The Wrestler Murders: The True Story of Chris and Nancy Benoit

By James Falcon

Chris and Nancy Benoit were one of the many American couples who met and formed a relationship through their professional wrestling careers. Chris was a wrestling veteran of 22 years, and had held 22 championships across various promotions such as WWE, WCW, NJPW and ECW. He had been a headline act and a world champion on a number of occasions. Nancy Benoit was a valet and model for the ECW and WCW during the mid 1990s, under the simple ring names "Fallen Angel" and "Woman." She had previously been married to Jim Daus and Kevin Sullivan, whom she had met during her time with Florida Championship Wrestling. After an on-screen relationship, an affair and her divorce from Sullivan, she married Chris Benoit in 2000. She was his manager, and the pair had a child together, named Daniel.But their marriage was not a happy one. In 2003, just three years after their marriage, Nancy filed for divorce citing that the couple's marriage was 'irrevocably broken' and that she had been treated with cruelty by her husband. She dropped the suit, as well as a restraining order against Chris; but just a few years later she, her husband and their child were found dead in the family home in a double murder suicide.
