Just shut up you snowflake why you talking like chris will read your comment😂plus lex luger himself will agree with Benoit statement watch purplesky11 channel just check it out
@@jackhacks836 not necessarily. The drugs and CTE mess you up. But I guess that means he only had passion for wrestling, and not the lives of his wife and child that he ended.
@@diabolico6668 Luger didn't make Elizabeth do drugs. She chose to. He neither chose to kill her. Benoit on the other hand, bound his wife, murdered her, drugged his son with Xanax, then strangled him. The dude was a legit nutcase. And Luger paid the price with his body, but changed his life completely. So there's that.
Benoit was known as one of the nicest guys in the business. That shows that going nuts could happen to any person with brain issues and no help. That's the actual scary part of this tragedy.
Triple H for sure loved the business and the business only. The Rock, it has been both. HHH could care less about the spotlight; if he cared like Rock did, he would've continued doing movies like Blade 3 every year 😭
@@don8244 yeah, the McMahon Helmsley Era never existed and he didn't book himself as champ for years and he certainly didn't work in 2 or 3 promos a show every single friggin show.... He quit doing movies because he can't act. If he could be as successful or even half as successful in movies as the Rock he would have.
Bret hary is that old bitter man who talks 💩 about everyone now ....no he's not the best ...I find him boring as hell ...as for Benoit, I thought he was one of the best back then but I think his wrestling moves caused a lot of damage to his brain hence the bad Temper he had ( breaking the furniture at his house, domestic violence and obviously the murder suicide of his family) ..Not smart thing to do ...
Luger would agree. But at his zenith, he was 5 times as over compared to Benoit. When he slammed Yokozuna, HUGE. When he racked Hogan during the NWO run, the crowd popped like nothing I'd seen before.
Sorry, have to disagree with you there. There is an argument you can make for whose moments were bigger, but Benoit had some huge moments as well. The Wrestlemania win was huge, the one with Eddie coming out to celebrate. Also, Benoit was more consistently over as a talent I believe, and I don't mean in terms of wrestling ability. Even when Chris hadn't quite made it yet in terms of being The guy, Chris was getting huge pops just from his entrance music coming in alone, and he was very much put at the level of someone who could be competitive with the likes of Triple H, Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar. Even if you argued that Luger's biggest moments were a tad bit more, there is no way you could say that Luger was ever able to sustain it, either in WWF or WCW, and it was by no means 5 times as over as Benoit at any stage
@@njldst2007 Chris Benoit was no way as popular as Lex luger. Benoit was a mid carder at best. Lex luger was a huge star. Benoit was never a draw while Lex luger was a draw.
@@stevanaldape3424 Luger deserved a push more than anybody back then. None of the guys back in the early and mid 90s could be potential draws. Bret and Shawn should have been only Intercontinental and tag title champions. It was Vince mistake to crown them champions and both ended up being one of the worst champions of the 90s almost killing WWF.
Yet Luger is still alive (albeit he went through his fair share of problems) but he seems to be in a good place with his life and happy. If Benoit is an example of where passion gets you, I'd rather be a guy that was in it for the money.
@The Badguy That’s what this entire discussion was about, money. And again, going back to what Gorilla Monsoon said “if you’re in it for anything other than money, you’re in it for the wrong reason”
Benoit became a pro wrestler because as a kid that's what he wanted to be and worked towards it and nothing else. Luger decided to be a pro wrestler because football didn't work out and he saw they made cash.
Lex realized it was business and treated it as such. Chris Benoit was a mark that thought wrestling was an art form, when in reality it’s on the same level as being a clown at a kid’s birthday party.
Don’t disrespect the business. Chris was far from being a fucking mark. He had passion and respected it, yes what he did was unforgivable. He was the possibly the best ever regardless
@@durden2480 not an insult to cb just truth is pro wrestlers aren't anything except stunt performing athletes in a soap opera of physical entertainment. Been a fan 16years and i know the business change so now is a disney family show
He aint wrong...but like it or not, Luger was legit over at the height of WCW's success. Benoit was too, but definetly not drawing houses like the bigger names were. So while it's great that guys like Benoit & Guerrero and his peers were given mainstream exposure, it was still guys like Luger & Hogan who made WCW a mainstream product in the first place. I'd rather watch a Chris Benoit match over a Lex Luger match, but both were integral to WCW in the late 90's.
I see there is a series of RU-vid videos of Benoit talking in front of that same sign. Is this from a real shoot interview? I didn't know he ever did one. Luger was great, but by about 95 when Benoit came along it was at that point just about money. He used to care but he pissed it away just like Benoit did, the only difference being that he didn't kill himself in the process.
They technically broke into the business the same year, though Luger obviously made it big much earlier. Luger only ever cared when he was the focal point, there's a difference
Chris benoit will agree with that it's entertainment he's not a mark who worships himself like bret hart Benoit siad in another interview he lack charisma and character and he always wanted to have a gimmick
So by Beniots definition Bret Hart was all about the 'artistry' and not the money? Riiiiiiiiight. Because we all know Bret Hart would never EVER leave a company he'd been with for years just because another was offering him more money........
+antsman88 Actually Bret Hart was all about wrestling and not about money, just yesterday a trailer for a Scott Hall shoot interview came out and he said that Bret never cared about money but about winning. Bret Hart was forced out of the company, he didn't like the direction they were taking, didn't like how WWE used Owen and was fed up with the bs Shawn Michaels and HHH were pulling. WCW's big money offer was just the icing on the cake.
+antsman88 That's what the Kliq was. Here there saying you can be one or the other. But look at Hall, Nash, HHH, and HBK. For them, it was both. They wanted to make the most money, and wanted to call the shots.
actually wwe offered him a 20 year multi million dollar contract and only took the wcw gig when that contract was pulled off the table because wwe couldn't afford it at the time.
they all wrestle for the money, but this is cut off. the host asked him, if he can be friends with someone that's just in it for money and Benoit said yes but not someone that doesn't respect it.
If you're not in the business for the money, then you're a mark. That isn't to say you can't love what you do, but it's not worth the risk to your body and mind, and in Chris' case all his "art" is going to ge overlooked simply because he decided to go all out until it killed his mind.
accidentally murdered? nah she decided to take drugs and died from it - stop blaming people for your mistakes nobody forced her to take those pills - she did it
