19 Things We Learned From Nancy Benoit's Sister On Talk Is Jericho
13. The Pressure Of The End Of His Career
Sandra believes that Chris was pushing himself an awful lot at work, trying to get the push of being a top guy, and like a lot of wrestlers he was beginning to feel his age and was worried what the future held once his in-ring career was over.
He had no skills outside of wrestling, with that being the only job he'd ever held, and he didn't have a backup plan. Nancy, however was never worried about an exit strategy and already had plans lined up for when her husband's career came to a close.
She was his manager and Nancy had already put plans in place to open a wrestling school in Atlanta. They had even gone so far as to give it a name and have a logo designed, and Sandra confesses that she has about 500 "Benoit Academy" t-shirts sitting around somewhere.
