I feel bad for David. Obviously he has a ton of respect for his dad and I feel like interviewers keep asking him things like this that makes it even less likely a promoter will give him a chance
Problem is its almost like David is in denial. He feels his dad's legacy is his wrestling. It's not. It's man in its entirety. And killing your wife and child overtakes your wrestling ability And he's not getting chances because 1) he has seemly put no serious effort into being a wrestler 2) he wants to bear his father's name, and that's a no-no 3) He will be wrestling for the wrong reasons. Not to be a good safe wrestler, but to promote his dad. See 1&2. What makes me sad is there are lots of people who forgive Chris benoit for being a double murderer but offer the same sympathy to someone down on their luck. People make excuses for their heroes being flawed but their neighbour. David needs to accept that his dad may be his personal idol, but everyone else can and will rightly judge Chris Benoit for his murderous actions.
I didn’t know Benoit had another kid… Damn that must be hard for him and he still loves his dad given what happened. I feel for him and damn he looks just like him too
@@tj-mb3fyIt was considering not just his biggest achievements but some of the biggest achievements of people who defeated him when he was on top are either deleted or heavily edited by WWE.
That's also genetics I was born with dark circles under my eyes and when I'm even slightly tired they show. People who never seen me notice them immediately but people who are around me often dont notice them unless I'm actually tired because they get REAL dark
I think the bags underneath the eyes show YEARS AND YEARS of pure depression, pure heartbreak, not eating for weeks, not getting out of bed or showering for weeks, learning what your father just did and now you’ve gotta go to school where all the other kids don’t understand at all so they pester you with “why did he do it”, “why did he save you”, “was he crazy” all wild questions for a young person who just lost more than half of his family to answer! You understand now? How many people questioned him for something his dad did that scientists and neuroscientists can’t find the answer to but other kids expected him to know the answer at age 10? Cmon now.. how many days and nights I wonder did he spend alone in a dark room, just thinking “why why why why” but couldn’t ever find the answer.. how many times he probably wanted to take himself because everyone turned their back on his family from the WWE world to the real world.. only Chavo, Y2J, Kurt Angle, and very very very few others helped him as a young kid to grow up and understand what happened so he could move on. You can still see on the poor kid’s face confusion, he still doesn’t have an answer to why that happened that one day and he never will have an answer and I can only imagine not having an answer your whole life breaks you on the inside.. especially when everyone around you somehow expects you to know what your dad was thinking and find the answer when it doesn’t work like that.. this kid.. had to watch as his Dad’s whole entire fame and career that he earned with hard work, blood, sweat and definitely tears over years and years was all taken away at once. Was all washed away from WWE over night. You go from one week seeing Chris Benoit on Smackdown, buying his action figures in Toys R Us and Walmart, you go home on your ps1-ps2 and play as Chris Benoit in Smackdown vs Raw, or here comes the pain. You start to really really like Chris and look up to him as you do any other celebrities from Michael Jordan to Michael Jackson, he just had his own talented lane which was best wrestler ever. So imagine if you’re his kid, one week you’re on top of the world, all the kids at your school praising you for your dad becoming champion and they all play with your dad’s action figure. Then overnight like poof 💨, a bad spell. Next day you wake up to seeing that every single News Station from here to Antarctica are all calling your dad the “dead psychopath WWE star”, you wake up and none of his toys are in the stores anymore, you wake up and none of his books or paintings or anything to do with him is on this earth anymore. You wake up and yesterday you just saw your dad in the new 2k WWE trailer for PlayStation and then today you wake up and he’s not in the trailer, on the cover of the game, or even in the game as character selection anymore? Then you get hit with the wave of hundreds of thousands of fans, annoying journalists, friends, family, therapists, etc all asking you, “what signs did you see of this happening”, “did your dad ever tell you a secret like this would happen”, just a whole bunch of manipulation questions and tactics to try and find out the “truth” from a kid that wasn’t even at the scene about what happened and why the CTE brain damaged dad snapped..
Jim Ross said on Dark Side of the Ring that putting Chris Benoit in the WWE Hall of Fame would one of the biggest distractions in all of pro wrestling. People will bring up the double murder and that unfortunately has overshadowed all of Benoit's amazing career. It's unfortunate, but it's the truth.
He doesn't belong in the hall of fame but he was a good wreslter but it's too much he druged his own kid and killed his wife and made his son brother less and mother less and then killed himself no the only place he going is hell
There's more nuance than that. He very likely had CTE, which leads to depression, violent outbursts and suicide. He developed that from years of hard work and taking beatings in the ring. The nfl has come out and taken responsibility for CTE in players that have done similar things, why won't the WWE?
I remember the first time I saw that photo of David I just got chills by the fact that he’s a spitting image of his dad but yet you can see the emptiness and cold in his eyes
@@elkuko8686 for some reason I recall being more into the Benoit vs Alex Wright matches in WCW days but likely because for WCW pre NWO stuff those were two of the guys I was like "ooh, these guys will be a big deal once they make it to WWF, as for some reason I thought no one knew about WCW at the time so I had like underground knowledge or something as certain WCW guys appeared on WWF with different names lol Oh how internet would have been nice as a young grasshopper
Poor David. What Chris did broke him. You can see it in his sad, tired eyes. I hope he lets go of this impossible expectation, and hopefully gives up on wrestling too. There's nothing but pain for him in that business, and through no fault of his own.
We as fans did that to Chris and his family. He took all those headshots for us and ended up with a mush brain. Im kinda disgusted at myself at times that I enjoyed his brain getting beat into pulp
@bluecheesewithwings2105 yea I didn't do anything to Chris. He chose to do every spot/ bump he ever took. Easily saying no is not hard. My boss told me to get the clot shot two years ago, told him to shove it and quit. You control your life
No kidding. All due respect to Daniel (God rest his soul) but David is the one I felt the most sorry for (once I learned Chris had an older son). I could only imagine the bullying and torment he must’ve had to go through after all that crap happened
@@KinnArchimedes no one cares if it’s not YOUR “Hall of Fame”. And Benoit never “did anything” to Vince or the WWE like Ultimate Warrior. The reason he’s blackballed and not in the HOF, is because he murdered his family. He didn’t leave or have beef with Vince. It’s been 15 years and the fact still stands that what he did, mental issues or not, was disgusting. I liked Benoit, I liked him as a character but there’s a limit to how much a person can be tolerated for who they are as a wrestler. And because you’re obviously not very bright, the other guy didn’t say that what Hitler did was less bad, he’s pointing how dumb it is that you brought him up. Hitler didn’t have a better reputation and it’s like you’re acting like since Benoit didn’t kill as many people as Hitler, then he should be fine to go in the HOF. Makes no sense and you’re talking out of your ass.
@@KinnArchimedes hall of fame are a privilege and a celebration of one’s legacy. Either of those things are not deserved by Chris after what he did to his family. Letting him is would disrespect all others who are part of it
Benoit was incredible, honestly one of my favorite wrestlers. But it's way too touchy of a subject. For in ring work, 100% worthy of an induction, but there's just so much baggage with his name (which sucks for David to have to deal with).
at this point sunny is still in the hall of fame we mind as well put benoit and what he did was not ok by a long shot but he definitely should be based off in ring
Bro I understand it’s his dad and he loves him but he will never in a million years go anywhere near the hall of fame, the guy murdered his 7 year old son
Maybe it wasn't a joke. Gullible idiots believe everything they're told. I don't believe a single piece of it. It's one thing to have the mind of a senile old man (which is skeptical), but using that as a clutch to say he killed his family 👪 and himself 🙄. That's where you completely lost me.
No Chris Benoit no matter what he did the fact is wwe can't erase his legacy or his accomplishments they can erase his name from people's mouth but no matter how hard they try they can't erase the fact he was a legend and was a 10 time world champion Boba gawa has spoken
@@trending8105 They can't change the fact he brutally murdered his whole family either.. if OJ aint in the hall.. if Pete rose ain't in the hall for gambling.. it ain't happening for Benoit. And I was a huge Benoit fan myself
Poor guy. I absolutely understand his position, a Son who only ever had positive moments with his Dad is never going to see him like the rest of the world.
He's playing aloof as a defense mechanism. Seeming cheerful and smiling all the time throws people off. You can tell from his facial expressions and tone of his voice He's coping with hearing about his father constantly.
@@younglove3362WWE is at equal fault, clearly it's been revealed in reports his brain became like a 85 yrs old Alzheimer patient due to concussions. You don't have control over your mind.
Chris hardly paid attention to his other kids. Only seeing them twice a year if that. He’s trash as a dad. And that being said before he murdered his youngest son. Which is not dad of the year behavior. I loved my dad and remember all the times he got mad at me BUT never, not even once, murdered me. Atta dad!!!
That's is the one that survived that night. I thought he will never going to give interviews.. but he came out to the light. Yes that dude looks like him. I feel like the wrestling world lost a great wrestler with a lot to give. Those who enjoyed those 90s years in wrestling with WCW and WWF. And EcW was the best era.

