<p>It&#8217;s been almost 13 years and still, the WWE Universe is yet to come to terms with the circumstances that surrounded the death of <strong>Chris Benoit</strong>, his wife Nancy and their young son Daniel. Back in 2007, Benoit was scheduled to appear at the Night of Champions pay-per-view but when he didn&#8217;t appear, WWE sent someone to check his house and found the bodies of the three family members.</p>



<p>Ahead of his death, Benoit sent a number of text messages to wrestlers on WWE&#8217;s roster which later seemed strange when it became clear that he was the one behind the deaths. The deaths were all later ruled as a result of &#8220;roid rage.&#8221;</p>



<p>Benoit left behind a son with his first wife called <strong>David</strong> who now wants to step into a wrestling career himself and follow in his father&#8217;s footsteps. David recently spoke to Chris Van Vliet where he commented on the circumstances surrounding his father&#8217;s death.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>&#8220;Conspiracy theories are just a joke, Kevin Sullivan didn&#8217;t do anything, you know? We looked into that and never had the police look into him, so yeah. I didn&#8217;t want to believe it. I thought someone broke into the house or some s— and did it, but apparently there was a scuffle at the door. That&#8217;s what I heard.&#8221;</p></blockquote>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>&#8220;I thought it was a joke when I first found out, I was in Edmonton doing a fundraising thing with my sister. My mom got a call from RCMP telling her to come down (to Georgia). My mom told me. My grandfather (Chris&#8217; father) went down (to Georgia). He was in control of it. My mom couldn&#8217;t do it because she had to take care of me and my sister. He was in control of the estate and the lawyers.&#8221;</p></blockquote>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>&#8220;I punched a cop, I punched him right in the chest. I thought it was a joke, I really did. I just didn&#8217;t believe it, bro. I think the day it really hit me was at his funeral, that was a hard day. I laid him to rest,&#8221;</p></blockquote>



<p>David also later stated that he believes that his father will go into the WWE Hall of Fame one day.</p>
