She was like 10 when Benoit died, she really honestly doesn't know wtf she's talking about. Rene said it best some people shouldn't be allowed on social media
Benoit could wrestle circles around most talent today in his sleep. Like you said give him a finish and he'll give you 20, 30 or more. Just built different
I just started to get into (watching) wrestling, i only see entertainers, i barely see actual wrestling. WWE better get their shit ogether because AEW is closing in fast on them.
Jon Moxley was a poor example. Jon Moxley can hang because he came up through the "indies" such as CZW and the like. He can go. What Rene and others are talking about with modern wrestlers is that their schedule is light compared to to the older days. MANY modern wrestlers would not be able to keep up.
Yeah ridiculous right? And in all honesty, most the stuff wrestlers are doing nowadays is doing moves, taking bumbs. That's what they are looking for in a match. But that's not how you should work a match. Can anyone do a 60 min Ironman match like that? People should get out of their seats because of the wrestling. You can perform high risk stuff IN ADDITION. That's the art of it. And in the end people should say that the match had everything. Who can do that today?
The idiot thought calling wrestling a sport was holding it back. Actually it's her dumbassery that makes people laugh at wrestling which is a key factor in why it won't draw properly again like it did decades ago
Benoit didn't need to remember matches. He could call it in the ring, which is something todays wrestlers know nothing about. Funny thing is that this is the only thing she'll be remembered for.

@@ryuride8499 I dont believe he was bad, he did a bad thing there is a difference.

Considering what people know of what brain damage can do to a person and how it can affect behavior how can we say someone is bad or evil?
The same woman who has a fit every time someone criticises her... She should stick to her onlyfans and keep quiet about anything else. She doesn't care about the backlash, the charity stuff is fake virtue signalling because she was called out for speaking nonsense.

@@pk_1 Benoit was the toughest sob in the business despite what happened with the murder and suicide we shouldn't ignore the fact he was one hell of a dam good wrestler. As far as life he is a pos but the concussion were definitely a factor the man had a brain of a 85 year old alzheimers patients. Too many head shots and flying head butts were a factor.
Jordynne Grace was born March 5th 1996, almost two weeks before MJF was born (March 15th 1996). That would make her 10 years old when Chris Benoit died. What the hell does she know about Chris Benoit? Benoit is one of most intense wrestlers I have ever seen. He had Eddie Guerrero's body, Hulk Hogan's muscles, and Macho Man Randy Savage's intensity. That's why nobody wants to sign her and I hope she never goes to AEW. Chris Benoit has more classic matches than she has brain cells regardless of what you think about him. Until Jordynne Grace has memorable matches and actually achieve what Chris did in the business, she should keep her damn mouth shut.
she is either that fucking dumb to believe that Benoit could not hang with todays wrestlers or she wanted the attention so out of all the people from the past to speak about she chooses Benoit. so as soon as people disagree with her she calls them out for defending Benoit to make them look bad. of course everybody is talking about it. she is just a cunt.
Benoit was a master in the ring. He didn't need to do 15 moonsaults 85 super kicks to get a match over. He was technically sound his moves weren't trash bc they meant something (headbutted the neck to apply the crossface, drop kicked the knee to hit a sharpshooter.) He was a believable badass unlike guys like Omega or the mild bucks (lol) Todays wrestlers wouldnt be able to keep up with Benoit. What he did was horrible and unfortunate but as a wrestler he was top 10 best all time.
Exactly you don't need that in a match. Plus in today's wrestling. I like it but sometimes it's just to much and feel like like a lot of moves are being butcher and destroys the value of that move. Like the super kick. The cuter etc. And AEW is actually the worst at this
@@ManikiMPACT nothing means anything anymore. They just get in the ring hit high spot after high spot with 15 false finishes just to have the match end on a DQ... Guys like Benoit and Angle would use the big moves to set up the finish. No finishing move is special anymore bc everyone else does it as a base move. Hits 90 super kicks and his finisher is a claw hold(as an example)... like how fuckin stupid 🤦♂️
Benoit was probably the most believable wrestler I have ever seen. He made everything look real. His feuds with Angle and Booker T were incredible. If you want to hate the man for the crimes he's accused of, that's clearly your choice. But to lie and say he couldn't contend with wrestlers in this generation is ridiculous. He was on a level very few wrestlers have ever achieved and that is undeniable. If he really did murder his family remember this : 😓 Posthumous tests performed on his body determined that, “Benoit’s brain was so severely damaged it resembled the brain of an 85-year-old Alzheimer’s patient.” CTE is a serious brain disease that can cause memory loss, trouble thinking clearly, mood swings, dizziness, trouble speaking, trouble with balance, dementia and suicide.
