Does Wifebeater count as Chris Hero or are they consider two different people? Also, this man along with Byran, Punk, Steen, Joe, and Claudio created the modern day wrestling style in a manner of speaking. Also, Chris had one of the best RoH theme songs to this day. To me, picking a great Hero match is hard to decided on, but here is one match, well highlights, that shows why he is a genius at wrestling.


Also, a bonus video explaining everything perfectly

Whenever I'm posting people I try to do their most known alias, and or what seems to be the fan favorite, or what they are most known for.

Anything the person has done under any name to me is a great way to learn about them more.

Isn't there a Wifebeater from CZW as well?

That is cool, and yes there was a wrestler in CZW called Wifebeater. Chris Hero was known as The Wife Beater, my fault, way early in his career, but due to the controversy of the name and gimmick he changed it.

I saw the name on his wiki and I wasn't familiar with that gimmick, that's interesting.

That is fine. I don't except to know a lot like do so I am willing to share my useless knowledge, lol. Yeah his gimmick was pretty self explanatory. His finisher was called The Domestic Violence, and he changed his name/gimmick because a women's group, I forgot the name of it, protested in front a show and this was even mentioned on Bill Maher's show Politically Incorrect. He changed his name to Chris Hero after a promotion in Ohio refused to book him until he changed his name.

Chris Hero is a legendry name, so it was for the best.

Agreed. Plus, his logo was pretty awesome so.

Was a big Kings of Wrestling and Hero fan before he signed with WWE, still legit loved his WWE run but man it's hard not to be disappointed

Even at the end when he was doing shit in NXT UK bro, dude was just good

 

[Alexa]

Personally, I think some of that is Chris' weight and a few other things, but yeah his runs in WWE were both a bust. Though they could have done a Kings of Wrestling II, but nah

I didn't really want it at first but once it was "Cesaro & [insert wrestler here] are tag champions again" over and over I was like "Hey Kassius Ohno is available" every time Cesaro was floudering in singles between teams

I get it and I agree with you, but I just wanted because they are one of my favorite tag teams of all time so it would have been cool.
