124.03.2024Vanstyler0.0Let's be honest for a second, I fully understand the idea of separating the author from his work, but I also understand that that only applies when the author has not been one of the most controversial killers in history. Chris was without a doubt one of the greatest technical wrestlers in the history of the sport, I loved watching him every time he was on TV. But it is obvious that although he has enjoyed such a prestigious career, it is a career that does not deserve recognition after the events. Many fans are willing to forgive instances of racism, discrimination, bigotry, bullying, and even dangerous egos that destroy the careers of other athletes, but murder is something that should never be on this list. It's a shame that such a talented wrestler ended up descending down a dangerous path that sooner or later would lead him to commit such heinous crimes, but just thinking about the news makes my blood run cold and thinking about the family affected by this individual, it's something that just isn't forgotten inside and outside the ring

612.03.2024YuuRiTK10.0He was a great wrestler and the fact that many people confuse his character with real life is extremely stupid, those idiots have no idea what a rating really means, he sucked yes, but it still doesn't change the fact that he was a great wrestler.

910.03.2024ultravioletshiroi9.09/10 Great wrestler and storyteller, acceptable promo, lacked charisma somewhat but more than made up for it in the ring. He was one of the first smaller guys to really get over in WWE. I think people should separate the art from the artist because this is a wrestling site and we are supposed to grade his wrestling, not his personality or actions outside the ring. Nobody is praising him as a person. What he did was beyond horrible and I could not imagine being in the shoes of Nancy or David during their final moments alive. However I don't believe we should should let emotions get in the way of a fair and honest rating of a person's wrestling skills.
1007.03.2024TallNick210.0Quite possibly one of the greatest in-ring performers. Unmatched intensity (excluding a few, i.e., Angle) that always felt real despite him being one of the smaller talents in any roster. A fairly safe worker, unfortunately he didn't care for his own body. I'm only going to avoid his double murder suicide but Heyman put the whole situation of his legacy really well: "As a talent- remarkable, but as a human being, fuck him." Truly one of a kind, both as a person (hopefully) and an in ring talent. My rating is solely for the in ring talent, not the man behind the character

1516.02.2024mizzysha9.0A fucking master in the ring. Was a bit lacking in charisma, but he made up for it tenfold with every strike, hold, and slam on the mat he ever delivered being akin to an adroit painter meticulously stroking the canvas. Describing what Chris did in wrestling as anything less than art would be disingenuous if not downright insulting. It is indeed a shame how his career ended but the way I see it, if it came out now that Jimi Hendrix smothered 10 starving children to death before his demise it still would not (no, could not) take away from the fact that he was the best guitarist of all time.
1613.02.2024Dirty Diego9.0I know rating Benoit this high is abit messed up , but Im rating the wrestler what he did as a person in the last 48hours of his life obviously destroyed all the great things he did in the wrestling Buisness Im talking as a wrestler he was one of the greatest in ring wrestlers wrestler their was his promos and charisma were not up their with the greats but got better when he joined the wwf in 2000, , he was the recantation of one of my favourite wrestlers of all time The dynamite kid, tragic how it all ended

1809.02.2024Tragiic0.0I honestly do not understand how people are able to look past his work in the ring. While yes, it was decent, I have found him to be fairly uninteresting. However, obviously that is not why I gave him this rating as that would still make him an above average wrestler. The fact that he murdered his wife and son makes him one of the worst people to ever be involved with professional wrestling, and the fact there are still people who attempt to celebrate him, even some who want him to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, is jarring. There is no excuse for what he did; any use of the excuse of CTE is jarring; wrestling has unfortunately had a lot of head injuries, but of those how many have resorted to becoming murderers? In short, I don't care what he did which may have been good, stop celebrating terrible human beings.

3121.01.202486Monfort0.0You can admire his work all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that he KILLED his WIFE and SON. Was he an amazing wrestler, absolutely. BUT HE MURDERED HIS 7-YEAR-OLD SON AND HIS WIFE. Fuck him. If you want an even deeper perspective, let me tell you something. I am a New England Patriots fan and loved Aaron Hernandez when he played for them, I loved the fact that we had 2 of the best TEs in Football at the time, but when he murdered Odin Lloyd, all the respect and admiration I had for him as a 10-year-old child went out the window, I didn't care that he was a big reason why that offense shined, or that he had Hall of fame talent, He murdered someone in cold blood. What Chris Benoit did was even worse. There's a difference between killing another man your age and then there's Killing your WIFE and 7-YEAR-OLD Son.