Bro i like Benoit as a wrestler and he‘s on my Top 5 list but he did. He did delete himself and his family. Yes he wasn‘t in the right frame of mind but still it was heinous what he did.
Thats most of wrestling twitter or twitter communities in general so much egos and negative people on there I stopped networking on there for that reason.
Benoit embodied wrestling since he was a teen. He built his entire life around the sport he loved. I in no way condone what he done. However his career speaks for itself. He was one of the best technical wrestlers there was. The man trained under Stu Hart! In his profession he is a GOAT! R.I.P Nancy and Daniel Benoit
Jordan is an absolute nobody. Benoit is a legend. he will be remembered for influencing a generation of wrestlers. she will be remembered for complaining about fans saying she's fat on Twitter.
Chris Benoit isn't my favorite, but I do give him respect for his abilities and talent in and around the ring. He was a great performer. I'm not overlooking at his mental state of final days of existence, but it goes to show that traumatic brain injuries are no joke!!! Any injury to the delicate brain of a human being needs therapy, both physical and mental therapy to overcome. Unfortunately, because of societys' sexist views towards mens' physical and mental health aren't being addressed, especially in impact professions, like those in sports entertainment. Yes, men are stronger than women physiologically, but mens' health aren't less important when it comes to physical injuries, especially those around the head. Chris Benoit should be a cautionary tale, not something to exploit for personal agenda nonsense. Jordyyne Grace was focused more on tarnishing Benoit, rather than looking up to him as a cautionary tale to those who want to enter this profession to take care of ones' health and to always use safety first. Look up to his abilities, but also acknowledge the negative side the the injuries this form of entertainment can bring to peoples' lives and their families... there are always risks. She didn't do that. This is why there was so much backlash towards her comment. With Benoit it is a touchy subject, because yes he was a great athlete, but let us not forget that he took the lives of his wife and kids and then himself (murder/suicide). Mrs. Grace just went at it all in the wrong way. BTW, I actually made a PPT presentation in 2006 and I used Chris Benoit and a few football players as example of what Traumatic Brain Injury does. He was also included in my final thesis paper on the importance of acknowledging what trauma does to the brain and how educators should factor that in when interacting with students with this type of disabilities. Even now in 2022 we know very little about Traumatic Brain Injury and how even a slight trauma in life can negatively effect how humans rationalize. Rather than demonize the man, he needed help! I never understood the whole Old Gen Vs New Gen mentality... Every generation has its flaws. No one is perfect. We can learn from each other. I ask young students to help me, because I see it in their eyes that they take great pride in helping others and being able to demonstrate their strengths. Rather than see that as a threat, use it to better the situation.
Dynamite Kid paved the way for Chris Benoit, Chris Benoit paved the way for Bryan Danielson. You have to respect the ability those men have and their impact on the business.
Don’t you fucking dare put Daniel Bryan in the same paragraph as Benoit and Dynamite Kid. There’s a reason he was stuck in the indies for over 10 years. Nothing amazing about him at all
With her comments; even if I didn't know what CTE is, it is improper to bring up Benoit in the scope of wrestlers because there are so many people who were his friends and have to live with it and try to decipher it. Let alone us fans. What he did was horrendous, but real friends had to cope with it. Wouldn't be easy. Show some respect and compassion. In ring? Fuck. Anyone today better have their tango shoes on because Chris wouldn't need to rehearse. Rehearsal is a detriment to the current generation, not a knock on him.
Yeah lets show respect and compassion for a person who killed his own child. Sure Benoit didn't show compassion to his own child but who cares right? As long as you think he could fake rassle good nothing else matters.
Benoit would mop the floor with over half of these wrestlers today. He was one of the all time greats in the ring. Some of these guys don't know how to throw a proper punch and they're getting paid millions 😂.
Benoit would seriously make most of today's wrestlers look like complete jokes. The entire AEW locker room except for maybe Bryan and Punk thats for sure. The difference between Benoit and the guys today is that Benoit actually wrestled.
The biggest irony here is that she hates Chris Benoit so much and wants people to forget about him, but went out of her way to bring his name into social media. Thankfully she made an apology.
