Join Lauren and Bally this week as they investigate one of the most shocking tragedies in professional wrestling history: The Chris Benoit Case.

In June 2007, former WWE star Chris Benoit killed his wife Nancy and their 7-year-old son Daniel before taking his own life. The murders stunned fans around the world and left behind a trail of unanswered questions about what happened in the Benoit home and what may have led to the tragedy. We explore Chris’s rise through the wrestling world, Nancy’s life and legacy, Daniel’s story, and the lasting impact the case had on wrestling, mental health awareness, and conversations around brain injury and CTE.

If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health, support is available.
