After a hard night, the Rabid Wolverine Chris Benoit wins the Royal Rumble 2004. Did you know that Benoit was the second person that wins the Royal Rumble entering in first? The other person was Shawn Michaels in 1995. Benoit also beat the previous record of Bob Backlund in 1993 as the person who was more time in the Royal Rumble.
Rest in Peace, Chris.

WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT BENOIT'S PAST? HE WAS ONE HELL OF A WRESTLER!

[Ploutac]

@TheWrestlingOracle You know Jack Shit, Benoit was prescribed testosterone as part of a treatment for testosterone replacement therapy and combined whit his steroids had a 70% of causing great distress and had a history of making people imagine things that arnt happening aka hallucination nobody knows what was going through his head when he done what he done but anyone that watched benoit as a kid like myself knew benoit was good at what he done an what happeened doesnt change that. Get Served.

@cmpunkfan34 Chris could have gone to TNA or Japan where there is easier work schedule and better treatment but he chose to stay in the WWE and work full time. WWE is a public company, they had an image to uphold. Look at from the business point of view, not a fan point of view. Benoit wasn't mentioned because it would bring bad image to the WWE and ruined public relations with everyone involved. If you think WWE should mentioned him again, i strongly suggest you need to be on Vince's shoes.

@cmpunkfan34 You're fucking stupid. No matter how good or bad he is in the ring, you can't separate from wrestler to person. The final hours of his life destroyed his reputation. WWE didn't put a gun to Benoit's head and say do what we told you to do. Benoit wanted to take the bumps and work full time despite his knowledge what's going on his body. Heard of god's given free will? It was Benoit's choice and he chose to take a coward's way out. It's not WWE's fault that he committed the acts.

[cmpunkfan34]

As far as Benoit being mentioned goes, they don't have to praise him like he's a WWE Legend (even though he is), but mention his goddamn name! Everyone who ever knew Benoit would tell you about the dedicated wrestler and family man, not the murderer. Even though what he did was horrible, one action does not erase his whole life of passion and dedication. The man was insane, had the brain of an 85 year old dimmentia patient, furthermore it was WWE's fault for alowing him to do such moves.

[cmpunkfan34]

@TheFredster2114, Daniel and Chris have almost the exact same move set man! If you changed DB's kicks to chops, the Benoit family would sue him for copyright infringement. Maybe it is you who needs to check their facts. Watch videos of Lebell lock and Crippler Crossface as well as both superstars doing diving headbuts, you will see no difference.

[Hperman09]

@cmpunkfan34 Stupid, WWE covered him up because Beonit killed his family then to himself. Why mentioned a murderer? You see, WWE was involved in a lot of funding to charities, etc and that Benoit murder-suicide would be a bad publicity to the company. Benoit doesn't need to get mentioned and plus Chris Benoit's father already sued the WWE for not mentioning Chris's name again.

[TheFredster2114]

@cmpunkfan34 No, he doesn't need to get mentioned. WWE tends to stray from controversy, and that's what they've been doing for years now. Yeah, he was a great wrestler, but like you said he did something wrong and Vince would be a stupid fuck if he mentioned the man who caused it.

[TheFredster2114]

@cmpunkfan34 You're the BIGGEST idiot ever!

The Crippler Crossface and the LeBell Lock are two completely different submissions, the L.L. is more painful than the Crossface. Danielson hits the Headbutt completely different than Benoit hit it, his is much safer because he covers his head!

Danielson and Benoit are two completely different wrestlers/people, so know your fuckin' facts before you post.

[cmpunkfan34]

Now WWE is trying to make a new Chris Benoit and his name is Daniel Bryan.

The two use the exact same move sets. DB's finisher is even the Crippler Crossface! And he even uses the Diving Headbut.

The Diving Headbut needs to be a banned move because it's to dangerous for the competitors.

At the very least don't slap Chris Benoit fans in the face by making a whole new one and acting like the real one never existed!

[cmpunkfan34]

The real reason WWE never mentions Benoit, is not really to avoid controversy, but to cover up their own faults.

Benoit had the brain of an 85 year old dimentia patient. Those head injuries came from the Diving Headbut he always did. WWE knew that was an extremely dangerous move, but they let him do it anyway.

[cmpunkfan34]

WWE's attitude toward Chris Benoit totally pisses me off. They try to act like he never existed.

Granted he did kill his wife and kids, but superstars that knew him remember him for being the most dedicated wrestler and a family man. It's not like they never have to mention his name ever again. The man accomplished as much as most Hall of Famers, he's one of the best! He deserves to be mentioned.
