I met Chris, Nancy, Daniel and Chris’s parents about a year before the tragedy. To say I was shocked would be an understatement. I have been lucky enough to meet a few WWE superstars and Chris was by far the kindest. The way he interacted with Nancy and Daniel, I can’t help but to think how much CTE played into this. Glad you made it out there, as always, thanks for bringing us with you.
That's shocking! I know being Canadian In hockey we've had players suffer serious concussions and later take their lives. It's definitely something that should be more acknowledged by any professional sports that could involve serious head trauma.
So horrible I remember this happening. They were calling it Roid rage .God his little boy adorable. You never know what goes on behind closed doors. Great job Scott
His best friend was Eddie Guerrero. When Eddie died, Chris would wrote to him in his journal. Just like they were talking. Even going into how he was feeling, and the fears he had about his mental state
@Keith Nowak yup, he was already headed down a path with his brain injuries and Eddie’s death snapped the little string that was holding Chris together. Eddie never dies, I don’t think this ever happens
Idk about victim,he did drugs & steroids.Drank too,and he chose this,we've all had loved ones who tragic my passed too.None of us r perfect but we all have heard drugs r bad,most can't handle it.The blame is on him..mostly.
You are always so respectful in filming the sensitive stories. I’m glad you did this one. I’ve been a big wrestling fan for a long time and this one hits hard.
I went to this place 2 years ago. He hits on it at about 8:30. It’s a very uncomfortable place to visit. Everything about the neighborhood screams, “we don’t want to bothered”, and not in a snobby way. At least the finally paved the road, he shows parts going in where it’s not. I don’t know if you know anything about the Fayetteville area. It’s been in a ton of films and shows. From Smokey and The Bandit to a The Walking Dead to The Marvel Avengers films (Hawkeye’s house, where Iron Man and Captain America had the scene splitting wood).
LOVE THE DETAILS SCOTT. THE SLOW MOTION FILMING OF PASSING CARS. THE OVERHEAD DRONE FOOTAGE THE BACKROUND MUSIC. GREAT COVERAGE AND COMMENTARY. YOUR KILLING IT BROTHER. OUTSTANDING JOB
I'm tired of everyone talking about his brain injury. He was coherent and made the choice to murder his wife and child. He is a pos. He deserves no sympathy. What he did is evil.
This and Owen Harts death was the saddest tragedies in pro wrestling. Thank you for visiting and doing this video. I was a huge Benoit fan as a wrestler. Nancy had a decent career in wrestling too. She was gorgeous. R.i.p. to Nancy and Daniel.
That whole weekend was crazy when the news broke out that Benoit passed away and when Vince McMahon found out what really happened he said the company will never mention chris Benoit name again and he meant it with everything in his heart

Rest in peace to Nancy and Daniel. As a wrestling fan, this is one of the most tragic things I've ever seen. I saw crime scene videos from inside the house and it was so hard to stomach. Thank you for honoring Nancy and Daniel. Safe travels buddy. Peace out ✌️
Rest in peace to Chris aswell half of the people don’t know what he must of went through, yes what he did was Unforgivable but he didn’t know what he was doing.
I recall when it happened. Vince McMahon was supposed to have made an absence as if he had been killed in an auto accident. And next thing you know, standing in the middle of the ring, makes an an announcement that he isn't speaking as a part of himself and the entertainment, but instead unleashed the incident of Benoit and his family. Was mind blowing to hear. Once again, great job in narrating Scott. 👍
I was there in Fayetteville in December I passed the house as an over the road driver but couldn't stop ... Scott this was deep thank you so much for covering this story as a wrestling fan very emotional
You know what is weird is that I was watching Chris Benoit documentaries today. I was watching coverage about this and then you post this video..keep doing great work..
I have been waiting so long for you to do this one. I grew up watching wrestling and would consider Chris Benoit one of my all time favorite wrestlers. This was such a horrific crime. I remember hearing he left voicemails for family and friends telling them that Daniel and Nancy weren’t feeling good and that he wasn’t going to attend the match he was supposed to be wrestling at which signaled a red flag and he also text someone else about the family dogs. The WWE put in a request to go have a wellness check and that’s when they we’re found.
He had a hard time accepting Eddie Guerrero's death. From reports and interviews with close friends and family he was devastated. He seemed to spiral downhill fast after Eddie passed.
