5 Greatest United States champions of all-time

Chris Benoit

Chris Benoiut won the US Title five times

While his name is not mentioned much in wrestling circles, the Canadian Crippler won the United States Title five times. His last title win was in 2006 in Jacksonville, Florida when he beat Mr. Kennedy on SmackDown. Benoit’s first run with the title came back in 1999 when he chased David Flair (no that is not a misprint) on a taping of Nitro in Boise, Idaho.

He was a two-time world champion, having been a one-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, and a one-time World Heavyweight Champion in WWE.

Benoit was also the twelfth WWE Triple Crown Champion and sixth WCW Triple Crown Champion, and the second of five men in history to achieve both the WWE and WCW Triple Crown Championships.
