This Day in Wrestling History

By -
This day 6 years ago the wrestling world was stunned to find out and was forced to come to terms with the unfortunate and scary passing of Chris Benoit & former Manager Nancy "Women" Benoit & Daniel, Chris's son. But I will talk about what happened this day I will talk Chris's career in pro-wrestling. Chris loved the business and gave all he had every single time he was in the ring to make sure the fans got their moneys worth.

Chris is many ways was the backbone for every company he was a part of from ECW to NJPW to WCW to WWE because every time he went out you knew you would get his best. Which is exactly why WCW suffered such a big lose when he left in January 2000 with Eddie, Dean, & Perry to join WWE. Then while in WWE he went on to be a Triple Crown Champion which can be seen below. It's very unfortunate and sad that such a well liked & gifted talent career was tarnished like this; but most fans try and remember Chris for who he was before today and forget what happened today.

Below is Chris's title history:

1 time WWE World Champion
1 time WWE Tag Team Champion
3 times WWE United States Champion
4 time WWE Intercontinental Champion
3 times WWE World Tag Team Champion
2004 Royal Rumble Winner
1 time ECW Tag Team Champion
2 time WCW US Champion
1 time WCW World Champion
3 time WCW World TV Champion


Chris has had countless great matches with the likes of Jericho, Edge, Hunter, Michaels, Guerrero, Sullivan, etc. Below are two moments I think all of us would rather remember on this day to now there was more to Chris.

WWE Fast Lane 2015: PPV Predictions

WWE Fast Lane: WWE Tag Team Title Match: (c) The Uso's vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd As the Tag division gets smaller and smaller in my book the expectations of this match should be getting higher, because the smaller the division the more weight it puts on the shoulders of the teams in the division. I do firmly believe if they give this match the time it could be a good match, as these teams I feel have good chemistry in the ring with each other. I think Cesaro and Kidd walk away with the titles after Nattie turns heel helping Tyson & Cesaro win. Divas Title Match: (c) Nikki Bella w/ Brie vs Paige Though this has been like much of the diva feuds of the past with the fact that this feud has gotten a lot of TV time leading into this match. However, I still fear that WWE isn't ready to give the divas a good amount of time for their matches just yet. I have a funny feeling Nikki will win with help from Brie and this may set up a tag team divas match fo

WZR is reporting that the future of WWE diva Kelly Kelly may be in doubt not that WWE would fire her but that the time off she is taking now may be permenate. Kelly who debuted 6 years ago hasnt really taken any time away from the ring since debut and many think she is burnt out from all the travel. Because of that many feel will not return to WWE but management isnt happy because they feel she is their most marketable diva. While away she is looking into doing things that have nothing do with wrestling as her placement in the Maxim top 100 has opended a lot of doors for her away from WWE. I hope Kelly or WWE dont burn the bridge preventing a possible return for Kelly if she does decide to go away from WWE becuase she is a very marketable talent. The future for the now Former Executive Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis still isnt complete termination as it seems he is making a change from an office employee to a guy on the road. As he is apparently booking the house
