Wow, Tough Thread. But basically this is one of them times where u would have even plenty of times on this thread. But like Angle vs. HBK, any answers is reasonable along with an legitimate reason. Both men has won many different titles plus various heavyweight title reigns. Both could main event and headline shows as well as handle the midcard role, both guys went from ecw to wcw to wwe, and alot of various other things, But Luckily I had the pleasure of growing up watching these guys since 1995, and needless to say here's the reason for my answer.....

For this thread, I have to go with the Canadian Crippler himself, Chris Benoit. The reason being is because, if you go back to 1995, both men represented WCW at Starrcade in the WCW vs. Japan Tournament. And although Both men were worthy of this pretigious honor, back in the earlier days of both these superstars, Benoit was always more of a superb athlete over Eddie Guerrero. Number one, Benoit had the training experience of the Harts and the Dungeon, and two, he was more knowledgable at a young age in the style of technical and submission wrestling then any older experienced wrestler that's been wrestling before him. Although him and Eddie had many countless battles that resulted in them beating one another on many occasions, Benoit got his first Heavyweight Championship in WCW before he headed to WWE, where Eddie Guerrero got his first Heavyweight Title Reign after Benoit won his first heavyweight gold in WWE.

But in Eddie's Case, Eddie was one of the greatest Cruiserweights to ever wrestle in a WCW Ring. He had great chrisima about himself and his wrestling style, and brought live energy to his matches. Both men could sell Mid Card Matches real well but I guess WCW thoguht Eddie was a better Mid Carder and move Benoit up the ranks. But even though, Eddie was worth more of a WCW Push, but due to many people in the main event, it was hard for him to get a push. But however when they got to the WWE, that's when the overall careers of both men began to even out. Because, Eddie's progression and in ring performance improved dramatically during the latter days of his career. And so did Benoit, but Benoit was more over than Eddie cause of his skill as a technical Wrestler. But I think Eddie reaped more of a Harvest in WWE then Benoit, due to the Lie Cheat and Steal Persona, the Latino Heat Fiasco with Chyna, and the fulfillment of a great career when he beat Brock Lesnar at No Way Out 2004 to win his first championship. Both men were good in their prime, but Eddie gotten more better with Age than Benoit.

But like I said, both men are pretty much even, but I have to give the edge to Benoit, cause Benoit's beginning basically set the stage for the rest of his career. Eddie got better years on down the road, but Benoit was just too much of a Wrestler for his own good during his younger days, and even when Eddie another gifted athlete mastered his craft, and started performing better and progressing at his prime, Benoit was still on top of his game, that's why Benoit got Eddie beat in my opinion. But it's sad that we lost both men during the prime of their careers. How would their lives been another 3 years down the road? we will never know, but for those of us, who followed the careers of both men, we know that they did what they love, and they did it from their hearts, and we can't thank them enough, but the memories of both men will live on forever. Thanks Again Eddie and Chris.
