Benoit signs new deal
Credit: Pro Wrestling Torch Newsletter

Reports indicate that WWE's SmackDown! brand wrestler, Chris Benoit has recently signed a new multi-year contract with WWE. Over the past several months there has been speculation as to if Benoit would continue his career with the WWE, TNA or outside of the industry entirely.

It is expected that Benoit will continue to wrestle for several more years. When his in-ring days are over, a job as a road agent or talent trainer awaits him. The general feeling backstage is that the company sees Benoit as a "lifer".

---------

Good to hear. He is the man.

And shepherds we shall be,
for thee my lord for thee.
Power hath decended forth from thy hand
so our feet may swiftly carry out thy command.
And we shall flow a river forth to thee
and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Well can't say i blame him, he has job for life now, he has nothing left to prove and although some dream match in TNA would be cool, he's probably making more money this way and having a better overall life.

He deserves to get everything he wants out of wrestling now, he's earnt it

Maybe we could see one more world title run in future for Benoit now he's signed the contract?Glad this has happened though.He definitely deserves it.

I think that's more down to when he is actually going to retire, I mean if he wants to wrestle for 5 more years, but his contract is only worth 3 years, I doubt he's getting a title run.

I think he might get another 2 more years though, so we may see a title run.3 years is a long time.

Does anyone think the reason Benoit lost the US title was because they weren't sure if he would sign or not?

congrats on the new deal. Benoit is probably in the best shape out of all the WWE wrestlers. With his work ethic he could probably wrestle another 10 years if he wanted to

Anyone else feel Benoit needs to turn heel and get his old theme back?The first theme he had without lyrics gives him a bit more of an attitude i think.

I could see AT LEAST 1 more run as World Champ for Benoit as long as it is NOT I repeat.... NOT overshadowed like his run in '04.

I would love it if he went back to being the heel crippler, however I think he's one of those guys that the WWE fans won't boo regularly.

I think if he went back to how he used to be, with his old theme music, he would be a better heel than you think(its just hard to realise that when hes been a face for so long).You just need to watch some old tapes of him back in 2000 to remember how good he was.

Awesome to hear. Glad to see he's sticking around. Maybe this'll make Vince think if he has him for the long-term, he can stick the big gold on him another time or two.

Great news.
