I had a grandmother who had advanced dementia. Thankfully, she wasn't as physically capable as Chris Benoit was, but towards the end of her life, she was becoming increasingly confrontational, belligerent, confused and mentally draining to deal with. If she was as physically capable as him, I fear she may have becoming a similar danger. Gram also had a rough upbringing, which I question if Benoit did as well, hence some of his behavior before a lot of the concussions and the tragic end. She abused my mother to no end when my mom was growing up, similar to Benoit bullying and hazing other wrestlers. In both cases, the dementia/brain damage only compounded those issues to create a living nightmare. What a shame, in the end. What Chris Benoit ultimately did is unforgivable and could have potentially been avoided with enough precautions. In Gram's case, at least she got the release from her suffering 5 years ago, and our family has recovered from it since. Benoit's family may never truly recover, though.

Benoit never mentioned any abuse as a child, but he had been using the flying headbutt for almost a decade before he arrived in the WWE.

Also not to mention Nancy got mad on his parents for not been there for her in need when she had her surgery done and keep in mind she never had a single kid before she gived birth to Daniel and if I may add Chris was her 3rd husband. Does that also raise a question is it really all Chris's foult.

I remember being an 8 year old kid and referring to Chris Benoit as "the wrestler that looks like a fridge". He was extremely large (muscle wise) for a guy with short arms and was barely touching 5"11. He grew on me and ended up becoming one of my all time favourite wrestlers, but when the tragedy happened - selfishly, all I could think about was "damn, no more Benoit matches and no hall of fame induction". Nowadays, I'm fully in the camp of "Nah, fuck that guy. Nancy deserves to be in the hall of fame." I can still enjoy watching Chris Benoit matches, purely for nostalgia reasons, but also I can acknowledge that even though the guy was suffering and had issues which I can understand, I can't sympathise with any man who murders his wife and young child. He brutalised Nancy to death, cruelly suffocated his son, but yet he took the time to place a towel around his own neck so he could be more comfortable when he took his own life? Thanks for the memories and all that, but fuck Chris Benoit. RIP Nancy & Daniel.

He kept her drugged up for two days before killing her, and had pleasant conversations with his friends trying to get them to be the ones that found them while he was doing it.

As I understand it, this was some years prior and was anomalous, not recurring, whch is why what eventually happened came out of the blue and was deemed uncharacteristic of the man.

Chris nearing the end had stares that were like off in the distance, not even really seeing the person in front of him. That's when I knew something was wrong. And going back and rewatching those episodes, its clear as day. He was way off. Those headbutts he took, finding out those were real made question why Vince and other authority figures didn't stop him. Like today, they stop wrestlers from doing certain things so that another Benoit tradgedy doesn't repeat or worse. Daniel Bryan spoke about it which led to him leaving, though they were right in stopping him from harming himself. It shouldn't take an event like this to wake up. Wrestling was rough back then and it shouldn't have been. I feel like Benoit was crying out for help but it fell on deaf ears.

Chris may have been 'odd' or 'off' but you can easily push that to the side as "Oh well that was Chris just being Chris." Some people are just a little bit strange you know? But knowing what we know now its terrifying to think about all the things that was going on inside of him. Also, i remember hearing that even if Chris didn't do what he did. He would have still died. His heart was in horrific condition. So combine that with his brain being incredibly damaged... Game over. Chris was done regardless. You know i remember being woken up early in the morning by mom and brother and seeing on the news that Chris and his family was dead. It was shocking. So incredibly hard to believe, especially since we just saw him face Elijah Burke on ECW earlier that week. Crazy. I'm just glad that WWE and the wrestling world in general is in a much better place.

Good video. I was sceptical at first. I think it is that he had some kind of inferiority because he was bullied before and maybe autism. That's why he needed this self made values in order to feel better and to classify everything. His absolutely insane drive, self punishment and tunnel vision speaks for that. What happened to his brain and his behavior, for me, is 50 % of these problems, that he carried for so long plus 50 % of the head traumas and drug usage, that progressed everything further. You easily underestimate the bad experiences you have in your early life. People deal differently with them. And he chose that way of self fulfillment at all cost, probably knowing, that it is suicidal. to clarify: I'm not a psychologist nor do I know, that that's, what was going on with him. I just can relate very well to that, because I have these issues, and saw him and his mindset as a role model. I thought that if he can do it, I can do it as well. "Oh I don't need to talk, I don't need to react, but I still can be a role model." I think people with the same issues recognize each other. I can relate to the feeling of losing everything and keep on going and push even more and try to be the best. But in the end, you're gonna get caught, because your issues stay. You can try and do as much as you want, have success, a family, doesn't matter. You feel like a piece of shit and the only thing, that keeps you going are your values and rules and things you put your mind to. But with a traumatized and injured brain, a severe depression, this self imposed pressure and his job as a top level performer, there's no way you are gonna hold up.

