Terry was great on camera

I immediately thought of Terry also, but I think he meant Dory.

Some things didn’t feel right about this Benoit episode. I had never heard any stories about Kevin Sullivan beating Nancy.

It seems like they tried saying this is why she left Kevin for Benoit, but if anything, I got the sense that she was already sleeping with Benoit, which is why he hit her, if he even really hit her.

They really tried painting Benoit as this angel who could never do anything like this in his right mind. Everything I’ve read and heard about the guy says he was just as intense outside the ring as he was in the ring.

They made it seem like he only became abusive when he started losing his shite towards the end, which I don’t think is true. Didn’t even mention how he was injecting his youngest son with HGH or something.

They shouldn’t have let his friends be in control of this doc to try painting a softer picture of him. I have no issue with friends of his having good memories and speaking on that.

But, since Jericho and Chavo it seemed where in control of this doc, the whole thing was basically, “oh he was this great guy who no one thought could be violent”.

I think Benoit was already someone who was a little crazy and something was off with him. Then the steroids, brain damage, and depression all added to the kind of intense person he already was, which ended with him doing what he did.