3407.01.2024RaixnQuinzo10.0Based on purely wrestling, he is one of the best technical wrestlers of all time. Was a bad person, for sure. But this is a wrestling site, so I'm judging it based of wrestling ability and wrestling ability alone.
3504.01.2024Dntbamark In the realm of professional wrestling, stories of triumph and tragedy often intertwine, weaving a complex narrative. From the storied Von Erich family to WCW's historic dominance over WWE for 83 consecutive weeks, only to crumble under its own weight, the industry is rife with tales of success and downfall. The narrative takes a particularly dark turn with figures like Eddie Guerrero battling addiction and, in Chris Benoit's case, succumbing to the harsh realities of a business fueled by deception and paranoia. Since the tragic events in Georgia in June of 2007, Chris Benoit's legacy has been a subject of intense debate and rightfully so. It's impossible to discuss Chris Benoit without confronting the tragic events that transpired that fateful weekend. In the ring, Benoit was undeniably one of the best. He was a fierce, hard-hitting performer who could convey a compelling story through his in-ring prowess. Despite lacking proficiency on the mic, he compensated with his ability to captivate audiences solely through his actions within the squared circle. However, criticisms arose regarding Benoit's tendency to relentlessly press on without allowing his opponents to sell the impact of his moves. A trait that, like a relentless buzzsaw, occasionally overshadowed the storytelling aspect of his matches. Despite being a machine-like force in the ring, the toll of his grueling schedule and physicality began to manifest. Chris Benoit's poignant statement, "life don't push you into the depths of darkness, you do, " resonates with a stark truth. Yet, it begs the question of how can one not be led into the shadows in an industry devoid of an off-season, proper healthcare, or a reliable medical support system? In a world where performers are expected to work tirelessly, often turning to prescription pills and questionable medical practices, the line between personal choice and systemic coercion becomes blurred. Unlike mainstream sports, where regulations safeguard the athletes, professional wrestling operates under a different set of rules. The industry, often dismissed as too carny or insignificant for scrutiny, faces a reckoning. The blame, however, often falls on the performers rather than the exploitative structures that have fueled the business for decades. The tragedy of Chris Benoit highlights the darker side of professional wrestling. Whether attributed to CTE, unregulated drug use, or a myriad of factors, his actions in June 2007 were unimaginable. The debate over his place in the Hall of Fame seems trivial when compared to the profound loss experienced by the families left in the wake of the horrific events. Chris Benoit's legacy is that of a man consumed by his passion for professional wrestling, a passion that eclipsed personal well-being and family. Obsessed with reaching the zenith of an industry that once deemed him too small and too bland, Benoit sacrificed his own happiness and, tragically, the lives of his family. As wrestling fans, it's time to confront the uncomfortable truths and demand accountability from an industry that has witnessed an alarming number of premature deaths. Only then can we break free from the cycle of mourning and tribute shows, acknowledging that the performers are not the sole architects of their own demise but victims of a system that thrives on exploitation and antiquated circus-like practices. Regardless of the factors at play, be it CTE, depression, or substance abuse. Chris Benoit's story is a stark reminder that he was, in many ways, a casualty of the professional wrestling business. While this realization doesn't absolve him of his heinous actions, it prompts a broader conversation about the industry's responsibility and the urgent need for change. In remembering the lives of Nancy, Daniel, and Chris, wrestling fans must confront the uncomfortable truths and demand an industry that prioritizes the well-being of its performers over its longstanding traditions.
3630.12.2023stretchjayy10.0One of the best wrestlers ever, if not THE best ever. Dont agree? Argue with your tv. Unlike many weirdos on this site, i'm here rating him as a wrestler
3730.12.2023Grapefruit Juice0.0The rating on here for such a troubled person is far, far too high. His triumphs in the squared circle are all overshadowed by an unfortunate and incredibly dark truth. Chris Benoit is a terrible person, while the likes of Invader 1 and Jake the Snakes atrocious father are given their low and much deserved 0 stars, the family murderer is given a pass based off matches that, while they may be alright, are hard to really watch. Any celebration for a win he gets is always a hard watch, any triumph he got in the squared circle has a permanent and looming shadow over it. We should not give anybody a pass for actions like this, picking and choosing who gets their laurels after situations so hideous is not what we should be doing. Countless stories, matches, people and events are unable to be looked at the same way after 2007. Chris Benoit should be forgotten, his right to have victories has long been taken away after his actions. While CTE, Depression or whatever maelstrom of things may have been a cause, others who have dealt with them have not resorted to murdering their families.
3828.12.2023Madlad10.0People giving zero ratings to Chris Benoit in this site and say "I don't give a damn how much of a good wrestler he was" guess what shit head THIS IS A SITE FOR WRESTLING. And as being a wrestler Benoit was one of the best ever. so many great matches.