The main thing that bugs me about this tragedy is that his brain "was that of an 80 year old alzheimers patient." Yet not one of his colleagues ever mentioned Chris forgetting dates, addresses, wrestling spots, names, etc. ANYTHING that would show such a severe cognitive decline. It doesn't make sense. People that far gone are confused, wander, dont remember names, cant remember dates, can't remember people they've spoken to literally an hour before, etc. If his brain was that far gone how did he have the cognitive function to remember where he lived, remember where to go to wrestle, remember spots during a match, and talk to Chavo coherently? Ive worked with alzheimers patients in my previous career and it is impossible for them to function daily. They need 24/7 care. Yet we're supposed to believe Chris was that far gone and coherent enough to carry out each act? The investigation was also questionable. There are too many questions that sadly we'll probably never get the answers to.

I guess there's a difference between having a brain that is similar to an 80 year old Alzheimer's patient and actually having Alzheimer while being 80 years old. They never concluded that he had Alzheimer, the studies only show that his brain was severely damaged, due to multiple concussions and drug abuse. I just seriously doubt that he wasn't into other drugs besides steroids. And I think the WWE puts a lot of work to cover the fact that wrestlers use recreational drugs to help them carry out the long business hours, serious hazards and public pressure they face in their time at the company. So they try to lean you to look at steroids abuse, because that is somewhat acceptable in society, due to sports like bodybuilding being normal. If you take away the over work, you take away most of their money.

My guess was that it wasn't gradual deterioration like Alzheimer's, but more of instant and constant brain damage physically (headbutts, chair shots, slamming on the head and neck area) and mentally (stress, CTE, bipolar disorder symptoms, paranoia, heavy medication, steroids, lack of sleep etc.). Way different than a severe illness like Alzheimer's.

Education about performance enhancers wouldve prevented it along with CTE awareness, they can in the future. Benoit was at risk of heart failure as well as having heavy brain damage which is ultimately the cause, but not without having a temper and a controlling behaviour, the stories of him bullying others and taking things too seriously are big red flags for someone who has very underdeveloped emotions, it is of course the case with Benoit, the way he projected his lack of emotional development was to live in delusions of grandeur about it essentially reversing the real position and convincing himself that he had incredibly developed emotions and projecting it like Vince did becoming caring and patient with things that their mind could correlate with their complex about emotional stability, if your grandmother was terminally ill they would take the time to be decent and caring, and in doing so kept their delusions in place. It isnt real empathy its like a celebrity throwing money at a charity they never cared about but could, any investment is brand new, a place where underdeveloped emotions dont appear the most infantile thing because everyone starts equal in a new experience. Their lack of emotions appears to be a really strong stable mindset but its from a lack of emotion development, stable and strong a bit like a psychopath but with some small real emotion because he wasnt a psycho he was just underdeveloped emotionally, in his charitable moments it wouldve allowed himself a bit of freedom to show some emotion because while they were being the good guy they had no need to hide their emotional state so it was actually good for him to do that and in some part genuine too but the big point is its all bound to a mental complex like an inferiority complex projecting a forced superiority even though the opposite is true. Benoit had a white knight complex, used charitable moments to avoid and excuse actual development. A huge ego but one that would sacrifice their own health and have great courage to try and live up to it, not so much a narcissist thats the difference, he wasnt the same as Vince. When people do that they spend a LOT of time not using their emotions they take on and develop behaviours that their state of mind reflects, psychopathic behaviours (literally meaning emotionless, not evil) nothing to remind them to relax and balance themselves all forward motion all focus, the more someone focusses the more ignorant they are to that which they arent focussed on, they forget the bigger picture they forget what love is but they use love as a defence and they get very angry with it because their reality is distanced from it. All work and no play makes Chris Benoit a dull boy. A white knight is a "Shining" example. Brain damage will seriously impair someone functions Benoit had a lot of loud arguments with his wife and had headaches in the weeks leading up to the tragedy, brain damage potentially gave him a low enough mood to start arguing, raging at the slightest thing. An example of how CTE can affect a combat sports athlete: Gary Goodridge former armwrestling champion of the world, K1 and MMA competitor has significant CTE, during a get together with friends he did some shadow boxing and then like a switch had been flipped (from the muscle memory) forgot where he was and what he was doing and thought he was back in the K1 ring in the middle of a pro fight and hurt the other guy by going hard, didnt realize it. As soon as Chris put his hands on his wife he mightve snapped into thinking he was fighting and gone too far. He probably felt a ton of guilt but sadly his guilt wouldve been bound to his delusions of grandeur and seeing himself drowning he took down his whole ship which is itself another delusion of grandeur. Had his CTE been recognized and treated he wouldve most likely died of heart failure anyway a few months later, tragedy unavoidable really. Wrestlers shouldve been educated better in performance enhancers, it can be done safely but in most sports its illegal and those who use it which is practically everyone dont have the education to go with it that they otherwise would if it was legal and accepted as normal in sports. Not a stable man not a good role model, but its possible that the only evil he was culpable for and calculated was taking his sons life, the accounts of him being a good person friendly and a family man in the years before it were likely true and not an act. Reports say that Chris had got back from receiving steroids from his doctor that day, Nancy wouldve become aware of the risks when Eddie passed away and wouldve become increasingly concerned seeing the same health risks in what Chris was doing and seeing them worsen, they wouldve been arguing all the time about it. So one thing that wouldnt prevent any of it was people caring about him seeing his decline and making the time to try and help and support him, they did and Chris kept going, wouldnt answer phones even though he listened to every answerphone message left about 20 seconds after the call ended , plenty of people cared and it made no difference in the end, his emotional side that it wouldve made a difference to was too hidden away it had lost control by then, and its most likely because he knew physically he was going to end up like Eddie, like a smoker who realizes it gave them cancer and they keep smoking because they are too proud of their own delusional standards to change anything, they happily sacrifice their own health. After going down a few rabbit holes about the Benoit tragedy this is my take on it.

