## Cruiserweight division(1994-1996)

Eric Bischoff started introducing new faces for the cruiserweight division as he revealed new talent Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit would face each other to face CW champion Jushin Liger later on the night. At Starrcade, Eddie defeated Benoit but failed to defeat Liger later on the night

Benoit had really good CW matches throught 1995 and was involved in the HW vs CW series as he was the first man who started heavily attacking heaviweights and taking revenge on them, in the first ever World War 3 he shockingly managed to last eliminate Diamond Dallas Page to be the winner of the first battle royal but he was eliminated by Ric Flair in the match within. At Starrcade 1995, Eddie Guerrero, Jushin Liger, Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko and Keiji Mutoh defeated Steven Regal, Bobby Eaton, Fit Finlay, DDP and Kensuke Sasaki in a wargames match to end the HW vs CW series

Benoit managed to become NO1 contender to the United States Championship during mid 1996 but lost to US champion Eddie Guerrero at Hog Wild. Benoit started trying to get his career to the other level as he challenged the new leader of Four Horsemen Arn Anderson to a match(Arn formed a new 4HM and wanted whoever beat him and impressed him to join the group). At World War 3, even if Arn tried to use weapons, Benoit still managed to defeat him. Arn started becoming more hardcore in his matches while the rest of the horsemen were more wrestling oriented which ended up with DDP challenging Arn for the leadership spot and at Starrcade DDP defeated Arn kicking him out of his own Four Horsemen causing 4HM to become Benoit, Steven Regal, DDP and Goldberg

## Four Horsemen(1997-1998)

Four Horsemen immediatly began a feud against New World Order, Benoit and Regal got a tag title shot against The Outsiders at Starrcade but failed to win. They had an amazing 37 minute match against Los Guerreros at Nitro 137 which is widely regarded as one of the best tag team matches ever, 4HM won becoming NO1 contenders to the tag belts. In the march 3rd episode of Nitro they defeated The Outsiders to win the WCW Tag Team Championships. At Uncensored they wrestled Los Guerreros again in 1997's Match of the Year as Four Horsemen managed to defend the belts, they dropped the belts to Steiner Brothers at Slamboree

They became NO1 contenders again by defeating Konnan and Juventud Guerrera but as Konnan was launching his new group The Mob, he invited Four Horsemen to their offices only to be beaten up by Saturn, Juventud Guerrera and Hired Guns while Konnan watches, Goldberg was able to break free but Konnan put a baseball bat on his neck, Konnan wanted to win the tag titles and 4HM were on the way due to being NO1 contenders, Konnan beat the crap out of DDP with a bat as he was forced to accept a match against them. At Bash at the Beach Four Horsemen defeated The Mob to continue as NO1 contenders to the tag belts. At Road Wild Steiner Brothers defeated DDP and Chris Benoit to retain the tag belts

They continued teaming up throught 1998, Goldberg became WCW heaviweight champion and DDP wanted to be champion and became NO1 contender, due to the tension Goldberg turned heel as he brutalized DDP, Chris Benoit and Steven Regal in WCW's most watched segment of all time with 7.6 million viewers putting an end to Four Horsemen. Regal decided to leave to focus on his singles career while Benoit joined NWO Wolfpac and urged DDP to do the same if he wanted to defeat Goldberg, Benoit got a WCW Heaviweight title shot against Goldberg but was destroyed by him, Benoit had one match against DDP leading up to Starrcade where if Benoit won he'd be included in the WCW Heaviweight Championship match at the show but DDP managed to win

## The Vigilantes(1999-)

2 weeks later, Benoit and all of Wolfpac turned heel as they attacked DDP and had him lose the title to their leader Scott Hall, Benoit decided to leave Wolfpac anyways sometime later and defeated Scott Hall. At Superbrawl 9 Eric Bischoff was scheduled to face Hulk Hogan in a steel cage match but he hired 3 men to do the job for him, Chris Benoit, Dave Taylor and Brian Adams who formed The Vigilantes.

The Flock tried getting Benoit to join their group but The Mob also did, Benoit immediatly refused The Mob's offer and they tried to destroy him but Brian Adams, Dave Taylor and The Flock's Raven, Bam Bam and Saturn stormed into their offices and beat them up. Benoit announced he would stay in The Vigilantes and not go to The Flock so Raven beat him up, at Slamboree The Flock defeated The Vigilantes in a 6 men tag team match
