RTW Redux Day 31- Chris Benoit

[monkeystyle]

Okay, so Finlay takes 4th place ahead of John Morrison and just 0.1 behind Gregory Helms. Next up, well I'm deviating from my chosen path in order to possibly spark some interest here. The next 10 installments are going to feature wrestlers who have bit the big one. First up, the Canadian Crippler himself.

Let me finish this by saying, if you can't rate him as a performer, and not on his personal life, and the messy conclusion of, don't bother, I will ignore you.

Chris Benoit has won the following titles:

ECW Tag Team titles
WCW Tag Team titles x3
WWE Tag Team titles x4
WCW TV title x3
WCW US title x2
WWE US title x3
WWE Intercontinental title x4
WCW World Heavyweight title
WWE World Heavyweight title

I was always a fan of Benoit, but much like the last go round on RTW for me, he's not the best of the best. 8.5/10

 

[McLovin]

9/10 - RIP Benoit and his wife and son. Great performer.

 

[Enigma22]

9/10... one of the best imo

 

[Nation]

8.5/10 He truely had a passion for wrestling and he is one of the greatest in ring wrestlers of all time. Still can't fucking believe i got robbed of seeing Benoit/Punk and so many other fueds.

 

[Wrestling Station]

I still see him not reaching the qualities of Bret Hart imo. As Bret would get a perfect 10 as the best technical and in ring wrestler of all time..

oh wait.. i should rate Benoit!!!

ok he gets 8/10 coz he was shy on mic and always shaked his trapezius muscle to tease me

 

[Christian]

9/10 def one of my favorites, :'( when he died

 

[PeepShow]

If only he had some better stick skills and more charisma. Boy, he could have been one of the all time great. Still very good though indeed.

8.5/10

 

[Conc3pt]

In my opinion, he was probably the greatest technical wrestler ever (thats right, better than Bret Hart). If only he didn't sound so awkward on the mic, he would challenge The Rock, Stone Cold, Bret Hart etc. as the greatest overall wrestlers.

9/10.

 

[MTG]

7/10 i may be a big hater, but i was never a fan, i can't deal with the guys who can't speak on the mic i mean comon, learn to talk

 

[phantomgerald]

He never really showed off his mic skills, and he was never stuck in the main event zone. He was always floundering. Nothing against his wrestling skills though.

8.5/10

 

[Nancy Di Loreto]

9.9/10 For The Crippler, but the lack of mic skills brings him down. Still an amazing wrestler, performer and athlete...

 

[Dylanfsd]

10/10 loved him...

 

[C4]

He could have ended his life in a better way but technically the man was a great in-ring performer. He was the 3rd best technical wrestler of all time. And that's what really matters, 9/10 for the Late Great Chris Benoit. RIP

 

[CenaMark54]

6.5/10

He was always great in the ring. However, he had no mic skills and, to me, he was as generic as they come.

 

[1chiban]

7.5/10.

Him winning at Wrestlemania 20 and the embrace with Eddie was emotional. But as said above by some other esteemed members, he was a very good technical wrestler, but not always that exciting.
