A CHRIS BENOIT CAREER RETROSPECTIVE 

This reminds me of how strong WWE's mid card used to be with Angle, Benoit, Jericho, Booker T and Guerrero....man what a time.

I'll be the first to say that as wrestler I love Chris Benoit. I met him once, and honestly he was nice guy who was humble. I know the horrors that happened later, but I still prefer to think of the Chris Benoit that I've met.

Kinda odd that to claim ownership they have to acknowledge that he existed

Anyone else tear up hearing Chris talking about Eddie after his death. that got me in the feels

Me & My Grandfather was watching Chris last match on ECW & was blown away with his death considering we only few miles away from the Murder scene.

According to Benoit himself, he didn't get the nickname "The Crippler", until the incident with Sabu. Woman was so HOT!

He was a great wrestler. He killed his family which was awful and the fact that his brain was so deteriorated he probably didn't know what he was doing. Makes the whole story unbelievably heartbreaking

RIP Chris Benoit, One of the greatest pro wrestlers to ever enter the ring .

Watching some old WWE DVD the warning brings up Chris Benoit fracturing his spinal column

Damn... that picture on the right almost leads me to suspect my cousin is Benoits bastard son... which considering WWE has been to Saskatoon NUMEROUS times.... is entirely possible!

Please no heat he is still my favorite wrestler

He faced Eddie 1 more time after one night stand on an episode of smackdown.

I forgot how strong his Canadian accent was.

Teasing a video for next year? Damn now that's what I call long term booking.

Someone download this so it is not complete deleted of the internet

The Hart/Benoit match was a classic

Thanks for this video man. Benoit was my #1 favorite as a child, so you can imagine how shook and conflicted I was when, well y'know. It's good to have something like this to show anyone who wasn't there, so they can at least get a sense of why I was so fascinated with him.

I really enjoyed watching Chris Benoit in the ring. He was so impressive. The tragedy that bestowed his family is truly that of a nightmare. Chris is a classic example of why concussions, head trauma, and mental illness are serious matters in society. I've sadly suffered many serious concussions and it's affected my day to day life. I can only imagine how the trauma to his brain impacted his actions. Please note.... This is not a defense for his actions, but rather a continued outcry for brain trauma awareness.

One of my ALL-TIME favorites and one of the ALL-TIME BEST WRESTLERS!

Early to mid 2000s smackdown was the best

I hope I can become as good a father as him.

He was one of my favorite Wrestlers. I loved that he never backed down no matter how big his opponent was.

That tribute video to Eddie... Man that shyt made me tear up something serious! Man......

I think Kevin Sullivan didn't want to pay alimony so he pushed his wife on Chris.

Kurt vs Chris was my favorite feud and one of my favorite teams. They just went good together.

I’m about to download this video before WWE takes it down.

I remember getting to meet Chris and a lot of other wrestlers back in 1997, 98, 99 and 2000 and being a child at the time. I still got this overwhelming presence of something dark. Not saying by any means that i could foresee into the future. Just saying that he was a very quiet and polarizing individual whom could probably really hurt anyone and everyone that crossed his path and or rubbed him the wrong way at each of the WCW house shows i was blessed enough to attend. Thank God Tori Willson was there everytime :)

4:19 "look at the adjective, play"

Hell of a worker. Truly talented and committed to the craft. I won’t comment on anything outside the ring.

TLC 3 might actually be the best TLC match, it's so good...

That intro was beautiful! Veetard 4 Life!

Smackdown in that era was ludicrously stacked. Benoit, Eddie and Chavo Guerrero, Angle, Lesnar, Mysterio, Undertaker and Edge.

Thumbnail gives me nightmares

Yes. The inter-nintal contal title is the 2nd most glorious title I could imagine.

I used to be a big fan of WWE as kid to my late teens. Eddie, Chris and Triple H, were my favorite wrestlers. I never warmed up to Hogan, Lesnar, Undertaker, Batista etc and lost intrest to wrestling once we lost Eddie and Benoit.. even though I still tuned in to watch matches of HHH, I just didnt have the same fire without Eddie and Benoit

To this day too many suspicious things around his death to ever think he killed himself one of the greatest of all times

Try to upload it on dailymotion on smth like that, it's really hard to watch a video in this setting :/

Thank you for this video. I know a lot of fans were Eddie guys but Benoit was one of my favorites so this was a nice career highlight of the great/legendary in ring performer he was. I miss them both

2005 Royal rumble was the best royal rumble and his best performance.

I LOVED him when I was growing up. I still do. When I got into WCW, he and Sting were my first two favorite wrestlers there! RIP Chris, Nancy, Daniel.

Thank you very much for this informing and entertaining video. Now I have some context when my boyfriend starts talking about attitude era wrestling.

I remember watching that wrestle mania because Benoit and Guerrero along with Jericho was me and my cousins favorite wrestlers

Despite what I think of Benoit now, the part about Eddie was heartbreaking!

Benoit was a tough SOB!

Fuck man. Such a sad situation. Heinous acts, by a truly unwell individual, with legitimate brain damage, yes he's responsible for those actions, but you can't help but feel deeply saddened by his loss of cognitive function as a result of his passion for the business. His matches with Jericho and Guerrero and Angle were insane, some of the best I've ever seen. Fucking sucks what he did, those matches will never be the same now.

Now I'm just sad again :( Good video though.

Did Vee eventually talk about the benoit murders in a video?

He would have been a 100 percent hall of famer pre 2007

Yeah I was really looking forward to the Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero match at one night stand. And it was so disappointing compared to what they could’ve put on.