Benoit does not exist in WWE are in Wrestling Period!! nobody will ever mention him ever again! May he Burn in HELL!!!! For murduring Daniel and Nancy then taking his own life
You know I'm tired of people defending Christmas wrestling didn't kill him Bam Bam Bigelow did more headbutts than f****** Chris Benoit did and he didn't kill anybody tell me if that was your kid that he killed would you be making that excuse something new you would be wishing that he's died
I’m 27 years old I still remember the pain I felt when I found out of the nature of this tragedy it still haunts me to this day. My birthday is June 26 I think of this every year due to the closeness in dates. RIP to the Benoit family
The night Vince McMahon said what happened, I was shocked that Chris died, then the next night when I found out what happened, I thought, “no way.” I can’t believe he did that. R.I.P. to all
This was a truly sad incident. My condolences to the families. From what I've read, the autopsy showed Chris had the brain damage equivalent to an advanced case of dementia, from repeated head trauma. Also, according to what I've read, the county sheriff is still investigating. There's still some unresolved issues.

Thanks for getting that drone footage Scott, that was awesome & a 1st . As the drone was flying around the house I was wondering which rooms were THE rooms.
It is a tragedy indeed thinking about the boy which could now have a good life 17 years later. But I don´t think that there are so many things we don´t know - he snapped and killed his wife and unfortunately he was a coward for killing himself (and I dont wanna say what he was for killing his son)
I never thought he did it either. Too many unanswered questions, police we're way to quick announcing it was murder suicide. Thanks for the video Scott once again top notch job!! RIP Nancy, Daniel & Chris 🙏❤❤
He did it. Period! There’s zero evidence that anyone else had something to do with it. Check out her sisters interview, that gives a better inside look.
In love with the sheer amount of respect and the dedication you show towards these tragic cases. So sad 😞 Thank you for another extremely well presented video Scott ☮️💯
I’ve followed wrestling till this day and this story on Chris B is so heartbreaking. My prayers and condolences go to his family. Great job Scott on your videos and details.
I remember driving down that road in 2007 right after it happened to see this house with my best friend. I’ve been a wrestling fan all my life and and couldn’t believe this tragedy happened. We were able to park near the house and the yellow tape was still there. It was heartbreaking to know what went on in that house especially with his son. I will never forget it. Thanks for the video.
I’m late but had to say Soooo proud of you for making it to 100K !!! Many many more subs to come !!! Proud to say I’ve been watching for 3+ years ❤️please never stop . 🥰
The thing that really got to him was his best friend Eddie Guerro. Eddie died , and ever since then you can see the chance of Benoit. When they had the tribute of Eddie Benoit was the one who broke out in tears. I believe Eddie's death had something to deal with it .
This story still shocks and confuses me and breaks my heart. I do not follow wrestling but have followed this story since day one. You covered it with so much heart. 😢
There's only one other murder, involving wrestlers, that shocked me. The other was, the murder of Dino Bravo. Such a tragic. Scott, thank you for another great video.
Wow such a bizarre story. My husband is a big wrestling fan & he remembers the reports of when this happened. What a beautiful home they had, but I don’t understand why people would want to live there after this..
I just thought to myself like damn people are living there now especially after what happened I can’t help but imagine the feeling of trauma and tragedy in the house it just gives that sad and horrific vibe. I couldn’t bear walking into certain areas of the house because we know what happened.
Well apparently they got the house for half the appraised value, so I guess that's a motivating factor. Not enough for me, but I'm sure that contributed
As a kid and a huge WWE fan living in Ohio I remember this story. And as an adult whose life led him to living in Atlanta it's crazy to think I now live 15 minutes from his house.
The people who now live in the house, don't care if no one was murdered in the house. They feel like it's any other house that is great to live in that town.
Brilliant Scott, This has to be one of my favorites you have done amongst many more, i really love how you told the story, you covered it so well compared to other vids i seen on here, There was a documentry about him here in the UK too, very sad to say the least, im guessing your friends who came along with you flew the drone above the house, i have a drone myself too, it was a good collaboration, very good drone flyers, i love the music you put to the video, very sad and mellow which goes with the video as it was a tragic story, RIP to Nancy and Daniel
I remember when all of this was on the news. And my heart just sunk. Especially for that sweet little boy. And I often wonder if that house is haunted now. Blessings and be safe Scott. 😪💔
Darkest moment in pro wrestling history. I’m grateful Vice covered the Benoit Tragedy on Dark Side of The Ring. We finally got closure, truth and clarity.
