#4 Chris Benoit commits suicide

This legend will always remain in his fans' heart
This legend will always remain in his fans' heart

When we remember Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit automatically enters our mind. Chris and Eddie were best friends in real life. It is believed that Eddie's death had sent Benoit into depression. He was a great in-ring competitor and a fan favorite superstar.

Chris Benoit hanged himself from his lat pulldown machine, leading to his death on 22nd June, 2007. It is also believed that Chris murdered his family before committing suicide himself. Due to this event, WWE scrambled to distance themselves from Benoit’s misdeeds in the immediate aftermath and into today.

After screwing up royally with a tribute to Benoit in place of regular Raw festivities on June 25, 2007, Vince McMahon infamously opened the following night’s episode of ECW by saying that Benoit’s name would never be mentioned again on WWE programming. And they’ve largely stayed true to that.