4024.12.2023laddermatch As far as a professional wrestler goes, Benoit is perhaps the most dynamic performer of all time. His body of work is hall of fame worthy. However, Chris Benoit the person can never be redeemed for the atrocities he committed in the final days of his life. The man murdered his wife and child before taking his own life. What you do in the real world far outweighs what you accomplish in a pseudo sport. What he did was absolutely unforgivable and will forever tarnish not only his legacy, but the sport of professional wrestling as a whole. I refuse to rate him for this. May Nancy and Daniel rest in peace.

4605.12.2023Blakeiok8.0Amazing wrestler with good in ring abilities and a decent promo, he never failed to make wrestling look real and put his head and his body on the line every week, unfortunately that caught up to him (R.I.P Nancy and Daniel) I will never forgive him for what he did but he is arguably one of the best wrestlers of all time.
4703.12.2023crs2853.0Benoit is probably the hardest person to grade in pro wrestling history. He was an outstanding wrestler in the ring with everything you need to be a star, but he was also a murderer and even outside the ring didn't have the best reputation before that. Now best used as a warning sign of why we have to take concussions and CTE seriously. Went with a three, 2 points for his in-ring abilities that were outstanding and a single point for the attention he put on the steroid use and concussion issues that were rampant in WWE at that point in time.

5026.11.2023TheDeity While he was a fantastic wrestler in his time, Chris Benoit's legacy will forever be tarnished by him murdering his wife and child. He's best left forgotten as a result of this tragedy since such actions far eclipse his wrestling career.
5119.11.2023JediSaiyanMaster120310.0I mentioned this in my Hulk Hogan rating, and I feel I definitely need to mention this here. My ratings of these wrestlers are only based on what they did in the ring and not what they did behind the scenes, not gonna get into you-know-what, but please know I'm not endorsing his actions and know I'm not overlooking his crimes. Now that I got that out of the way, let's continue. Chris Benoit is in a completely different league of his own in the ring, you could make the argument that he's the absolute best wrestler of all time. He has always been a joy to watch whether he was in WCW, ECW, NJPW, or WWE, he has always showcased his best in the ring. Having great matches with the likes of Eddie Guerrero, The Great Sasuke, Kurt Angle, Bret Hart, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Brock Lesnar, Dean Malenko, Chris Jericho, Fit Finlay, MVP, Steve Austin, and many more to name. The man was very dedicated to his craft, working at every show he was booked on, even if it required for him to wrestle 5-7 days a week, always giving the paying audience their money's worth. Chris Benoit was a true ring general, could go 30-60 minutes with anyone, could call it on the fly and work around even the worst of opponents. He threw some of the best suplexes of all time, the crippler crossface is one of the best submission moves of all time, everything he did looked fantastic. Overall, while a complicated legacy, he was among the best wrestlers to ever step foot in the ring and gave you his all no matter what.
5219.11.2023Spindly0.0I could not give two shits how good of a wrestler Chris Benoit was because he took the lives of his wife and son. He robbed the world of two beautiful souls and for that he can rot in hell. No amount of great wrestling will ever be enough to compensate for two human lives and the fact that so many people are willing to overlook this is absolutely baffling to me. As much as I love pro wrestling I will never allow my love of wrestling to rise above my human decency to forgive this monster for what he did. I don't care how heavily his brain was affected by the steroids he still made the decision to take the lives of two people who did not have a choice. We should never value wrestling over human lives and the fact that people defend this man who is now widely known to have been a terrible person backstage towards other talent is absolutely sickening.
5312.11.2023yvonnelikeswrestling1.0Ill give him a sigular point for his wrestling career since yes. he is one of the best. But what he did is more important than anything beyond wrestling. He can rot in hell for eternity and rest in piece daniel and nancy. He had such great matches throughout his career in many promotions yes. But I will not give him anything higher than this for the terrible horrible person he was. Everything he accomplished and contributed to in his career gets all thrown out the window by his actions and it does suck because yes he is an amazing wrestler, Nancy and daniel's lives matter more than some stupid sport's legacy. If we can judge hulk hogan, jbl, new jack, and velvateen dream for their out of the ring actions, we can absolutely judge a fucking murderer in Benoit. Rest in piss you are not missed dickhead.

