WWE: 10 Real Life Wrestler Romances That Ended In Heartbreak

1. Chris & Nancy Benoit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvnkA6Ze7H0 Nancy Elizabeth Toffoloni known by her in-ring names Woman and Fallen Angel, was a professional wrestling valet and manager. In 1997 Woman became engaged to professional wrestler and fellow WCW star Chris Benoit, after their on-screen relationship developed into a real-life affair and resulted in her divorce from another WCW worker Kevin Sullivan. Nancy was last seen on air as Woman in May 1997. Benoit moved to WWE in 2000 and worked his way to the top of the company with him winning the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania XX. Nancy gave birth to the couple€™s son Daniel in February 2000 and they were married in November 2000. In 2003 Nancy filed for divorce citing €œcruel treatment€, however she later dropped the suit and the restraining order she had taken out against her husband. On June 25, 2007 the lifeless bodies of Benoit, 40, Nancy 43, and their son Daniel, 7, were recovered from their Atlanta suburb home. Investigators concluded this was a case of double murder by strangulation followed by suicide that took place over the course of 3 days. Chris€™ autopsy report revealed an elevated amount of testosterone level in his blood. This was apparently common treatment for testosterone replacement in people who had suffered testicular atrophy following past steroid abuse. There are many theories out there as to how and why Benoit could have committed such a horrific crime. Sadly nobody will every truly know what drove him to murder the people he loved most.
