Is Chris Benoit the greatest technical wrestler of all time?

[Crayo]

Simple question really, yes or no?

 

[Jonathan]

If WWE would take the reigns off Daniel Bryan and CM Punk, I would say they are.
But because of that, I'd say Benoit is, yes. Well, was, anyway.

 

[Super Saiyan Goku]

YES! But saddly no 1 will remember b/c of what he did to his family! Great Wrestler but an Evil Human!

 

[Crayo]

Explain a bit more? You mean if there was no title around Punk & Bryan they'd be the greatest technical wrestlers of all time?

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Punk?? really?? He isn't in the same league as Benoit. Bryan is up there, but not quite.

Give me Dynamite Kid and Benoit all day over those guys

Crayo, he is talking about WWe limiting them in the ring, which is true compared to their ROH days when they were allowed to do whatever they wanted in the ring.

Saying Punk isn't up there is completely ignorant.
You've obviously never watched Punk/Bryan matches in ROH that go for over 30 minutes have you...

Of course I have. Punk is sloppy in the ring. He is a great all arounder, but nowhere near the elite as far as being a technician. I realize you are a Punk fanboy, but let's try to stay objective here. Punk doesn't belong in the same discussion as the all time greats like Benoit, Guerrero, Dynamite Kid, Malenko, or even Daniel Bryan

Punk Fanboy?

Name, Ziggler.
Avatar, Ziggler.
Signature, Ziggler.

Hypocrite? Yes.

Did I mention Ziggler in this thread? Stop trying to change the subject

I at least could admit to being a Ziggler fanboy

Point being, you called me a Punk fanboy, which I'm not.

Anyway, back on topic or warnings will be handed out by Crayo.

You are the one getting off topic, not me. Punk isn't on the same level as the guys I've mentioned ITT, end of story. Feel free to disagree

I'm surprised it's taken this long for anybody to mention Bret Hart.

Give me Bret Hart and Dynamite Kid over Benoit easily. But Benoit probably belongs in the top 5. And I think Eddie Guerrero is underrated as well, he'd rank highly.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I started to mention Bret, but I was never a fan. I'd rather watch Owen wrestle than Bret

 

[Crayo]

In my opinion Punk at his best is in the same league as Chris Benoit, maybe not in the top 4 but would still be in the league . At his best I mean no sloppy ring-work etc.

Danielson I think could be up there competing with Benoit as the best.

Was also going to mention Bret in the OP in a list of comparisons, but I didn't want people to argue with my list -.-

You started it by calling me a punk fanboy.

End of off topic.
