This and the promo Warrior cut a day before he died are bizarre. A lot of strange things happened around McMahon
9 days.
@@jamiebruner8463 Still close.
McMahon more like MC MURDERER
It was actually the day after Raw in the parking lot leaving the arena.
@@intothedeepstate7491 Mr Warrior, do you want a drink? IT'S FOR FREE
Dang. Matt just knew it once he saw Undertaker and Michelle walked in for the meeting. That is some intuition
Tracy Smothers on Chris Benoit. See it. Michelle McCool was rumoured to be having a fling with Benoit and Nancy knew. Taker would have known. There was enough reason to be murdered...but to involve the whole family makes it sickening.
OPERATION RAW DEAL. FBI. IT WAS AN 18MONTH OPERATION FOR THE STEROID TRADE.
BENOIT WAS FRAMED AND USED.
The biggest clue something was awry was the lack of a 10 bell salute.
also when Benoit died there was no crowd which is also weird asf. but when other wrestlers died there was always a crowd in attendance
A lot of dark fucked up shit is gonna come out when Vince McMahon dies it's weird how he's surrounded by all this death and tragedy
You commented the same thing in another video. Who knows if Chris was murdered by pro assassins
I know right? You'd almost think he is a very high ranking freemason and satanist!
All I can say is R.I.P. Nancy and Daniel.
and chris benoit!! remember baby dustin! remember who brought you into wrestling
@@poodle__ funny how these people don’t blame the company😂
@@ProsodyyBlame the company for another man’s actions? Yeah his brain was fucked but I didn’t know CTE causes you to kill your family.
And Chris … he could’ve had CTE
@@Prosodyy funny how you people blame the company and not the man who committed the crime.
I've spent some time around pro wrestlers and some of the most random insight I've ever heard about the Benoit thing really gives a lot of perspective on it all..... It was awful what he did.
You’ve obviously haven’t spent enough time around wrestlers if you think HE did it 🤦♂️ maybe you should spend more time with hornswoggle. Ignorant
SURE YOU HAVE!!!! I also spent some time drinking with jake the snake Robert’s……….
@@AssClown-wi6og so that's your way of saying you use drugs. I have met more pro wrestlers in probably ever will your lifetime pal. You can't go around with like your and expect to be taken seriously
@@AssClown-wi6og it's not difficult to Believe. If you live in Tampa they're everywhere, a ton of them live in/have property in the area.
@@AssClown-wi6og In wrestling towns wrestlers are everywhere. I lived like 3 miles from OVW and I saw more wrestlers than I can count and I was personal friends with some of the locals. I sat one booth over from Mark Henry and the Bogyman at Waffle House. I stood in line one guy over from Big Show at White Castle.
I remember being in the car and we just arrived in corpus christi and the radio interrupted and said wwe raw has been postponed due to Chris death, I really didn't understand what was really going on but I also didn't know I missed out on seeing vince funeral darn
Must of been awful hearing it, i bet it was really eery around the arena.
RIP Nancy and Daniel
I was a jobber that day and there when it happened. When undertaker and Kane began to cry uncontrollably we knew shit hit the fan!!!! The chose me to substitute to wrestle cm punk that day
See how he pulled his partner back in to the interview Matt’s great 👍🏽
I wonder why the WWE continued with the tribute knowing there was a possibility that he did this. Maybe Vince didn't want to believe that was the case

@@iceburgess461Yea Idk about that
When they were doin the tribute he didn’t kno that Chris was the one that did it why you think afterwards when they found they been doing everything to have ppl forget about him. He was a hell of a wrestler but for sure he did it an now he’ll never be truly recognized like he should
WWE wanted to capitalise on the news and rushed to do the tribute. it was silly
benoit wasn't in his right mind i don't think he knew what he was doing he sat in the house for two days with his wife dead on the floor before killing himself that's sick he was obviously on something
Although WWE has tried to distance itself from Chris Benoit over the years, he was once a huge part of the sport. Plus, his passing helped educate the world about the effects that contact sports can have on someone’s health. Chris had an impressive wrestling career for 22 years and took home several titles in that time.