5608.11.2023Loge7.0He was pretty good technically in the ring but lacked any mic abilities imo. Never seen a good promo from him. Kinda weird since I think he did recent interviews. Seeing him win at WrestleMania 20 was awesome and obviously the highlight of his career. I have a hard time watching Chris Benoit matches nowadays without getting distracted, since all I can think while watching a lot of the time is, "Wow, that dude killed 3 people." It's terrible. Obviously I'm separating his Wrestling skills from his character outside the arena, as he would probably be a zero otherwise. Everyone knows that, and everyone that rates him a zero is doing such because they're rating him outside the arena. And that's fine, you can rate him however you want. But I'd be lying if I said his murders didn't affect the way I see him when he's on my TV screen. Just a little bit. It's weird because I can watch a Chyna match or a Scott Hall match or Grandmaster Sexay or Eddie or whoever the fuck and completely forget they're dead and not think about it at all during the match, but with Chris it's just constantly in the back of my head. There's just this lingering feeling when I see him. He kinda fell off after 2005 ngl, and was lingering around the ECW bracket right before his death. Not that that's really a bad thing, just weird.

6025.10.2023Mark Mou [10/10] Chris Benoit is probably the best wrestler in history. His technique, determination and intensity have made him a point of reference for those who want to undertake the profession of wrestling. His passion went beyond, he won every title and gave everything for his work every country, Mexico Canada Japan America, everywhere. The Royal Rumble victory is the most sublime and WMXX is the most exciting event. Worth mentioning is SuperJCup 94 and the wonderful feuds against Angle Jericho, Booker t, Triple H and others. The Rabid Wolverine deserves a 10 rating. Cagematch is a wrestling site and I judge Chris for the great wrestler he was

