Season 2 of Vice’s Dark Side of the Ring series recently kicked off in a big way with an episode focused on Chris Benoit.
The first episode featured several scenes of footage with a man resembling Chris Benoit in a ring performing moves from Benoit’s repertoire.
It turns out that the wrestler playing Benoit was Tyson Dux, who worked with TNA in the past, and has also made a few appearances for WWE over the years.
Dux took to Twitter to say that it was an honor to play Benoit when he posted the following:
“It was an honour to play Benoit. I idolized him growing up. He is the reason I wanted to be a pro wrestler. To be apart of this was surreal. If you haven’t yet check this out.”