Even on the night of his passing, Chris was expected to win his third world championship at a WWE event. That moment never came as Chris was found to have taken his own life in June 2007. This came after he took the life of his son and wife. Further research has shown several concussions and damage led Chris to suffer from behavioral issues and dementia.
It's not a sport, lmfao. It's a TV show.
The UFC is a show. Is that not a sport? These guys put their body's on the line with their crazy stunts and life risking maneuvers.
Benoit is definitely missed, best wishes to the survivors. ❤❤❤
@@theuw767Matches with predetermined winners are not a sport.
@@420YakoI don't miss him at all. Speak for yourself.
Rest in peace Nancy and Daniel Benoit
You miss Daniel bro
Mental illness via trauma is a damning thing.
Mental illness iz no excuse 4 what Chris Benoit did
And sadly Nancy and Daniel suffered because of it. Hope they rest in peace.
There's zero evidence that he had any mental illness. Stop making excuses
Are you just going to ignore the fact that Chris's father had his brain tested and came back out that of a 85 year old patient with alzheimers. So I don't what you're talking about him not having a mental illness.
@@granitiser None of that is true. Total media bullshit. Do some actual research if you want to have a conversation.
Chris was so socially weird and distant over the years that it was normal for others to not see any signs. I get it.
But he wasn't with chavo and even he has a hard time understanding why
Well he was a cruel psycho all the time so there was no change to see.
You pulled that out of your ass. Who said he was a deranged psycho before that match? @@redrick8900
Over the years? He was always an introvert. Every wrestler said they didn't see it coming as Benoit was respectful and kind individual. Obviously he proved otherwise
Question is why was Undertaker there? Wasn’t he injured at that time cuz he had to lose the WHC to Edge when he cashed in? Plus what would the gimmick Deadman do at Vince’s fake funeral?
What a tragic event x
2 moments of tragedy that hit me and still to this day many years later stick with me is this Benoit end story, and the Dimebag Darrell murder. It’s a strange feeling knowing now in my adult life that literal genocide happens around the world often, but moments like this stick with me. Not to take anything away from the obvious horrors that happen everywhere. But I guess it goes to show how much the individual can mean to a young person in their life. Not easy to put that thought into words.
Cant wait to hear about the Matt Hardy Murders !
Chris definitely did it. His DNA was found on the cables that Nancy’s body was tied up with. There was only two people’s DNA there, his and Nancy’s. The conspiracies are SUPER goofy.
Yes! I read the report as well and his DNA was also found on the towel he put around his neck before hanging himself in the weight machine. He did it 100%
@@AgustinRamone not true
@@eatyagrandmasgrapes3858 Read the report before speaking.
His own DNA found in his own home means nothing, he lived there, saying that I'm not suggesting someone else was responsible.
@@velissarothefearless5506 Only one other person’s DNA found on a murder victim’s body is significant. We’re not talking about his DNA just being found “in his home”, we’re talking about on his wife’s body.
Interesting, what i want to know is, Was mccool with taker at that point when Chris died, and if so, how long was the relationship at that point, since she was rumored to be having an affair with Benoit, and Nancy found out, which is one of the reasons why Nancy was going to divorce him, but Chris killed everyone before anything happened, I doubt we'll ever find out, cuz taker would've covered for her, since that's his wife, even if she was with Benoit
When did Chris Benoit have an affair with Michell mcool
@@zaibjameel6609 Never. That's all BS.
Just before this tragedy. He even asked another wrestler for Michelle's number. His wife Nancy was suspicious he was cheating with a WWE diva
Chris was BADASS my favorite wrestler at the time
He’s a dead bad ass now
@@Azrael12345 nope, cuz the lord forgives lol
Rip to Chris n his family idk I can't see Chris killing his kid with his own move just sounds fish.