I hate that everyone demonizes Benoit, yes what he did was inexcusable and unacceptable but they did an autopsy on his brain and it was pretty much mush, I'm not trying to excuse what he did but he wasn't the same man everyone knew and loved in the last moments of his life.
If I was going to point that aspect, I would say he was a great performer who put his work before health to the point that it destroyed him and his family. He should be a cautionary tale to take traumatic brain injury seriously, especially in physical professions, like wrestling, football, soccer, hockey, etc. I agree with what you say 100,000,000% here. Imagine having suffer brain trauma and the moment you can't take it anymore, go insane and everyone says "Look how evil he is?" He wasn't evil!!! HE NEEDED THERAPY AND HELP!!!! The mental health care system in every nation is a JOKE! A pathetic joke!
The fact that his brain was so damaged is an excuse. Would he have done that with a healthy brain? Most likely not, judging from what those who knew him say, I'm confident in saying that he wouldn't have done it with a healthy brain. You can find many examples of people suffering a brain injury far less severe that Chris Benoit's brain and becoming more aggressive, more violent. People act like Benoit is on the same level as someone with a healthy brain who kills because they're just a shit person when that is completely false.
Love you Rene. Glad UR on the right path and pray it continues🙏🏼 RIP Chris, Nancy, And Daniel. I only blame a failed system. Benoit was the best to ever lace up a pair of boots. Hope to see David in the Ring someday
Whatever happened to having respect for the people who helped pave the way for what we do today? I never understand putting someone that came before me down.
Just found your channel ! I used to love la resistance ! Much respect for you talking about Chris and not just shitting on him ! Can’t wait for more stories !
Dupree is 100% correct. Thicc Mamma Pump should never be allowed to mention Benoit's name again. I cannot name a wrestler today Benoit could not hang with. Her comment was absurd. Benoit v Gresham, Omega, Naito, Cody Rhodes, AJ Styles, Roman Reigns, Ishii, Claudio Castagnoli, Okada, Tanahashi, Josh Alexander, Moxley, Jay White, WIll Osprey, etc? Yes, Benoit could have done well sharing the ring with any of them and more.
The complete self-delusion of these types of wrestlers who think they're the GOAT just because Dave Meltzer says so is comical. Benoit and Angle couldn't hang with today's stars? I think you'll find it's the other way around. Imagine the primadonnas of today trying to call a match in the ring with Benoit or Angle 😂
I like Gresham I like Jordan a lot but she’s always saying nonsense and getting offended quick. RIP Benoit. Props to Gail for setting her own opinion directly without offending anyone
To be fair though she wrestles for Impact! Enough said, She thinks those indie wrestlers are the best in the world.🤣😂 Makes sense, her vision of good wrestling is distorted.😵
Benoit was and still is my all time favorite wrestler. People want to act like he was a bad person..nah. he had severe brain damage. It's a fact that brain damage can alter one's personality, even causing them to be more aggressive and violent. The information is out there. People need to educate themselves.
He was murdered I truly believe this read the police reports and the autopsy reports. Hear chavo statements about what Benoit was saying and acting like he was paranoid someone was coming for him the cops say he was in the house alive for a day when the autopsy showed he died at the same time. Alcohol was next to his body and pills when he tested negative for both
Unless you knew Chris Benoit personally, then say fuck all. Benoit was an amazing wrestler who did so much for the industry and us as kids for years. Yes, the end results of the man's life was an upsetting scene big time we all know that, but his work was amazing and people should focus on that.
Everyone watching wanted to imitate and do that headbutt from off the top rope if they had the chance when he was doing it. Benoit made an impact in the wrestling world
Lmao for someone to say Kurt Angle can't hang with today wrestlers is ludacris.... your favorite wrestles favorite wrestler AJ Styles in 08,09 had some of his best matches with him... like in his top 10 of all time.
Ever since she's signed with Impact, Jordynne has been making similar dumb comments. She used to be cool, now she's been making these dumb millennial comments and then she walks them back when she gets called out for them. EVERY time she does this.
Thank you finally someone saying is not an excuse for what Benoit did but it really is. The amount of abuse these guys take to entertain us yet is the wrestling business that takes them for granted as we fans appreciate it for what they did. As for the "cannot hang". Is the most stupidest and fingerpointing laugh ever.
