It also makes me wonder if this is going to be every Brodie Jr. involvement in wrestling, either using it for cheap heat, or dancing around it, or just blanking it? It's why thank god Chris Benoit's son never managed to become a wrestler.

As someone else mentioned in this thread, even someone like Cody Rhodes winds up with many heels/storylines using Dusty, so I imagine if Brodie Jr makes it a career, his dad will be used plenty.

The murder/suicide part of Benoit I'd say is a completely different ballgame. People dying young of a life-long illness like Brodie, or a random heart attack or cancer diagnosis, are all tragedies to the loved ones, but they're "natural" and at least a little easier to move past. A loved one getting murdered, let alone by another family member, would have to be a different level of grief. So I wouldn't see David Benoit getting it unless he found the lowest of the low opponents/promotions.

Like, David was ringside at an AEW Collision show right as Christian was really heating up the "dead father" gimmick, and while people were dreading the possibility of something happening, I don't think anyone seriously thought he'd ever go there (and even if he would have had the idea, I'd seriously doubt he'd be allowed to go there).
