Benjamin has been praised by many, including WWE Hall of Famer announcer and one of the current voices of New Japan, Jim Ross as the “pound for pound best athelete” the WWE has ever seen.
Benjamin originally made himself known as being part of Team Angle which eventually springboarded into a singles career and became one of the best IC Champions of the past generation. He was released in by the WWE in 2010 and traveled to major independent promotions such as New Japan and Ring of Honor, capturing the ROH Tag Team Championship with Charlie Haas.
