David Benoit showing up at AEW Dynamite in Edmonton got fans talking again about whether he might still follow in his fathers footsteps, but the latest word suggests that probably isnt happening. During the Fightful Select Answers Q&A, where questions submitted by subscribers are addressed, Sean Ross Sapp responded to curiosity about Benoits future after fans spotted him backstage at the show. Benoit has spoken in the past about wanting to wrestle, but those plans never fully came together. While addressing the subscriber question, Sapp explained that Benoit did try training at one point, but it didnt last long and didnt lead to anything serious. There was also a moment years ago where Benoit nearly ended up in the ring before he was ready, but veteran wrestlers stepped in to shut that down before things got out of hand. Sapp explained that Smith Hart had tried to book Benoit on a wrestling show despite him not having formal training, which raised immediate red flags. Even though a wrestling career doesnt appear likely at this stage, Benoit still keeps close ties to the business and enjoys being around it whenever he can. Sapp noted that Benoit continues to attend shows and has remained welcome backstage in both major promotions. At 33 or 34 years old, starting from scratch in pro wrestling would be a steep climb, especially in an industry that usually requires years of training before stepping into the spotlight. For now, it looks like Benoits connection to wrestling will remain as a fan and supporter rather than a performer. Fans were quick to take notice after seeing him at AEW Dynamite, but based on whats being said behind the scenes, the idea of him launching a full wrestling career seems far less likely than it once did. Do you think David Benoit should still give wrestling a shot, or is it better that he stays involved as a fan instead of stepping into the ring? Let us know what you think.
