Benoit: 10 Years Later

It’s been 10 years since the horrific events of the last few days of Chris Benoit’s life & the murder of his family & his own subsequent suicide, which Y2J has discussed in-depth on this very podcast. But today, Y2J is putting those last few days aside, and talking about Chris Benoit, the wrestler, with noted wrestling expert and journalist Dave Meltzer from the Wrestling Observer. Dave not only covered Benoit’s career from his early days in Calgary and Japan, but was also friends with him. And for many years (the late 90s & early 2000s), Y2J’s career was tightly intertwined with Benoit’s. So Y2J & Meltzer breakdown and analyze some of Benoit’s matches, and many of the matches Y2J worked with him. It’s a controversial discussion that is not meant to glorify Benoit or erase the despicable acts that defined the last days of his life.
