Who Is Better World Champion Daniel Bryan Or Chris Benoit?

I have to go with Benoit on this one. D-Bry can be a good world champion but he just won the title and he hasn't gotten any clean wins on SmackDown since his title win, on top of that, he hasn't had a clean title defence. (His 1st Defence ended in DQ, 2nd ended in No Contest) The 3rd one this week might be the same result because it wouldn't make sense to drop the title with 2 weeks before the Rumble because it'll be like the WWE Title scene, a case of Hot Potato where everyone holds the title for 2 weeks, then eventually the title stays on the original title holder.

With that said about D-Bry I think it's obvious why I chose Benoit for this one, when he was champ he didn't disappoint, he proved to us why exactly he is the World Heavyweight Champ and backed it up with good title defences, good feuds and telling people off on the mic which is also pivotal in a world champion.

I'm not denying D-Bry as World Champ, but it seems like outside of WWE he was a better champion because he was more in his comfort zone in the Indies, thats how I feel. D-Bry just needs more time in the main event scene in WWE for him to break through and prove to me why he can hold the title for a long time.

BQ: He can, but it'll be tough for him to do. For starters he has two giants going after him for the World Title which makes his path to the Rumble very hard. He could lose it on SmackDown, he could lose it at the Rumble, or he could defy all the odds and retain it at both SD and the Rumble, then with those both title defences he could hold it for another 4 weeks or so.

I doubt he'll hold it for 5 months, he needs to develop a gimmick first. I understand he's an underdog and thats his gimmick, but you can't always have an underdog gimmick because in the end you'll be booked to win more and it'll kill the whole idea of the gimmick. I like D-Bry and all, but if he wants to hold that title, he needs to develop more in the WWE, maybe he should pitch some things he used in Ring of Honor which could possibly work.

Chris Benoit by far...look how he won the WHC. He beated 2 LEGENDS in hhh and hbk. How did bryan win it? by cashing in a f****** briefcase while the big show was knocked out. Daniel Bryan will never and i mean ever be like chris benoit. I said it before and i will say it again, bryan is a wannabe chris benoit. Chris Benoit put his body on the line every night giving it 199% and had numerous classic matches and moments. I can't even think of 1 good match that bryan has had.

I have to say that Benoit had the better reign as WWE World Champion but was not the better wrestler.

Benoit won the title in one of the best Wrestlemania title matches, beating Triple H and Shawn Michaels, making Triple H tap out. Where Daniel Bryan took the easy way and cashed in the MITB.

On top of that, Benoit defended his title with clean victories and even in a Wrestlemania rematch but making Michaels tap out instead.

However the big difference is that during Benoit's reign he didn't turn heel, he stayed face.

Daniel Bryan did hold the ROH World Championship for 15 months and defended that title on a regular basis, about 38 times, often having matches in excess of over forty minutes in length. During this reign he defended the belt about thirty eight times. During his reign he turned heel as well.

I believe that if WWE would allow Bryan to defend his championship in real wrestling matches, with an opponent just as talented as himself (Punk is about the only one in WWE who is as talented, in wrestling skills), he could make a lot of people change their minds.

Benoit

Bryan gets no reaction from any crowd. Benoit was a way better wrestler and World Heavyweight Champion.

Chris Benoit

BQ; No i dont his been jobbing for months then suddenly he comes world champ and gets no reaction from the fans

Bryan

Benoit is a way better wrestler and champion than DB will ever be!

RIP CHRIS BENOIT!

This is a very hard question but I have to say Chris Benoit because of what he did in pro wrestling.

One of my favorite pro wrestlers of all-time.
