The Chris Benoit legal drama just won’t end. I can understand though. This is a pretty harsh tragedy that will be hard to get over and the family is seeking justice.

Dr. Phil Astin, who prescribed drugs to former WWE star, Chris Benoit is being sued by the Benoit family for wrongful death. The toxicology reports revealed that it was the drugs that led Benoit to murder his wife and son, then took his own life after.

Chris Benoit was known as the best technical wrestler in the wrestling business, and most famous for a finisher called, the Crippler Crossface. He was also longtime best friends with another pro wrestler who also died of drugs, Eddie Guerrero.

It’s still a sad thing. Chris Benoit used to be a favorite of mine before the murder suicide controversy. I used to love the guy as a wrestler/performer. I used to look forward to any match Chris Benoit did and lost all my respect for him like everyone else.

Hopefully the WWE will prevent this from happening again. The Benoit controversy still feels like it just happened yesterday.
