Point is, if you're not looking at it from a "OMG, X-FACE IS A SHOOT" retard point of view, then you know that John Cena is a pretty damn big deal and he looked as strong as you can look booking-wise. Everyone that makes any comment about wanting a different outcome, no matter what it is, is saying it because they don't want Cena looking as strong at the expense of Benoit.

Realise that Benoit is going to be fine, his credibility is perfectly fine, and John Cena looked like a million dollars going into a show they are wanting to do a million buys. That's logic folks.
No, logic would have been to make the US Title, Chris Benoit and their program at WrestleMania look somewhat meaningful.

Benoit's status is hurt by this. A mark now sees Chris Benoit as being completely inferior to John Cena. Now they don't even have the "John Cena is a fighter, Benoit is a wrestler" excuse. Cena beating Benoit via submission does nothing for buys, does nothing for Cena (but make us loathe his status even more, and protect him further, which is NOT necessarily a good thing) and it certainly does nothing for Benoit.
