Summary

Chris Benoit was a professional wrestler, with some of his peers calling him one of the best wrestlers of all time. On June 25th, 2007, the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office responded to a welfare check requested by World Wrestling Entertainment. Police officers entered the home of Chris Benoit and found the pro wrestler, his wife, and his son dead in what looked like a murder-suicide.

Join Mike and Gibby for episode 1 on the life and crimes of Chris Benoit. Benoit was admired by many and had fans around the world as a result of being on television as a professional wrestler. It was through wrestling that he met his wife, Nancy, in 1990. The marriage became troubled as the years went by with accusations of abuse. Then, the death of Chris's best friend, Eddie Guerrero, seemed to send him on a downward spiral. But what could make a man kill his wife and son and then end his own life?
