10 Most Revealing Wrestling Shoot Interviews

3. Chavo Guererro Talks About The Last Days Of Chris Benoit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8BCRToSsIE While interviewed on Chris Jericho€™s Talk Is Jericho podcast earlier this year, pro wrestling veteran, tag partner and nephew of Eddie Guerrero and WCW/WWE alumnus Chavo Guerrero went on the record about what he knew of the tragic last few days of Chris Benoit€™s life. They were travelling the loop together at the time, and the shows that week began near Benoit€™s rural home near Atlanta, Georgia so Chavo was invited to stay with Benoit and his family prior to travelling. He€™d missed his flight at the end of the week€™s shows, while Benoit made his€ and never saw him again. He heard from him, though. Chavo would speak to him on the phone that weekend, on the Saturday morning. Benoit was evasive and sounded€ off. He said that he€™d had a rough few days with Nancy and their son Daniel being ill, and had had to take them to the hospital. Before he said goodbye, he made a point of telling Guerrero that he loved him. All evidence indicates that this would have been after he killed his wife, but before he killed his son and then himself. Even seven years after the event, it€™s rough to listen to the details. Chavo was one of Benoit€™s closest friends in wrestling, like a brother to him, and both men had taken Eddie Guerrero€™s sudden death eighteen months previously very, very hard. With few interruptions from Jericho (for a change), this is the honest and uncensored account of the last time Chavo Guerrero saw, spoke to and heard from Chris Benoit€ and how he found out what happened to the Benoit family.
