WWE Royal Rumble 2001 Roster: Where Are They Now?

Then: Benoit went into the 2001 Rumble as the reigning IC Champion, but he'd drop that belt in a crunching brawl with Chris Jericho. It's incredible to look back on Benoit's career around that time; he had the world at his feet, and was one of the most respected wrestlers on the roster.

Now: You know what happened next.

Benoit's legacy came to a miserable end. He was responsible for the 2007 murders of his wife Nancy and young son Daniel, then took his own life. WWE may never mention the Canadian ever again, and nobody can blame them for that.