I absolutely agree with Rene. It was very irresponsible and unprofessional of her to make a comment like that, and at the time she didn't hold in high regard what people might be hurt by it. Which would be Chavo Guerrero, Chris Jericho, and his son. So, I think there's a lesson to be learned there.
Arn Anderson said in the Horsemen DVD and this was before the tragedy I couldnt say a bad word about Benoit if I was lying. Benoit is on that DVD then we all know what happened.
WWE came to my town and worked out where my brother and I did. Y2J just hit on the owners wife. I saw it with my own two eyes. First hand witness. While Chris asked to work in with my brothers deadlifts. He got so hyped and happy how he kept up with him as he knew he was young. Said hi to me and shakes my hand. I just feel like he was no longer Chris when he did what he did. Not to make excuses but, he was a very sweet man when I met him.
Rene may remember the Monster of Mirimachi, he was a mechanic , he worked on remote sites for Lumberjacks. We KNEW Allan Legere, i would have let him in the house the day before the manhunt...
This is so wild of a comment to make. A man who never held a profession other than being a professional wrestler and was insanely passionate about his craft to the extent that he punished himself with squats for even innocuous mistakes that nobody besides him even noticed not being able to hang with the wrestlers of today is ignorance to another level. And obviously it’s best expressed in her take that being unable to memorize a pre arranged match means he couldn’t hang since he had the skill that he didn’t pre plan his match’s and instead called it as they went based on the crowd. And then of course the fact that he’s widely regarded as one of the best to have ever done it. I can see why so many vets have disdain for some of the younger wrestlers
Dude on the left was all worried about the twitter brigade, he just had to let us know 3 or 4 times he definitely does not condone a murder/suicide lol Im glad rene basically put him in his place
No one needs to explain themselves for being a fan of Benoit or positively assessing his work. No more caveats. It’s all the same regurgitated response anyways; ad nauseam. If you cannot be a mature adult and be able to separate art from artist, you’re a hypocrite because you likely do it with music and/or movies.
Dynamite kid was an asshole, he was an incredibly well known SOB and people hated that man but nobody back then could measure up to Harley Races in ring knowledge, hell even Shawn Michaels is an ass and probably the biggest diva in wrestling but you can't deny the crossface, sweet chin music and diving headbutt
Chris Benoit was a fake pro rassler. He didn't beat anybody for real. He did kill his own child. So the only people who think being good at fake fighting overrides killing their child are dorky goofy white boys.
The truth is she is a nobody that is spinning her wheels in a small pond. Benoit on the other hand even with the craziness of his final days is widely regarded as one of the wrestling greats, so she's just another disrespectful new gen wrestler. Very well said Rene
I dont think you completely undestand cte. You make it sound like it was a choice he made not recognizing that condition takes it away. That his actions werent his but a byproduct of his brain damage.
Could you imagine the bucks or Omega taking chops from Benoit? Lol. And Benoit did plenty of suicide dives and so forth. He could do anytime limit or style needed. Do I think the cross face is over rated? Yes. But he wore them down for it. He could also apply 10 other submission holds if needed to win. Not counting pin combos.
She not only apologized to David, Chris Jericho, Dean Malenko, and Chavo but now her and David are literally organizing a charity together, she could not have handled the backlash any better.
Does she have more muscles than brains that's the dumbest take I ever heard. Benoit's ring skills are never criticized no question he's one of the greatest ring performers of all time probably top 5 of all time. 95% of the wrestlers would not keep up with Benoit

He was also included in my final thesis paper on the importance of acknowledging what trauma does to the brain and how educators should factor that in when interacting with students with this type of disabilities. Even now in 2022 we know very little about Traumatic Brain Injury and how even a slight trauma in life can negatively effect how humans rationalize. Rather than demonize the man, he needed help!
I never understood the whole Old Gen Vs New Gen mentality... Every generation has its flaws. No one is perfect. We can learn from each other. I ask young students to help me, because I see it in their eyes that they take great pride in helping others and being able to demonstrate their strengths. Rather than see that as a threat, use it to better the situation.
Good essay bro
Ty
Dynamite Kid paved the way for Chris Benoit, Chris Benoit paved the way for Bryan Danielson. You have to respect the ability those men have and their impact on the business.
