Chris Benoit was a terrific wrestler, but he was also a pretty stiff one! In addition to his array of knife-edge chops, wholly convincing kicks to the gut and his incredible multiple German suplex manoeuvres (adding to a moveset borrowed almost wholesale from another very stiff worker, Tom Billington AKA Dynamite Kid), his nickname of The Crippler was a well earned moniker. Not only was he involved in an ECW match with Sabu which saw the former briefly paralyzed from a broken neck (more Sabus fault than Benoits, it must be said), Benoit was also generally well known throughout the industry for his punishing offence, which included painful submission holds and hard, driving attacks. Any wrestler standing across the ring from The Canadian Crippler must have known he was in for a long night.