Hi Scott. I started watching your UA-cam videos when you did some work with Adam a few weeks ago. It's interesting seeing your more serious side when you do a more thought provoking video like this one. Keep up the great work.
His act was evil, but I do not think he was evil. When the mind ( brain 🧠 ) is sick you're not yourself. If we're judging right we could see he needed help that's why he left a Bible next to each body. The story is sad all around....
It's amazing how beautiful his home is yet, how dark it looks knowing the back story! I have a ten year old daughter and I couldn't imagine ever....... Clearly he had mental health problems. It's so tragic. I really wish someone would have spoken to him or saw the signs! Just tragic. RIP Benoit family! Great respect yet again bro! ✌❤
He had somenone to spoke too, he had Eddie Guerrero, but he died, and i think that make him losing is mind even more, if you see here on youtube on eddie's memorial on Raw, how in much pain Chris Benoit is!!!
I think someone else may have done this and set him up. Chavo was in the phone with Chris at the time and said that he heard some one jn the background and shuffling.
The police found no hard evidence to prove exactly what happened in that house. The police came up with more questions than answers. The only reason police closed the case was because they didn't want to deal with it. I don't know if someone else was involved but multiple statements suggest that it's possible. As far as I'm concerned this case is still unsolved. Just remember the entire WWE/WCW locker room repeatedly said how Chris was the locker room peacemaker and voice of reason.
This was such a tragedy!. My husband was a major fan and took these murders hard, as if he knew them personally. Just goes to show what we dont know about whst goes on behind closed doors. Rest Easy 🌹
So sad 😞. You present these videos with such compassion Scott 😞. Music and photography both just stunning. Love love love all that you give us! Cannot wait for more 😔👍😘🥰😍
Yasss! 👏🏼 I was wondering if you were going to cover this! I’m so glad you did I’m a huuuuuugeeee wrestling fan - I remember when this happened this was such a big deal! He was an excellent wrestler - it’s such a shame. I still find this story fascinating- I feel absolutely horrible for Nancy and Daniel. This still gets to me everytime watch things on it. Thank you for this and all your hard work🙏🏻💘
This was truly tragic. In addition to the drugs that were found in his system, I wonder if CTE had played a part in the tragedy. I don't think the test was done because Benoit was found days after his death. RIP to the family.
I remember when WWE aired an in memoriam for him, with everyone praising him and his accomplishments....then when they found out what happened there like oh shit!
Just brutal on the events in 2007. As a former pro wrestling fan, Benoit had it all to be one, if not, the best Canadian wrestler of all time with his uncanny talent, mat skills,e.t.c... Stiil, feels eerie just thinking about it. Excellent video segment Scott. Keep up the good job sir.
This is truly a heartbreaking story especially when their are children involved in a murder case i don't know how someone can do that to their family RIP to the Benoit family I'm so sorry for what happened to you didn't deserve this fly high with the Angels 😇😇
A professor wrestling guy who was on the NBC4 website out here in Los Angeles said that what Chris Benoit did was absolutely monstrous by him. It was terrible what sent him over the edge, especially when his son would turn out to be special needs kids and would that way into adulthood. Nancy his wife in WCW was known as the character named “Woman” with Rick Flair in the mid to late 90’s.
If only we knew decades ago what we knew about TBI's and CTE. The dude was 225+ lbs who did a flying headbutt off the top rope for a finisher and probably did it hundreds of times a year for many years. Then add in all that he wrestled in the era notorius for metal chair shots to the head. Stack on years of drug abuse and emotional trauma. Recipe for disaster.
My husband got me into wrestling when we started dating in '99..I remember when this happened..I cried,especially for his young son..whom had a disability..people later down the years blamed the fact that Benoit had so many head injuries, that it contributed to his mental illness..don't remember the medical term, but it affects alot of athletes..RIP to Nancy and Daniel..hopefully Chris is getting some kind of peace for his soul on the other side..I know he was deeply affected by Eddie Guerrero's passing about a year or so before that❤
Imagine what his other kids had to go through hearing there father was dead there brother & step mother having been killed by there father such a heartbreaking thing to have to go through for them as well as the rest of there families
Vince McMahon has said that tribute show was one of his biggest regrets....but at the time, the cause of death had not been announced....so that is why they did the tribute show. Vince said if they had known on that Monday, what had really happened, he never would have done the show.