Thank you for posting this important video! I am a middle-aged female fan of wrestling and Benoit's story always leaves me triggered on many levels. I live with CPTSD in a result of unfortunate situations, including being a victim of abuse. I could say a lot about not-so- obvious-features of abusive people. One of them is insane perfectionism. Perfectionism sounds harmless, but I had a (female) friend who couldn't tolerate any mistake in herself first, and then she started to target other people for supposed "mistakes". She seems to be a good professional, she is clearly talented in her profession, but once you fail her impossible standards, you must "get what you deserve". She knows what I was through, and once I "failed", she did something awful to pull all the emotional triggers of my CPTSD to the max. In a result I ended up at the emergency doc's visit with AFib symptoms. I was sure I was dying. Even the doctor asked me what on Earth happened, because he never saw such a drastic physical reaction to fear. All my friends got informed about my emergency situation, her included. She was the only person who never reacted to it. Never asked me how I was doing, what the doc said. My other friend was the one who noticed it. And she said that she was more than certain, that what was done to me by that other "friend" to trigger my extreme fears wasn't a coincidence. She did it on purpose. It was so shocking, because I new this person for about 3 years, and she always seemed to be empathic and kind. I cut all contact with her immediately. Luckily, we live in different countries, so she can be avoided, but I learned my lesson! I don't care why she did it. Is it her broken personality or some brain illness or whatever... I don't need to know. I know my life is my top priority and I won't risk being in touch with a person who already proved she cannot be trusted. The whole situation between The Miz and Benoit in a locker room.... guys, never ever understimate such situations! "Oh, maybe the guy had just a bad day..." . We all have bad days, folks. But we don't react out of proportion. Reacting with anger out of proportion is always a very bad sign. It doesn't matter what causes such a shift in behaviour. The second real-life thing I experienced is my grandfather's attacks of rage. He was suffering from some sort of brain dysfunction in the older age (he died at 82). I guess it was a mix of a brain injury he had as a youngster ( a tile fell from the roof and broke a bone in his skull) and Alzheimers.At one point he wanted to kill me with an axe or a hammer, I don't remember it too well, I was around 13 years old. I loved and still love my grandpa now when he's gone, but he was dangerous at some point and living with him was a constant danger to everyone. So I guess the tragedy of Benoit was a terrible mix of his perfectionism and ambitions, repetitive physical injuries and use of steroids. And the common denominator, a driver is perfectionism. Could the crime be prevented? We will never know the answer. Just think of my former perfectionist friend's punitive reaction to me "failing" her expectations. It could kill me. So the question is: if Benoit was clear (no steroids use) and if he didn't have multiple concussions, would he still be aggressive / hostile? In theory, he might be still "too ambitious" and he might be driven to achieve success at any price. Including tormenting his "nearests and dearests". That would be the case of my ex boyfriend. He competes in one discipline, and his life revolves about his obsession to win a gold medal in it. And for sure he's a perfectionist (without a talent, but still). A woman he is with should agree to be a mere "addition" to his life. No expectations, no quality time together... she should worship him and be his housekeeper, while he is chasing his dreams of being a champion. And whoever refuses to be treated this way ,may expect not so nice behaviours, so to speak. That guy never had a brain injury, never took steroids. My advice : avoid like a plague people, who dream of a gggrrreeeat success at any price. Because you will be the one who will pay the price one way or another.

