By:
Chris Benoit was born and raised in Canada. At a young age, he was exposed to the world of professional wrestling. From that time on, he trained, hoping to become a member of this world. After graduating from high school, he kept at it and soon made his debut in Canada. As his fame grew, he went to Japan. Then into the US. He was a sensation, earning his name after a mishap in the ring where he broke his opponent's neck.
While he had a steady career, his home life was anything but. He married twice. His second wife Nancy and he were separated multiple times throughout the years. At one point Nancy filed for divorce before the two patched it up. Then in 2007 a horrific double murder-suicide. Chris murdered his wife and son before taking his own life. The community was stunned. But everyone wondered, was this the result of steroid over-use. Authorities won't confirm such, but believe it was a contributing factor.