Great video! I’ve just listened to Chris & Nancy - The True Story of the Benoit Murder audiobook (on Amazon) it’s the most in depth account of what happened, I was blown away and I thought I knew everything about it beforehand. All the text messages between them both leading up to the event and also that the police found that he was having an affair etc. When the police arrived they couldn’t get in as they didn’t have the key code for the gates and the dogs were going mad, so the neighbour had to jump the fence and take the dogs inside. This only brushes the surface of what’s revealed, highly recommended to anyone following the case.
@@leeparks15 Yep and the woman he was having an affair with was Michelle McCool. Undertaker's now wife. She divorced her husband in 06 around the time she was sleeping with Chris but Chris didn't leave his wife for her. So, she went to taker which was a rebound relationship. LOL. Because her career was gonna be cut ALLEGEDLY. So, it was said. That's why she got with tAKER. She is only with him because of his money. (My opinion) She settled because her option Chirs wouldn't leave his wife. LMBO
@@niaedmonds3342 whaaaaaaaaaaaat?! I’ve never heard of that! I never liked her! If she’s in the HOF, I belong there, too! Where did you hear this? That it was Michelle, I mean.
I remember when this happened. Shocking. So sad and tragic. Another case where the wife leaves or files but goes back. Never go back with someone violent and on drug's. Goodness. So tragic! I couldn't live in that house. Thank you for story. I didn't hear alot of it before. Take care.
I had recently graduated HS and got a job in hopes of saving up enough money to attend my first WWE event (Benoit was one of my all-time favorites and was one of the wrestlers I most wanted to see). A few weeks later this happened. I remember how crazy it blew up all over the news and put a bad spotlight on wrestling. Even (almost) 15 years later it's still a haunting story.
Great video Scott, it was for sure a terrible tragedy. As always you brought this to us in a respectful manner as well. As always safe travels and p.s Our daughter Freya you met at mad monster says hello.
As usual, THANK YOU, Scott. another well done video.I am a wrestling fan of the earlier days, and was interested in seeing this. Such a sad story, but at least they know what really happened, and not a cold case.. Look forward to upcoming videos..
This was one of the hardest things I had to witness when they released about what happened. I was heartbroken hearing Benoit died. But once I learned what he did. My heart hurt more for Nancy and Daniel
I love your crime videos... These are what got me linked to your channel!! You can also tell a good backstory. Excellent.. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍 btw... You know there's got to be darkness in that house. It almost looked creepy. Nice, but creepy!
Benoit was always one of my favorites he was the greatest technical Wrestler I've ever seen the entire story is just so tragic I believe he wasn't in his right mind with the CTE being so severe and after Eddie Guerrero died he went down hill fast
I didn't hear about their deaths until Mr. McMahon announced it that night on Raw. There was nothing on Facebook, or UA-cam about it. May never why that happened
I met Chris, Nancy, Daniel and Chris’s parents about a year before the tragedy.
To say I was shocked would be an understatement.
I have been lucky enough to meet a few WWE superstars and Chris was by far the kindest.
The way he interacted with Nancy and Daniel, I can’t help but to think how much CTE played into this.
Glad you made it out there, as always, thanks for bringing us with you.
That's shocking!
I know being Canadian In hockey we've had players suffer serious concussions and later take their lives.
It's definitely something that should be more acknowledged by any professional sports that could involve serious head trauma.

Don't forget about Jimmy the superfly snooka.
Wow such a bizarre story. My husband is a big wrestling fan & he remembers the reports of when this happened. What a beautiful home they had, but I don’t understand why people would want to live there after this..
I just thought to myself like damn people are living there now especially after what happened I can’t help but imagine the feeling of trauma and tragedy in the house it just gives that sad and horrific vibe. I couldn’t bear walking into certain areas of the house because we know what happened.
