Why wouldnt they want to talk to him? He probably knows a lot of them that were in when his dad was and Jericho is very close to him personally.

A lot of them. Those who knew Chris.
Not his fault his dad had a mushy brain and commited horrible acts because of it.
Because that's what happened at the end of the day. Benoit took too many shots to the head and had a damaged brain.

I mean, I can't say I do the same if I was in his position but if he still wants to be around wrestling, let him.

Good for him, hope he has a great time, you can't blame him for his father's mental health and eventual horrific actions.

I was more shocked he wants to be a wrestler but then I remember that he lives(d?) with his mom and probably didn't see everything that it did to his dad outside that one weekend. As for the question in the OP, he is close with Jericho, Tyson and Nattie I believe and God know who else from his previous visits to shows.

I feel SO sorry for this kid. Through no fault of his own, his WWE career can never happen.
Perhaps he can be somewhat successful in Japan, but no American company can ever touch him.

I have no respect for the guy, not because of his father's deeds, but because he was so eager to become a wrestler without even ever being trained that he was letting an unscrupulous promoter exploit his last name as long as he could get in the ring. The "match" didn't end up happening, and sure the promoter was more to blame, but Benoit allowed it to happen until Jericho stepped in and shut the whole thing down.

I thought there was a general consensus that the kid was off his rocker.

I thought there was a general consensus that the kid was off his rocker. Based on the post above yours and also the fact that he want to wrestle under his dad's name and not a ring name/mother's name, yeah...he does seem rather off. Hopefully the kid figures his life out and I hope he succeeds if he does pursue the wrestling business. And yeah I'm sure plenty of the boys will hang out with him and I imagine a lot of the senior wrestlers and upper management have sympathy for the guy.

Fair play to the guy if he wants to get into Wrestling.
Obviously I can understand if they won't let him use the Benoit name, but he should be allowed a chance.

Why not?
He didn't do anything.

If he is wanting to wrestle, Japan or Europe is the place to go or in his case Canada too, he'll be very well looked after and out of the limelight plus their audiences are intellectual enough to know he didn't murder anybody. It depends if an American company touches him or not, if he turns out to be talented then why not? But its very unlikely he'll end up in WWE.
