Chris Benoit, despite all the controversy, was one of the most gifted wrestlers in WWE and had helped many during his time in the company. That also included MVP.
MVP spoke to Why It Ended, where he discussed his WWE career in detail and talked about how his first rivalry was with Chris Benoit and how he helped MVP a lot. This is what he said:
“My sh*t with Benoit it put me on the map because all of a sudden they were like, ‘F*ck we didn’t know you could do that. With Kane they always had me running away from him, being scared but with Benoit, because he was a friend and mentor back in my indie days, he knew what I could do.”
“So when they put me in a feud with Benoit all of a sudden people found out. ‘Oh sh*t, MVP can really wrestle. Like he can go.’ Yeah, dude, I can go. After our first WrestleMania match, I came back through the curtain and we’re just celebrating and people are giving me high 5s and congratulating me and Stephanie [McMahon] and goes, ‘Wow, that was amazing! Who knew you could do that?!’”
“Chris Benoit in his typical deadpan Chris-fashion just stepped in front of me and looked at her and said: ‘I did.’”
