Chris Benoit
When Chris Benoit was twelve years he saw the Dynamite Kid perform in the ring. At that moment he dedicated himself to
building his body for a career in professional wrestling. After graduating from high school in 1985, Benoit pursued his dream
and every week drove almost two hundred miles to train in Stu Hart's famous Dungeon. Benoit worked tirelessly to learn the
sacred art form and emulate Dynamite Kid's mannerisms and moves. Shortly thereafter, he debuted in Stampede Wrestling and then
Japan.
By the early 1990s, Benoit had a reputation as one of the world's greatest professional wrestlers. After winning Japan's
prestigious Super J-Cup Tournament in 1994, he arrived in ECW where he had many memorable matches and held the ECW World Tag
Team Championship with Dean Malenko. Benoit signed with World Championship Wrestling in October 1995 and was quickly recruited
by future WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair for the revival of The Four Horsemen. While Benoit held most every title belt the
company had to offer, he knew what he truly wanted to achieve in professional wrestling was unattainable in WCW.

(Bio Continued)
On January 31, 2000, he made a radical debut in WWE alongside Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn. Benoit
competed against many of the best, including "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Rock, Undertaker, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho and
Batista. In 2004, Benoit defied the odds when he bested twenty-nine other WWE Superstars to win the Royal Rumble.
This monumental accomplishment led him to fulfilling his destiny at WrestleMania XX when he captured the World
Heavyweight Championship in a Triple Threat Match versus Triple H and Shawn Michaels. After the realization of an
eighteen-year dream, Benoit defended his championship against all challengers. While he lost the prestigious prize five
months later to Randy Orton at SummerSlam, Benoit remained a top contender for many of WWE's renowned championships.

During Raw from Chicago, Illinois, a fan-held poster of Chris Benoit's head was visible a few times. It actually
took a while for someone in WWE to notice it as it wasn't confiscated until during the main event.