Yes. Thats how we all remember him! I think of his feud w angle when his name comes up. Can you believe there are clowns who think of the woman and disabled child he murdered? Lets remember his kurt angle feud! It outweighed any bad he did
@@Johnnyrocks34 Clearly that's not what I was implying. And for the exact fact the video featured his son discussing his possible entry in to the hall of fame, even Vince had suggested they might be open to discussing him in a historical WRESTLING context. No one's forgetting the absolutely horrific thing he did, now fuck off and be a smug prick somewhere else.
Exactly. The way he remembers him. Probably the only version of his father that he knew. What the hell do you want him to do? Conjure up some condemning feelings that he honestly does not have?
Bro that's his dad of course he focuses on the way he remembers him. WTF is he supposed to do ignore his feelings he had/has of his father just to satisfy your feelings on the situation SMDH. Imagine if your dad did something like Chris Benoit or something on that level would you immediately just be like F that guy he is a pos or would you be like David who doesn't have those memories of his dad being angry or full of rage?
what did he he do, look at the case again..that needs to be reopened. i believe chris was murdered and daniel, and nancy, the cops , f..... up the case, the murders were on a a podcast before chris was named in these deaths. i thought like you did until i really looked into it..look into it..
@@waynejohnson1786 How can anything speculative be "almost certainly true" if it never happened? You see, there are many possibilities and I don't accept that Benoit could have gotten to all of them. David could easily have run out of the house and called for help, he could have pulled a gun on his dad after seeing him strangle Daniel until the cops arrived, he could have hid somewhere that Chris couldn't find him etc. The possibilities are endless, and yes Chris could have easily killed him as well, but it's all speculation and that's all it will ever be. Unfortunately, the best outcome of this tragedy would have been the cops shooting Chris Benoit dead as he attacked Nancy so she had survived along with Daniel but it never happened, so there's no point in me bringing up a scenario where I would like to have seen the cops put a bullet between his eyes. Speculation is speculation, got it?
@@Romulan2469 “How can anything speculative be almost certainly true if it never happened?“ Easily, a family annihilator typically annihilates their entire family. If you want just look at it mathematically; when it comes to these types of crimes, statistically the perpetrator kills everyone.

