This song is a response to the actions of Chris Benoit's double murder, suicide. He was a heavyweight champion (2005) WWE wrestler for whom OLP wrote the song "Whatever" as the theme song for his WWE entrances. It was used from 2002-2007. He died 6 days after his last match, on June 25, 2007, after killing his wife and seven year old son. OLP retired the song "Whatever" in 2012 out of respect. If you watch the video for "Heavyweight", the intro reads: "A former boxer escapes to country after a hard fought career. He has a dream of teaching what he's learned to young, disenfranchised youth, pairing wisdom and christian moral values with physical fitness, and self defense. He dedicates his home, and the rest of his life to this pursuit, but soon found himself up against his greatest opponent ever, himself." The general medical consensus is that Chris Benoit's breakdown was caused by Concussion Syndrome. Shorlty before the breakdown, Chris had made plans to leave the WWE to start his own wrestling school, after spending time at Lance Storm's school in Calgary, and said his goal was to retire to teach youth in Georgia.