Yikes if I was Daniel Bryan I would be nervous about my later years
Davey Richards modeled his work after Dynamite & Benoit
Don’t you fucking dare put Daniel Bryan in the same paragraph as Benoit and Dynamite Kid. There’s a reason he was stuck in the indies for over 10 years. Nothing amazing about him at all
With her comments; even if I didn't know what CTE is, it is improper to bring up Benoit in the scope of wrestlers because there are so many people who were his friends and have to live with it and try to decipher it. Let alone us fans. What he did was horrendous, but real friends had to cope with it. Wouldn't be easy. Show some respect and compassion. In ring? Fuck. Anyone today better have their tango shoes on because Chris wouldn't need to rehearse. Rehearsal is a detriment to the current generation, not a knock on him.
Yeah lets show respect and compassion for a person who killed his own child. Sure Benoit didn't show compassion to his own child but who cares right? As long as you think he could fake rassle good nothing else matters.
Jordyn grace spends more time exposing her simps lol rather than posting wrestling stuff
When I followed her, it was constant attention seeking rather than blocking idiots.
Benoit would mop the floor with over half of these wrestlers today. He was one of the all time greats in the ring. Some of these guys don't know how to throw a proper punch and they're getting paid millions 😂.
Benoit would seriously make most of today's wrestlers look like complete jokes. The entire AEW locker room except for maybe Bryan and Punk thats for sure. The difference between Benoit and the guys today is that Benoit actually wrestled.
Congratulations on 9,000 Subs guys 🎆🎇
Spoiler Alert: Benoit's worst match is lightyears better than Grace's best work.
Yeah, but he never had a bad match
Benoit was the smoothest wrestler that I'd seen since Dynamite Kid and Bret
Absolutely. Amazing ring technician
The biggest irony here is that she hates Chris Benoit so much and wants people to forget about him, but went out of her way to bring his name into social media. Thankfully she made an apology.
I hate that everyone demonizes Benoit, yes what he did was inexcusable and unacceptable but they did an autopsy on his brain and it was pretty much mush, I'm not trying to excuse what he did but he wasn't the same man everyone knew and loved in the last moments of his life.
If I was going to point that aspect, I would say he was a great performer who put his work before health to the point that it destroyed him and his family. He should be a cautionary tale to take traumatic brain injury seriously, especially in physical professions, like wrestling, football, soccer, hockey, etc. I agree with what you say 100,000,000% here. Imagine having suffer brain trauma and the moment you can't take it anymore, go insane and everyone says "Look how evil he is?" He wasn't evil!!! HE NEEDED THERAPY AND HELP!!!! The mental health care system in every nation is a JOKE! A pathetic joke!
The fact that his brain was so damaged is an excuse. Would he have done that with a healthy brain? Most likely not, judging from what those who knew him say, I'm confident in saying that he wouldn't have done it with a healthy brain. You can find many examples of people suffering a brain injury far less severe that Chris Benoit's brain and becoming more aggressive, more violent. People act like Benoit is on the same level as someone with a healthy brain who kills because they're just a shit person when that is completely false.
Love you Rene. Glad UR on the right path and pray it continues🙏🏼 RIP Chris, Nancy, And Daniel. I only blame a failed system. Benoit was the best to ever lace up a pair of boots. Hope to see David in the Ring someday
Of all the wrestlers she could have criticized she chose one that has passed away. Someone who can't defend themselves.
i felt like her apologies was the "oops i got trapped so im gonna write a overacted apology" type
Whatever happened to having respect for the people who helped pave the way for what we do today? I never understand putting someone that came before me down.
Yeah because you should respect people who kill their own child.
Just found your channel ! I used to love la resistance ! Much respect for you talking about Chris and not just shitting on him ! Can’t wait for more stories !
Dupree is 100% correct.
Thicc Mamma Pump should never be allowed to mention Benoit's name again. I cannot name a wrestler today Benoit could not hang with. Her comment was absurd.
Benoit v Gresham, Omega, Naito, Cody Rhodes, AJ Styles, Roman Reigns, Ishii, Claudio Castagnoli, Okada, Tanahashi, Josh Alexander, Moxley, Jay White, WIll Osprey, etc?
Yes, Benoit could have done well sharing the ring with any of them and more.
The complete self-delusion of these types of wrestlers who think they're the GOAT just because Dave Meltzer says so is comical. Benoit and Angle couldn't hang with today's stars? I think you'll find it's the other way around. Imagine the primadonnas of today trying to call a match in the ring with Benoit or Angle 😂
Self-delusion? You think because you like the way a guy fake wrestled overrides him killing his own child.But you call somebody else delusional?
