Chris Benoit is one of the best wrestlers in the world today, however politics backstage have prevented him from reaching the level he is capable of being at within the industry. Benoit has trained in Stu Hart's "Dungeon". He has wrestled in such places as Canada, the U.S., Japan, Mexico and Germany. Benoit has held the WCW Tag Team title and Television title ( His TV title reign was never acknowledged on t.v.) At his level of experience and natural skill Benoit should be the World Champ and in main events throughout the country. His hometown is in Edmonton, Alberta but he's usually wresting in the States. Benoit is without a doubt one of Canada's finest wrestlers.
