Pick Your Poison: Eddie Guererro or Chris Benoit

[stedman262]

sure benoit could wrestle but he wasn't intense in the slightest,stone cold was an intense wrestler,benoit merely performed a 'slightly' intense push down clothesline and his intensity came from there,eddie guerrero had it all.Benoit was a boring boring wrestler,and his promos were even worse

Man this is so hard to choose, but i gotta go with Eddie. Look at how over he was at one point in 2004. He made smackdown the A show, sure he had some help but he was the main attraction. You can say that the WWE used his drug addiction to further his character, but America loves a story that goes from tragedy to greatness. This dosnt even count his wrestling ability. Look at his 5 star matches he had with Dean Malenko in ECW. Not to mention he had one of the greatest crusier weight matches of all time. The whole lieing, cheating,stealing gimmick worked out great for him. Him and JBL would nearly start riots in arenas. Benoit was great to, but his promos and mic skills were his downfall. Both of theses guys were amazing wrestlers.

Slim Pickns fuck you. You said here I go with this wrestling ability stuff? As a former all-district high school wrestler I look at the wrestling and entertainment aspects of the business. I was entertained by both of these guys in terms of wrestling ability but I thought Eddie was slightly more entertaining and Benoit was the better wrestler. I look at entertainment and wrestling aspects of the business and appreciate both. While I enjoyed Benoit's wrestling ability more, I found Eddie to be slightly more entertaining does it mean that I hated one guy over the other hell no. Don't hate me because I respect the wrestling side of the business as I was a wrestler it seems like your a fan who probably wouldn't know how to wrestle your way out of a paper bag. I know more than you ever will son.

You were a high school wrestler buddy. Big deal.

Amateur wrestling and professional wrestling are so different, that anyone claiming one has an influence on another should never be allowed to watch wrestling. Professional wrestling is entertainment, not wrestling. It's a television show, just like CSI. Instead of having actors pretend to be detectives, they have actors pretend to be wrestlers.

Your high school wrestling has fuck all to do with your ability to understand professional wrestling.


As far as the question goes, I'll have to say Chris Benoit. Eddie Guerrero only became an overrated wrestling God after he died due to being an asshole and selfish. Chris Benoit was an overrated wrestling God before he was an asshole and selfish.

That means that Benoit was at least a somebody before death, where Eddie really wasn't.

Your argument is very weak. Pretty much everything Slyfox said is true, you being a wrestler gives you zero credibility over me. I simply stated how you said that Eddie was more entertaining, than said Benoit was better. In the world of pro wrestling, that makes no sense. The fact that you felt the need to attack me by questioning my experience with wrestling makes you seem a little angry and bitter and really takes away from your argument in general.

i always like benoit in the ring he was a solid worker but he was just boring outside of the ring he had no personality and as y2j said he was a robot. when u look at eddie he was solid all around and b4 his heel turn and the whole who's ur papi angel wit rey he was prob the most over on smackdown and alot of ppl look over his match at angel at wm20 cause of the amazing triple threat match but it was a solid main event but i really liked both about the same but nod a lil more cause i like the lie cheat steal gimmick

 

[Fizzy]

I just made a impact on your mamma bitch
Eddie Guerro is hands down better Guerro is just as good as benoit in the ring
and he was 10 x better when it comes to entertaining[/QUOTE]


dude u make no sense benoit and eddie werent close to in ring ability at all. ill give u eddie was a good wrestler but benoit was arguably the best in pure wrestling skill ever. just give up u make no sense at all

I would have to say I am a little biased, We grew up not to far apart, but that is not my only reason for picking Chris Benoit. I look back at my favorite times in wrestling history, Chris Benoit winning the World Heavyweight title, Chris Benoit and Bret Hart in the Owen Hart tribute match, Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho teaming together, and I just realize without him, some of my favorite memories might not exist. I do wish we never lost either of these amazing wrestlers, and just think how great of a tag team they are making up in heaven against Owen and Pillman

The guys promos were atrocious. I found myself zoning out or turning the channel when he was on. The entire Spanglish thing doesn't sit too well with me. Pick a language, and cut a promo in one or the other, quit switching back and forth. The guys charisma consisted of gyrating his hips, whoopy doo.

Dude are you serious? That was part of his gimmick, he was a low life thug who did not care about rules or the "man". The way he changed in between languages is exactly what is being done in the "hood" as a format of blending two nations by being "ghetto". "gyrating his hips"? Ever heard of a Latino?
The music, the dance, the spice of a latin lover? Hello he was the "latino heat".

Overall both wrastlers had great mat skills. Benoit had great traditional mat work and made his performances magical. His face expressions, his passion made you believe for a second that wrastling was indeed real.But, Eddie had the explosive mexican mat work. His quickness, his aerial work, moves that are rarely seen in the wwe now,( super crazy anybody?) drove you to root for the guy even though you knew he might cheat, lie, and steal the victory.But you always knew he could win fair and square. what sets them apart is guerreros charisma, his mic work and his promos all entertaining and all over. Benoit had no persanality character wise. Overated, never if anything underated for both of the guys. The two should be future hall of famers!
