    Chris Benoit dead

    in UKFF Gold

    Posted

    Someone on the Figure 4 Weekly boards posted a recap. Hidden behind the spoilers:

    Just finished reading this week's (first Observer) and boy is it fascinating.Some interesting points:-Dave confirmed he used a form of the Crippler Crossface on Daniel. This is interesting since Bryan was adamant that the story was bullshit. Apparently investigators found marks on the boys arm and face that they didn't understand and upon watching a tape of a Benoit match and seeing the move it made sense. They just said it was a "choke" as to not further sensationalize an already sensationalized story.-Dave said Bryan was closer to Benoit (he found his writing hilarious) then he was and that Dave hardly ever talked to Chris (while Bryan [in the new F4W newsletter] seemed to indicate semi regular contact). Thought that was interesting as we rib Bryan about getting all his sources through Dave but I never thought he'd have more access to someone like Benoit then Dave.-Benoit got a prescription for the anti-depressant Zoloft (not Xanax) at the doctor's visit on Friday.-Benoit started going downhill after Eddy died because he lost the one guy who he could confide in and shared his problems with. Apparently close friends always knew Benoit had the same problems as Eddy (pills, etc.) and suggested Benoit seriously needed to see a therapist but no one suggested it since he wasn't the type to be open to that sort of thing.-Apparently the death of Johnny Grunge hit Benoit even harder then Eddy since they were neighbors and him and Nancy fighting was somewhat common and he'd be the one to come over and defuse situations and make Chris laugh. After he died, Chris didn't have that buffer when things got out of control.-Chris and Nancy had recently separated for a period of time, and Dave received a change of address form for an apartment different then their house (I believe Bryan mentioned he got a different address too).-Chris recently opened up a new life insurance claim naming his ex-wife and his older 2 kids as the beneficiaries and refused to include Nancy or Daniel.-When there were rumors of him leaving for TNA, Dave asked him about it and Chris was paranoid thinking Dave had inside info that WWE was going to release him. He apparently may have thought ECW was a demotion and the next step would be out the door. He was reportedly obsessed with establishing himself at the HHH/HBK level. He had grown increasingly paranoid that someone was out to get him and didn't let Nancy leave the house at night or Daniel to play outside and would take different routes from the airport home each time in case he was being followed.-Nancy confided to a friend in wrestling days before the murders that she feared for her life and the friend told her to go take Daniel to her parents place in Florida (as she had done before when Chris became violent) but she didn't this time. Apparently she had a lockbox at the bank with notes indicating if something happened to her, it was Chris.-Theory is that she told him she was leaving him for good and taking Daniel and that's when he snapped on her. Loved his son and when she filed for divorce all he wanted was joint custody. Theory is he killed Daniel because in his mind he couldn't bare to let him be alone without his parents and in his condition so it was a "mercy killing".-Someone in WWE informed Dave before the RAW show that Chris had killed them, but others in the company were unaware but at least someone high up knew before the tribute show was put on the air.-Dave says he can't write a proper obit/career retrospect and doesn't know if he ever will.That's all I can think of for now. Pretty heavy stuff. Sounds like Chris always had a violent side, and that all the deaths of close friends combined with heavier drug use really caused him to lose his mind. Sad, sad end to such a fabulous career.

    I feel sick...

    Pretty much everything everyone wanted to know.In all fairness i dont believe Benoit would apply the bloody crossface to his son. I mean that is a wrestling fan rumour gone mental if there ever was one. It's gone from smothered, to choke hold, to crossface. The choke hold rumour was obviously someones idea of saying he's a big bad wrestler and wrestles everyone. I dont believe this stuff. Is it not possible that he would have pinned Daniels arms down and choked him because that seems more realistic to me as much as it saddens me to think about it.If i'm proved wrong i will be amazed but that does seem like something an idiotic wrestling fan would say to his mates and then spiral out of control.

    As bad as all this is i really hope they dont erase Benoit from all memory. As bad as what it is that he's done he has achieved so much and he was a great wrestler and has touched alot of people's lives. I for one hope WWE dont abandoned his memory and legacy as a performer.They dont have to mention him again on TV or PPV but to remove his name from DVDs and remove his merchandise seems very childish and desperate in order to protect themselves.

    Its the one where he ends up almost out of the ring, the nearest side to the commentators. Anyone got a specific date? I checked a website, but cant see where it would happen. RVD vs Cor Von? Ive seen that 8 man extreme rules match and dont remember seeing it then. Was it even further back than this?

    Yeah he definately got pounced in the 8 man hardcore as well.

    The Bret Hart tease. Watch the guy in an Eddie shirt in the bottom right hand corner mark the fuck out at the beginning. They got me good with this too. Very good manipulation of my emotions, boy was I pissed afterwards.

    Anyone have that entire promo by Michaels. He was on fire that night, the crowd was ready to kill him.
    I had goosebumps the first tim ei saw that. Gotta be one of the best crowd responces ever!!
    Then you wanna find the clip of Chris Jericho beating Triple H on RAW back in 2000 for the WWE Championship. Crowd goes fucking mental. Like nothing i've ever seen before anywhere.

    That Y2J video is ace. So is his WWE debut video.Two great video's. Both feature Y2J. Both give us moments that will probably never be created ever again. Shame really. I dont think i have ever seen such a pop - that was bigger than Goldbergs pop. Just look at all the crowd throwing their arms about and dancing. Its ace.

    Brilliant. I really, really wish we could see that Cena now., that was just awesome.
    When Cena was good. He got soooooo over as a heel as you can see in that video yet people were still buying the t-shirts and bringing the Cena signs like you saw at the start of the video. Was a perfect thing they had going there. I hope we see that heel Cena again soon.
