Jericho: Basically he was still alive?
Chavo: He was still alive because he was warm. Then I saw him go from warm to cold. He died right there. Right there.
Jericho: Wow…
Chavo: Ambulance came, they’re giving CPR and everything and they’re just like he’s gone and I was like what if I would have got here an hour before and usually we room together, but we didn’t room together (this time).
They’re like no. They said he had seen something already he would have been gone no matter what. I’m like what?
So now I’m sitting here with my brother dying basically in my arms. I was in shock. I had to go back to my room and call people. I didn’t know who to call.
Jericho: Who did you call?
Chavo: I think I called home. I’m freaking out so I called Fit Finley. Fit was an agent. So I want him to get the word to what’s going on and tell Vince (McMahon) and everybody, I don’t have Vince’s cellphone.
So Pete goes around and makes some calls and all of a sudden I’m in my hotel room just sitting on the bed like what the heck just happened?
Then I get a call from Chris Benoit. He goes “Hey, where are you? I’m downstairs. We’re supposed to meet at 8 o’clock to go work out and eat breakfast.”
And I’m like “Chris sit down” and I told Chris and Chris was like I never heard somebody whale like this deep, deep mourn like I just punched him in the stomach and stole his soul. That’s what it felt like. He was yelling and screaming and just deep, deep, deep, deep “no, no, no!”.
