Jordynne Grace is getting heat after Chris Benoit statement

Chavo Guerrero Jr. Says Jordynne Grace Has “Lost A Lot Of Wrestling Credibility” Following Her Chris Benoit Take​

The topic of Chris Benoit is incredibly contentious among wrestling fans, with many to this day debating whether his horrendous crimes override the talent he brought to the wrestling industry. However, his in-ring ability isn’t typically up for debate, with the vast majority of fans and especially wrestlers consider him one of the all-time best.

Now though, Impact Wrestling’s Jordynne Grace has caused controversy on Twitter by saying that Benoit wouldn’t be able to compete with most of today’s best wrestlers. And while many fans would try and debate this, Chavo Guerrero Jr., a longtime friend of Benoit, would simply tweet that she had lost a lot of wrestling credibility for having such an opinion.

I think @JordynneGrace just lost a lot of wrestling credibility from some of her comments.

Konnan Doesn’t Hold Anything Back In Expletive-Filled Tirade Towards Jordynne Grace​

Former WCW star Konnan wouldn’t be as merciful, and in an expletive-filled rant on his K100 podcast, would say she has made an ass of herself and was ignorant.

I can’t believe that she would publicly come out and make an ass of herself like that, but that ain’t the first time she’s had stupid takes, and you know, with age comes wisdom. You’ll get here soon enough, obviously, you don;t know what the f*ck you’re talking about. Benoit, without a doubt, out of all the years in all the dressing rooms and all the people that I’ve worked with is one of the greatest performers I’ve ever seen his passion was second to none, his intensity was second to none, his preparation was second to none, what do you mean he couldn’t hang with nobody today, bro, ninety percent of the guys today could not hang with him.
He was wrestling with Rey Mysterio, who was a wild f*cking guy that he had to edit down and say, hey do this, Juventud do this, Psychosis do this. So I mean, I don’t know what the f*ck you’re talking about, that’s f*cking ignorant and bro, okay yeah, he killed his family yeah the guy had CTE yeah it ain’t like he was a serial k*ller.

The topic of Chris Benoit is incredibly contentious among wrestling fans, with many finding it difficult to accept he was dealing with CRT and emotional issues stemming from the death of Eddie Guerrero and instead see him simply as a monster. However, anyone who witnessed him compete in his prime and claims he wasn’t talented either has no idea what pro wrestling is meant to be or is lying to themselves. Nevertheless, the events between June 22 and June 24, 2007, will always override what he did in the ring, but his in-ring ability should never be questioned.

"yeah it ain't like he was a serial killer" took me out

But nah Benoit as a wrestler easily would still be one of the best of this generation. Best of any generation really. But I wouldn't get heated making that point to someone who didn't wanna accept it.

Yeah that’s kind of a dumb statement on Grace’s part. Whatever you think about the man, Chris Benoit the wrestler would work circles around 90% of the guys today

 

[Chris]

Yeah I've been watching all this unfold on Twitter and it's honestly been so hilarious lmao I don't even agree with Jordynne's original point but like bro I can see why guys like Chavo particularly got upset tho since he was close with Benoit himself

You see where Lee Moriarty and she were going back and forth? That was a gold mine for memes especially the tweet of him saying "Both you and your husband can't sit at the adult table because y'all's feet can't reach the floor"

I waiting for someone post this because I've been keeping my eyes on this hard the past few days. What Benoit did is terrible we all know that but anyone with two working eyes can tell you Benoit was one of the best Wrestlers of his generation. Just like Dynamite Kid was an inspiration to Benoit as a Wrestler Benoit himself was an inspiration to alot of talent growing up wanting to use that same style within the Ring. For sure it's Grace's opinion but to act like Benoit was some Curtain Jerker compared to the guys today lady go sit in the Corner till I tell you to come out of it.

It comes down to how Jordynne Grace chose to voice her hatred for Benoit.

Nobody would have batted an eye if she was honest and said, "I hate Chris Benoit and hope he's burning in hell."

Instead, she had to pull these mental gymnastics by tearing down his athletic abilities as a performer. Point blank, if Benoit were still alive today, he obviously wouldn't have been able to keep up with the current generation, he'd have been 50+ and with his in-ring style, he would have likely had a tough time walking (not to mention if Benoit doesn't go on a rager he probably suffers a massive heart attack and dies later in 2007-08). Prime Chris Benoit though, and we're talking Benoit from 2000-2004 would have been a massive star in 2022, especially since his whole aura was an underdog who was relatable and could win because he had the killer move.

Jordynne Grace honestly doesn't have much room to speak about in-ring work, and as a wise man once said, "It's better for someone to be silent and thought a fool than to speak and erase all doubt."

If you hate Chris Benoit then so be it. To each their own…

But honestly, I think 50+ year old Chris Benoit would be better than a lot of top guys on the business now. Unfortunately we’ll never know.

Fuck Chris Benoit
I was never a fan because I like charisma and the guy had the personality of a wooden dildo

Jordynne's absolutely right. Benoit couldn't hang with the wrestlers of today, not least because he's dead

Even if he were alive his brains would still be scrambled eggs by this time and he would of had to retire long ago

I don't think its actually the worst take of all time - I think she is allowed an opinion.

The fact that he was human garbage and still has cheerleader rallying to defend just continues to show how fucked the wrestling business still is.