Well apparently they got the house for half the appraised value, so I guess that's a motivating factor. Not enough for me, but I'm sure that contributed
As a kid and a huge WWE fan living in Ohio I remember this story. And as an adult whose life led him to living in Atlanta it's crazy to think I now live 15 minutes from his house.
Thank you Scott. Beautifully filmed!
I’m so sorry for this family. May they Rest In Peace 💙💙💙
The people who now live in the house, don't care if no one was murdered in the house. They feel like it's any other house that is great to live in that town.
Brilliant Scott, This has to be one of my favorites you have done amongst many more, i really love how you told the story, you covered it so well compared to other vids i seen on here, There was a documentry about him here in the UK too, very sad to say the least, im guessing your friends who came along with you flew the drone above the house, i have a drone myself too, it was a good collaboration, very good drone flyers, i love the music you put to the video, very sad and mellow which goes with the video as it was a tragic story, RIP to Nancy and Daniel
I remember when all of this was on the news. And my heart just sunk. Especially for that sweet little boy. And I often wonder if that house is haunted now. Blessings and be safe Scott. 😪💔
Was wondering when you would cover this in a video Scott! Great work handled very well as always!
It's crazy there's actually people who live there now. I wouldn't be able to overcome the eerie feeling of what transpired at the home.
I couldn't either.
some people just dont care... which is also scary
They probably got a good deal
@@S.T.A.L.K.E.R.420 very true that house in that area is a easy couple Mill for what it was bought for was free almost
@@S.T.A.L.K.E.R.420 Sold in August 2009 for $575,000. 6 bedrooms, 6.5 baths, 5380sq. ft., 8.6 acres and a 6 car garage.
Darkest moment in pro wrestling history. I’m grateful Vice covered the Benoit Tragedy on Dark Side of The Ring. We finally got closure, truth and clarity.
Hi Scott. I started watching your UA-cam videos when you did some work with Adam a few weeks ago. It's interesting seeing your more serious side when you do a more thought provoking video like this one. Keep up the great work.
Thank you. I cover a wide range of topics and something like this deserves attention to detail and respect. Thank you so much for watching
Very respectfully done, thanks Scott.
Huge fan of your channel.
Rest in peace to Nancy, Daniel and Chris. He was brain damaged from wrestling and the drugs he took to stay competitive and provide for his family.
Chris could have provided for his family working as an electrician. Ultimately, wrestling killed him and his family.
I agree
@@Svhopowa hold up, tell me more
@@Svhopowa she was cheating ????
His act was evil, but I do not think he was evil. When the mind ( brain 🧠 ) is sick you're not yourself. If we're judging right we could see he needed help that's why he left a Bible next to each body. The story is sad all around....
Amazing video, thank you for covering Chris and his family.
It's amazing how beautiful his home is yet, how dark it looks knowing the back story!
I have a ten year old daughter and I couldn't imagine ever.......
Clearly he had mental health problems.
It's so tragic.
I really wish someone would have spoken to him or saw the signs!
Just tragic.
RIP Benoit family!
Great respect yet again bro!
✌❤
Just goes to show once again you never know what goes on behind closed doors
@@shonacole2124 that's so very true.
Unthinkable
He had somenone to spoke too, he had Eddie Guerrero, but he died, and i think that make him losing is mind even more, if you see here on youtube on eddie's memorial on Raw, how in much pain Chris Benoit is!!!
I think someone else may have done this and set him up. Chavo was in the phone with Chris at the time and said that he heard some one jn the background and shuffling.
@@shonacole2124 The wrestling organizations don't care about the wrestlers, they only care about you making them money which is truly sad.
YES SCOTT..U DID A SUPERB JOB ON THIS VIDEO, again and ALWAYS THANKS for carrying us along with u 👌
This is so sad and tragic. RIP to the Chris, Nancy, and Daniel 🙏
when Chris died i cried like a baby none stop i loved him so bad best world champ
The police found no hard evidence to prove exactly what happened in that house.
The police came up with more questions than answers.
The only reason police closed the case was because they didn't want to deal with it.
I don't know if someone else was involved but multiple statements suggest that it's possible.
As far as I'm concerned this case is still unsolved.
Just remember the entire WWE/WCW locker room repeatedly said how Chris was the locker room peacemaker and voice of reason.
