19 Things We Learned From Nancy Benoit's Sister On Talk Is Jericho
19. Her First Time Meeting Chris
In what has to be considered a classic pro wrestling story, Sandra’s first meeting with Chris took place backstage at the 1996 Great American Bash. It was in the midst of Chris’s feud with Nancy’s husband Kevin Sullivan, which was one of the most heated in wrestling history.
The two had a memorable brawl where they fought all over the arena, and Sandra asserts that the bout was more shoot than work. She says that after the cameras went off Ric Flair came and signaled for her and Kevin’s daughter to come backstage where the two men were still going at it and had to be separated by WCW personnel.
Sandra said everyone was leaving and Chris told her that her sister wanted her to come with him, and she responded that she was leaving with Kevin because he’s her brother-in-law. Chris assured her that wasn’t what Nancy wanted and called her so Nancy could confirm to Sandra that she needed to leave with Chris and she would explain later, saying “I want you to leave with Chris right now. Get out of there.”
