RAW 25th June 2007 Remembering Chris Benoit

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - This week’s Raw was dedicated in loving memory to Chris Benoit and his family, who were found dead earlier Monday in their suburban Atlanta home. Instead of the planned broadcast, Raw was a three-hour retrospective on the career of the “Rabid Wolverine.”
Throughout the show, highlights of some of Benoit’s greatest professional moments were shown. Footage from his early days in Japan, ECW, WCW and WWE brought Benoit’s memory alive. From a 1990 New Japan clash with Jushin “Thunder” Liger to his WWE debut in January 2000, from his crowning moment at WrestleMania XX to his final WWE match one week ago, Benoit’s brilliant 22-year career was memorialized in retrospect.
WWE Superstars and officials also spoke about the legacy of their fallen friend. Best friends Dean Malenko and Chavo Guerrero, Stone Cold, CM Punk, John Cena and William Regal were among the many to express exactly what Chris Benoit meant to them and to the business of sports-entertainment.
As WWE Superstars and our fans alike begin to mourn the tragic passing of the Benoit family, Raw was a celebration of one of the greatest Superstars to ever set foot inside the ring.
