My blog from myspace.
Most of my friends won't get this as they aren't into wrestling at all, but whatever. This is dedicated to the man Chris Benoit. He was a professional wrestler & apparrently gave everything into his work. Everyone could see it in his matches as he tried to make every match a great one. I started watching wrestling at the age of 7 & to this day can't tell you what exactly it is I love about pro-wrestling. Of course I can show you in a few matches, but I can't explain it. I never liked Hulk Hogan or the Ultimate Warrior. I was big on Bret Hart because he was just a great wrestler. I never watched wcw much, but I always had a love for this guy named Chris Benoit for 2 reasons.
1. He was an awesome technical wrestler & 2. He shared my moms maiden name. Because of that fact, we always joked about having a professional wrestler in our family & when he'd come on my family would say "ha, there's uncle Chris". They never liked wrestling, but they certainly enjoyed that! He had many great matches & I remember how ecstatic I was that he came to the wwe & hoped he would prosper as he never got much of the chance to in wcw. Needless to say he didn't as much until 2004. I remember watching Raw & he had a match w/ Ric Flair & just bloodied his chest up from chops alone.
I regret that I never got to meet him, but I always appreciated his love for this business that I'm now apart of. I can only hope that I can come close to his passion. I almost got the wwe ppv last night just because he was going to work CM Punk for the ECW title. The whole show didn't seem interesting to me at all, but that match, I knew, could possibly steal the show. I felt good knowing that I didn't get it when I heard he cancelled off to take care of family troubles. Of course, now I wish it wasn't so. I just want to send out my love & condolences to his family & friends. I now know people who probably had a chance to meet & be close to him. One especially being Patty & w/ all of your loss, I hope you make it through this alright! You're tougher than nails momma!
I will definitely remember you Chris. I thank you for being a part of this sport & doing all you could to perform for us. You will be missed. Even though you're probably so far related to me, that it was over 300 years ago, I still had a lot of heart for you & it was a pleasure to watch you work! Even never meeting you, you meant a ton for me, especially as a kid! I know you'll be doing fine in heaven! This is definitely the worst day after my birthday ever!
RIP Chris Benoit May 21st 1967-June 25th 2007. Thank you...
