1. Chris Benoit
WWE.com"I take a lot of pride in being one of the last guys that had the hands-on training from Stu Hart when I went to the Hart family to train . . . It was a good experience just to be there, to imagine all the people that had been through there, and all the blood, sweat, and tears that had been paid . . . Going to the Hart family for training was kind of like, if you're a very religious person, going to the Vatican" Chris Benoit states in 2003's WWE Unscripted book. You get the feeling that Benoit really delighted in the gruelling physical intensity of it all. The blood, sweat and tears were what Benoit seen as badges of honour, he was the kind of wrestler who valued toughness. In many ways he was like Stu, the same sort of intensity and personality. We have to consider Benoit the greatest Dungeon production, he more than anyone else stayed true to the hard hitting and submission style Stu taught him. You get the feeling that Stu's ideal worker would have wrestled something like Benoit, stiff and unforgiving. The Hart patriarch even went along to a Smackdown and watched Benoit battle Steve Austin in 2001. There was a lot of pride. Benoit ended up a World Champion, widely considered the best in-ring wrestler in the world for 2004. Tragically he ruined much of that legacy, killing his wife and child before taking his own life in 2007.