I, like many of you watching this video, lived through this tragedy. It's been, what, fifteen years, since this sad case occurred. I understand people want to know what really happened over the course of this weekend. We all wish we could figure out what went into the plotting and execution of this sick situation. The reality is no one, not the greatest psychologist, detective, or fan boy, truly piece these events together in a rational way. We analyze it until we are blue in the face to try to prevent it from happening again. Unfortunately it will happen again, be it a doctor, fireman, or a banker. I guess what I'm trying to say is that videos like this, while entertaining, repeat stuff that most of us already know. I think it all focuses on the perpetrator more than the innocent victims in all this. Never forget Nancy and David.

I have done some research on this as well and found what could be partial the breaking point. At the time ECW was trying to become a new brand under WWE. When I watched the show when it originally aired, I assume they had wrote that he would go look at the belt and act as if he wanted to be champion. He walked to the belt that was vacant. Looked as if he didn't care very much about it and walked away. Kinda glided his hand on it for a moment. To me, this told me he didn't want to be on the show. He had no energy for this belt like he would have on Raw. Not long after was the incident. I found a interview with Kurt Angle on beyond the ropes and he pretty much confirmed this without saying anything about it. Vince wanted Kurt to be the top guy on ECW and told him it was a lot less money. Kurt quit WWE at that point. We can assume they dropped Benoît's pay drastically as well to be a main draw for ECW until the show did better. This video talks about how he stayed with WWE for the money. I can guess this broke his spirit when they had him on a tiny show with little pay. I bet he felt like his career was coming to a end.

Would anything have changed had the warning signs been spotted? My honest answer: no. Even if Woman (Nancy's old ring name) and Daniel were able to escape, Benoit was pretty much living on borrowed time. A commenter mentioned that Benoit had an enlarged heart, which incidentally, was what did Guerrero in, due to Guerrero's past issues with drugs and booze. Even worse for Benoit, the fact he went to make his selling look as real as possible, that also means he did take the bumps (and subsequent pain) for real. Concussions and CTE are taken more seriously these days, but given Benoit's intense personality, I dare you to tell him to take it easy with the bumps and selling. Guerrero's untimely death simply opened the floodgates, and the consequences led to the tragedy in June of 2007. There is definitely no excusing the heinous actions that happened, but given his physical condition and emotional trauma (certainly not helped with Guerrero's passing), it was only a matter of time before the inevitable happened. Just a shame that Woman and Daniel Benoit had to be caught in this crossfire.

Far before the CTE, Benoit just always sounded like he could be a malicious jerk. People in the wrestling business idolized him because he was good in the ring and projected this repressed macho identity the industry loves but stories in Jericho's first book and like those told here reveal a cold, abusive core. It's about time people start feeling free to criticize his toxic behavior and hold him accountable.

He just put A LOT of pressure on himself, and felt like selling a botched move should result in punishment.

It definitely can cause violent outbursts hallucinations etc. If you have too much protein (eating too many vegetables) too little protein ect it can cause chaos brain bleeds aneurysms etc. My grandmother had brain bleeds and strokes because of too much protein(too many veggies). She had violent outbursts so much so 6 grown men doctors had trouble handing her. My sister had an allergic reaction to medicine- made her hallucinate and jump out a window. Considering Benoits brain during autopsy was like an 80 yr olds it makes sense. Actually im surprised he didn't kill someone in the ring. Having a 80yr old brain in an 40yr old body is a problem. It's putting regular gas in a diesel gas tank. His brain couldn't pump his body fast enough. Combine that with insomnia which makes holes in your brain and chair shots body etc its a matter of time. Cte by itself can cause this.

This video would've been better if the incidents talked about were all directly related to his CTE.
