@@benzion8885 Just like blaming Russo for WCW going out of business you are parroting the nonsense about those talent leaving because of Kevin. WCW was going out of business with or without Russo, Time Warner didn't want it and those talent, Benoit, Malenko, Eddie and Saturn were leaving WCW with or without Sullivan having the book or not. Sullivan spent a year putting Benoit over, culminating with him booking Benoit to RETIRE HIM, then 18 months later Sullivan put the belt on Benoit. It was Benoit that took that spot knowing fine well he was going to leave anyway. Who is really the asshole in this situation? Benoit fucked the one guy in WCW that seen him as a top star and went to bat for him in production meetings.

I was working backstage that night as the Assistant Event Coordinator (Chip Burnham was the Event Coordinator/Promoter). Everything Kevin Sullivan said was very accurate about that evening. I did not witness a backstage fight between Sullivan and Benoit. I can not comment on Kevin's family because I never met any of them except Nancy. Security was tighter than normal that evening. Kevin was an outstanding boss and I had the utmost respect for him. I knew Chris up to 2001. He was a gentleman and a very quiet person. I believe Chris had severe brain damage from all the bumps, the inability to cope with his friend's death along with trouble in paradise, and the status of their financial situation. Thank You, Jim and Kevin.

I met Kevin Sullivan last year. My friend and I went to a wrestling seminar instructed by him. Little did we know, we were the only ones without training. The ad said nothing about expecting ring trained wrestlers to show up only. Everyone was asked to go in pairs, and work for 5 minutes. Before it started he talked with us a little, and found out that we never entered the ring before. Because of this, we almost didn't get to try anything, but I wanted my money's worth, so I asked if we could work. Kevin asked permission from the owner, and we got in. Now we're wrestling infront of a dozen wrestlers. We did okay until the final spot where I did a back suplex, and my friend sandbagged. Felt a shock in my spine from that. Kevin said we did fairly good for not having ring experience. Nice guy. Bizarre experience. Felt like a fever dream the next day

You're either a huge mark or oblivious beyond belief to attend a wrestling seminar and not expect you would need prior experience or training.

Kevin said we did fairly good for not having ring experience. Nice guy. " I bet it was the drizzling shits, he was being a nice guy by not pointing that out and I'm sure all the actual workers had a field day telling folks about two untrained goofs coming to the seminar and trying to play wrestler.

That's just storytelling. They wouldn't gonna paint Nancy in a negative light. Even though she had an affair with a married man who had a pregnant wife at home. That eventually broke up the marriage. Or talking about her getting locked up for Domestic Violence in her marriage with Kevin.

@@Wadzillia She was not the doting wife and helpless waif people like to say she was . I don't think its ok to be violent toward anyone but she was known to be a difficult and salty woman who could handle herself . Both Sullivan and Nancy had coke and alcohol problems so it does not suprise me that she and Kevin had a few episodes degrade to violence . Not that I think Sullivan cannot be criticised for that but people assume he was the aggressor when its just as likely if not more to have been guilty .

@ThatsMrMaxHeadroomToYou

Sullivan had nothing to do with that faitful night dude. Chris and Nancy were in an extremely turbulent, erratic and sometimes violent relationship. By the end, they had almost split numerous times but kept together for Daniel's sake. Meanwhile, Chris' brain was the equivalent of mountain porridge by the this point. To boot, he had just lost his best friend the world whilst being directly in the public eye the whole time. That week he completely snapped beyond all reprehension and slipped away from sanity. The comments from Nancy's family, Dean's wife, Jericho and all those involved portray a mindset that they cannot ever accept that a man they loved so much and admired unconditionally could ever do anything as horrendous and unforgivable as what he did that night. Hence, they look for a scapegoat to offset the possibility of reality because the reality and greif facing them cannot compute in their brains. They can't be blamed for their emotions or anger any more than Kevin can. It's such a sad, tragic situation of which the scars will last for a lifetime for all involved.

EDIT: Just got to 1:13:00 and they kind of went over my point so I probably wouldn’t have commented but I commented when Kevin was hit with like 4 different things Sandra said about Kevin lol Kind of sounds like Nancy badmouthed Kevin to Sandra after they broke up, maybe to save face or just come off as the babyface coming out of the breakup. I don’t think she would’ve told her sister that she stabbed Kevin in an argument. So Sandra probably had a vision of Kevin as a real piece of work, because she’s going on whatever Nancy said. I’ve seen a lot of people try to babyface themselves to others after a relationship ends. And I’m not even shitting on Nancy here, it’s just kind of a natural human response. It’s terrible the way everything ended for everyone, a true tragedy. It took away innocent lives, scarred both wrestling fans and non-fans, did an unreal amount of harm to the business at the time, and soiled Benoits career to all of his fans

The story Sullivan tells as far as them being split up prior to her getting with Benoit and all the events around the match in 97 haven't changed since that time. Look at the wrestling newsletters of the time and what was reported was the way Sullivan told it. It seems to me what's at play with the Vice show is the producers had a story they wanted to tell and they cut it, omitted fact checking that contradicted the narrative they needed, and interviewed people who could give them the sound bytes they could use to get what they wanted to present. Even if it wasn't "the whole truth and nothing but". Remember, their job is to put together a compelling show and get ratings so they can get advertisers so they can stay on TV for another season . It's not about any reporters' oath to get the story and uphold the truth. I've seen the way documentary makers work first hand, so always treat them as entertainment and not as gospel truth.

There are quite a few conspiracy related details in this case that haven't really been explained, and they don't necessarily need to be related to Kevin Sullivan. Wish there would be some more serious digging into those things. There were stories of alcohol everywhere, the calls or texts to Chavo, some hints of someone attacking him in tne home being coveyrd through those texts... I think the Greenwich Wiki editor has been explained, if I remember right. It's not crazy to ask questions about those things. It's crazy to believe them without evidence.
@Muesliman467
@Muesliman467 4 года назад
There's no evidence of a home invasion that stands up to a hint of scrutiny. The alcohol could have easily left his system by the time he committed the murders. The texts were odd but Chris wasn't in his right mind and why would an attacker text Benoit's friends rather than just flee the scene? What also gets forgotten is that Chris's browsing history showed he had been looking up ancient resurrection rituals, the last remorseful act of a man realizing the horror of what he had done.