Exactly. Zero chance of Benoit going into the Hall of Fame. David should pursue another line of work. Pro wrestling isn't going to work for him. Complete BS I know, but his dad sealed his fate.
this is something that breaks me. i grew up watching benoit, eddie, shawn and these were my top 3. i used to hit my friends with the crossface day in day out… when eddie passed away i was broken. then this happened with benoit and his family.. i genuinely cried. i was a lil boy not fully understanding the weight of his actions. hes in my top 3 all time favorite wrestlers but i dontsee them putting him in the hall of fame :( wish they could tho

@@CallMeClarkson We do know that he killed his wife, child and then himself. We don't knkw what caused him to do that....but he did it.....he murdered an innocent child....he will NEVER be in the Hall of Fame .....what he did in his career is not worth a single human life
@@CallMeClarkson I agree it’s sad we don’t know exactly what happened but for what it was his in ring resume is 100% worthy of the hall of fame but considering what happened that call is completely up to wwe because if they decide to go through with that the press will have a field day and it could tarnish the company’s good name
@@rayzor5289 while thats true, the autopsy carried on him showed his brain had the same mental capacity as a 88 year old man, we don't know what caused him to do the murders, or if he even did them himself, therefor we should no speculate what happened as it most likely won't be true, but I think he should be in the Hall of Fame, if his son, David thinks it could of been his brain after years of diving headbutts, chairshots and other things, it is probably true, he knows him better than all of us, and if he wants him in the hall of fame it's disrespectful for people to reject that idea.
@@Mobro_3904 that is true, however in the full interview David Benoit states the press ruined his life, the press will do anything. But if WWE handles it right, it could work.
Well I kind of feel more for the people who were murdered. Seeing as they're not alive. Maybe David won't be a big name in wrestling but.... he can do literally anything else.
@waitselljones8068 I get what you're saying and obviously what happened to Nancy and her son was very tragic, however Dave has to live everyday with what happened. That shit has to eat you alive.
@@asawhitemanidjustliketosay I understand your opinion and respect your opinion. Just remember in the WWE "never say never" I quoted that from the undertaker by the way.
There could be an amazing story of son escaping his father’s horrible actions. But it won’t be an easy road. He will feel the weight for years to come. He will only survive if he is stronger than his dad ever was. He will need therapy constantly. The world won’t be kind and he will need the support of many people will to forgive a tragedy he had nothing to do with. I feel for him
From what I see here... David definetly needs love and special care... Physically and mentally... You can see he looks so tired.. And his personality is down to the floor.. He faced bullying and mockery and humiliation ever since.. Even the interviewer here is mocking him in a way. The worst part is that he can't publicly say that he's proud of his dad out loud.. Just keep it in himself.. He kept everything in himself to the point that he's really tired and down.😢
CVV isn’t mocking him he’s trying to stay moral when the person he’s across from is suggesting something that is definitely far from moral in our society. Definitely a weird interview for CVV to take
You can tell even from the Dark Side of the Ring interview when David says about his dad, "He's still my hero." His tone is almost apologetic when he says it. He talked a lot about the bullying and isolation from people in the wrestling business, too. As if they blamed him for what his dad had done. My heart goes out to this guy.
@@Stopcommentingthesamecomments yeah, it wasn’t public knowledge after Vince helped cover up the murder. When it finally went public they quietly removed him for a little bit.

Your letting your love and fandom of Chris cloud your mind on something that is a choosable act. It aint manslaughter. Murder is a choice. Most murderers have a cause and effect that made their minds twisted. But in the end of the day. They made the choice to do so... you twit. @@noicemate9111
WWE has a history of letting bygones be bygones. The Chris Benoit story unfortunately has too much messiness involved for them to want to reopen the discussion.

