So you think it's perfectly fine that they made Benoit tap to the worst submission move in the business today when a simple pinfall would have sufficed?

For the record, I tend to think of submission finishes to be worth 2 pinfall finishes, and a submission against a guy like Benoit to be worth about 10. Does Cena need it? He's already on top. The sheep already think he's the best thing since sliced bread. A move like that just pisses the smart fans off. For the little bit that Cena went over, Benoit's image took a nosedive. The irony of it is that Benoit taps more than most others because of his tough image, so in the end he looks like a bigger pussy than most.

So no, I wasn't being serious when I said he probably slapped Steph's ass. But compare a hard-nosed Benoit to someone with a less tough image like Carlito. Benoit has tapped dozens of times while other guys have hardly ever tapped at all. In that respect, it seems as though the bookers have something against Benoit, making him tap when it's not even necessary.

And to help you in your communication skills, it's more productive to explain your reasoning when being critical of others rather than saying something along the lines of "That's pretty stupid." It makes you look a little ignorant yourself.
