- Michael Benoit, the father of former World heavyweight champion Chris Benoit, will give his first in-depth prime time interview tonight at 9PM EST on Larry King Live on CNN. His family and Nancy Benoit's family are currently locked up in a legal fight to see who will get the estate of Chris whose assets are worth millions of dollars. A report released by two neurosurgeon doctors just days ago revealed that Chris Benoit's brain had massive damage from repeated blows and concussions from his wrestling career and the findings were enough to attribute the cause of his actions.