Murdered a woman and child. They'll never put that monster in the Hall of Fame.
I feel for this kid, I feel for the woman and child that died, and ultimately, I feel for Chris too. The autopsy they did on his brain showed similar appearance to that of an 80 year old Alzheimer's patient. Decades of steroids, diving headbutts, chairshots to the head, etc. The industry is just as if not more responsible for the tragic event than the man himself. With that said, he's never going into the Hall, and it's a shame that David looks exactly like him, he will unfairly never get a real chance.
Your comment is so out of touch with reality.... he chose to do dangerous moves (especially after seeing what it did to guys like the Dynamite Kid), he chose to use steroids, he was a sick man that abused his wife, he was the kind of man to steal a colleagues wife..... how dare you insinuate anyone else was to blame but the man himself, you're trying to lessen the blame because he was a good wrestler, that's borderline disgusting.
@@petebagwell6666 it's killing me that people is defending a child murder! I guess if he killed the dog maybe then people would not defend this monster..
@@kenrickkahn your brain is you. Chris was not himself the moment he killed his family and he never would have been for the rest of his life even if he didn’t choose to kill himself afterwards. You can’t claim that Chris was a monster when what made him who he was, was rotted away. I understand not wanting to stand up for a murderer, but there’s a reason we don’t put the mentally insane in prison, and well, Chris had no brain to tell him what he was doing was wrong. His brain was gone.
Jake "The Snake" Robert's father was a wrestler who had a horrific reputation of being a pedophilic rapist. Yet, Jake became an absolute legend despite it. If he can do it, David surely can.
@Joshua Layug exactly man it's just fucked up because the WWE wants us to forget so he might just be erased from the wrestling memories down the line years later people won't know who Chris Benoit was
@@fukkklkhgoogle9622 The rabid wolverine with the missing tooth... man oh man. That brings me back to my teenager years. He was one of my all time favorites. He was right there with Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle.
David is probably the most affected from Chris's death next to his own father.. You can still see he's trying to hold a shred of light to his father's name & in some ways keep him alive from the untimely death he perpetuated. Even for me, for the past 16 years I've not gotten over his death from 11 years old.. I'm now 27.. Its the same with many of us still here, we just somehow can't get over Chris. Even if he somehow does get inducted to the HOF, we'll still remember what he did & the last thing Daniel or Nancy needs to their name is for the man who killed them to be celebrated. Its a no brainer that Chris should never be inducted to ANY HOF. Even Chris would know that.
Even Jim Ross who was also friends with Chris Benoit said on Dark Side of the Ring that if Chris Benoit was still alive and saw his future self becoming the monster he was during June 22nd-24th 2007, Chris wouldn't have wanted to be inducted into the HoF as his murder-suicide tragedy would be the only thing people would ever want to talk about at the WWE HoF and how it would be the biggest distraction of the HoF event and unfairly take attention away from other deserving HoF inductees.
Guy loves his father and remembers him for what he did his whole life minus one day. Put yourself in his shoes and it won’t be hard to understand why. Good for you David
@@joshvinson1237 being able to see other points of views vs having actual fucking empathy are two different things. The guy murdered his wife and 7 year old child. But let's focus on how good he was at fake fighting? Do you even listen to yourself?
@@joshvinson1237 I agree its a complicated situation but at the end of the day he is going into an industry full of people who knew Chris and Nancy and had very complicated feelings about the entire affair. To pretend like he is ignoring just one day of his fathers life is sweet but just not realistic. I feel for David, and its very tricky but its foolish to act like this is just a simple "oh let it go and let the kid wrestle" thing. It is one of the most famous murder suicides of all time and its treated that way (along with Chris Benoit) for a reason. No shade towards David, I wish the dude the best. But I think its silly how wrestling fans jump between two extremes on this scenario. Its a very complicated issue that will probably never be resolved
And I just wanna add I agree its easy to see David persepctive. But again think about anyone else in the wrestling industry. It would not be easy for literally everyone else in the locker room to deal with the aftermath of the Benoit tragedy especially if they were forced to hypothetically wrestle David. Especially if he was using his fathers name like he says he wants to. Again, no shade at all but its way more complicated than a lot of these comments are making it out to be. If you are gonna put yourself in Davids shoes put yourself in the shoes of every other person in the industry esepcially those who worked with Chris. TLDR, this shit is complicated and I just hope David is as okay as can be.
shit gives me chills to watch. i was always scared of Chris Benoit because my older brother told me what he did when i was like 5-6, but to hear his son speak so highly of him really makes me think about who he really was.
People will call this hate but can we finish talking about this already? Owen will never be in because his family doesn’t want him in. Chris will never be in because no matter how he did it or why he did it, he did it, it’s bad and for the company it’s a no no, media will say big company inducts blah blah. So yeah feel bad for him but 🤷🏻♂️😬 can’t do anything
Someone just needs to be honest with him and tell him that not in a million years will his Dad ever be in the hall of fame. He loves his Dad but he needs to understand what he did and he needs to move on otherwise no one will ever give him a chance. Moving on is important and until he does he's always going to be known as Chris Benoit's son.
Let's not kid ourselves, Chris should never be in the Hall of Fame, and he most likely never will. He was good, but not good enough to overshadow a double-murder suicide.
I wish him the best and hope he makes it in WWE or AEW. The son should not suffer for the sins of the father. You can't blame him for still loving and respecting his father.
@Intello bro what world do you live in, there is a lot idiots in the world that blame him a little. And you don't think there are wrestling promotions and programs that would deny him because of his father?
@@naturalfitness-1 I don’t know I haven’t heard many deny him yet. And btw there are many wrestling companies that deny normal wrestlers anyway so that’s not really an argument. And btw you still haven’t given me evidence that people are literally saying the son is responsible for the fathers actions. All you said to me was essentially “there are billions of people and there could be idiots” lol erm ok but unless I see or hear those comments I’m going to assume it doesn’t exist 🤷🏾♂️
Wow he looks like his dad. As tragic and horrific his story ended, he lives on through his kid. Got to be rough but at least he loves his dad enough to fight for him. It’s one of those hard choices in life, trash my family or forgive and tell of the good times.
Unfortunately, the love for his father, and his optimism for repairing his father's name, comes off as a bit dilusional. It takes out the fact that his father murdered his younger brother and his mother and his self. But... In saying that, Chris was his dad, so he love knows no bounds.
David is from Chris's first wife. Nancy wasn't his mother. I agree that he is delusional but not just a bit, try a lot. This guy will never wrestle anywhere ever because he seems kind of off anyway and wasn't Chris Jericho supposedly training him a few years ago? What happened with that? I honestly think that anyone who talks to David Is just doing it to still somewhat exploit the tragedy. I mean, leave this guy alone already he's got nothing to offer and honestly there's nothing that he can do to fix his dad's reputation.
@@bloodguts6786 I agree that he does seem kind of off. He also seems to be going no where with wrestling. Hope he gets help and doesn’t have his own tragic legacy.