@@googlemyself4091where did he say that?
I grew up with guys like beniot and he was the greatest wrestler from my childhood
I like Gresham I like Jordan a lot but she’s always saying nonsense and getting offended quick. RIP Benoit. Props to Gail for setting her own opinion directly without offending anyone
You don’t like Jordan Grace as a wrestler u just wanna f**k her.
who is jordan?
@@alexpolanco7885 Jordan Grace
Benoit is a murderer. No rip to benoit moron. Rest in pieces in hell
From the waist down Jordyn is perfect! 😍
To be fair though she wrestles for Impact! Enough said, She thinks those indie wrestlers are the best in the world.🤣😂 Makes sense, her vision of good wrestling is distorted.😵
Stupid take, where a person wrestles isn't indicative of how good they are. Everyone starts at the bottom.
Benoit was and still is my all time favorite wrestler. People want to act like he was a bad person..nah. he had severe brain damage. It's a fact that brain damage can alter one's personality, even causing them to be more aggressive and violent. The information is out there. People need to educate themselves.
He was murdered I truly believe this read the police reports and the autopsy reports. Hear chavo statements about what Benoit was saying and acting like he was paranoid someone was coming for him the cops say he was in the house alive for a day when the autopsy showed he died at the same time. Alcohol was next to his body and pills when he tested negative for both
Unless you knew Chris Benoit personally, then say fuck all. Benoit was an amazing wrestler who did so much for the industry and us as kids for years. Yes, the end results of the man's life was an upsetting scene big time we all know that, but his work was amazing and people should focus on that.
Lmao Dupri must HATE the Young Bucks he's mentioned how they dress and do Flippy stuff a few times now 😅
Everyone watching wanted to imitate and do that headbutt from off the top rope if they had the chance when he was doing it. Benoit made an impact in the wrestling world
Lmao for someone to say Kurt Angle can't hang with today wrestlers is ludacris.... your favorite wrestles favorite wrestler AJ Styles in 08,09 had some of his best matches with him... like in his top 10 of all time.
Modern fans
Agreed. That big girl has a small mind.
CTE is real.. RIP Nancy, and Daniel
Best wrestler ever
Chris Benoit was arguably the greatest wrestler/athlete to grace the squared circle. Personal life aside, in that ring Chris is/was the man.
she should worry about her testosterone intake. sounds like shes just raging
Ever since she's signed with Impact, Jordynne has been making similar dumb comments. She used to be cool, now she's been making these dumb millennial comments and then she walks them back when she gets called out for them. EVERY time she does this.
Its the literal opposite. Today's wrestler's couldn't hang with Benoit. BTW Jordyyne Grace couldn't hang with ANY man.
Thank you finally someone saying is not an excuse for what Benoit did but it really is.
The amount of abuse these guys take to entertain us yet is the wrestling business that takes them for granted as we fans appreciate it for what they did.
As for the "cannot hang". Is the most stupidest and fingerpointing laugh ever.
exactly Rene. Benoit wasn't right he wasn't himself at the end. Benoit lived his family it's obvious something was very wrong.
couldn’t hang with the wrestlers of today Benoit had more talent then the entire current roster
I absolutely agree with Rene. It was very irresponsible and unprofessional of her to make a comment like that, and at the time she didn't hold in high regard what people might be hurt by it. Which would be Chavo Guerrero, Chris Jericho, and his son. So, I think there's a lesson to be learned there.
As dumb as that tweet was I thought her apology was really good
Perhaps "hang" isn't the most tactful word for a tweet of this nature.
Are u gonna be reviewing aew and wwe?
"SuperBrawl Saturday?!"
Lot of anger going into backing up a child murderer.
Kurt angle said Benoit was his toughest opponent
Arn Anderson said in the Horsemen DVD and this was before the tragedy I couldnt say a bad word about Benoit if I was lying. Benoit is on that DVD then we all know what happened.
I don't know how David could even speak with her
I watch tna and don't remember one jordynn grace match
“Benoit was the fuckin’ best as far as in the ring. He could do anything.
Saying Benoit couldn't hang with the newer wrestlers is b.s . It's probably the opposite . Most of the newer wrestlers couldn't hang with Benoit .