What statements said that it’s possible? Not trying to argue, I’m just genuinely curious
Well said and I agree with your statement ,I think Alot of ppl know or feel the same way . 💯👍
The demons and evil that linger in that home crazy. I definitely would not want to live in a house with that kind of baggage
I wish. Unfortunately there’s nothing. Just a house where people died
We still don't know what exactly happened very weird case.
You're videos are on a whole new levels these days, The drone shots was the icing on the cake! Amazing Job!💚
This was such a tragedy!. My husband was a major fan and took these murders hard, as if he knew them personally. Just goes to show what we dont know about whst goes on behind closed doors. Rest Easy 🌹
You did this video with class and respect and you kept to a point where you focused on the story ✌
Chris Benoit was one of my favorites back in the day, such a tragic story
So sad 😞. You present these videos with such compassion Scott 😞. Music and photography both just stunning. Love love love all that you give us! Cannot wait for more 😔👍😘🥰😍
Rest in peace Chris, Nancy and Daniel such a sad tragic story 😢 🙏
I can’t believe June will mark 15 years since this incident. I was Daniel’s age when this occurred. How scary, he was so innocent.
Yasss! 👏🏼 I was wondering if you were going to cover this! I’m so glad you did I’m a huuuuuugeeee wrestling fan - I remember when this happened this was such a big deal! He was an excellent wrestler - it’s such a shame. I still find this story fascinating- I feel absolutely horrible for Nancy and Daniel. This still gets to me everytime watch things on it. Thank you for this and all your hard work🙏🏻💘
Wow amazing work as always Scott. I remember this like it was yesterday. This & the Owen Hart tragedy are still upsetting to this day
I went out there in 2019 it’s really hard to get to.
I can never forget this. I was, like so many of us, a huge fan. So sad. Respectfully done.
I remember when this all happened so sad, you did a great job with it.
You did a great job, you could tell this was a hard story to tell. Thank you for doing it.
This was truly tragic. In addition to the drugs that were found in his system, I wonder if CTE had played a part in the tragedy. I don't think the test was done because Benoit was found days after his death. RIP to the family.
Not into wrestling, but, you did a great job on this!! Over the top! I remember this happening. Thanks, Scott¡! 😊
I remember when WWE aired an in memoriam for him, with everyone praising him and his accomplishments....then when they found out what happened there like oh shit!
Then, they completely erased him from the WWE. He was no longer mentioned anymore.
Just brutal on the events in 2007. As a former pro wrestling fan, Benoit had it all to be one, if not, the best Canadian wrestler of all time with his uncanny talent, mat skills,e.t.c... Stiil, feels eerie just thinking about it. Excellent video segment Scott. Keep up the good job sir.
This is truly a heartbreaking story especially when their are children involved in a murder case i don't know how someone can do that to their family RIP to the Benoit family I'm so sorry for what happened to you didn't deserve this fly high with the Angels 😇😇
A professor wrestling guy who was on the NBC4 website out here in Los Angeles said that what Chris Benoit did was absolutely monstrous by him. It was terrible what sent him over the edge, especially when his son would turn out to be special needs kids and would that way into adulthood. Nancy his wife in WCW was known as the character named “Woman” with Rick Flair in the mid to late 90’s.
Daniel was NOT a special needs child. This is a rumor that was started, but wasn't true.
@@LadyDragonsblood okay there, Thank You.
If only we knew decades ago what we knew about TBI's and CTE. The dude was 225+ lbs who did a flying headbutt off the top rope for a finisher and probably did it hundreds of times a year for many years. Then add in all that he wrestled in the era notorius for metal chair shots to the head. Stack on years of drug abuse and emotional trauma. Recipe for disaster.
You're videos are amazing! The music is perfect, and haunting. Always look forward to see a new one
My husband got me into wrestling when we started dating in '99..I remember when this happened..I cried,especially for his young son..whom had a disability..people later down the years blamed the fact that Benoit had so many head injuries, that it contributed to his mental illness..don't remember the medical term, but it affects alot of athletes..RIP to Nancy and Daniel..hopefully Chris is getting some kind of peace for his soul on the other side..I know he was deeply affected by Eddie Guerrero's passing about a year or so before that❤
Daniel didn’t have a disability according to his aunt Sandra
@@Jokerizbadass well,the media said he did..I don't know..you can look it up 💁♀️
Such a talented man. He struggled with drug's and other mental health issues. RIP Daniel and Navy. Thank you Scott for sharing this story. Peace Out..