I love Chris for doing this interview the way he did. David clearly wasn't ready for the huge explanations or answers to questions yet. Chris kept the video going so well and I'm so happy to hear what David thinks or how he feels about everything. Was so awesome to be reminded Chris had 2 sons and to hear from him
@@vincesmith2499 It's obvious that David doesn't condone what his father did but he wants him to be inducted for what he did IN the wrestling business. Not OUTSIDE of it. Some people like Benoit because of his matches in WWE not because of his actions.
Idc what anyone says, he KILLED HIS WIFE AND CHILD! Idc why idc the damage (other than protecting future athletes health) he MURDERED. He doesn’t deserve that.
Hey uhh thechurchboy2011 no one really cares what you think. besides the he was doing over the years we're making him messing his mind up. After all he's achieved in his career like WCW World Champion, Royal Rumble 2004 winner, WrestleMania XX Main Event & World Heavyweight Champion he deserves it. It was a mistake Chris with the brain damage. A mistake that can never be fixed. But do a favor and just shut up okay.
@@weirddd469 So did everyone else. Alot of people who are in the HOF took steroids. It's not about steroid use. It's about what they did in the company.
WWE is scripted. Their HoF is about popularity. Also hall of famers are about celebration of one’s legacy. Chris destroyed his legacy when took his families lives. Why is worthy of celebration again? It would disrespect all the other members of that HoF.

I just want to give him a big hug. He’s been through a lot, you can see it in his eyes. Dude really needs to sleep. And I applaud him for talking about his dad as he remembers him, not for what happened that night. At some point point though I think he’s going to need help.
I feel badly for the kid. Obviously he loved his father and Benoit was a good wrestler. But, he committed a crime that is beyond cruel and foul. You don't get recognized for that. You don't get rewarded for that. And to put him in the HOF would be to open old wounds again for a lot of people just by mentioning his name. Those who knew him and wrestled with him, those who were fans, have the memories they need to have. Benoit deserves no place in the HOF. None. Regardless of his abilities. He escaped justice via suicide. This is the only way we can hold him accountable now. By not giving him ANY kind of glory.
I feel bad for David. Obviously he has a ton of respect for his dad and I feel like interviewers keep asking him things like this that makes it even less likely a promoter will give him a chance
He must not GAF about his mom and brother tho 😂
Problem is its almost like David is in denial. He feels his dad's legacy is his wrestling. It's not. It's man in its entirety. And killing your wife and child overtakes your wrestling ability
And he's not getting chances because
1) he has seemly put no serious effort into being a wrestler
2) he wants to bear his father's name, and that's a no-no
3) He will be wrestling for the wrong reasons. Not to be a good safe wrestler, but to promote his dad. See 1&2.
What makes me sad is there are lots of people who forgive Chris benoit for being a double murderer but offer the same sympathy to someone down on their luck. People make excuses for their heroes being flawed but their neighbour.
David needs to accept that his dad may be his personal idol, but everyone else can and will rightly judge Chris Benoit for his murderous actions.

That's also genetics I was born with dark circles under my eyes and when I'm even slightly tired they show. People who never seen me notice them immediately but people who are around me often dont notice them unless I'm actually tired because they get REAL dark
Really? I wish you could see my eyes after reading this lol
I think the bags underneath the eyes show YEARS AND YEARS of pure depression, pure heartbreak, not eating for weeks, not getting out of bed or showering for weeks, learning what your father just did and now you’ve gotta go to school where all the other kids don’t understand at all so they pester you with “why did he do it”, “why did he save you”, “was he crazy” all wild questions for a young person who just lost more than half of his family to answer! You understand now? How many people questioned him for something his dad did that scientists and neuroscientists can’t find the answer to but other kids expected him to know the answer at age 10? Cmon now.. how many days and nights I wonder did he spend alone in a dark room, just thinking “why why why why” but couldn’t ever find the answer.. how many times he probably wanted to take himself because everyone turned their back on his family from the WWE world to the real world.. only Chavo, Y2J, Kurt Angle, and very very very few others helped him as a young kid to grow up and understand what happened so he could move on. You can still see on the poor kid’s face confusion, he still doesn’t have an answer to why that happened that one day and he never will have an answer and I can only imagine not having an answer your whole life breaks you on the inside.. especially when everyone around you somehow expects you to know what your dad was thinking and find the answer when it doesn’t work like that.. this kid.. had to watch as his Dad’s whole entire fame and career that he earned with hard work, blood, sweat and definitely tears over years and years was all taken away at once. Was all washed away from WWE over night. You go from one week seeing Chris Benoit on Smackdown, buying his action figures in Toys R Us and Walmart, you go home on your ps1-ps2 and play as Chris Benoit in Smackdown vs Raw, or here comes the pain. You start to really really like Chris and look up to him as you do any other celebrities from Michael Jordan to Michael Jackson, he just had his own talented lane which was best wrestler ever. So imagine if you’re his kid, one week you’re on top of the world, all the kids at your school praising you for your dad becoming champion and they all play with your dad’s action figure. Then overnight like poof 💨, a bad spell. Next day you wake up to seeing that every single News Station from here to Antarctica are all calling your dad the “dead psychopath WWE star”, you wake up and none of his toys are in the stores anymore, you wake up and none of his books or paintings or anything to do with him is on this earth anymore. You wake up and yesterday you just saw your dad in the new 2k WWE trailer for PlayStation and then today you wake up and he’s not in the trailer, on the cover of the game, or even in the game as character selection anymore? Then you get hit with the wave of hundreds of thousands of fans, annoying journalists, friends, family, therapists, etc all asking you, “what signs did you see of this happening”, “did your dad ever tell you a secret like this would happen”, just a whole bunch of manipulation questions and tactics to try and find out the “truth” from a kid that wasn’t even at the scene about what happened and why the CTE brain damaged dad snapped..