The crippler crossface was so sick...always looked like he was gonna snap a foo back! Long live toothless aggression!

Great work on this video. I used to own the old school Hard Knocks Benoit DVD. After he killed his family and himself I haven't watched it since.

Thumbnail is Benoit in a nutshell

One of the best of all time, put him in the HoF once the truth of him being innocent is proven, spoken for truth, watch it happen!

It's vince fault too. Time and time again he treats a lot of his wrestlers like shit, like an expendable asset. They put their bodies on the line, mix so many chemicals to keep going and then what? He swept that scandal under the rug, and no one said shit cause they afraid to lose job. After what Chris did, plenty of wrestlers like Booker T or Kurt Angle had to take a break. Checking on your workers mental state is necessary.

Chris Benoit WAS NOT CALLED DYNAMITE in Stampede Wrestling. I saw Benoit from his first Match in Stampede to his last match there. I live in the heart of the old Stampede Wrestling Territory

Man, I wish we could've got Benoit help, then we could save everyone, I hope they're all in a Better place.

That fan at 9:07 got that sexiest feel of Chris ever lol

Who else thinks Chris Benoits entrance music should of been WCW DEATH MARCH,, that rey mysterio had and zodiac. I think it would of been perfect for chris.

Man this video had me in my feelings

This video was a bit too meme filled for my tastes, but quite enjoyable no less. Long live Chris Benoit 🤘🏻

awkward? more like stale acting even for early 2000s

8:34 Man, Kevin Sullivan used to be a big deal during the 70's especially his feud with guys like Dusty Rhodes, I guess that Dungeon of Doom storyline made him a joke to wrestling fans

That reference from toy story tho

Technically Sullivan was the one who booked Benoit to win the belt if you watch shoots by Sullivan.

I am still looking to the second part to this since I saw you made the original video, I remember being a kid when I header what happen to Chris Benoit then he was stricken from the WWE when they found out what happen

I almost cried seeing Chris reduced to a sobbing mess, I hate that, he did a terrible thing, but I feel so bad

1) Hart should have never sold Stampede Wrestling to Vince 2) Remember that Benoit tapped out to John Cena's mighty STFU.

Vee do you think that your ex will be into me... asking for a friend

4:31 Chris vs Tazz

I seperate the art from the person and with that Chris Beniot is in my top 5

Chris Beniot was such a dope ass wrestler. His matches against Kurt Angle were legit some of the best.

Benoit, Eddie, ruthless aggression brock, and angle made there in ring work look so real the way wrestled and told the story I miss the good ol days you don't know what you got till it's gone

In seriousness, I dont think Chris killed Nancy or their son, or himself for that matter. I don't wanna blame Kevin Sullivan but it is kinda weird that Nancy was killed on what would have been her and Kevin's anniversary, and someone posted that Nancy was dead in Wikipedia before anyone had found out about the murders. I just don't think Chris did it..

don't stop with the references, they are great

Momma Mia here we go again

I fucking loved Edge and Christians song at the beginning.

I am a benoit fan but i cringe everytime I watch one of his matches and he does a flying headbutt even if it connects or not

It’s back up!!!!🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

HBM!HBM!HBM!

The difference between GNR and Triple Threat is that Triple Threat got great talent to replace Benoit and Malenko.

Chris is in my top 3 of my favorites even though the tragedy happened I still count him amongst some of the best in wrestling

I think Angle and Benoit are the only legit guys that could give Brock a run for his money if it was an actual wrestling contest.

The soap 🧼 deal was great. I remember it so clearly because it wwas aweek or so before I got to go to judgment day 2005, live and in color.

He got so choked up over his families death

Chris is the truth

There’s a story that often gets overlooked and that’s the fact that Cris was talking to another wrestling buddy right before he “killed” his whole family and that was Chavo Guerrero who said that “someone is at his door” then later kills his whole family? Had no mental issues or signs of anything? No not buying it. Chris was beefing with one of the higher ups and they killed his legacy

Holy shit most of this i didn't know

Whoa that Chris's interview on Eddie was very very real. I could feel it. Not good to show such emotions, wwe team did bad there...Man genuinely lost his best friend there...Rest in peace, you, troubled soul.

Do you think Kevin possibly framed Chris?

Chris Ben-WAH!

This dude was one my favourite wrestlers. When i saw the news of what he did it broke me abit.

Are you going to do a video about Chris as The Pegasus Kid

Why did they keep taking this down (or do they do that with all your vids?)

I actually thought that little bit with Angle and Benoit was hilarious and one of his better on screen interactions. That stuck out in my mind even to this day while watching this video. When Benoit mockingly says "well I'm going to take it out on you" made me laugh so hard. Honestly people act like he was the worst person EVER on the mic...Brock Lesnar was SO SO SO much worse, it's not even a comparison. There are probably at least 5-10 people I can name that were way worse than Benoit ever was on the mic. This is especially true when paired with people like Angle, Edge, Chris Jericho and Guerrero (all people he was legit friends with).

The mayer of Supplex-city.

my favourite Wrestler of All Time, hope WWE forgives and forgets about what happened in that faithful night but rather to acknowledge Chris Benoit the Wrestler. Hopefully he is inducted into the Hall if Fame or maybe a little recognition could do.

Never noticed, but Benoit has really short arms

Can anyone tell me where I would be able to watch every match mentioned in this video?

10:35 *sigh* and Mongo...

This was a good video I liked his style in the ring.
