We've run through Part 1 of this episode, and wanted to share some of the biggest takeaways from it from how important pro wrestling was to Benoit to how devastating Eddie's death was, here are the biggest takeaways from the first part of the Chris Benoit episode of Dark Side of the Ring. Featured in the episodes are those closest to Chris and Nancy, including Eddie Guerrero's widow Vickie, his nephew Chavo Guerrero, Nancy's sister Sandra and son David, as well as former AEW World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho, Jim Ross, and Dean Malenko. From his rise as a pro wrestling superstar in Japan through stints in the WCW and WWE, viewers get to see how Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero became friends, how Chris and Nancy met and eventually married, and how these tragic situations lead to the disturbing end of the lives of Chris, his wife Nancy, and their young son Daniel.