6530.09.2023GoldLiger I don't think it's possible to objectively rate Benoit on a numerical scale, because so few people have had such an insane gulf between what they did in and out of the business. I could easily rate Moolah a 0 because what she did in and out of the ring was horrid on every level, but Benoit's always been a very extreme case. That said, even in a timeline where Benoit's overworked heart gave out in 2007 before he did what he really did, I think 9s & 10s would still be hyperbolic. Purely as a performer, Benoit was an excellent technician and a hard striker and could match his opponents' styles pretty well, but he was closer to Perry Saturn than Eddie Guerrero in terms of personality and promo skills; despite some of his excellent matches he very rarely connected with a crowd and as such if I felt comfortable rating him I'd give him an 8. But you can't change what really happened, and there are scant few people who outright committed something so awful, especially during their active career. To split the difference and give Benoit a 4 or 5 wouldn't really work either, so I'm just going to let this comment speak for itself, but it should be said that there have been a number of technical experts before and since Benoit that were as good, nearly as good, or better, all while never committing murder.
6626.09.2023cagematchsucks every single comment on hulk hogan's page has the word racist or liar in it but the family murderer's account has 600 perfect grades. this website is fucking embarrassing. everyone who uses it is embarrassing and the mods are just a bunch of virgin sickos. Immortan Scott who wrote "He would easily be a 10/10 based on his in-ring work but, uh, yeah, I can't give him the highest grade because of the whole killing his family thing. I have no problem giving his matches a 10/10 (they were before he did that unspeakable crime) but I would hate myself if I gave the man himself that garde." then rated him a 9 should find a nearby extension cord and ceiling fan.
6726.09.2023cioran Probably the best worker in the late 90s/early 00s after Brett Hart. A total match machine. Career hampered by being short, somewhat lacking in charisma (though he had an intensity) and personal qualities, Only other guys close were Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, HBK, and in the 00s a bit later Kurt Angle. Has a ton of outright amazing matches. Carried plenty of people who are honestly not that good to decent matches. But I'm torn on giving a dude who murdered his family a 9 or 10. He's literally the worst human being in the history of pro wrestling regardless of how awesome he is as a worker. I also wouldn't give him a 0 just because he's an awful guy because his matches are great. The guy put on a match with Malenko that's a legit banger at Sturgis while the crowd was either disinterested, booing or throwing things. Total match machine. He made Sid Justice look like a talented wrestler. HBK (who was no slouch) could barely did that with Sid. CB literally never had a bad singles match.
6825.09.2023LizzieTheLizard0.0A great wrestler, but greatness is able to be wiped under the table when you do **that**. They say separate the artwork from the person, and sure, Chris' artwork was great. But as others say, even though he was amazing in the ring, you just can't separate what he did to his family from what he did in the ring. You can bring up his absolute masterpieces against Otani, even his matches against Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, so on and so forth. I'm willing to admit that all of them were great, if not amazing matches, but the prime issue with Chris still remains, and it's that it is proven that he did physically do that to his family, and knowing that he committed a double murder-suicide completely tears any argument away that you can possibly make for him being good. Wrestling, indeed, isn't all about what you do inside of the ring nor outside, but who you are as a person and what you do definitely plays a role, and Chris absolutely does deserve a 0.
6925.09.2023Nellycatt If were talking strictly his contributions to the squared circle then hes on of the best, perhaps a top 3 technician ever. A bit of a charisma vacuum as well as slightly undersized but he made up with his skills and intensity. He made for the ideal upper midcard guy who flirted with the main event occasionally, however I couldnt buy him as a main event guy. All that being said we know what he did to his wife and kids so f him forever.
7022.09.2023Hunterthebird Benoit could embark on a journey for 40 days and 40 nights and still his legacy would be what happened that day. He was one of the most realistic wrestlers of all time, someone you had to be on your absolute best while working with. Although he was held back from being a true main eventer by being a steaming pile of Mid on the mic. He was pretty safe with his workers. With himself? not so much. I try to seperate the art from the artist when i watch him, but every time i see something happen to his head, i want to look away.
7119.09.2023DangoDaisuki0.0Ich habe so lange mit mir gehadert und Chris Benoit nicht bewertet. Ich fand ihn schon immer einen guten Wrestler, jetzt auch nicht übermäßig gut, aber definitiv um die 8 Punkte herum. Jedoch was er getan hatte war so schlimm, dass ich mir jetzt sicher bin ich kann wirklich nur 0 Punkte geben. Ich kann mir nämlich aufgrund dessen nicht einmal ein Match von ihm heutzutage anschauen, da ich mich unwohl fühlen würde. Ich hatte es mehrmals versucht, aber ab einen gewissen Punkt sollte man auch Wrestler und Person nicht mehr trennen. Das ist natürlich debattierbar, aber nach langem Überlegen ist das jetzt meine Meinung. Das war der ausschlaggebende Grund warum ich denke, dass eine 0 gerechtfertigt ist, da seine Matches jetzt für mich unansehbar sind.
7211.09.2023Ophelia0.0Incredibly talented performer, perhaps one of the greatest of all time in terms of sheer workrate and in-ring talent. Always seems somewhat awkward on the mic, which was always his biggest weak point, however his in-ring talent was always the highlight. Nowadays, I physically cannot stomach watching a Chris Benoit match. Knowing what he would go on to do, it feels eerie and wrong, and I am unable to sit back and enjoy the match. I completely understand why someone would want to separate his work in the wrestling industry from the man himself, however I do not understand how one can physically do that. When I see Chris Benoit, his crimes are all that comes to mind. The only good thing to come from this man long-term is the new attitude the wrestling industry has to safety and the awareness of the long-term effects of certain things in wrestling on the body and mind. For me, he cannot be any higher than a 0, because I cannot sit through a whole Benoit match, it is impossible for me to stomach.
7305.09.2023Immortan Scott9.0He would easily be a 10/10 based on his in-ring work but, uh, yeah, I can't give him the highest grade because of the whole killing his family thing. I have no problem giving his matches a 10/10 (they were before he did that unspeakable crime) but I would hate myself if I gave the man himself that garde.

