Update: I posted this prior to the news that Benoit killed his wife and son. This is a horrible story. I will leave this up as a tribute to Benoit’s wrestling
You may have heard the tragic news that WWE wrestler Chris Benoit, his wife, and his son were found dead today. The sheriff’s department has stated that they are investigating the case as a homicide. At BSS our thoughts go out to the entire WWE and Benoit’s 2 other children from a previous marraige.
I’ve watched 4 wrestling events since the start of 2004. 2 of them have been wrestler tributes to 2 of my favorites that really got me down despite my now non-interest in Wrestling. Still I was awed by Benoit’s ability on the show tonight especially when he finally won the World Title after 18 years of striving to be at the top. His reaction was very heartwarming (and my heart doesn’t warm easily) when realized he was at the top of the wrestling world and his embrace with Eddie Guerrero who held the other word title was a great moment. If you had said then that just over 3 years later both Eddie and Benoit would be dead I wouldn’t have believed a word of it. But now both are dead.
Anyways, here are some youtube tributes to Benoit (and I’ll add more to this post tommorow)
