Quotes
Self - Professional Wrestler: So Vince McMahon calls a meeting at the ring.
Self - Former WWE Superstar: Dean Malenko was sitting next to me. I just had this really bad feeling. Dean's like, "There's something wrong. Something is not right."
Self - Professional Wrestler: That's when Vince McMahon stands up in the ring and says, "We just got word, that Chris Benoit, Nancy, and Daniel have all passed away." And the gasps, of course, around the ring.
Self - Professional Wrestler: I remember Vickie cause she just let out this hurling scream.
Self - Former WWE Superstar: I freaked out and I started crying. Dean kind of stood up and took my hand and walked me off to the back.

Very balanced

Very good insight without being critical, I met Benoit in 2004 as a kid and remember thinking he was a very professional but not a nice guy, this show really focused on who he was without all the finger pointing and too much blame (it's not a documentary not a court case) insightful and well put together.