Jim Ross said on Dark Side of the Ring that putting Chris Benoit in the WWE Hall of Fame would one of the biggest distractions in all of pro wrestling. People will bring up the double murder and that unfortunately has overshadowed all of Benoit's amazing career. It's unfortunate, but it's the truth.
He was good in the ring and bad as a human being even new jack was speaking facts
They Put Jimmy Snukas murdering ass in it. Plenty of WWE Hall of Famers have bodies to their names. Scott Hall / Jimmy Snuka/

There's more nuance than that. He very likely had CTE, which leads to depression, violent outbursts and suicide. He developed that from years of hard work and taking beatings in the ring. The nfl has come out and taken responsibility for CTE in players that have done similar things, why won't the WWE?

We as fans did that to Chris and his family. He took all those headshots for us and ended up with a mush brain. Im kinda disgusted at myself at times that I enjoyed his brain getting beat into pulp
@bluecheesewithwings2105 yea I didn't do anything to Chris. He chose to do every spot/ bump he ever took. Easily saying no is not hard. My boss told me to get the clot shot two years ago, told him to shove it and quit. You control your life
I think thats just how his eyes look bro lol
Why should he give up on wrestling? It’s his passion, he should just not use Benoit Jr and that’s it.
No kidding. All due respect to Daniel (God rest his soul) but David is the one I felt the most sorry for (once I learned Chris had an older son). I could only imagine the bullying and torment he must’ve had to go through after all that crap happened

@@KinnArchimedes did this dude just compare benoit to hitler?
@@KinnArchimedes no one cares if it’s not YOUR “Hall of Fame”. And Benoit never “did anything” to Vince or the WWE like Ultimate Warrior. The reason he’s blackballed and not in the HOF, is because he murdered his family. He didn’t leave or have beef with Vince. It’s been 15 years and the fact still stands that what he did, mental issues or not, was disgusting. I liked Benoit, I liked him as a character but there’s a limit to how much a person can be tolerated for who they are as a wrestler.
And because you’re obviously not very bright, the other guy didn’t say that what Hitler did was less bad, he’s pointing how dumb it is that you brought him up. Hitler didn’t have a better reputation and it’s like you’re acting like since Benoit didn’t kill as many people as Hitler, then he should be fine to go in the HOF. Makes no sense and you’re talking out of your ass.

Unfortunately, the best outcome of this tragedy would have been the cops shooting Chris Benoit dead as he attacked Nancy so she had survived along with Daniel but it never happened, so there's no point in me bringing up a scenario where I would like to have seen the cops put a bullet between his eyes.

Jake "The Snake" Robert's father was a wrestler who had a horrific reputation of being a pedophilic rapist. Yet, Jake became an absolute legend despite it. If he can do it, David surely can.
@@QuothTheRavenclaw11 different time.
One of the greatest in ring guys of all time imo, but he'll never see the HoF
@Joshua Layug exactly man it's just fucked up because the WWE wants us to forget so he might just be erased from the wrestling memories down the line years later people won't know who Chris Benoit was
@Joshua Layug good. He deserves no credit

I’m in awe of how he looks literally exactly like his dad at that age. It’s uncanny. I wish David Benoit got a chance in the big time.
Y’all just exploiting this man.
Sad

Why you say that?
100 percent.
Fr, this interviewer knows damn well his pops won’t enter the HOF after the heinous acts he committed.
David is probably the most affected from Chris's death next to his own father.. You can still see he's trying to hold a shred of light to his father's name & in some ways keep him alive from the untimely death he perpetuated.
Even for me, for the past 16 years I've not gotten over his death from 11 years old.. I'm now 27.. Its the same with many of us still here, we just somehow can't get over Chris.
Even if he somehow does get inducted to the HOF, we'll still remember what he did & the last thing Daniel or Nancy needs to their name is for the man who killed them to be celebrated. Its a no brainer that Chris should never be inducted to ANY HOF. Even Chris would know that.
Even Jim Ross who was also friends with Chris Benoit said on Dark Side of the Ring that if Chris Benoit was still alive and saw his future self becoming the monster he was during June 22nd-24th 2007, Chris wouldn't have wanted to be inducted into the HoF as his murder-suicide tragedy would be the only thing people would ever want to talk about at the WWE HoF and
how it would be the biggest distraction of the HoF event and unfairly take attention away from other deserving HoF inductees.

