This thing mostly just saddens me because he was someone who I enjoyed watching perform very much. He was without a doubt one of the best wrestlers to ever lace up a pair of wrestling boots, probably even in the top 5 of all time. The fact that this all happened so suddenly is also making it harder to swallow, like it came out of the blue and was such a smurfed up thing to do. Of course we'll never know why he did it, but it still doesn't stop me from wishing I could know. Why he did such a smurfed up and terrible thing, why he threw away one of the best careers in wrestling history by doing such a stupid thing, why why WHY?

Bah. He's forever tarnished in one of the worst ways possible now, but whenever the discussion comes up I'll still list him as one of the best of all time and one of my favourites. It's just gutted that it all went to this way and he did such a terrible thing.

Edit: Benoit's idol was the Dynamite Kid. Watch clips of the two, you can see the almost freakish similarities between them.
