At 40 years old, Chris Benoit could be one of the most shocking deaths in Professional Wrestling in decades. He was billed as the "The Crippler" for his very tough and aggressive moves, by fans and opponents alike. Though Pro Wrestling is an entertainment venue, there is no doubt that physical endurance standards are high for in ring performance. Chris was one of the BEST, based on technical merit and work ethic.
I was not a huge fan of Benoit, and I feel a little guilty, but I always respected his good solid matches, and his ability to make lesser opponents look really good in the ring, and his physique.
Sadly he was found dead in is Atlanta home with his wife and youngest child. Right now the death is being billed a double murder suicide. So Long Chris, thanks for the memories!