Im sure him and his wife. Got in a heated argument. Drugs and alcohol. Probably involved. And he completely snapped. When a husband kills his wife. It doesn’t Even shock me anymore. It’s happening all the time these days👋
don't insinuate or assume. there were no drugs or alcohol found in Chris' system
@@mikeTHEmanateeThey had left his system by the time he killed himself. Duh.
He had already been beating her.
I wish undertaker, Triple H, Rey Mysterio, and Shawn Michaels would talk about there take on that day because they where injured I have neverheard Shawn talk about Chris Benoit after all these years

Every time someone tells the story of Corpus Christi there is always something different added on to it. Did y’all sign a NDA or something? Just tell us the truth cause nobody will ever stop asking.
There were hundreds of wrestlers in the arena at the time probably told different things so information can get caught up in either true or false.

God damn shame he lost his mind smh
I do not know about that .. there's problems BIG problems with this case .
@@convert313 like what
@@mr.cheese9354 Where's Chris's cell phone ? how does a dead man's cell phone just up and vanish from a property ,from a crime scene,never to be recovered by investigators, the very same cell phone which was recorded as being used alongside Nancy's cell phone just 24hrs prior to Chris supposedly taking his own life? The two cell phones were used to send two text messages simultaneously .
This is just one of many many inconsistencies with this case .
@@mr.cheese9354 Dude, i warn you ..if you start looking into this your gonna find that this was a triple homicide made to look like a 2x homicide-suicide . I think its disgusting how the evidence hasn't been looked again ,the case needs to be re examined , reopened ,100% .
@convert313 apparently the phone was later recovered but not for a while after the initial investigation. Same with his suicide ish note.
There aren't as many problems with the case as people think. Part kf the confusion is the WWE trying to hide the cte stuff, the media already not liking wrestling and trying to spin the steroid case. The often ignored fact that he had previously been put on some experimental pain meds that were shown to cause aggression issues down the line and randomly even after the drug was removed from the system.
Along with some other shit. Like the whole them spinning his son having fragile x syndrome. And the son while not having fragile x syndrome possibly being not the healthiest kid. Technically speaking as a kid I only had asthma and a dental issue, yet I was also part of literal medical studies and had unresearched health issues. I'm gonna guess likely undiagnosed low iron or something like that.
Him and his wife apparently had turbulent marriage and issues. Both had alcohol issues apparently. Among other stresses.
Plus possible added brain injury right before the incident. Along with recent steroid related issues where he was gonna not be able to use them probably but Vince was still making people feel like if you didn't you'd get fired.
Likely fact is. Toxic workplace environment lack of proper safety standards around head hits. Road usage destroying his testicle function and the ridiculously needed levels of trt plus who knows what else. And his best friend dying and the WWE playing it off ass like recreational drugs vs ped and pain killers from the business.
There are still wrestlers out there, that say, they think nancy killed daniel. Chris couldnt handle it. I dont believe this 1 bit, the facts dont lie, but, there are conspiracy theories going round. I think steve austin put it right, benoit as a performer, brilliant. Chris benoit person, good. Chris benoits actions, unforgivable
She died a full day before him.
Life is cruel and unfair. The best stories usually end in tragedy.
Is that Jessica Alba's brother?
I think WWE actually knew what happened or had a good idea what might've happened but opted to run the Benoit tribute show anyway. CTE can cause people to act differently but it doesn't alter your personality. It seems Benoit had issues long before concussions and talk of CTE. Dave Penzer, Justin Roberts, and William Regal all said that he had a dark side. Regal implied it but didn't outright say anything. New Jack said it best, he had a severe brain injured from a cracked skull and he didn't kill his family. Fans will go to great lengths to blame Kevin Sullivan or CTE but the truth is Benoit was mentally disturbed and kept his emotions bottled up. So that powder keg was primed to blow up and short of WWE forcing Benoit to retire before 2007, no one could stop the inevitable.
Cause the inevitable was that he was destined to die sometime soon anyway had he not committed the Murder/suicide…or so I read. Is that right? I saw somewhere that they said his brain was so severely damaged that he didn’t have a long life ahead of him.
