#1 Chris Benoit
There is perhaps no tragedy that could even come close to the Benoit double-murder and suicide back in 2007. Benoit, who was widely regarded as one of the greatest technical wrestlers in history, failed to show up at WWE Vengeance back in 2007. Concerned colleagues, friends and relatives tried reaching out to the Benoit family to no avail.
When the police eventually showed up, Chris, Nancy and Daniel were found dead. After a thorough investigation, it was revealed that Chris had murdered his wife and son over the course of three days, before hanging himself.
While the reasons for the killings are unclear to this day, it was later revealed that Chris’ brain resembled that of an 85-year-old Alzheimer’s patient. Telephonic recordings were then released, which were exchanged just days before the heinous incident took place.