Imagine what his other kids had to go through hearing there father was dead there brother & step mother having been killed by there father such a heartbreaking thing to have to go through for them as well as the rest of there families
Thank you for covering this I remember as a kid seeing the Benoit tribute show and thinking about what happened the weeks later it was horrific
Vince McMahon has said that tribute show was one of his biggest regrets....but at the time, the cause of death had not been announced....so that is why they did the tribute show. Vince said if they had known on that Monday, what had really happened, he never would have done the show.
Great video!
I’ve just listened to Chris & Nancy - The True Story of the Benoit Murder audiobook (on Amazon) it’s the most in depth account of what happened, I was blown away and I thought I knew everything about it beforehand. All the text messages between them both leading up to the event and also that the police found that he was having an affair etc. When the police arrived they couldn’t get in as they didn’t have the key code for the gates and the dogs were going mad, so the neighbour had to jump the fence and take the dogs inside. This only brushes the surface of what’s revealed, highly recommended to anyone following the case.
Wow
Wow! Thanks for the info!
I didn’t know about the affair part, wow!
@@leeparks15 Yep and the woman he was having an affair with was Michelle McCool. Undertaker's now wife. She divorced her husband in 06 around the time she was sleeping with Chris but Chris didn't leave his wife for her. So, she went to taker which was a rebound relationship. LOL. Because her career was gonna be cut ALLEGEDLY. So, it was said. That's why she got with tAKER. She is only with him because of his money. (My opinion) She settled because her option Chirs wouldn't leave his wife. LMBO
@@niaedmonds3342 whaaaaaaaaaaaat?! I’ve never heard of that! I never liked her! If she’s in the HOF, I belong there, too! Where did you hear this? That it was Michelle, I mean.
If he didn't do anything of this he would be in the hall of fame dedicated his honour to Eddie
I remember when this happened. Shocking. So sad and tragic. Another case where the wife leaves or files but goes back. Never go back with someone violent and on drug's. Goodness. So tragic! I couldn't live in that house. Thank you for story. I didn't hear alot of it before. Take care.
Thank you so much Scott for this really appreciate it keep up the good work
I had recently graduated HS and got a job in hopes of saving up enough money to attend my first WWE event (Benoit was one of my all-time favorites and was one of the wrestlers I most wanted to see).
A few weeks later this happened. I remember how crazy it blew up all over the news and put a bad spotlight on wrestling. Even (almost) 15 years later it's still a haunting story.
Great video Scott, it was for sure a terrible tragedy. As always you brought this to us in a respectful manner as well. As always safe travels and p.s Our daughter Freya you met at mad monster says hello.
My dad is a Georgia police officer he was the first at the Benoit crime scene
Wow, he was shocked of what happened that day.
As usual, THANK YOU, Scott. another well done video.I am a wrestling fan of the earlier days, and was interested in seeing this. Such a sad story, but at least they know what really happened, and not a cold case.. Look forward to upcoming videos..
This was one of the hardest things I had to witness when they released about what happened. I was heartbroken hearing Benoit died. But once I learned what he did. My heart hurt more for Nancy and Daniel
This one is difficult. Scott you as always handled it as professional and respectful person. Thank you.
Damn your channel has grown fast
I love your crime videos... These are what got me linked to your channel!! You can also tell a good backstory. Excellent.. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍 btw... You know there's got to be darkness in that house. It almost looked creepy. Nice, but creepy!
Benoit was always one of my favorites he was the greatest technical Wrestler I've ever seen the entire story is just so tragic I believe he wasn't in his right mind with the CTE being so severe and after Eddie Guerrero died he went down hill fast
Absolutely awesome video!!! Great work as usual!!!
my Prayers go out to the Benoit Family! 💯🙏
Thank you for doing this this hits close to home I live in Georgia not far from where this happened it’s such a very sad story
If the wife and child were still around they would very much appreciate this video, can’t believe someone would do that to their own family.
The ones closest to people are who often get hurt the most. It's a sad fact...
I didn't hear about their deaths until Mr. McMahon announced it that night on Raw. There was nothing on Facebook, or UA-cam about it.
May never why that happened
