My brain says Bautista. My heart says Benoit. I am following my heart.

Benoit may not be the better person, but he was definitely the better wrestler. Fairly easily too.

As far as longterm "mainstream success" Bautista far trumps Benoit. Many title reigns, lots of high profile programs.
But as far as a versatile resume, Benoit by a long shot. Success all over the world, and a WCW and WWE world champ. Better "mechanic" without question. Bautista had the benefit of being much taller/more marketable, and not brutally murdering his family and committing suicide, cutting his career short. |

My hiccup is Benoit will be remembered longer, imo. And not for just the death and such. I think his career stands up better against time and legacy does have value...

I'd gladly go back and watch some Benoit matches right now. Couldn't say the same about too many Batista matches.

Exactly. While I def think Bats had some VERY underrated matches most roll their eyes and history will not remember him at all really. Will be like bringing up don muraco now in 20 years... Benoits work will age really well though...

In the interest of fairness (even though I've already voted), I'll try to list my favorite Batista matches:
* Undertaker at...23? * Maybe those Evolution/Shield matches ...what am I leaving out? |

Yeah even tho Benoit wasnt a main stay at the top he is a legend. And he was a great main event guy when called onto fit into a slot. To hardcore fans he is a staple of the style we grew up loving and had a bajillion memorable matches.
Bautista was pretty much only a top guy and probably "drew more" which seems tol always be a sticking point for many. |

I always liked Benoit. He seemed like a legit badass, while Batista only seemed roided up.
What Batista's got going for him is the fact he is Drax The Destroyer, but I'm still gonna go with Benoit. I guess mainly because I used to watch more wrestling back when he was around and Batista wasn't. |

Was never a huge fan of either. Benoit was a bore and Batista never did it for me either. Idk. Batista is my pick because his run as a Main Eventer was miles better than Benoit

I still have trouble separating the man and the worker, and haven't watched a Benoit match since he killed his family. All my memories and feelings about him seem tainted.
That being said..... logically I know how good he was and how much I used to like him. Batista's main event run was indeed better, and Batista was better on the mic (at least as a heel). I think end of the day.... it would be very close, but I think I'd pick Batista over Benoit. If I were running a rassling federation, I would want a heel Batista over a face or heel Benoit as my attraction. So I guess it all comes down to that. |

I am a sucker for guys who were serious about wrestling and made it feel real. The story is all but gone today, but guys like Flair, Hart and HBK made you believe and feel emotions through their stories.
I think Benoit came from that same mould. He didn't have their charisma, but he was such a good worker that he was able to say a million things with just a glance or a reaction to a move. One of the last truly great in ring story tellers imo. That ability elevates him above Bats for me. |

People not wanting to vote fo4 Benoit because he killed his family is a legit gripe. That is serious shit.

If i asked who was the most most infamous wrestler of all time benoit should win. If i ask who was a better wrestler benoit or batista benoit should have a fair go because his murder/suicide is off topic. |
