[6.0] "Ernesto Benefica, whose real name was Ernie Ribeiro, was one of the lesser-known competitors from the early days of Eastern Championship Wrestling. He wrestled under several different names throughout his career, including Herve Renesto, Honest Ernie and Superfly Ernie. Benefica appeared on the very first episode of Hardcore TV, losing to Salvatore Bellomo in a match that lasted just 15 seconds. He continued making appearances for ECW throughout 1993, later adopting the Herve Renesto name and teaming with Don E. Allen as Twisted Steel and Sex Appeal. Although he was never a major name in the promotion, he was part of that original group of wrestlers who helped fill out the cards while ECW was still finding its identity. Just because somebody is a jobber, doesn't mean they deserve a low rating."

[2.0] "As others have said, he's a jobber whose offensive capabilities are just about nonexistent. To see the extent of his abilities, watch his Texas Chain match against Eddie Gilbert on Hardcore TV #11. By the time the match has begun, Eddie Gilbert is already wrapping a chain around Ernesto's neck. Forgettable in the worst kind of way."

[1.0] "Gangly, skinny wrestler who is only notable for being a jobber in ECW. And not even a good jobber. His matches were typically under 2 min for a reason."

[4.0] "He was a jobber in ECW that nobody remembered but technically main evented (and lost) in the first ECW TV card. In this, he lost to Salvatore Bellomo in 15 seconds."
