He wrestled in indy leagues in Canada, Mexico, Japan & Germany before his professional career started. In 1993, he was signed by WCW, but the deal only lasted a year and he just played a jobber. A year later, the WWF signed up Benoit and similar to the WCW deal, he played a jobber and quickly disappeared. In 1995 he went over to ECW and that is wherehis "Crippler" nickname came from, he became known for his techical and submission skills and would cripple his oppnents. This kind of sucess brought him another WCW deal, where he became part of the "Four Horseman" stable. As a result of this sucess, Benoit became a very predominant midcarder. In 2000, Benoit won the WCW Championship, but was stripped off it later due to backstage problems. Benoit then requested to leave WCW and did, the WWF signed him up. Since then, Benoit has become a very successful midcarder in the WWE and is on the verge of becoming a huge superstar. _-_-_-_-_-_- II.