7627.08.2023face painted legend10.0A total machine in the ring. When the bell rang, Chris went at one solid pace the entire match every time he entered a ring. He never sped up from that constant pace. He never slowed down from it either. Which is how he was always able to go and go, and go without ever getting tired. Something that I CAN'T say about too many guys, maybe a count on one hand list at best. That also made him someone who you wrestled him, you had better be at the top of your game both in ring wise, as well as cardio wise because he was gonna be all over you the whole match, and eat you alive otherwise. On top of that, he had intensity flowing out the wazoo, and his explosiveness when delivering moves and strikes was off the charts. Every time he'd knife edge chop somebody, clothesline somebody, snap suplex somebody, you name it, he looked like he was absolutely taking their heads off or snapping their backs in half. And i think it goes without saying that he was one of the best technical wrestlers of his time. He could do the submissions, he could do the chain wrestling, he could do the catches catch can stuff, etc, He didn't need an over the top personality, he didn't need to talk people in to the building, all anyone had to do was simply watch his work to realize he was one of the most believable and credible people working for whatever company he was working for.
7724.08.2023xToniSk1989x5.0Als Wrestler einer der besten, die jemals in den Ring gestiegen sind. Umso trauriger, dass er seinen Ruf im Business, seine komplette Karriere und das Leben von zwei Menschen und sein eigenes im Juni 2007 komplett in den Sand gesetzt hat. Er hat so viel für das Business getan, aber auch diesem nach seiner letzten Aktion komplett geschadet.

8307.08.2023ViolenceBret8.0Oh boy, how does one even rate Chris Benoit? First let's get the elephant out of the room, the man murdered his wife and kid in a psychotic fit of rage. Does that justify a 1/10 rating? Sure, his legacy is tarnished forever and it is difficult to overlook. However, was Benoit truly worthy of the 10/10 rating as some people claim? For in-ring abilities and athleticism, it didn't get any better than Benoit with the likes of Kurt Angle still referencing their classics. You really can't whitewash history with all its ugliness, and the fact of the matter is this individual had a some truly great matches. Yet the main Achilles heel (besides the obvious) in Benoit's career was his limited promo ability. He wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination on the microphone, he had more fire than Dean Malenko or Lance Storm. Still he just never seemed very comfortable in front of an audience or telling the story verbally. Thus some major points would be deducted if we are grading Benoit for his overall career. Moreover, his main event title runs were never handled with the most care. Once he got the belt it seemed like he was never being presented as a proper rabid wolverine or even top guy. Either way you look at it, Benoit's career is just depressing. Could have used some sizzle with the steak, too bad the meat was rotten, well-prepared, but still rotten.

8521.07.2023grutherford317 I can acknowledge his in ring work. He was very good at what he inside the ring. That is as much as I will comment on that. What he did outside the ring in his final moments was completely unforgivable. I think Paul Heyman said it best: 3 people died that (weekend), but only one of them had a choice. Fuck him!
8620.07.2023BEER CAT0.0if we're supposed to rate the WORK and not the PERSON, then here's the problem with watching Benoit's work - when I watch it, I always think about how *an innocent woman and child were violently murdered*. I find that really distracting when I'm trying to critique the proper form of a German Suplex, y'know?
8719.07.2023AwesomeBomb200210.0One of the best wrestlers who ever stepped foot in the ring, incredible technique, the best ever in this along side with Kurt Angle, every thing he did in the ring was not only technically perfect, but also so "real", his face looked like he was about to kill someone in the ring. Probably the most intense wrestler of all time. It's an immense tragedy we lost him.