@@sbj97 come on come on come and get it
Now that’s wicked😂😂😂😂😂
His son is in denial it’s sad to see
RIP Nancy and Daniel. You both deserved to live your lives.
Daniel would've been in his 20s.David probably in his 30s like me.Looking like Chris
Looks just like his father, must haunt him to go out in public knowing what people will think when they see him.
Guy loves his father and remembers him for what he did his whole life minus one day. Put yourself in his shoes and it won’t be hard to understand why. Good for you David
Yeah the people who seem confused must not have the ability to consider other points of view. It's nice to see a RUclips commenter with a brain 👍
If my dad killed my kid brother I would cremated him and spread his ashes in a dump.
@@joshvinson1237 being able to see other points of views vs having actual fucking empathy are two different things. The guy murdered his wife and 7 year old child. But let's focus on how good he was at fake fighting? Do you even listen to yourself?
@@joshvinson1237 I agree its a complicated situation but at the end of the day he is going into an industry full of people who knew Chris and Nancy and had very complicated feelings about the entire affair. To pretend like he is ignoring just one day of his fathers life is sweet but just not realistic. I feel for David, and its very tricky but its foolish to act like this is just a simple "oh let it go and let the kid wrestle" thing. It is one of the most famous murder suicides of all time and its treated that way (along with Chris Benoit) for a reason. No shade towards David, I wish the dude the best. But I think its silly how wrestling fans jump between two extremes on this scenario. Its a very complicated issue that will probably never be resolved
And I just wanna add I agree its easy to see David persepctive. But again think about anyone else in the wrestling industry. It would not be easy for literally everyone else in the locker room to deal with the aftermath of the Benoit tragedy especially if they were forced to hypothetically wrestle David. Especially if he was using his fathers name like he says he wants to. Again, no shade at all but its way more complicated than a lot of these comments are making it out to be. If you are gonna put yourself in Davids shoes put yourself in the shoes of every other person in the industry esepcially those who worked with Chris. TLDR, this shit is complicated and I just hope David is as okay as can be.
shit gives me chills to watch. i was always scared of Chris Benoit because my older brother told me what he did when i was like 5-6, but to hear his son speak so highly of him really makes me think about who he really was.
He's like a mix of his dad and Daniel Radcliffe
People will call this hate but can we finish talking about this already? Owen will never be in because his family doesn’t want him in. Chris will never be in because no matter how he did it or why he did it, he did it, it’s bad and for the company it’s a no no, media will say big company inducts blah blah. So yeah feel bad for him but 🤷🏻♂️😬 can’t do anything
It's a topic that will never be dropped given how high profile Benoit was
For the company it's a no no? Man they run a type ship over there
Someone just needs to be honest with him and tell him that not in a million years will his Dad ever be in the hall of fame. He loves his Dad but he needs to understand what he did and he needs to move on otherwise no one will ever give him a chance. Moving on is important and until he does he's always going to be known as Chris Benoit's son.
Bruh looks like he secretly mad on the inside
I thought he was not Alive.
That was Daniel
David is the mirror image of his late father.
like imagine being dead and your child said this knowing what you did. its amazing to hear him say this 🙌🏿
Like imagine being dead and your son talks about the man who murdered you and your son like this?
@@SharkSprayYTP Woman isn’t his mom bro
Let's not kid ourselves, Chris should never be in the Hall of Fame, and he most likely never will.
He was good, but not good enough to overshadow a double-murder suicide.
Honouring him in the hall of fame would be a disgrace.
Looks at the amount of PoS in the hall he's got a shot

I wish him the best and hope he makes it in WWE or AEW. The son should not suffer for the sins of the father. You can't blame him for still loving and respecting his father.
Erm no one is blaming him for what his father has done 🤦🏾♂️. I hate random comments like this when certain things where never said ever 🙄
@Intello bro what world do you live in, there is a lot idiots in the world that blame him a little. And you don't think there are wrestling promotions and programs that would deny him because of his father?
@@naturalfitness-1 I don’t know I haven’t heard many deny him yet. And btw there are many wrestling companies that deny normal wrestlers anyway so that’s not really an argument. And btw you still haven’t given me evidence that people are literally saying the son is responsible for the fathers actions. All you said to me was essentially “there are billions of people and there could be idiots” lol erm ok but unless I see or hear those comments I’m going to assume it doesn’t exist 🤷🏾♂️
Wow he looks like his dad. As tragic and horrific his story ended, he lives on through his kid. Got to be rough but at least he loves his dad enough to fight for him. It’s one of those hard choices in life, trash my family or forgive and tell of the good times.
If they ever decide to do a biopic on Eddie Guerrero, David Benoit should play the role of Chris
Inducting Chris Benoit into the Hall of Fame is like giving Alex Murdaugh the outstanding citizenship award…
Unfortunately, the love for his father, and his optimism for repairing his father's name, comes off as a bit dilusional. It takes out the fact that his father murdered his younger brother and his mother and his self.
But... In saying that, Chris was his dad, so he love knows no bounds.
David is from Chris's first wife. Nancy wasn't his mother. I agree that he is delusional but not just a bit, try a lot. This guy will never wrestle anywhere ever because he seems kind of off anyway and wasn't Chris Jericho supposedly training him a few years ago? What happened with that? I honestly think that anyone who talks to David Is just doing it to still somewhat exploit the tragedy. I mean, leave this guy alone already he's got nothing to offer and honestly there's nothing that he can do to fix his dad's reputation.
@@bloodguts6786 oh thanx bro for letting me know this now i know why he taking his father and not his dead mom and brother such a shame
@@bloodguts6786 I agree that he does seem kind of off. He also seems to be going no where with wrestling. Hope he gets help and doesn’t have his own tragic legacy.
@@allonkesselman4067 I saw this interview when it originally came out and immediately thought something was off with David. He truly comes across delusional,,,,,father or not something isn’t clicking up stairs.
Also, him as a wrestler???? COME ON🤣🤣🤣
He seems a bit like his dad crazy
I love Chris for doing this interview the way he did. David clearly wasn't ready for the huge explanations or answers to questions yet. Chris kept the video going so well and I'm so happy to hear what David thinks or how he feels about everything. Was so awesome to be reminded Chris had 2 sons and to hear from him
David is lucky he wasnt home that day lol
Lol man
Chris Benoit was my all time favorite wrestler, his son looks like a carbon copy of him. Hope he does fill those big shoes
Sadly he won't, nobody will give him a chance, it sucks because he obviously isn't responsible for his dad's actions.

