RIP Chris Benoit

Owen Hart, The British Bulldog, Mr. Perfect, Big BossMan, Earthquake, Bam Bam Bigallow, Sensational Sherrie, Eddie Guerrero, these are some of the wrestlers which I grew up seeing them wrestle, and now Chris Benoit is part of them.

The first time I saw Chris he was part of the Four Horsemen in the WCW and even there he was impressive and dominating.

Years later I find him again in the WWE, during that time he truly gain my respect and admiration.

He’s different from all the other wrestlers, he fought with total pride and appreciation that deserves everyone’s respect. He fought with all his heart and soul, we can all see that in his fights. I was amazed when he won the royal Rumble back in 2004, even when he was the first one to enter, and I was truly happy for him when he won the World title in Wrestlemania 20, it was the best triple threat match I ever saw and you could see the emotion on Benoit’s face when he won and Eddie Guerrero came up to the ring to congratulate his old friend, that wrestlemania moment was truly unique.

I saw in DVD the fight he had with Bret Hart in memory of the late great Owen Hart, it was the most emotional fight I ever saw in my life and both men gave their best for Owen.

Last year Smackdown came to Portugal and every was excited to see him live, every one cheered and applauded him because we Portuguese respected him a lot, he’s one of the best wrestlers who we look up to, the man who has a heart of a champion.

My sympathy and prays goes to him and to his wife and son who also died.


You were the best Chris…..
We’ll miss you……
Portugal already misses you……