Most newer wrestlers couldn‘t even hang with Triple H
Benoit and Kurt will wrestle circles around everyone and anyone ...these days .. .. that's a fact......
WWE came to my town and worked out where my brother and I did. Y2J just hit on the owners wife. I saw it with my own two eyes. First hand witness.
While Chris asked to work in with my brothers deadlifts. He got so hyped and happy how he kept up with him as he knew he was young. Said hi to me and shakes my hand. I just feel like he was no longer Chris when he did what he did.
Not to make excuses but, he was a very sweet man when I met him.
Dude slapping his chops between sentences. God damn.
Benoit would stretch the entire locker room and make them do hindu squats
Rene may remember the Monster of Mirimachi, he was a mechanic , he worked on remote sites for Lumberjacks.
We KNEW Allan Legere, i would have let him in the house the day before the manhunt...
I get the fact he should be praised but it came out of nowhere
The only criticism I have ever heard about Benoit's in ring work was that he worked too fast , he needed to slow down.
👍👍
This is so wild of a comment to make. A man who never held a profession other than being a professional wrestler and was insanely passionate about his craft to the extent that he punished himself with squats for even innocuous mistakes that nobody besides him even noticed not being able to hang with the wrestlers of today is ignorance to another level. And obviously it’s best expressed in her take that being unable to memorize a pre arranged match means he couldn’t hang since he had the skill that he didn’t pre plan his match’s and instead called it as they went based on the crowd. And then of course the fact that he’s widely regarded as one of the best to have ever done it. I can see why so many vets have disdain for some of the younger wrestlers
Benoit could disfigured 99% of the WWE and AEW rosters today if he was alive and in his prime. I don't know what she's talking about.
That was the epitome of an ignorant comment . It totally changes my opinion of her now .
Always a double edge sword. They were discovered well decomposed. Never believed the official report.
Chris was a legit wrestler and didn’t need to remember matches.
The current talent could never lace up BENOIT, Kurt angle , Mr perfect, Bret Hart or even savages boots.
Dude on the left was all worried about the twitter brigade, he just had to let us know 3 or 4 times he definitely does not condone a murder/suicide lol
Im glad rene basically put him in his place
No one needs to explain themselves for being a fan of Benoit or positively assessing his work. No more caveats. It’s all the same regurgitated response anyways; ad nauseam. If you cannot be a mature adult and be able to separate art from artist, you’re a hypocrite because you likely do it with music and/or movies.
Dynamite kid was an asshole, he was an incredibly well known SOB and people hated that man but nobody back then could measure up to Harley Races in ring knowledge, hell even Shawn Michaels is an ass and probably the biggest diva in wrestling but you can't deny the crossface, sweet chin music and diving headbutt
Chris Benoit was a fake pro rassler. He didn't beat anybody for real. He did kill his own child. So the only people who think being good at fake fighting overrides killing their child are dorky goofy white boys.
She has no talent that why it upsets her that people still care for Benoit.
Nobody cares for benoit. We all care that he's dead.
The truth is she is a nobody that is spinning her wheels in a small pond. Benoit on the other hand even with the craziness of his final days is widely regarded as one of the wrestling greats, so she's just another disrespectful new gen wrestler.
Very well said Rene
CTE or not, his actions are inexcusable. That being said, her comments about Benoit not being as good as modern wrestlers is pure blasphemy.
Are u a doctor? Well STFU
I dont think you completely undestand cte. You make it sound like it was a choice he made not recognizing that condition takes it away. That his actions werent his but a byproduct of his brain damage.
I was watching Benoit matches before she was born. She shouldnt have said that, lol.
Could you imagine the bucks or Omega taking chops from Benoit? Lol. And Benoit did plenty of suicide dives and so forth. He could do anytime limit or style needed. Do I think the cross face is over rated? Yes. But he wore them down for it. He could also apply 10 other submission holds if needed to win. Not counting pin combos.
She not only apologized to David, Chris Jericho, Dean Malenko, and Chavo but now her and David are literally organizing a charity together, she could not have handled the backlash any better.
The bitch didn't handle anything. She's 1000% just trying to get her name out there.
The wrestling "fans" these days and these new school "wrestlers".....its so fascinating to me the bizarro world that they live in.
Does she have more muscles than brains that's the dumbest take I ever heard. Benoit's ring skills are never criticized no question he's one of the greatest ring performers of all time probably top 5 of all time. 95% of the wrestlers would not keep up with Benoit
