The Greatest wrestler ever!
Chris Benoit is truly the greatest to wrestle for any company. this is a brilliant DVD if not the best wwe DVD ever along with eddie guerreros cheating death stealing life. if you love to watch technical wrestling then dont hesitate to buy this, this dvd shows off the greatest wrestler who ever lived doing what he did best WRESTLING!

Bad man
I would not watch this as it is about a very bad man, he killed a child and a woman.

A sad reminder of more 'innocent' times.
Chris Benoit was the greatest wrestler of his generation, a two-time World Heavyweight Champion in the two biggest promotions the industry has ever seen, and a man who managed to get almost every single fan on his side with no gimmicks and through nothing more than being the very best at what he did. His career has seen a myriad of legendary contests - his Best of Seven series with Booker T in WCW, his matches with Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero in WCW and ECW, his ladder match with Chris Jericho at the 2001 Royal Rumble, his matches with Kurt Angle in 2001 and later at the 2003 Royal Rumble, and of course his run in the early part of 2004 that saw him sky-rocket his way into legacy status. The death of Guerrero (and, later, Mike Durham) in November two years ago may very well have gone some way towards robbing Benoit of his marbles, but you'd have to believe that the tragic double-murder/suicide that Chris supposedly carried out in July of this year was the result of concussions and injuries sustained in the ring. And, when you see just how much he put into every single appearence he made, it's not difficult to understand. Here's a man who jumped face-first out of the ring straight through a chair and into the barricade. A man who broke his neck in 2001, and whose primary finishing move was a headbutt from the top rope. Benoit gave it all to the profession he loved, and in hindsight he gave too much. His departed wife and son are the proof of that. I miss Benoit deeply and I wish he'd never left, but more to the point he has two remaining children who've just lost their father, stepmother and half brother this year. Do you really think it helps them when they see hot-headed, arrogant and idiotic comments made about how Benoit is in hell or was 'cold-blooded' from people who never met him and have done absolutely no research? No, it doesn't. And those that continue these attacks are of a more distinguished and detestable evil than Chris has been made out to be. If any good has come out of this, it's that it is now easier than ever to tell the difference between someone who's legitimately concerned, and someone who's using events to their own narcissistic advantages.

Anyway, I've rambled for a bit too long, so I'll wrap this up. Buy the DVD. Show the WWE that they can do all they want to pretend he never existed, but they'll never take away the memories or the respect. Survivor Series proved this, as the crowd cheered and a small but noticable section chanted 'Benoit' when Shawn Michaels applied the Crossface to Randy Orton. If you want this DVD, and you want to appreciate the most amazing of careers, do yourself a favour - make your own mind up.
