The documentary was seriously a wild roller coaster of emotions for me... Really well done series.

[joshuafussell]

Another thing the documentary didn’t talk about was other deaths of chris’ close friends after eddies death that fueled it even more. I believe Nancy’s sister talked about it in Jericho’s podcast.

[PhatGirlLuvrComix]

The part when Chavo calls Chris to tell him about Eddie and hears him wail was heartbreaking.

[AtmicPunk]

Legitimately the hardest pro-wrestling-related thing I've ever watched. I'm amazed I got through the whole thing without pausing and walking away.

[yousufseedat]

i am really happy that David is doing well and he still sees his dad as his hero this entier 2 part was heavy

[KeepGaming]

Watching this and the Von Erich episode. Absolutely hit you like a ton of bricks.

[mikelmcfly]

Chavo said Benoit reacted to it as if he was a spouse

[mikethegrunty]

When they brought up unprotected chair shots, all I could think of was mankind vs rock at the 99 royal rumble. Dear god that’s a tough match to watch now

[GamingTechUnited]

Was Steve referring to Eddie and Chris being more than friends at around 12:35? Or am I just processing that sentence wrong?

[originaljibroni]

What's funny is that Sandra said NOBODY, I MEAN NOBODY reached out to her, NOT JUST WWE, NOBODY, and people isolated her from her nephew, Jericho only opened that door recently when they did the doc, but they made it about WWE, let us forget Nancy was not an employee of WWE either.

[_NoDrinkTheBleach]

WWE knew the family was dead, but they assumed it was a gas leak or some sort of non-violent incident. Vince ran with a memorial show because no one wanted to work. They started getting the awful details about 20 minutes before the end of the telecast. I'm sure Vince wishes they had gotten word to him about two hours earlier.

[richardburke]

This was one of the most seral thing I've ever seen in a long time

[Haunter_Who]

I thought the whole special was interesting. I was intrigued sometime back with the Talk is Jericho podcast with Chavo recollecting not only that dark week but the events leading up to it Like Chavo crashing with Benoit at his place I THINK the weekn before it all happened.

To me the saddest and what will always remain the saddest is that David Benoit is an innocent affected by all of this. He lost his father, mother and brother and a company just turned their backs to him and even he was just a child himself. Thank god for people like Chavo and Jericho for reachinf out and helping him and Sandra when they needed it most.

[DarkMortimer]

I'm i the only one that still wonders why there was a knife underneath Daniel's bed.

[blakeandersonECW]

This would be a good time to start doing old Pay Per View Reviews again

[sparkplug]

I remember when it happened. The first info that came out was that they were all dead and no specifics.

[Gorilla_Strong]

As the father of a special needs son, like Benoit and Nancy had with Daniel, I looked at them in a totally different light. I wish that VICE brought that up. With all of the problems Benoit was facing with Eddie's death, he was also dealing with having a special needs son. What he did is unforgivable and I will never be able to watch his matches without feeling betrayed by him and sad for Nancy and Daniel.
Great review guys. Thank you for all the content you guys are putting out. Good vibes from Virginia.

[lordjosh]

One episode Im excited to hear you review is the Owen Hart one later this season

[bigpeabrain]

I cried at the part where chovo started to describe Chris Benoits reaction to eddies death even knowing what he did it was hard to not feel the same pain knowing the way I lost some of my close friends

[HellBrYnger]

how about the fact that the wwe wellness policy was most likely built around the Benoit happenings so something like that wouldnt happen again? it takes one. it always does.