Very true
How? What is wrong with him?
@@antoniosalieri1048 Well the fact he thinks his dad will go to the HOF shows he's delusional.
@@vincesmith2499 It's obvious that David doesn't condone what his father did but he wants him to be inducted for what he did IN the wrestling business. Not OUTSIDE of it. Some people like Benoit because of his matches in WWE not because of his actions.
@@antoniosalieri1048 You can't ignore the murders. He will never be inducted.
Benoit deserves the hall of shame. Unforgivable what he did. No talk of HoF shoukd ever be entertained with that name.
Idc what anyone says, he KILLED HIS WIFE AND CHILD! Idc why idc the damage (other than protecting future athletes health) he MURDERED. He doesn’t deserve that.
They won't do it based on not wanting to accept that he had CTE. Chris Benoit DOES deserve it based on his amazing career.
Hey uhh thechurchboy2011 no one really cares what you think. besides the he was doing over the years we're making him messing his mind up.
After all he's achieved in his career like WCW World Champion, Royal Rumble 2004 winner, WrestleMania XX Main Event & World Heavyweight Champion he deserves it.
It was a mistake Chris with the brain damage. A mistake that can never be fixed. But do a favor and just shut up okay.
@@weirddd469 So did everyone else. Alot of people who are in the HOF took steroids. It's not about steroid use. It's about what they did in the company.
@@TTVPandaLicious no he does, fuck his career, and fuck anyone who tries to downplay what happened
WWE is scripted. Their HoF is about popularity. Also hall of famers are about celebration of one’s legacy. Chris destroyed his legacy when took his families lives. Why is worthy of celebration again? It would disrespect all the other members of that HoF.
Never they dropped his name from the record books. After what he did
David we r rooting for you man, we all love you very much
I wonder if David realizes that if he had chose to spend the weekend at his Dad's house that he most likely would've been killed as well.
I can see Benoit making it in, but not as an actual induction, just quietly slide him into it without announcing they have.
That's never going to happen.
He definitely deserves to be in the HOF
The GREATEST OF ALL TIME
No one can deny he gave everything he had everytime he stepped in a ring
I agree with you 100%. But his actions are whats preventing him from getting in.
He’s a murderer he doesn’t deserve to be on the HOF

It's crazy scary how much he looks like Chris!

Of course he wants his dad in. He doesn’t want to remember him as a murderer but he was. IT SHOULDN’T HAPPEN.
No one He wasnt a murder he was brain damaged
@@christiansoldier77 oh my gosh he was brain damaged? That totally excuses the lives he took! Not to mention his little boy! MURDERER
@@NoOneExists Yeah it's like being insane. If he is brain damaged he was not in his right mind and didn't know what he was doing.
@@christiansoldier77 Oh no “poor” guy killed his own family. I don’t care what the excuse is, bottom line he KILLED them with his own bare hands.
@@NoOneExists So if you killed someone while driving drunk would that make you a bad person?
I just want to give him a big hug. He’s been through a lot, you can see it in his eyes. Dude really needs to sleep. And I applaud him for talking about his dad as he remembers him, not for what happened that night. At some point point though I think he’s going to need help.
some peple eyes are naturally like that its called haven suken eyes almost my whole familiy has eyes like that
He look like his dad twin lol 💯🎯🔥🤣😂
He talks and looks like his dad ❤❤❤❤❤
This poor guy.... Brother, your dad was a monster. He's never going in.
Goofy Chris Benoit had the brain of an 80 yr old Alzheimer’s patient he was mentally ill a monster he was not smh go do some research
This poor kid. But he’s deluded if he thinks they going to put a convicted murderer of his child and wife in the HOF
I feel badly for the kid. Obviously he loved his father and Benoit was a good wrestler. But, he committed a crime that is beyond cruel and foul. You don't get recognized for that. You don't get rewarded for that. And to put him in the HOF would be to open old wounds again for a lot of people just by mentioning his name. Those who knew him and wrestled with him, those who were fans, have the memories they need to have. Benoit deserves no place in the HOF. None. Regardless of his abilities. He escaped justice via suicide. This is the only way we can hold him accountable now. By not giving him ANY kind of glory.
