I remember watching his matches on the re runs of old shows of ITV wrestling and WWF shows from the 80s. Him and Bulldog were the first British wrestlers I was aware of.
His personal life was the kind they could make a movie about and he was another guy who received problems due to the use of the Diving Headbutt and other such moves. |

RIP.
many of those who followed owe the man a debt of gratitude. he was a game changer for pro wrestling. he should also be a warning sign for those doing all those insane moves as young men. do you really want to wind up a crippled old man years from now? |

No kidding . He was pretty much cooked by 1987.

Inspired many a wrestler, but quite the scumbag by all accounts.
His book is well worth a read, though. |

I'll put aside any comments on him as a person for now, and just say that he was a mind-blowing, decades ahead of his time in-ring talent.

Benoit is probably jacking off his idol at this very moment.

Opened my IG this morning and saw WWE's post about his death. I thought they were acknowledging his birthday until I read the caption.

R.I.P little guy.
Sad to think he spent half his life unable to walk after being such an outstanding athlete. Still, packing that much weight onto a frame that small and then hurling it around on wooden boards and canvas was asking for trouble. SPOILER: show |

Injecting himself with massive amounts of steroids didn't help

You can add Larry “The Axe” Hennig to the threat title if you want.

He deserves his own thread.
