I know this will be a controversial topic. Hell i'll probably get some heat for writing this topic, but I don't care. I know that alot of people still hate Chris Benoit for what he did last year. I know I did. I still do, but not as much. For months I couldn't stand seeing Benoit and everytime I saw people standing up for Benoit I would get angry at that person. I was watching Wrestlemania 17 and I came across the Kurt Angle/Benoit match. At first I hesitated about watching the match, but I decided to watch it. That match was one of my favorite matches of all time and I just couldn't resist not watching that match. I know that what Chris Benoit did was wrong, but now when I see his matches I don't think about that. When I watch his matches I see Chris Benoit the wrestler. Ever since that incident the only blogs i've seen about Chris Benoit was about the incident or if he should get into the hall of fame for what he did. I could be wrong there might have been a blog that didn't involve the incident with Chris Benoit, but I haven't seen one. I feel that the best way for me to get over the incident and move on is by writing my five favorite matches that involved Chris Benoit. I would like to have at least one nice blog about Chris Benoit which I think people have been afraid to write. PLEASE DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE CHRIS BENOIT INCIDENT. I know what happened and i'm sure everyone else on this site knows what happened. Like I said I want this blog to be something positive about Chris Benoit so I think its best not to talk about the incident. If you still can't stand Chris Benoit and have nothing good to say about him then just don't write anything. The only comments I want to see is about the favorite matches that you loved involving Benoit. This list is not about the top matches Chris Benoit has been in so don't bash me if you feel that these matches sucked. If you do however write something negative about Chris Benoit then I will ignore you. I don't respond to ignorance. Well here goes my top 5 favorite matches:

1) Ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship- Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho (Royal Rumble 2001)
My favorite ladder match of all time. Both Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho worked there asses off in this match and it really shows. Both guys put on a classic ladder match and in my mind this I will never forget this match. I wanted the ladder match dvd because of this match.

2) Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit (Wrestlemania 17)
My favorite none gimmick match involving Chris Benoit. This was one of the best technical matches i've seen. Its rare to see good technical matches these days. This wouldn't be the first classic encounter these two had. There Steel Cage match, 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match and there match at the Royal Rumble were also phenomenal. I picked this match because it was the beginning of a great fued between these two.

3) 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match For The WWE Tag Team Championship- Chris Benoit & Kurt Angle vs. Edge & Rey Mysterio (Smackdown 2002)
One of the best non gimmick tag team matches i've seen. All four guys were excellent in this match and it had this classic feel. In the end Edge & Rey Mysterio won the gold, but I will never forget what a great performance by everyone. A couple of weeks later at Survivor Series 2002 another one of my favorite non gimmick tag team matches was a triple threat elimination tag team match involving Eddie Guerrero & Chavo Guererro/ Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit and Edge & Rey Mysterio.

4) United States Championship Match- Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero (Vengeance 2003)
A very good match from beginning to end. Yes Rhino interfered, but to me it didn't ruin the match. One of Eddie Guerrero's best match which should have been on his new dvd (I do understand why its not on there though). This match determined who would be the new united states champion after being brought back then general manager Stephanie McMahon. This match had me one the edge of my seat and is one of the best united states title matches.

5) TLC Match for the World Tag Team Championship- Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho vs. Edge & Christian vs. The Dudley Boyz vs. The Hardy Boyz (Smackdown 2001)
The second best TLC match i've seen and i've seen all of them. This match had then World Tag Team Champions Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho defend against The Dudleys, The Hardys, and Edge & Christian as a punishment from Mr. McMahon. There were alot of good spots in this match and was a classic tag team match with great action.
