• “May he burn in hell” – Former IMPACT Wrestling Champion On Chris Benoit
Whenever the name of Chris Benoit comes up in a conversation, it always leads to a heated exchange between the fans.
A fan recently tweeted:
“It’s always wild listening to wrestlers discuss Chris Benoit in a professional context cause they always be sure to note they aren’t excusing what happened before praising his in-ring stuff for 10 minutes.
Except New Jack.”
Former IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace then replied:
“This is gonna be the coldest take I ever tweet on this app. I already know y’all gonna be mad.
I don’t think Benoit could 100% hang with most of the present day best wrestlers. He would not be able to remember matches. Also may he burn in hell, amen 🙏🏼
Proving a point: I said something very lightly critical about him. People jump to defend him. He should NEVER be defended. Dude lost that right when he gave his 7 year old Xanax and strangled him while he was already unconscious.”
A fan then replied:
“Removing the CTE, you don’t think Benoit in his prime could keep up with the best of today? May I ask what the rational behind that is?”
Jordynne replied:
“Maybe I’m biased because he murdered his family, idk. Probably just me. I think we should all hate him and disregard his entire body of work. But again. That’s just my take.
I always found it revolting to see people praise his wrestling after what he did.”
TNA Hall Of Famer & former WWE Women’s Champion Gail Kim tweeted:
“Controversial for sure. I disagree though with the take of hanging with the best of the best of today. He most certainly could and I saw someone comment Kurt Angle couldn’t either. He would mop the floor with everyone.”
Grace then replied:
“I just personally can’t separate the person from the wrestler.”