@@thafearess1 I believe it was a couple big health issues that would've caused Benoit's death as reported by his autopsy. He had taken steroids and prescription meds along with drinking alcohol to extremes that his heart was enlarged. This is what also killed Eddie Guerrero and ironically would have killed Benoit within a year or two anyway. His brain was so severely damaged that he also could have died from a stroke or aneurysm not even including things like dementia or other complications arising from that damage. Many people close to Chris said he and Nancy had a very volatile relationship and she had filed for divorce before. I believe she confronted him and said she was taking Daniel with her and Benoit snapped. Possibly had been drinking or was drunk on top of being high off of pain meds. It was the perfect storm sitting on top of a powder keg that had been primed to explode for many years. It's just weird that if he had waited and not killed his family and himself, he'd have been dead in a year or two anyway.
Actually it's been noted to alter your personality symptoms of CTE include memory loss, mood swings, personality changes, aggression and paranoia it's also disrupt executive function so Actions and other functions
@@DWtechfan Nancy wasn’t high, she had a therapeutic (normal) level of opioids in her body
Her body was too decomposed for the blood alcohol test to be accurate so we’ll never know about the drunk part
It definti changes your personality
Matt Hardy over the years has been way off the reservation, with a lot of the stuff he has said, this here is a another example,,,,
Why does Jon Alba kinda sound like Bill Clinton 😂🤣
Poor matt. I temember one time he wrestled chris, got put in the crossface and he started bleeding everywhere....
I'm just wondering if the wrestlers knew if Vince wasn't really dead. Imagine the wrestlers on that day preparing for Vince's 'funeral' only for Vince to pop up and being all 'actually jokes lolz' and then says 'hey everyone your fellow colleague Chris Benoit has murdered his wife and son and also offed himself and thats not a joke'.
It must have been a surreal day
hate the man for his actions but Benoit was a huge part of any WWE kid’s childhood. top 5 best performer as a wrestler. but still RIP to Nancy And Daniel💔 Nobody deserves that from who their supposed to be protected by.
I dont understand this charade of “demonizing Benoit soley for the purpose of seeming moral”. Nobody who ever knew him, described him in anyway that would explain this tragedy. So its pretty evident that whatever took place was an anomaly… why cant we just acknowledge that? Whats this obsession with using an opinion of something to make people believe you’re a good person
His sister in law did. It wasn't an anomaly. He had already been beating his wife.
Chris Benoit will always be my favorite professional wrestler of all time!!!
What a coincidence wwe had caskets n flowers all over the place too.
Chris has another son who actually looks like him.from.another marriage
All the morons in the comments section trying to put the full blame onto CTE. Nobody is disputing that he HAD CTE, but it's a question of how much thay affected his actions. And the problem is that people are talking as though Benoit was a husk of a man incapable of rational thought, when in reality literally a matter of days before this happened he was still very much capable of putting together and carrying out complex wrestling matches. His peers said thay he had been normal and they would never have suspected anything like this. And even more importantly, this wasn't a spontaneous action where he did what he did in a single outburst - no, it was significantly after Nancy was murdered that he then made the decision to end Daniel's life, it was a very much considered action. He was a murderer, end of story.
R.I.P Chris Benoit .
Nope.
@@vincesmith2499 to each their own I suppose.
At least Cris got a remembrance show that day before the truth about the Crime came out. . But do we really need to still Blame Cris Benoit and not celebrate his Carreer prior to his mental break down due to CTE leading to this Horrible tragedy?. God bless him and his Family I hope they are all in Heaven together. Cris was a Legend and no one really knows the whole story but we should all find forgiveness for him and celebrate his Carreer even if it is on a smaller level the guy was an incredible talent and entertainer.. and even better Wrestler.
