Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 8, 2007 Moderators Posted August 8, 2007 I haven't tried to watch one of his matches since it happened yet, actually... Just don't really feel inclined!The closest I cam was watching the PPV from that weekend, which was wierd, hearing the crowd chant his name, knowing that at that very moment he was hanging in his basement.
Futureal Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Out of curiousity, anyone managed to watch any Benoit matches recently?I tried to get back in the saddle and watch some WWE a few weeks ago, but both my fianc
The Dart Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 I've watched Benoit matches on DVD since it happened. I haven't gone out of my way to watch any though, they've just been on a show I was watching. The closest I cam was watching the PPV from that weekend, which was wierd, hearing the crowd chant his name, knowing that at that very moment he was hanging in his basement.I'd assume the crowd noise has been edited and the MC's announcement of Nitro being Benoit's replacement have been edited on the DVD?
Mab Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 You can still find pics of Benoit on WWE.COM. I noticed a few pics with him in on Teddy Longs profile!

Paid Members seph Posted August 16, 2007 Paid Members Posted August 16, 2007 The latest dirt to come from Fox is that Nancy's mum wants to determine the order that they died so that she can legally claim his inheritance from Benoit's children prior to his marriage with Nancy: Â http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,293391,00.html

In any case, I would have thought Nancy's Mum would have some sympathy for the children that were left behind.
the_whole_dam_show Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 as long as Benoit died last surely she cant have a claim to it. People like that really annoy me, something like this happened in my family and i havent spoken to my brother since the incident, grrrr really makes my blood boil, people just out for themselves, fook everyone else, damn selfish people!!!!!

People like that really annoy me, something like this happened in my family and i havent spoken to my brother since the incident, grrrr really makes my blood boil, people just out for themselves, fook everyone else, damn selfish people!!!!!I can't remember where I read it but according to the law in Georgia, Benoit will automatically be considered to have died first even though he didn't. The idea, I guess being to stop murderers (or their heirs) profiting from their crimes.So with Chris being "dead" the estate would go to Nancy. If she died before Daniel then it would go to him, and then onto his half brother and sister. If Daniel died first it would stay with Nancy and, thus, go to her Parents.While I don't necessarilly agree with what Nancy's family is doing, I do think you are being a bit harsh on them. They have not only lost their Daughter and Grandson under the most appalling circumstances but it's also turned into a massive media story, making it nearly impossible for them to deal with their loss in peace.I don't think their lawsuit will help matters (particularly since it seems clear that Nancy was killed first) but, I've got nothing but sympathy for them, giving what they've been through.
FireBrand Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Just thought take e out of dead in the title of "Chris Benoit Dead" of this thread and wechange things from a horrid tale of blood letting to something for more joyus.

Either way, I don't see why her family feels they are more entitled to his money than his children are. Usually when people do this that have at least some sort of grounds for claim.

Remember, it's them Nancy's parents want to take from. It's a terrible thing for all concerned, but I think it's selfish of them to be thinking of themselves as if they are the only suffering party. They weren't dependant on Chris Benoit's earnings, however, his other children would have been financially supported by him.

They don't need the money to live on, the children do.To be fair, I heard that relations between the Benoit's and the Toffolino's were good prior to this, (Michael Benoit met up with them prior to the funeral of Daniel and Nancy). So, I'd think even if they got all the money they would want to make sure Megan and David would be taken care of. But, it probably doesn't matter because, as mentioned before, they don't really have a case anyway on account of all the evidence that indicates Daniel died after Nancy.
