that it friends have try to get him take time off get hlep after all he ben throw it but he refuse you cant force some ont o get hlep unelss they hrut some one force sedly metal heach carr palces are to lazy fore some one to get hlep
People keep saying that Kevin Sullivan (Nancy’s ex husband) killed Chris and his family, I’m not sure if I should believe that or not
@@immunecookie0179 that's a BS conspiracy theory.
That's a BS Conspiracy theory. @immunecookie0179
Poor Chris if only he reached out and got some help, he had achieved everything he wanted to in the wrestling business. He should have took some time off and got his mind and body right
Poor Chris? What about Nancy and Daniel?!
@@edwardiputo that's why i said if he'd have took some time off to get himself right then maybe it wouldn't have happened
@@DazMan-mo8fk No deny that CTE played a role but Chris had baggage even with his first marriage. We don’t know what happened in that house that weekend. If only Chris had reached out MAYBE something would have helped him. The only victims however were Nancy and Daniel.
@@edwardiputo well the only 3 people who really knew what happened in that house on that weekend are no longer here but i still don't want to believe he really did it
@@DazMan-mo8fk Okay, now you're being delusional. I was talking about why he did it, not if.