WWE knew the truth before it became public. So they went out of there way to give him that tribute, so when people complain he isn’t in the HOF know that WWE did that tribute show knowing what he did
That guy erased himself from history, fuck him
Yes exactly what I been saying
@@TrailerParkCinderella nope....They absolutely did not know the truth, Vince McMahon said this him self in and interview. They had no idea the circumstances until afterwards..when they knew I'm not sure. But that is why I said that he at least got a tribute before the whole story came out. 🙄 and we should forgive him now.
@@TrailerParkCinderella I saw lots matches between Matt and Chris on youtube
Vince was involved
It's crazy how many of you just blindly believe Chris is guilty with no actual proof he murdered anyone.
Yea dude ..i feel what you say hard ,"if" it was a set up ,how fkn good has it worked getting people to not question the massive holes in this situation ,the case.
They literally say CTE was the main reason he committed the murders to his wife and son. Get over it and stop living in ur own fantasy world where every serial killer is innocent and a hero.
I honestly do not know. I know what's been put out there. I know how it looks and I totally can understand why any and almost everyone believe Chris killed his family. I get it. But for some strange reason so many things just do not seem right, make sense or are even glossed over. I cannot say one way or another but I do know after seeing some of the reports of the investigation,...... I will probably always wonder.
@@8Bitorbust None of it adds up, they say it was premeditated yet hours earlier he's getting the pool cleaned for the summer, enquiring about the family car being sold at the dealership, having a family cook out, then people said he snapped but if he was so enraged why the hell would he start calling around having candid conversations with wwf officials, the aircon was off the entire time even when the police went into the house during sweltering hot days, the dogs weren't in the back enclosure when the police showed up despite what the "last" txt was stating.. So who let them out.
Chris's cell phone missing.. Just yip suicide double homicide both cell phones were used 72 hours prior and noe ones just gone! The unusual manner of how Chris supposedly "killed himself", his neck wasn't snapped and he wasn't hung in a conventual manner, instead he was found slumped whilst he supposedly held weights in each hand to assist killing himself? , the knife obscured under his son Daniel's bed, on and on and on and on it goes, no fingerprints were ever taken during the crime scene investigation.. On and on and on
@@convert313 Oooh! Sounds like someone else read the police report too. Nice! But here's the biggest kicker for me. Even if he snapped or it was premeditated then why in the **** would he use a white cloth around his neck if unless of course vanity was the last thing on his mind. I can only think of one reason a white cloth would be used in that instance and I think we both know why that would be.

Why is the host getting all emotional? Did he know the benoit family personally? I do think we should talk more about this and i dont believe he should be erased. Jimmy snuka wasnt
Snuka may have murdered a woman. He didn't certainly murder a child.
@redrick8900 last time I checked women and children were under the same umbrella one is not worse than the other in my opinion
@@mikehunt8247 Well your opinion is wrong. Killing children is far worse than killing women. Killing women is only slightly worse than killing men. Danial wasn't given the option of whether to go back to live with his father after his father beat his mother. His mother made that dumb decision.
@redrick8900 oh I'm soo sorry I didn't realize you were the guy who got to set the bar. How the fuck would you even know if benoit beat his ex wife or not? Sounds like erroneous speculation to Me. Neither of the people who were killed had a choice Nancy or Daniel and Daniel also idolized his father and wanted nothing more to be with his dad and Nancy. Unless you have Inside info from the benoit family take your bleeding heart liberal crap and shove it. I dont believe chris killed either of them to be honest I think there's alot more to the story

No such evidence. All evidence shows that he did it.
no matter what you say. chris isnt to blame. the amount of years and trauma he took to the head it wasn't chris. there's studies that show psychopaths have a deformed brain and why they kill so many people and over the time chris' brain eventually turned was mashed potato and just lost his marbles. if he was going out hes taking his loved one with him is heartbreaking
also have to remember these guys have concussions for breakfest.
isn't to blame? HAHAHAHAHA
chris benoit is still to this day one of the greatest wrestler ever. is thus a wanna be Cornette nd Conrad podcast? lmao
Not every wrestler has to do a podcast with Conrad.
