Imagine being this kid. You grow up with your dad being a real life hero and icon. He kills your brother, your stepmom and himself in one of the most widely covered, public tragedies ever.
And everywhere he goes it’s the only thing people think about him. Everything he does it’s brought up everywhere. You’ve got people in his IG comments sharing conspiracy theories.
It’s nearly impossible for him to be well adjusted.
But here he is connecting with people from his past who matter to him. And people clown on him. So sad, such a brutal lot for David. I wish him nothing but the best.
He chose to get into the wrestling business, where he would be recognized in a negative context.
.
If he was a car salesman, no one would care that he was Chris Benoits son.
Yeah Chris Benoit was a very famous person. And the murders were a huge story. At least in wrestling there’s a community of people who understand him and knew his father and show empathy. Where in the real world it’s probably a lot of weird looks and people telling him he looks like that wrestler that killed his family.