8916.07.2023bigredtalk899.0One of the top 5 in ring workers in WWE history. His charisma was lacking, but occasionally could cut a really good promo. Had a disappointing title run, but there may be no one who ever laced up their boots that was as good as him. Obviously, I'm giving him a score that reflects what he was as a wrestler, not how his life ended.
9014.07.2023NickJammer22210.0The man killed his family and was a scumbag outside the ring. Nothing more than 0 for this man for what he did and to add to it, he nearly was a reason that the wrestling business died which takes away any contributions he did before. The fact that people voted him this high AFTER what he did makes me question alot of peoples mindsets.
9114.07.2023jendenrenlen0.0While I've watched a good bit of his stuff and it's been great, it's still impossible to ignore the fact that Chris Benoit murdered his family. I see no reason to give a murderer anything more than a 0, no matter how good he was in the ring (especially considering, as another commenter mentioned, Invader #1 has almost entirely 0 ratings on this same website)
9212.07.2023Frank Shooter10.0One of the greatest technical wrestlers of all time. Had intensity, amazing talent, charisma (not The Rock-like) but enough for people to care about him.
9308.07.2023MattHall Chris Benoit will forever be remembered for the tragedy that happen in 2007, While others may consider him their hero, I won't let a child murderer be my hero. Obviously, he was one of the best in-ring technicians to ever live, but his tragic incident in 2007 will forever overshadow it.
9406.07.2023BigDave1230.0To anyone claiming they can forget about what he did and to not let it affect how to judge his wrestling career, what's wrong with you? The man was a monster and nothing he did in the ring should let him get any praise from anyone for anything. This isn't someone who made a few silly mistakes, this is a murderer and he has no redeeming qualities.
9506.07.2023TomeryKY0.0The guy who killed Bruiser Brody has a rating near a 0. Benoit gets to keep a rating near a 9 though. I very much doubt that Bruiser Brody's killer is the worst wrestler to have ever lived so obviously the excuse of "separating the artist from the art" only applies when it is convenient. Benoit was my favorite wrestler as a kid. Him winning Big Gold at Wrestlemania was probably the happiest moment I had as a kid watching wrestling. I couldn't believe it because I had assumed he'd always just be a midcard guy. I never thought they'd elevate him to the top like that. I was ecstatic. Those memories are all tainted now though. I frankly don't understand how anybody can watch his stuff and just ignore the fact that he killed his family. It's not even like say The Hurricane where you can say "Oh he was playing a character I can separate that from the person." Benoit was basically just himself throughout his time in WCW and WWE, just sort of a real intense guy. Too many people want to pretend what he did just doesn't matter because those Kurt Angle matches where just sooo good or whatever. So many amazing wrestlers out there today and in the past. Unreal that people choose to cling to a murderer when they don't need to if they want to enjoy good wrestling.

9826.06.2023lukasmgc0.0I will never watch a Chris Benoit match. If I do watch a Chris Benoit match it's because people praise it highly and that's it. I shouldn't have to type a full paragraph on why the hell I avoid his matches as much as possible. I don't understand how people can sit there and watch what his matches and say "SEPERATE THE ARTIST FROM THE WORK" after what he did. Fuck this dude.
9920.06.2023danzitorock10.0Analyzing only the wrestler, and not his personal attitudes, Benoit is certainly one of the most gifted and talented technical wrestlers of all time and wrestlers in general, and therefore deserves all the recognition for his achievements in the industry, which accredit him as unique talent endowed with athleticism and ability.
10018.06.2023beastmxm0.0He is one of the greatest in-ring wrestlers of all time. His matches are amazing. He had some of the greatest matches, moments, etc. of all of wrestling history. An amazing worker. As a wrestler, he is 10/10, no doubt. That being said, f**k Chris Benoit. There is absolutely no looking past what he did. I'm giving him a 10 for his in ring material, but I will say til the end of the world that Benoit is an awful person and what he did is inexcusable. Anyone who complains about WWE censoring his matches, not mentioning his accomplishments, etc. are brainless. He murdered his innocent wife and son. He deserves no recognition. He deserves no praise. He deserves nothing.
